Best clicks are Costume Ideasfrom Their Closet (don’t overlook your kids’ super hero pajamas) and Kids’ Costumes fromAdult Clothing (how about stuff from the seventies?)"

Halloween with Boowa and Kwala
"Owwww, it’s scary, wary! I love this site; its bright colors just draw me in. Designed for the under-ten crowd, it’s my pick of the day for anyone with an ""inner child."" Click around to discover the treasures. I won’t ruin it by telling you where they are, but they include a jigsaw puzzle, scissor crafts, and a pair of find-the-differences pictures. Boowa and Kwala have other holiday specials (including Christmas, New Year’s and Valentines Day) listed on the Events Index."

A fun look at how forty-six of the nation’s top syndicated cartoonists played a prank on all of us by drawing each other’s newspaper strips on April 1, 1997."

Goosebumps Scary Story Winners
""The creature twisted and turned. Green ooze bubbled out of the monster’s huge, gaping mouth and sizzled on the carpet. It ran after Matthew, through the kitchen, into the living room." Sound like a quip from a Goosebumps book? Nope, these stories are not written by famous Goosebumps author R.L. Stine, but by kids. Met the four kids (ages six to fourteen) that won the Goosebumps Scary Story contest, and read their winning entries."

Ghost Stories for Scouts
"Scoutmaster R. Gary Hendra from Milpitas, California has collected ghost stories over the years, and invites readers to send more. One story, written by Lord Baden-Powell, Chief Scout, is reprinted from the December, 1932 Christmas issue of "The Scouter" in England. In Britain, reading ghost stories (such as Dickens’s "Christmas Carol") in front of a flickering hearth are part of the Christmas tradition. In this country, of course, we tell ghost stories around the campfire or at Halloween."
