The Best Costumes From ‘HallowMeme 2012′
Halloween may be next week, but Brooklyn's 'Hallowmeme' party got the costumed fun started early. The fourth annual event, put on by the folks at Forced Meme Productions, gives people the chance to dress up like their favorite internet sensations. There were lots of McKayla Maroneys and Psys, but people also repped some less-popular memes as well. Skull Trumpet and High Expectations Asian Father both made appearances, and of course there was a 'Gangnam Style' dance-off and plenty of Honey Boo Boos. Here is all that, plus our personal faves.

Will Ferrell Advertises Beer, Dubstep in Sweden

Horses, Bayonets and More of the Best Memes From Last Night’s Debate
While it’s no “binders full of women,” Obama got off a pretty good zinger during last night’s presidential debate when he told Romney that in addition to fewer ships, our military also has fewer horses and bayonets.

‘Charlie Bit My Finger’ Kids Surface in Ragu Commercial
It’s been a good year for the ‘Charlie Bit My Finger’ kids. First they got their own show, and now they’ve starred in a commercial for Ragu. We were kind of hoping it turned out pasta sauce was why Charlie tried to eat his brother’s hand. Turns out, their online success just depresses them both so badly they have to drown their sorrows in spaghetti. Either way, it’s still pretty funny.

Brave Man Demonstrates Rooftop Parkour Skills
Warning: this video of a man scaling buildings and running from rooftop to rooftop in Cambridge, England is not for the faint of heart or stomach. The film was shot with a helmet cam, and gives a first person P.O.V. of what it would be like to run from building to building. Turns out, it’s slightly nauseating. Thanks for doing it for us, Brave Anonymous Internet Man. We certainly wouldn’t do it ourselves.

The Best Nostalgic Halloween Songs
We’re really getting into the Halloween spirit here at TheFW. It’s nothing new — it’s always been one of our favorite holidays (right after Arbor Day). So, while we enjoying settling down with a good (bad) scary movie, sometimes we wax a little nostalgic. These are the songs from our childhood that really get us in the mood for trick or treating, which we’re apparently too “old” to do anymore, unless our plan to dress up like a scary six-year-old finally works. Check them out, and let us know if we missed one of your favorites.
