The Addams Family are a spooky bunch, each member more eccentric than the last. They all have their own unusual yet interesting hobbies and obsessions. And their house is a museum—it says so right there in the theme song—so you would expect to find it filled with all sorts of weird stuff. What we’re saying is that the Addams Family house (and garden) is the perfect setting for a hidden object puzzle.

Most guys don't wear makeup on a day-to-day basis, so when you choose your Halloween costume, the fact that it may involve makeup could make or break that decision. Vampires, zombies, clowns and other costumes are known to regularly use makeup. Perhaps you're teetering on the edge of using makeup or just getting a mask, but remember that effective Halloween makeup can outweigh some of the cons of wearing a mask. There's no weird latex smell, for example, plus no problems with breathability, no mask sweat, and you don't have to worry about a limited field of vision. If we haven't entirely sold you on attempting to do your own Halloween makeup this year, we made several easy to follow makeup tutorials for guys. Costume makeup isn't as hard as it looks, and you'll be ready for any zombie pub crawls or office costume parties coming your way this holiday season!

Classic board games like Clue, Monopoly and Candyland have been getting face-lifts by pairing them with beloved movies and television series. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Candyland and Doc McStuffins Operation are examples of variations on these board games that make complete sense. Clue, originally Cluedo, is another iconic board game, and it is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year! Like many of the other classic board games, Clue also has various alternate versions. (Granted, some make more sense than others!) The original game of Clue revolves around a group of would-be murderers, a mansion with various rooms and a handful of potential weapons. We decided to design our dream version of Clue, and what would be better than a haunted mansion filled with iconic horror movie villains?

The horror genre has several staples that are bound to give you the heebie-jeebies: jump scares, creepy kids, basements, isolated settings and creepy dolls. We'll be taking an exclusive look at horror movie dolls. What is it about dolls, ventriloquist dummies and mannequins that scare us? The fear of non-human but human-like things is called automatonophobia. Perhaps the unblinking, soulless eyes are unnerving. In a dark room, dolls can be mistaken for a lurking figure. Dolls can even be made to resemble a particular person, which often hits that uncomfortable spot in the uncanny valley. Whatever the case may be, scary dolls aren't about to stop appearing in horror films anytime soon, especially this year with movies like Annabelle Comes Home, the Child's Play reboot and Brahms: The Boy II. If you love niche horror and you're interested in delving into other creepy doll horror movies, we collected some of the most unsettling automatons in the movies for you.
