Halloween goodies on the web, hold the candy corn

It was once considered unconventional to mess with your corporate logo, as if modifying it for a particular event was somehow degrading to your corporate image. But Google's been doing it every holiday (and even Earth Day) for the last ten years or so. Today's Google logo is a spooky-looking house, obviously inspired by Halloween. But Google's not the only online powerhouse celebrating All Hallow's Eve.

Hauntworld.com offers a directory of haunted houses all around the U.S. Like being scared? Get your fright game on at 7floorsofhell.com or Terror Town. Besides a directory of places you can pay to involuntarily pee, Hauntworld has a blog run by scare fans, too.

If you'd rather trick or treat than go to one of those exhibitions, you can still make the most of the web to plot your goody-gathering course. Want to avoid sex offenders? No sweat. Trying to find out where the most frequented neighborhoods are, or where the candy is "full size"? Check out Kidcounter. This site is limited in geography but serves as a model for tracking Treat Distribution online. The site is designed to count the number of trick or treaters an the amount of candy handed out, so next year, you'll know what neighborhoods to plunder, and which to avoid like the plague.
