10 Last Minute Halloween Decorating Ideas
Bad Astronomy's Phil Plait lays out problems of modern science and the Nobel awards.
English novelist Kazuo Ishiguro perhaps best known for The Remains of the Day has been given this year's Nobel Prize in literature. If you want to know more about Ishiguro, the British Council has a good profile on him, but it might also be a good idea to read these two dialogues, one between him and fellow Nobel Laureate Kenzaburo Oe and another with Neil Gaiman [previously] or the Paris Review interview in the Art of Fiction series.

Video: White Walker Makeup Tutorial
Video: Khaleesi Makeup Tutorial
"Khaleesi, Daenerys Targaryen, mother of dragons and badassery, done in the style of both glam & gore. If you follow this tutorial, whatever you do, don't use burlap to make your top. I'm still itchy. The horse heart scene being referred to in this tutorial is from season 1 of Game of Thrones. If you don't watch that show or remember that scene, I probably look insane to you. :)"

Link Round-Up: Spooky Stories for Halloween
All Hallow's Read is a Hallowe’en tradition. It’s simply that in the
week of Hallowe’en, or on the night itself, you give someone a scary
book. Scholars have traced its origins as far back as this blog post. Of
course, All Hallow's Read isn't a substitute for the tradition of
giving away candy. Trick or Treating is a rite of passage. This is just
a great excuse to give someone a book.

Find out if your House or Neighborhood Is Haunted with the Housecreep Website. Housecreep was started by brothers Albert and Robert Armieri when they found the bedbug registries to be seriously lacking information about other scary things that come with real estate. Namely, they thought people might want to know about murders, alleged hauntings, nearby gravesites, and other potential issues for the frightened and superstitious.

[ Check out more Halloween Pumpkins! ]
I really admire the skill that went into this one. It's simple and lovely, and I could stare at it all day. I am itching to take a set of markers to it, though.

I'm seriously impressed with the artistic ability involved here, but what's the point of decorating a pumpkin if there's no carving involved? Kelly ought to have drawn this on the side of a canvas bag to hold trick-or-treating loot.
