I was going to jump on a high horse and decry the sad state of Halloween, a uniquely American holiday that is increasingly under attack joyless communists who think passing out candy to children (followed by some harmless debauchery) is in some way oppressing the proletariat. They’re worse than the ironically uncharitable evangelicals for whom Halloween has been Jack Chickified into some sort of blood soaked orgy of the New World Order.

But why spoil my Halloween? I’m going to be enjoying myself and you should too! Take the day off, pass out some candy then go out for some good old fashioned Samhain fun.

If you’re not lucky enough to be celebrating your Halloween Hellfireblogs style, and are stuck by the computer, here’s some good old fashioned Halloween fun that’s a keystroke away.

Why not shock your friends with some naughty Halloween E-cards?

Horrorfest starts up Nov. 9th in selected theaters. Buy your tickets and don’t forget to check out the new crop of Miss Horrorfest contestants.

Ghost Town has music appropriate to the season. One of the greatest niche blogs on the web.

Sexy Witch has a NSFW section guaranteed to make your hair, among other things stand on end.

No Halloween is complete without a little Calabrese, check out their YouTube page.

Also good music for your All Hallows soirée: The Young Werewolves, Ghoultown, 69 Eyes and of course The Damned.

Victorian Halloween and Dragonfly Design Studios are essential stops for the adult reveler planning a party. Tell ’em I sent you!

Happy Halloween America, go out and enjoy yourselves!
