Creased or Folded? hecklerspray Tells You the Way it is
Right and wrong. Folded: Flashback by Calvin Harris (the definition of a ditty. Annoy yourself for liking it) Halloween: Vampires (only really frightening if you fear teenagers) Burger King ‘Tub Burger’ (or ‘Windows 7’ according to the PR. Looks delicious) Zombieland (shouldn’t be compared to Shaun of the Dead, but it will be. Plus, whisper it, it might be funnier too) Give in ...

Halloween: The Nine Creepiest Puppets Of All Time
Halloween seems to have lost its bite lately. What's scary about a couple of children with sheets on their heads asking for confectionery? Nothing. So how can we make Halloween scary again? Simple - puppets. Puppets and dolls are easily the scariest thing in the entire world. Look at them, staring at you with their cold, dead eyes. They're terrifying. And we're pretty sure they all come to life at night and watch you sleep. Seriously, 9's released today and that little doll thing freaks us out. So in the spirit of Halloween we've decided to compile the definitive list of culture's creepiest, freakiest, most uncomfortably nightmarish puppets. Enjoy. And sleep well tonight...

Six Terrifying Movies To Watch This Halloween
Ahhh, is there any greater feeling than cuddling up to the woman/man that you love, watching a frightening movie on DVD, then spending the rest of the evening in a cold sweat, convinced that if you fall asleep - even for a second - they will start surgically taking you apart with a razor blade? This weekend it's Halloween, which means that a large portion of young people will dress up like dicks, and go around the streets badgering people for sweets, whilst others will go to parties dressed as orcs, and a very small percentage will kill for the first time. If you don't fit into any of those categories, perhaps you should spend the night in watching one of these six chillers? (we were going to do 666, but decided that six would just about cover it).

Celebrating Halloween This Weekend? Then This Man Hates You
October's rubbish. Not only do we have to piss around with our clocks to make our days darker, but it gets a lot colder. But there is a plus to all of this - Halloween! Hooray for Halloween indeed because, unlike Christmas, it isn’t promoted to us three months before it takes place and we don’t have to have awkward family meals with aunts we’d rather not see. Everyone benefits from Halloween. The kids get to pester neighbours and pick up tons of free sweets. Adults get to pointlessly dress up as ghosts, skeletons and zombies and get drunk at various parties and clubs. But of course, some people in society are all bah humbug about Halloween. This time it’s the turn of the Christians to get their Bible in a twist and proclaim that it’s evil. Just like this man, see his rant after the jump.

Michael Jackson Movie Released Near Halloween, Hilariously
It's fair to say that the new Michael Jackson film This Is It will be the greatest movie in cinema history. Wait, that needs to be modified. It'll be the greatest Michael Jackson movie in cinema history. No, that's still not right. It'll be the greatest hodge-podge of halfhearted private rehearsal footage of Michael Jackson in cinema history. We're almost there - it'll be the greatest hodge-podge of halfhearted private rehearsal footage of Michael Jackson that's released suspiciously close to Halloween in cinema history. Bingo. That's right - Halloween. Never say that Hollywood doesn't have a sense of humour.

Top 26 Slasher Movies
You would think the movie-going public had something against horny teenage girls. Why else would slasher movies – which basically revel in killing them off – be so popular? We just can't get enough of them. Mind you, it's not only the cheerleader types that usually end up in body bags. There's the jocks, of course. Then the nerds. Leaving the weird loner types to usually save the day. We are sure this has some kind of social significance and insight into Western culture, but we are a snarky entertainment site, for God's sake. We are not here to educate.

Bruce Springsteen Dresses Up Like Devil & Has A Lovely Sing-Song
Bruce Springsteen really loves Halloween - he loves it more than songs with the word 'born' in the title and he loves it more than muttering about AIDS. In fact, Bruce Springsteen loves Halloween so much that he's decided to dress up as the devil and release a brand new vaguely spooky song entitled A Night With The Jersey Devil on his website for free, just because today happens to be Halloween. It's a clever move. And it's prompted other old rockers to follow - next week Rod Stewart will release a song called Bonfire Night (Of My Heart) on his website, followed by Huey Lewis posting a song called I Give Thanks To You, Baby on November 27 and then Elton John releasing Woo, It's The International Year Of Astronomy! on January 15, just because he couldn't wait an extra month and do one for Valentine's Day, the impatient sod.
