A great part of Halloween is just how creative you can get. From cozy, fall vibes, to terrifying ghouls and skeletons, decorations and costumes, there is a little bit of something for everyone. But one father and architect [goes above and beyond](https://www.tiktok.com/@parkersaltsman/video/7295563557771660590) every year when he makes massive and creative Halloween Sculptures. This year, he is constructing a truly massive Norwegian-inspired troll to terrorize any who dare step foot in his neighborhood. People from all over the internet shared their thoughts and admiration for this deeply impressive work.

In Japan, some people are taking Halloween costumes in a wonderfully unexpected direction by dressing up as completely mundane things and everyday situations. From painfully relatable moments to outfits that are so ordinary they become hilarious, these costumes prove that you don’t need elaborate makeup, fake blood, or a terrifying mask to stand out. #Halloween #FunnyCostumes #Japan #JapaneseHalloween #HalloweenCostumes Most of us step over stones without a second glance. Akie Nakata picks them up, turns them over in her hands, and waits to see who's inside. The self-taught Japanese artist, known online as Stone Artist Akie, has been collecting stones since childhood, but her painting career began in 2011, when a pebble she spotted on a riverbank looked remarkably like a rabbit. The process starts long before the first brushstroke. Akie gathers stones along the riverbanks of Saitama, northwest of Tokyo, and never reshapes them. The artist paints the animal that she feels is inside the stone, following its natural curves and ridges as if they were a backbone. Working only with acrylic gouache and tiny brushes, without any pens, the artist adds eyes, noses, and fur so convincingly that the finished pieces look like real animals curled up in someone's palm. They're famously hard to get, too: pieces listed for sale on her Facebook page have been known to sell out within a minute.

With the school dance drawing ever nearer, the 18-year-old singleton from The States still hadn’t found a girl to take. So instead of going alone or refusing the Prom night at all, he did what any rational and sound-minded person would do in such a situation. He took Ruby, his adorable cat. Ok, so he didn’t take his cute cat to the actual dance (as it might have been too stressful for her), but he did at least pose for some prom photos with her. Sam’s sister Caroline brought the picture to the world’s attention by posting the snap of the happy couple on Imgur (I’m sure Sam appreciated that!) and Sam and Ruby have since become unlikely internet superstars. They might not have gone to a date night together, but they still make a pretty cute couple! #Cats #Animal #Prom Photographer Marcel Heijnen captures street cats making themselves at home wherever they please, from shops and storefronts to random corners of the city.

His work is a reminder that sometimes, the simplest moments tell the most powerful stories.

Instead of spending eternity haunting humans, these spooky residents deal with crowded living spaces, awkward conversations, strange supernatural situations, and the occasional existential crisis.
