Even if you're not dressing up in costume this Halloween, you can still get in the spirit of the holiday. Trick out your computer with some creepy skins and plugins or treat yourself to a few ghoulish movies and desktop themes.
KDE-Look has plenty of scary, silly, and spooky Halloween themes for your desktop. Choose from a variety of pumpkins, skulls, ghosts, and even a Trick or Treating Pacman.
GNOME-Look also has a few Halloween themes to choose from. From dressed-up scarecrows to cinematic scary guy Michael Myers, you're sure to find something you like at this site.
Don't forget to skin your Firefox browser. Use these themes to turn your toolbar icons into witches, pumpkins, and more.
Trick out your WordPress blog with haunted houses, witches, a cauldron, and a pumpkin ready for its close-up--just a few of the designs available.
When the trick-or-treaters tuck in for the night, catch a free horror flick from Internet Archives. Stream movies right from the site or use the free VLC media player to watch films like the 1968 zombie classic "Night of the Living Dead," Alfred Hitchcock's "The 39 Steps," or the Bela Lugosi fright-flick "Scared to Death." You can also download some spooky ghost and monster noises to play in the background and ratchet up the fear factor to 10.Â
