You know what time it is – when pics of hilarious Halloween costumes start to roll in. And some of the best moments are realizing that celebrities can be fans, too.
These 12 famous people love other famous people so much that they decided to dress as them for Halloween, and if you ask me, there’s no better way to tip your hat to a colleague.
If you’ve spent time watching the American version of The Office, you know that Toby Flenderson is always the whipping boy. Michael Scott, the mediocre bossman, can’t stand the sight of Toby and lets him know every chance he gets that he’d prefer Toby quit his job and not show his face around the office any longer.
So it makes perfect sense that in the Clue The Office board game, players are tasked with finding out who killed poor Toby, where the murder took place, and what weapon was used.
In the game, you can play as one of six characters: Jim Halpert, Pam Beesly, Dwight Schrute, Angela Martin, Stanley Hudson, or Andy Bernard. You can’t play as Michael Scott because, as you might have guessed, he will be doing everything he can to get in the way of your investigation. The mystery will take you throughout the Dundler-Mifflin universe, including such spots as the warehouse, the kitchen, Michael’s office, and the employee parking lot.
It looks like the board game is currently out of stock on the Hot Topic website, but keep an eye on that link if you want a chance at scoring one. It may even be worth it to venture to *GASP* your local shopping mall to see if they have one of these babies in stock because they’re going for $200 on Amazon.
This would make a great gift for the holidays though, wouldn’t it? We all know how many people out there are obsessed with The Office, so get busy hunting for one of these ASAP. Got it? Good!
I wonder if My Chemical Romance realizes the state of mind they put us emos in.

You probably know at least a couple of people in your life who are adopted. It could be friends, family members, co-workers – anyone really.
There’s also a good chance that you know people who are adopted, but you don’t know it because they haven’t told you. Every adopted person is on their own journey and they can choose to divulge that information if and when they see fit.
Here are 20 celebrities that you might not know were adopted, and you might be a little bit surprised.
Even though Keanu Reeves started off his movie career playing roles as lovable goofballs and slackers (Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Parenthood, etc.), he’s actually a pretty deep and introspective person who seems to have a unique outlook on life.
And has this guy had a career resurgence, or what? Reeves is more popular than ever right now due to the success of the John Wick movies, and it’s been announced that there are new Bill & Ted and The Matrix movies in the works.
But back to the man himself, the real-life Keanu Reeves. Let’s take a look at 20 quotes from Reeves, who is, by all accounts, extremely generous and humble in his everyday life.
1. “Every struggle in your life has shaped you into the person you are today. Be thankful for the hard times, they can only make you stronger.”
2. “Sometimes we get so caught up in our daily lives that we forget to take the time out to enjoy the beauty in life. It’s like we’re zombies. Look up and take your headphones out. Say “Hi” to someone you see and maybe give a hug to someone who looks like they’re hurting.”
3. “The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.”
4. “If you can make a woman laugh, you’re seeing the most beautiful thing on God’s Earth.”
16. “If you have been brutally broken, but still have the courage to be gentle to other living beings, then you’re a badass with the heart of an angel.”
17. “Our dreams can teach us, instruct us, confuse us, sometimes I think they look to be considered. They are an opportunity and I think they most certainly could be utilized to focus, to try and achieve — whether it’s looking for someone, or influencing us, or inspiring us.”
18. “Multi-culture is the real culture of the world — a pure race doesn’t exist.”
19. “The person who was holding me back from my happiness was me.”
20. “None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an afterthought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean.”
Just when you thought Bill Murray couldn’t get any cooler…
The man is full of surprises, isn’t he? But before we get into this amazing story, let’s do a quick review of the 69-year-old actor’s great films: Stripes, Meatballs, Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, What About Bob?
The list never ends…
But back to the big story. On a recent episode of Amy Schumer’s podcast 3 Girls, 1 Keith, Murray was asked what job he’d like to do besides acting. He said, “I did fill out an application at P.F. Chang’s at the Atlanta airport, because I think that’s one of the great places. It looks like the best time.”
Of course, Murray’s comments went viral and the restaurant chain itself responded to the story. Looks like he has a job waiting for him if he wants it!
On the same podcast, Murray also admitted his love for Family Feud. He said, “I’m going to give you my little secret — I record it. I can come home and I have recorded 61 episodes of ‘Family Feud,’ because it’s on all day long. It’s on all day long and by law it has to be on all day long. But then, what I do is I take the time to fast forward in each episode all the way to Fast Money. Cause that to me is the excitement part of the show. I skip the early rounds because I don’t always respect their tactics.”
