So do you like the new colors? That Orange theme was getting old! Then again, I should have kept it until Halloween was over. Too late, Blue is in and Orange is out.

Well, tomorrow is Halloween. I hope you're ready. What are you going to be? What candy are you giving out? Here's a few videos to celebrate this frightful holiday!

But first, The News!

What happened to the OfficialTwilightFilm channel??? According to YouTube, "This account is SUSPENDED!" Is this some Halloween trick or some sort of publicity stunt for the upcoming New Moon movie? This was the official channel for Summit Entertainment - worldwide theatrical motion picture development, financing, production and distribution studio. They are producing the Twilight Saga movies. There's no news of this on their website. This just happened today. Eventually, there should be news of what happened. Check here on the Twilight News Feed.


What are you doing AFTER Halloween? How about writing a novel? That's what HayleyGHoover is doing this November, which is National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel in one month, and she's done it twice already! Watch the vid and see if you have what it takes to meet this creative challenge.


Did you see the streaming Live U2 concert on YouTube last weekend? I did, and it was pretty cool! According to this news story, "YouTube's webcast of a U2 concert was watched by nearly 10 million people, the video site's largest streaming event ever... The full 2 1/2-hour concert is available on YouTube. The rebroadcast video has been watched by more than 1.1 million viewers."


Nadine Sykora (Naders07) is spending today, her Birthday, at a fundraising event for animals. Click the pic at the left to watch the video for more info, including links. Thanks to Nadine for promoting the SPCA and the work they do to rescue animals, and Happy Birthday!


Okay, now let's watch some Halloween Videos!


Everyone knows that VenetianPrincess is YouTube's Halloween Queen! She loves this holiday and transforms her house with elaborate decorations every year. You can see some of her scary props in this video, as well as her dog in a bumblebee outfit! VP asks in the video, "What are you going to be for Halloween?" See the answers in the comments and video responses, and add your own reply!





Raz0rsex does a Public Service Anouncement to educate the candy giving public on how to select the proper Halloween treat. "Quality over Quantity," she says! What's the worst thing you ever got for Halloween? What's your favorite candy bar? Lately, mine is Twix with Snickers a close second. I'm giving out Twix this year. I have more than enough, which means I get plenty of leftovers!





OlgaKay has made a mini Horror Movie for Halloween! Watch as Olga nearly dies in a T-bone car crash, then gets her throat slashed, yikes! But fear not, Olga gets revenge using her Martial Arts skills. Go Olga! Be sure to answer the question she poses at the end of the show - How would you like to die in a Horror Movie?





You may have thought that vampires only think about getting their next blood fix. But apparently, some have a love of Flute playing! NinaFlute, A.k.a. Vampina, gives us a flute lesson for fanged ones. Nina always looks good, but this Goth get-up really seems to suit her! Enjoy!





Finally, watch what happens when two doggies make their own Halloween costumes and head out for some Trick or Treating Fun! Be safe this Halloween. Have fun, don't be too mean with your pranks, and be sure not to eat all your candy in one day!
