All Saints Eve

Happy Halloween to all and though this isn't a holiday that I celebrate to the nines, I did enjoy surfing the Internet today and finding many photos presented by newspapers.

Boston.com links to ExploreNewEngland.com, which has full coverage of Halloween, including photos of readers' costumes, which are a must-see. The site has pictures, maps of haunted spots, a guide to Salem, which includes a photo gallery, message boards, and even blogs! Be sure to click on the link that leads to the audio slideshow of the Globe's inside look at Myths & Monsters, a haunted house in Salem, Mass. All in all, it's quite comprehensive for a site on Halloween.

Boston is not the only city getting into the festive mood either. Have a look at the Miami Herald's Photos of the Day, where Halloween is the theme. I especially enjoy the shot of Governor Jeb Bush, though he probably didn't make that face merely for the holiday.

NOLA.com presents Haunted New Orleans where everything is covered from vampire sightings to voodoo. Be sure to see the photos of people in their costumes and photos taken by readers themselves.

Lastly, the New York Times gave us a slideshow of Halloween Across the World. The best shot there in my opinion was the one of the little girl in the penguin costume...standing next to a penguin.
