Halloween Countdown 2010 Day 23: Universal Monster Army

Universal Monster Army is a forum where classic monster fans can gather. You can find discussion about collecting monsters, cinematic creeps, headlines and happenings, cons of a monstrous kind, and monsters bought and sold. I spent a few hours last night just reading a few posts and drooling over the wonderful pictures that other monster fans shared.

YoVille is another Facebook game that is getting into the spirit of Halloween. Not only can you do spooky jobs and decorate your house with eerie items, you can also dress up as superheroes. Bird Boy is obviously Batman, Bird Wingman is Robin and Metal Man is Iron Man:
