We have lots of videos to get you in a Halloween state of mind while you undoubtedly are suffering from a sugar crash after too much office candy. First up, IntoTheBox has a scary New York story with a real estate twist (after all, what's scarier than Manhattan real estate?!) -- travel to Confucius Plaza on Bowery and Canal, here. more ›

Happy Halloween and happy Indian summer! Given our latitudinal constraints it is difficult to imagine us having a much better weather treat for the last day of October. The thermometer should top out around 70 degrees today as southwesterly breezes bring warm air up from the, uh, southwest. There's a slight chance of rain for late tonight, but we don't foresee any rainfall during prime trick-or-treating hours or while the parade is taking place. The warmth and slight chance of rain continues until a weak cold front sweeps through town tomorrow. Thursday is a transition day. Friday and the weekend are likely to be clear and chilly. more ›

One of the best movies to watch around this time is ET, with some Reece's Pieces of course. Above is the trailer, from 1982. Pretty dry, really, we imagine if the trailer was made now it would have an angle more like this one. Ah, trailer spoofs. The best trailer spoof turning a scary movie in to the exact opposite has got to be The Shining one that came out a while ago, watch here if you haven't already. more ›

Happy Halloween! If you missed the Mountain Goats Saturday night at Bowery Ballroom, you've got another chance to catch them tonight at the even cozier Knitting Factory. This show is extra exciting thanks to the packed lineup of not-to-be-missed opening bands. We're talking about Grizzly Bear (read the Gothamist interview) and The Tears & Prayers of Arthur Digby Sellers (as seen in Gothamist Does CMJ). more ›

-Finally if you somehow managed to not set your clock back an hour today, now would be the time to get around to it. more ›
