There are a lot of resources on Halloween out there, and there are plenty of fun links to try too.

Here are my past writings on Halloween:

• Happy Hallowthanksmas! How do you cope with the holiday whiplash that comes when stores sell merchandise for all the holidays at once?
• Recollections of The Great Halloween Blizzard, which wasn’t all that great.
• Dread, terror, and the horrible candy of Halloween: What to never, ever give out to kids asking for candy.

Alternately, here are a few Halloween links:

• Ick or Treat: Another list of forbidden candies. These get to be a little controversial and people love to argue about them, but Tammy Swift of The Forum is, as always, hilarious.
• Here’s an explication of the Great Candy Hierarchy, revised from last year’s version, which I also didn’t agree with.
• Graphs can be scary, too.
• A gallery of Halloweens past. Long past, not your past. (Wrong holiday, Christmas Carol lovers.)
• And a gallery of vintage Halloween postcards, via BoingBoing, from the New York Public Library.
• A tale of Halloween poisoning, which is interesting.
• The Sun’s Halloween roundup, with plenty more links!
