Dressing up in spooky garb and decorating your house with jack-o-lanterns and cloth ghosts are common practice for Halloween. But if you want to take the scary celebration one step further, rent one of these 10 frightening vehicles, and roll up to the parties tonight in style.

Granted, half the list is basically "cars that try to look like the Batmobile," but, you know, Batman's wheels are actually pretty scary, so I'd say that's a fair criteria. The Dark Knight isn't going to intimidate any super-villains if he's driving the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. [ 10 Scariest-Looking Cars of All Time ]

The secrets behind making Grumpkins

It's one thing to grow humongous pumpkins for Halloween. But once you've created the monstrous vegetables, what do you do with them? Make art, of course!

Today the Wall Street Journal, of all places, brings us into the world of the science, art, and culture of creating Grumpkins.

Artist Patrick Moser has a beautiful website at grumpkin.com where he displays dozens of handcarved pumpkins, including images of Grumpkins weighing in at over 1,000 pounds.

Christie St. Martin
Christie St. Martin was born in Bermuda and educated at two Canadian universities that would prefer not to be mentioned here until she supplies them with healthy building endowments. An uber-geek and proud of it, she established herself as an Internet presence with All Things Christie, a blog that managed, with its quirky and unabashedly self-indulgent links to and commentary on whatever struck her fancy or her ire, to attract small legions of readers, fans and would-be stalkers. Her interests were as they are: myriad and eclectic, though certainly given to a particular fondness for the tech-y, the game-y and the kitschy. She is her own organizing principle, a kind of mad surfer on the crests of cultural lunacy, alternately acerbic, ecstatic and unintentionally insightful. She has since blogged for VH1's "Best Week Ever" and Exhausticated.com, providing her usual melange of cheek, snark and occasional observation. Christie also contributes to LAT's Hero Complex blog.