The 2010s are almost in the history books and we get to start a new decade very son. So what will be the legacy of the past ten years?
No, I’m not talking about politics or big news events, I’m talking about HORROR MOVIES. People always talk about the classics from the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, but the 2010s haven’t exactly been a slouch when it comes to scary movies.
Here are 20 that you might want to check out to get a good scare.
“I had to sleep with my closet light on for a week after watching this movie!”
2. The Babadook (2014)
“At first you think it’s just another haunting by an evil supernatural being but it actually has a deeper real-world meaning that addresses mental health and the impact it can have on you and those around you.”
3. Sinister (2012)
“I legit had to pause in the INTRODUCTION scene, where the family is being hung from a tree in slow motion, because I was already overcome with anxiety.”
4. Get Out (2017)
“Horror movies don’t really scare me, so for me they are mostly meh. Sometimes there are gems with a great atmosphere like Midsommar, but Get Out was the first horror movie that gave me chills. And it’s an Oscar winner as well.”
5. Hereditary (2018)
“Toni Collette’s scream when seeing her daughter made me wish that there was an Oscar category for best scream. It’s that good and terrifying! I had to stop the movie after that scene before I could go on.”
6. The Conjuring (2013)
“The first one terrified me so badly I couldn’t walk down the hall to my bedroom. Slept downstairs for MONTHS. I can’t even explain what it was but it was so unsettling it caused me anxiety and paranoia for a very long time. Jump scares don’t normally do that much to me but man…. I was just a wreck.”
7. Mama (2013)
“I feel like not enough people talk about how scary Mama was. I saw that movie when I was 25 and still had to sleep with the lights on for a week.”
8. Hush (2016)
“Hush is one of the best stalker movies I’ve seen in a long time. I thought it was going to be one of those typical slasher films but it turned out to be a really intense game of cat and mouse.”
9. Insidious (2010)
“It truly packs a punch when it comes to scare factor on the first viewing. The concept was fresh and truly terrifying. Just a great ride overall.”
10. Last Shift (2014)
“Last Shift is the scariest f$&@ing movie I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen everything known to man. Lights were ON for a while at bedtime that night.”
11. Train to Busan (2016)
“Train to Busan was the best zombie movie I have seen in a long time. As someone who travels on the train often the thought of getting stuck on a train full of zombies is terrifying. The pacing was brilliant and the characters were really well thought out, you care about what happens to the characters. I have loved Gong Yoo ever since I saw him in Goblin and this was on my bucket list and it definitely did not disappoint.”
12. The Blackcoat’s Daughter (2015)
“The Blackcoat’s Daughter was terrifying. The twist ending wasn’t hard to see coming, but the slow boil up to that point created a sense of dread that made me petrified to see what was about to happen.”
13. The Witch (2015)
“It was the type of movie that sits in your mind, plays tricks on you for weeks, unsettles you for longer. I saw it months ago and it still knocks me off kilter when I think of it.”
14. Oculus (2013)
“Oculus is phenomenal! I love horror but I don’t spook easily. This one makes you question what you’re even watching and where it falls in the timeline. It definitely had me jump but it leans more on psychological horror than jump scares.”
15. Creep (2014)
“I’m a horror fanatic and the only horror film that has ever genuinely scared me is The Duplass Brothers’ Creep. Peachfuzz actually gave me nightmares. It’s a found footage film and it’s just two characters (one of whom is hardly ever on screen), but it’s legitimately terrifying.”
16. Shadow People (2012)
“The one that made me have to sleep with the lights on for a WEEK is…Shadow People. Super creepy and way underrated!”
17. Us (2019)
“The film had me at the edge of my seat the whole time but what’s scarier is after you leave the film and really think about all of the hidden meanings and social commentary about the film, it feels far too real and that plot twist at the end is heartbreaking but also makes you question everything.”
18. 1922 (2017)
“1922 was horrifying because the main character can’t escape his murderous act no matter what he does, and everything in his life falls apart.”
19. The Invitation (2015)
“The Invitation was soooooooo unsettling. You have no idea if the protagonist really is just paranoid or if there’s something truly sinister going on. The last 15 minutes scared the crap out of me.”
20. Bone Tomahawk (2015)
“Scarier than anything else in these comments by far. I love scary movies but this one fucked me up.”
What are some of your own favorite horror films from the 2010s?
Halloween and scary movies don’t have to be all about blood, guts, and gore, right?
RIGHT!
We need to leave some room for the kids to have a good time and get all creeped out this Halloween season, too. Well, we’re all in luck!
