The Awesomeness That Is Halloween

I recently saw the coolest Halloween light show of all time on YouTube and I had to share!

I love Halloween and I love Gangnam Style, and quite frankly, when the two are combined the result can only be one thing: pure awesomeness. Or as someone so perfectly described it in the video’s comment section: “This is made of pure win, wrapped in bacon and deep fried in butter!”

Since we don’t live in Virginia and can’t take a trip to witness this awesome light show live tonight, here’s the next best thing happening in St. Louis tonight:

A party on Trick or Treat Street. Yes, that’s right, the 5300 block of Nottingham in the Southampton neighborhood has earned the name Trick-or-Treat Street because of it’s Halloween awesomeness. Every year, this entire block decks out their houses with cool decorations and hosts thousands of trick-or-treaters from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. If you’re heading out for a night of candy hoarding, this is the place to be!

There are also some cool new Halloween apps to get you in the spirit while you’re at work , school, running errands or getting yourself and/or the kids ready for trick-or-treating tonight. Here are my faves:

Halloween Booth: Take a memorable Halloween photo where you can add a witch hat to your outfit or frame your own pic with skull and cross bones. There are an assortment of options to choose from. The app is $.99 for the iPhone.

Frankenweenie: Take a photo of your pet and spookify it by adding crazy devil eyes, horns or other accessories. You can even add a horror movie themed background. Your friends and family will love it! This app is free for the iPhone.

Halloween City: Something to do while you’re in between trick-or-treaters. Set up your own city where you can pick out what spooky houses you want, then add your choice of spooky characters: zombies, mummies, etc. You can even cross-breed them. If you like Farmville, SimCity, etc, you’ll probably love this app!

Halloween Scary Ringtones: Perfect for those staying home watching scary movies with the kids or significant others. Text your friend to call you right before a scary part in the movie to give them that extra jump! This is also fun to have while you’re getting ready for tonight’s festivities.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you’re going:

Happy Halloween!
