Halloween 2009 is sure to bring out some of the best in creative costuming: Lady Gagas, John and Kates, Octomoms, vampires (the Twilight version, of course) and much more. Whether you’re looking for ways to entertain your little ghosts and goblins or instead are seeking out the season’s hottest party, we’ve laid out the year’s best spooky and scary events for all ages.

Some people enjoy Halloween for the pumpkin picking and costumes, while others really enjoy the spookiness of this holiday. If you are one of those people seeking a good scare be sure to check out these top Valley haunted houses.

Halloween is just a couple of weeks away and this year it’s on a Saturday, meaning that party-hopping will be in full effect. Make sure your costume is a winner this year. Last year, everyone pretended to be Sarah Palin, and this year, we are sure there will be a bunch of Obama masks trick-or-treating, but if you head to these shops, you’ll find a far more original costume that will steal the Halloween show and maybe score you a “best costume” award or two.

As we move through the month of October, many of us are looking for the best Halloween costumes, stringing fake spider webs across windows and blissfully watching the temperature forecast drop below 100 degrees. It is a month full of ghouls and goblins, wizards and witches, dressed in their finest orange and black attire. However, women will notice two other color trends this October in ribbons of pink and purple, symbolizing Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Domestic Abuse Awareness Month.
