If you enjoy being frightened while you eat, you can have dinner at the Haunted Cafe in Louisville, Kentucky (if it's still around).  In New York City, try the Jekyll and Hyde Club on Avenue of the Americas (not to be confused with the Jekyll and Hyde Restaurant and Bar in Greenwich Village). 

The folks at the Ectoplasm Cafe take their ghosts more seriously--it's not the kind of cafe where you go to eat, but an online meeting place for believers in the supernatural.  They, like the person who took the picture at the top of this page, use their digital and conventional cameras to gather evidence of the spooky spirits and the web to share their discoveries.  I could go on, but you will have more fun following the links below.  Boo.

International Ghost Hunters Society.  What better way to celebrate Halloween than to visit this site?  It claims over 8,000 photos of ghosts, ghost tales, ghost clubs, a haunted bed-and-breakfast inn (so mysterious that the page came up blank on my browser), ghost videos for sale, and "the most comprehensive" home study course about ghosts available anywhere.

Industrial Fright and Magic's high tech haunted house.  It's in Sacramento, CA, but you can visit it on the web.  Better yet, read the story on techTV to learn how it is done.  (It runs off four Win98 workstations and a some Visual Basic scareware.)

Me on a Pumpkin.  Make a scary jack-o-lantern with your own face with this downloadable program ($19.95).

"Halloween is Even Scarier on the Net," by Sue Zeidler (Oct. 25, 2000).  Some of 1999's haunting innovations.  (from biz.Yahoo)

"Halloween spawns high-tech hijinks," by Donna Hartings (Rancho Bernardo [CA] News Journal).  1997 news story about two techies who built a robot to meet trick-or-treaters at the door.

Direct from New York, "The Greenwich Village Halloween Parade."  Everything you might expect from a Halloween parade organized by village people. 

Ben and Jerry's Halloween.  Free stuff and games from the famous ice cream makers.  Their flavors of the month are "Dead & Buried's and Frozen Ogres." (Are they for real??)

Pop Culture Madness.  Halloween music and assorted other stuff.

HauntWorld--a directory to haunted houses and the "haunted attraction industry." (Seriously, that's what it's called.)  Check out the used haunting products for sale pages.

Bewitched--not scary, but some very cool graphics.  When you were little, did the wallpaper in your room seem to move as you were lying in bed at night?  This pattern really does.
