Countdown To Halloween 2011 Day 9: Rat Traps Gummi Candy

My sister bought a bag of Rat Traps a few weeks ago. The gummi rats are supposed to be gray with pink tail and taste like strawberry. The rat came out looking green due to bad lighting and it does not really have a taste to me. The bag has twenty-five Rat Traps.

Countdown To Halloween 2011 Day 8: Unleash Your Dark Side At The Sims Social

You can now unleash your dark side at The Sims Social, an online game on Facebook since it is Werewolves vs Vampires Week:

Vampire lovers can purchase the double coffin bed for those bizarre sleep overs:

New spooky items to decorate your house with since every haunted house needs a broken mirror and a spooky portrait:

I like this painting of Vlad the Impaler...er, Impressionist but you have to earn it by completing all seven "What Big Teeth You Have" tasks:

You will also find ghosts outside of the house that you can snap pictures of (I actually found two):

While I am not a big fan of The Sims Social (I would rather play SimCity), the ghost hunting makes it a little more interesting to play. Beware that the game has been having connection problems lately so it may not load for you.

Countdown To Halloween 2011 Day 7: Pez Witch

I finally have a Pez witch dispenser thanks to one of the local retail stores finally carrying them. The bottom is the only part that glows in the dark. Would have been cooler if the head or at least the face would also glow. I am torn about keeping it in the package or opening it and playing with it before gobbling all the candy.

Countdown To Halloween 2011 Day 4: Bloody Barnabas Collins

Yes, it looks like the Dark Shadows movie will have some blood if this picture of Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins with a bloody hand is any indication:

Countdown To Halloween 2011 Day 3: FarmVille Halloween Collection

FarmVille has started their Halloween Collection for this year. To be honest, I have not been playing this online game at Facebook much lately since it freezes up after a few minutes.
