Playing catch up: Ghastly, gruesome and green

Put down the fake blood for a moment and check out these non-scary links before starting in on this weekend's macabre merrymaking.

I hope everyone has a festive, fun Halloween weekend. Remember to perform a little ceiling fan maintenance while setting back your clocks on Sunday and don't forget to recycle those pumpkins! Tonight, I plan on settling down with apple cider and a couple of scary movies. The Wicker Man, a Halloween favorite of mine, is queued up and ready to go ... anyone have any other recommendations? On Saturday night, I'll be the sweaty dude at an art gallery in Williamsburg wearing the panda ski mask. Can't miss me.
