HA! This was inevitable, every time injustice is made, heroes have to appear from the crowd.
Check out these galleries of pictures taken of Wall Street protesters during the Halloween 2011 season.
So why the superhero costumes?
"To celebrate the heroism of everyday people who just try to survive in the economy."
"appalling" is the right word. "Disgusting" is another one. Shame on these firm and employees for participating in the tasteless mockery.

Yes, of course!
So let's say that Sheen has stricken a similar deal*. You go out and buy a Sheen mask ($12.95), fedora ($14.95), wig ($9.50). Hypothetically, Sheen would earn $1.87.
*Zooey Deschanel sued Steve Madden and received a settlement
If you are a Dexter fan, you'll love this! Get that: you can make lollipops of Dexter's blood slides (which he keeps secretly in his AC unit from each of his victims) for your Halloween party!

We love to post funny related Halloween stuff once in a while!
Nightmares Fear Factory is a haunted house in Niagara Falls, Canada.
Daily "FEAR pics of actual 'survivors'" are taken everyday and posted online.
Something Awful altered these pictures and make them a LOT funnier:
Remember the Rick Springfield goldmine, a photo album stocked with the sort of people who would pay money to be on a boat with Rick Springfield in 2009? Well, this is kinda like that, except it documents the exact moment at Fear Factory concerts when Burton Bell starts rapping during "Edgecrusher"!
All the original pictures from Nightmares Fear Factory are on Flickr.
This is as funny as it gets, but you just need to see by yourself!
Wow, watch out if you bought or are thinking of buying a light up costume.
Watch the video.
Check out 8 videos from Michaels.com which cover:
1.Zombie Steve Jobs Why It Won't Work: Yes, this one is in poor taste. You're sure to hear "Too Soon!" and get baited into an argument with the nearest pro-business, capitalist Apple fan boy.
2.Occupy Wall Street Protester Why It Won't Work: Much has been made of the diversity of the movement, which could work in your favor. Still, it's a bit too, um, serious to really pull off. Plus, the moment you knock over the punch bowl with your "WE ARE THE 99 PERCENT" sign, you've killed any chance of making new friends.
3.Nude Scarlett Johansson Why It Won't Work: There are two options for this one: Go naked (depending on the party, you may be the big hit) or in a flesh colored body suit and do that pose.
4.Member of a Mexican Drug Cartel Why It Won't Work: It's not really a costume. The only way this could work is if you carry around a decapitated head, then explain that it's the local sheriff.
5.A Lysteria Covered Cantaloupe Why It Won't Work: Dressing as a melon of any sort for Halloween is typically a great idea (think of the jokes!) but having to explain that you're not just a cantaloupe, but you are a poison cantaloupe, seems like a bit of a stretch. And no one will want to touch you, leaving you the lonely cantaloupe person in the corner.

Seriously! That's quite the corn maze!

"When you're carving, stabilize the pumpkin by holding the top and pointing the blade down as you saw," ... "Be careful not to put your hand inside the pumpkin when you're cutting."
Happy carving!
Alex Wer is an artists and a pumpkin carving master and known for his celebrity pumpkin carvings:
My name is Alex Wer and I started this "Orange Empire" about 2 years ago on accident. My wife asked me to carve a pumpkin for her office Open House. I've always enjoyed carving pumpkins so I thought it would be fun. Since it was a few weeks until Halloween, my options were to carve a real pumpkin and have it die within a week, or try my hand at craft pumpkins which would last forever (I know, I haven't "lived forever" yet, so how do I really know?). It was a simple logo and script and was a big hit at the Open House. Soon I had about 35 orders for business logos and even children's portraits! Not even knowing WHAT I was doing, The Pumpkin Geek was born!!!!
In honor of Steve Jobs, he carved this amazing pumpkin:
This carve was done as a tribute to a man who changed the face of animation & technology. It has been sent as a gift to Apple Headquarters out of respect, admiration & condolences to all those who surrounded him...
An employee of London Dungeon whose main task is to scare visitors at the attraction has had to step back from his 'acting' role - because he is terrified of Halloween. Frankie Spires, 26, suffers from Samhainophobia - a rare condition which leaves people with a deep-seated fear of October 31. The affliction left Mr Spires, from Bromley, Kent, breaking out in cold sweats and with nausea in the days leading up to Halloween last year.
Yuk, this stinks! He is lucky to work with a very understanding management: they were figured something out and now assign Frankie duties away from the Halloween displays.
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) -– The case of the missing “Quakals” duck suit has been cracked. Someone saw the CBS13 report mentioning a $1,000 reward for any information leading to the return of the duck costume for the mascot at the Quick Quack Car Wash business and returned the costume, CBS13′s Tony Lopez reports. The owners of the Quick Quack Car Wash businesses say someone took the “Quakals the Duck” costume from a white minivan parked in downtown Sacramento on Front Street on Saturday night around 6. A police report was filed.
The case has been cracked! We love when mascot costumes make the news!

Wow it's like if we were watching an actual super hero movie! But it ain't your average super hero...
Seattle's masked superhero crime fighter "Phoenix Jones" is now fighting an assault charge for allegedly spraying pepper spray on people who he claims were fighting. Seattle police claim the people were dancing.
Maybe people dance like the fight or fight like they dance in Seattle, which would explain how Super Hero Phoenix Jones got confused on the matter...
Will the Phoenix Jones costume idea a popular one this Halloween... in Seattle? We are certain the Seattle Police Department hopes not!

As this article states "Decorative Halloween contact lenses can permanently damage eyes if not properly fitted", read more below...
With Halloween approaching, the American Optometric Association (AOA) and the Indiana Optometric Association (IOA) are warning consumers about the risks of wearing decorative contact lenses without a prescription from an eye doctor. These non-corrective lenses, which are designed only to change the appearance of the eyes, are easily accessible to consumers and are especially popular around Halloween.
Federal law requires the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate decorative lenses as a medical device, similar to corrective lenses; however, decorative lenses continue to be illegally marketed and distributed directly to consumers through a variety of sources including flea markets, the Internet, beauty salons and convenience stores.
Don't damage your eyes just to look good for a Halloween party!
