You, however, never disappoint. And the internet is chock-full of thousands upon thousands of fab Halloween ideas. So, I thought I'd condense it and share my favs. Peruse. Bookmark for later.
If you don't celebrate Halloween, I hope you will find something here that strikes your fancy. I'm confident that my friend Simoney from New Zealand (@ Great Fun for Kids) will. She is the queen of themed parties.

Plus, you should stop by...
Hostess with the Mostess (HWTM). Several fun Halloween treat ideas.
Blonde Designs is a fresh blog with tons of great ideas. Their Halloween treats come from Martha Stewart.
And of course there is TONS more inspiration from the big names. Click to get complete Halloween lists.
Epicurious (see spiderweb cookies above)
Taste of Home. I love the meringue bones.
Betty Crocker. Tons of great ones. I like the spooky spider cookies or the cobweb cookies best.
Family Fun. The Scrumptios Skeletons look fun.
Bakerella. I did these cupcakes last year. It ties in well with the lemony snickets theme, as I was unable to find the black rope licorice and ended up having to cut regular licorice in sixths lengthwise for 50 cupcakes (for a grand total of 300 legs). I call them my tarantulas. You can read more about them here.
And we can't forget good old Martha. The Halloween Whoopie Pies in this month's edition look rather tasty. Blonde Designs above also showcase some of their Martha favs.
And I haven't forgotten about the big reveal. Remember last week's Grape-Lemonade Ghost Ice Pops attempt (from none other than Martha)? Well...
The directions said to give it 3 hours to 1 week (quite the gap??). I gave it 3 days and it STILL wasn't done. Hmm... and this is how they looked.
