Will The Nu-Vampire Trend Please Die? Tonight?
12:15PM Foster Kamer | Remember the Tarantino/Rodriguez camp-fest that was From Dusk Til’ Dawn? George Clooney killed a bunch of south-of-the-border stripper/hooker-vampires using holy water-loaded Super Soakers. That was in 1996, and it should’ve been the end of vampire-cool. Now look where we are. More »

Michael Myers Victimised By Weinstein’s Game Of Chicken
6:09AM Richard Rushfield | While the box office savants are impressed with the better-than-expected grosses of this weekend’s horror flicks — Final Destination 3-D and Halloween Rebooted 2 — the question on many lips is why did this slasher showdown have to happen? More »
Jokers Galore
10:43AM Seth | It’s The Office Joker-off! Creed wins. Shivverrrrr… We mentioned the Today Show’s fairytale costumes this morning, but you really need to watch the whole Matthew Broderick-narrated introduction (a marketing tie-in for The Tale Of Despereaux) to appreciate how exquisitely awkward and unsettling the whole thing was. Stick around for Kathy Lee’s diva-fit over being forced into a fur suit to play the Wolf. (We think that’s a fur suit.) Then click here to see a dog hungrily investigate Al Roker’s blue crotch button. The Sword celebrates the guy-in-a-bear-suit-blowing-a-guy-in-a-tux scene from The Shining (or as they call it around Defamer HQ, Tuesday), and nine other “homo-oriented horror flicks.” Somehow this costume ended up on a list of Worst Halloween Costumes Ever. Perhaps this list was compiled in Bizarro World, where the “worst” is actually totally kick-ass. You want bad? We’ll give you bad. (Though an A for execution.) OK, this isn’t Halloweenish, per se, but here’s the cover and song listing of Britney Spears’s new album, Circus. Pay special attention to track #9, “Mmm Papi.” We smell a hit. More »
Defamer Halloween Costume Ideas, Vol. VI: The Icon
6:41AM Seth | We realise our ongoing Halloween costume ideas series has so far overwhelmingly catered to the mannish among you, so we thought we’d now throw one out to all you sexy ladies in the house.

As Ronald Reagan on ‘The View,’ Elisabeth Just Says No To Joy Behar
5:14AM Kyle Buchanan | We told you to steel yourselves, and now here it is: following Whoopi Goldberg’s sartorial lead, the other co-hosts of The View dressed up as men today for Halloween. Presidents, in fact! They even introduced themselves in character, which was a little bit awkward when Barbara Walters-as-George Washington babbled on about freeing her slaves in a manner so leading that she practically demanded Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd fall at her feet in exultant praise. Then, it was Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s turn. More »
Javier, Philip, and Jake Are Fortified With 8 Essential Vitamins And Iron
4:35AM Seth | You may recall that about six months ago, we posted a Photoshop contest winning entry featuring the inspired casting of Javier Bardem as everyone’s favourite Prince of Dark Chocolateyness, Count Chocula. We said at the time that we’d definitely shell out for such a movie were it ever to be made, and threw out the suggestion of Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jake Gyllenhaal to play his monstrous kiddie cereal cohorts, Frankenberry and Boo Berry.
