Trick-or-Treating the Web II: 30 More Links to Halloween 2013


October 15, 2013 — Man, I cannot believe it's already time for the second installment of this Trick-or-Treating the Web stuff. I do two of these posts every year. The first one's always in September, and it feels like filling up an hourglass. The second, in October, like rapidly emptying it.

So instead of just leisurely skimming through the links like in the last Trick-or-Treating the Web, casually bolstering your Halloween spirit click by click, now you need to machine-gun these links, stuffing every bit of Halloween you can into the rest of the season like compressing a popcorn ball down into a denser mass.

Because before we know it, we'll be wearing Pilgrim hats instead of spooky masks.
