There are about a billion comics/Halloween photos up on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere, but we’ll just steal two.

In trends, we noticed that ORIGINAL STAR TREK costumes far, far, far outnumbered STAR WARS costumes, a demographic shift showing that this year’s movie definitely did the job of making TREK cool and fun again.

Okay it’s not a comics, but nothing has influenced the imagery of Halloween more than James Whale’s classic, so let’s give it up for the king.

And with that, we’re off to Trick or Treat

Cartoonist/teacher Nick Bertozzi illustrates an article about a haunted house.

John Rozum, writer of such spooky things as MIDNIGHT, MASS., SCOOBY DOO and XOMBI, has been doing his OWN 31 Days of Halloween. Here’s one of his collage illustrations.

BONUS! The great underground/alternative artist is interviewed by Bill Baker about his Haunt of Horror project for Marvel, which adapts Poe and Lovecraft.

I feel that much of Poe’s works deals directly with that most basic of all human feelings, fear, and its more extreme state, horror. He speaks directly to me because I am a very fearful guy. And he expresses these feelings in an artful way, which to me makes them more palatable. Lovecraft also deals with fear and horror but in a very different way. Poe gets close to his characters, even inside them. The fears that Lovecraft deals with are usually strange, alien, even cosmic, definitely from the outside.
