There's a really cool flickr photo set of masks. you read right - masks. In fact the one to the left is one of them.

But there's not just masks, there is also other sorts of appendages, like hands to help complement the mask.


They run from the more traditional, like Franenstein to aliens, zombies and even Jason from Halloween.

So if you are stuck on a Halloween idea, remember to bookmark the photoset and check back for ideas.

Personally, the one on the left is my favorite.  That's why I put it here :)

The fun's not over yet. Today is The Day of the Dead (Día de los Difuntos or Día de los Muertos in Spanish). According to the info pimps over at Wikipedia it is a holiday celebrated mainly in Mexico and the Mexican immigrant community living in the United States, with variations of it also observed in other Latin American countries and other parts of the world. The Mexican celebration occurs on November 1 (All Saints' Day) and November 2 (All Souls' Day).

Though the subject matter may be considered morbid from the perspective of some other cultures, celebrants typically approach the Day of the Dead joyfully, and though it occurs roughly at the same time as Halloween, All Saints' Day and All Souls Day, the traditional mood is much brighter with emphasis on celebrating and honoring the lives of the deceased, and celebrating the continuation of life; the belief is not that death is the end, but rather the beginning of a new stage in life. In Mexico and Mexican immigrant communities in the United States and Europe, the Day of the Dead is of particular cultural importance.

So leave the costume at home but be sure to visit your loved ones at the graveyard today.