Here are 12 movies that are spooky, but not too spooky. They’re creepy, but not too creepy. You get my drift: they’re Halloween movies that are kid-friendly.
So before you send your kids out the door to trick or treat, they can enjoy these movies to get in the Halloween spirit.
Bonus: some of these are on Netflix so you don’t have to go very far!
1. A Witch’s Ball
It’s tough out there for a young witch, isn’t it? Beatrix’s chances of being inducted into the ranks of witches becomes jeopardized and she relies on her best friend, a rat, to help her out.
2. R.L. Stine’s Mostly Ghostly
Is R.L. Stine the best, or what? If you’re familiar with his Goosebumps series, then you’ll love this movie.
3. All Hallows Eve
Eve is a teenage witch who just turned Sweet 16, and she accidentally summons an ancestor who might be up to no good. Uh oh!
4. Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween
Goosebumps + Halloween + kids who need to save the day = a great recipe.
5. Mickey’s House of Villains
Our beloved Mickey faces off against a whole lot of Disney villains. Don’t mess with Mickey!
6. DreamWorks Spooky Stories
Four short stories that will definitely send chills up your spine (and definitely the kids’!).
7. DreamWorks Spooky Stories 2
Another set of stories that features characters from some of DreamWorks’ most iconic films, including Shrek and Megamind. Spooky and fun!
8. Little Monsters
We’re going all the way back to the 1980s with this one! A very young Fred Savage befriends the monster who lives under his bed. What an adventure!
9. Monster Family
Enjoy the family dynamic of a group of classic movie monsters, including characters similar to Frankenstein, a mummy, a werewolf, and a witch.
10. My Babysitter’s A Vampire
A kid who is a little too old to have a babysitter discovers that the one his parents hired to watch him might not exactly be human.
11. Spookley The Square Pumpkin
Spookley is a different kind of pumpkin…he’s square. But he doesn’t let that get him down and he shows all the other pumpkins that it’s okay to be different.
12. Coraline
I’ve heard some parents say that Coraline is a little too creepy for the young ones, but give it a shot and see how the kiddos react. At least they’ll be interested because visually the film is so fascinating.
What are some of your top Halloween movies that you like to watch with your kids during October?
Elrond: I was there the day the strength of men failed. I told Isildur to return the ring to the fiery chasm from whence it came, and he said, "no". Gandalf: omg what did u do Elrond: he said "no" dude, the point is men are weak and this trilogy isn't my fault
Sam Gamgee did not help Frodo take the ring all the way Mordor to destroy Sauron and save Middle Earth just to be recognized as Bob and Doug https://t.co/2fuWZTTELV
James Holzhauer dominated 10 single-day record totals as he won $2,462,216 over 33 appearances on Jeopardy!
His reign ended only because he used Final Jeopardy to finish with scores referencing his wedding anniversary, his daughter’s birthday and other important dates.
So, how did he do it?
Obviously, he knows a lo-ot of stuff. Outside of an excellent run in high school quiz bowl, he devours children’s books and Jeopardy! episodes. He has an extensive knowledge base covering many subjects…and that’s how you get on the show.
This is absolutely insane. I've always wanted to see someone try Jeopardy! wagering this way who had the skills to back it up. https://t.co/PYj6MDsXjs
According to The Ringer, it was Holzhauer’s speed at buzzer usage that put him on top. He apparently drilled with a homemade buzzer made of a mechanical pencil wrapped in masking tape, while wearing his Jeopardy! shoes in front of the TV.
Fellow record-holder Ken Jennings (74 straight games) said most contestants know the answers (questions, really) to the questions (answers, really), so buzzer speed is what it’s going to take to be the one who gets the money.
Another one of Holzhauer’s strengths was board control. He explained his method in this NPR article. What he would do was always start at the bottom with the highest value clues. Those answers would build up his account fast. After he got past a certain amount, he would start looking for the Daily Doubles. When he found one, he would wager everything he had.
James just passed $1,000,000 in Jeopardy! winnings, so we're launching the official James Tracker! Click here to follow his progress: bit.ly/James-Official-Tracker
Risky? Sure, but he had enough confidence to know that even if he lost everything, he could build it right back up. Such self assurance likely comes from how he makes his living–sports betting. Successful gamblers know they have to bet big to win big. It’s all in the strategy.
As Holzhauer told NPR, “All good professional gamblers are selectively aggressive. You need to pick your spots and bet big when you identify them.”
To him, winning over $2,000,000 is all a game to him. But it’s also work he finds supremely satisfying.
