We shouldn’t ask art to be emblematic of the #MeToo movement, but sometimes its makers tell us that it is, regardless. Case in point: Those involved in the new Halloween have linked the film’s sensibilities to the current moment. In a recent interview, Jamie Lee Curtis, who is once again donning the role of Laurie…
Growing up the Halloween issue of Martha Stewart Living would always make its way to me. As a small, rising goth child, I lived for the insanely detailed, over-the-top DIYs Martha would cook up for readers. Never thought of having a Halloween dinner party? Well, Martha has, and she has the perfect balloon centerpiece…
I arrive at Six Flags Great Adventure, in Jackson, N.J., one extremely hot October day, already a scary human version of myself: I’m slightly hungover, the smell of a sausage, egg, and cheese bodega bagel on my breath, and the internal darkness of someone who just witnessed, through tears, Brett Kavanaugh get…
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHAT THE FUCK. PLEASE WATCH THIS ANIMATED SCARY STORY VIDEO WE MADE USING A SCARY STORY SUBMITTED BY JEZEBEL COMMENTER CHAOTICEVA, ONE OF THE WINNERS OF LAST YEAR’S SCARY STORY CONTEST.

Waking life can be a nightmare, this much we know, and in the spirit of that, we kick off Jezebel’s favorite time of year: Our annual scary stories contest, in search of YOUR most terrifying and fucked up real-life stories. Past years’ winners have made me literally afraid to sleep in my own house for weeks on end.…
On Tuesday the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, known for its amusing homemade Twitter memes which I can never quite tell are accidentally goofy or sort of designed that way on purpose, gave a stern warning: beware of “pumpkin lacerations.”
It’s October 1, and you know what that means—if you don’t have your Halloween costume and party plans already finalized, you’re fucked, kiddo.
After a mere half-day of internet outrage, Yandy has pulled a look from its online store that, while technically titled “Brave Red Maven Costume,” can only accurately be described as “Sexy Handmaid’s Tale Costume” in my book. People apparently were mad that an outfit used to depict a subordinate class of women in…
Here are some confusing things about the upcoming Halloween movie:
In the wake of her recent split from boyfriend of 10 months The Weeknd, Selena Gomez has done what any female inspiration would: keep her ex’s coziest jacket and go around everywhere with a huge grin on her face.
Donald Trump Jr., boy prince of trolling us all with his inner ugliness and outer flannel, has begun his familial Halloween celebrations by dressing his daughter as a cop and pretending to know what socialism is.
It may be true that Selena Gomez and The Weeknd’s very recent breakup had nothing to do with Justin Bieber. It may also be true that this is Justin Bieber’s opportunity to present himself as a new man. And not just cause it’s Halloween and he’s a man.
Halloween is a joy to children and adults alike because eating candy and dressing in costumes—unlike us—never gets old. Now’s your chance to show off your creativity. Share your costume in the comments below (or if you dressed up your kids and pets, that works too) and win a prize.*
Are you looking for a harrowing supernatural thriller to watch this Halloween night? Look elsewhere. Are you hunting a heartwarming tale about a loving family that never fails to support one another? Then you should know that both The Addams Family and Addams Family Values are available to watch on Hulu.
It’s been Halloween for what feels like two to three months now. You may be over it, but these celebrity costumes will put the spooky spirit back in you.
When Halloween falls on a weekday as ungracious and rude as a Tuesday, all you really want to do is eat candy corn and fun-sized Snickers in your cubicle and go home. Chances are someone at work will show up in cat ears or dressed like Shrek, and you’ll have to go to a costume contest at lunch, where someone will hand…
Welcome to Megyn Kelly Today, Today, a daily column in which we will share the most memorable things that happened on Megyn Kelly Today every morning until we are no longer able to watch Megyn Kelly Today without feeling like there will be no tomorrow.
It’s not much of an exaggeration to say that every day for the past 356 days has been nothing short of a waking nightmare. The thought of ghosts and ghouls used to keep me up at night; now, a poltergeist could sit directly on my face and I doubt I’d even flinch. My clothes could fly around my room of their own accord,…
