by Megan Lavey-Heaton (Nov 2nd, 2011)

The San Jose Mercury News has posted a photo gallery of trick or treaters who visited Steve Jobs' Palo Alto home on Halloween, including a very adorable pair of siblings dressed as an iPad and an iPod. The Mercury News said about 50 children and their parents ventured beyond the home's gates ...

by Kelly Guimont (Oct 30th, 2011)

It's the night before All Hallows' Eve, and it's time for the creatures of the dark to make their way to their phones, Skypes and VoIP -- yes, indeed, it's Talkcast time! We won't know if you're wearing a costume (well, we will ask you what you're wearing, but we won't ask for proof) but there's ...

iPad 2 + iPad 2 + fake blood = awesome "hole in torso" costume

by Mike Schramm (Oct 30th, 2011)

We'll have more costumes today and tomorrow, but this one was too good to not share right now. YouTube user onemeeeliondollars has posted video of a costume he apparently made with two iPad 2s that makes it look like you can see clean through his torso. As he says in the video below, you just ...

Halloween costumes inspired by Apple, influenced by Steve Jobs (Updated with costumes)

by Kelly Hodgkins (Oct 30th, 2011)

Halloween celebrations are underway, and it's time to get those costumes out of the closet. We're hoping that some of you are moving beyond the ghost and the witch of your childhood and looking towards Apple for your inspiration. So if you're dressing up as an iPhone, an iPad or some other ...

Apple-themed pumpkin carving for Halloween

by Mike Schramm (Oct 29th, 2011)

The good folks at MacRumors have done us all a favor and rounded up all of the Apple-themed pumpkins they've seen this year so far. Most of them, like the one carved by Sbrocket seen above, have focused on Steve Jobs in some way, which makes sense given that everyone's still thinking about ...

by Mike Schramm (Oct 28th, 2011)

A holiday weekend is upon us, and that means there are sales all over the App Store. Both Sega and Gameloft have already offered up some deals, and here are several more for you to check out on your iPhone or iPad. Polarbit's Reckless Getaway is still free (grab it while it lasts) while ...

Gameloft puts games on sale for Halloween

by Mike Schramm (Oct 26th, 2011)

We've already pointed out Sega's Halloween sales in the App Store and now Gameloft has announced deals of its own: most of its titles are on sale for just 99 cents. Unfortunately the pickings are slim, but a few good titles can be found, including the official Uno app, driving title Asphalt 6, ...

by Mike Schramm (Oct 24th, 2011)

We've seen quite a few holidays this year get bookended by app sales, and it appears that Halloween will be no different. Sega has kicked off the spooky season by putting all of its iOS apps on sale, dropping prices down to as low as 99 cents. Apps on sale (starting tomorrow, and going ...

Spooky fun: iOS apps for Halloween

by Dave Caolo (Oct 21st, 2011)

I love Halloween. As kids we anticipated the night we'd canvas the neighborhood in plastic costumes, visiting house after house. Especially that one crazy lady who dressed as a witch and tried her best to scare us. We had fun, but we didn't have iPhones. Today a slew of digital treats lurk ...

More Angry Birds costumes (and a cake)

by Mike Schramm (Nov 1st, 2010)

As requested, TUAW reader Amy sent us pictures of these homemade costumes designed to look like the characters in Angry Birds. You can browse through all of them in the gallery below -- again, I'm partial to the pig, but that bird looks pretty good as well. Reader Sheldon also dressed up as an ...

Join us for a spooky TUAW Talkcast tonight at 10 PM ET / 7 PM PT

by Steven Sande (Oct 31st, 2010)

While the little Trick or Treaters are out pounding the streets tonight in search of candy and mischief, we'll be scaring you another way -- with the TUAW Talkcast! Remember that you can also listen to past episodes on Talkshoe or subscribe to the Talkcast podcast in iTunes. Why do I think it will ...

Halloween apps bring chills and thrills to iPhone and iPad

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Oct 31st, 2010)

Happy Halloween! Apple has its own Halloween round-up on the App Store here, and I've been rocking most of the same apps I covered a couple of years ago. We've also got a few apps, costumes and interactive books on our Halloween tag page. A search in iTunes for "Halloween" will yield hundreds of ...

Homemade Angry Birds costumes take flight

by Mike Schramm (Oct 30th, 2010)

We've seen Steve Jobs and an iPhone so far, and here come some Angry Birds costumes, from the hit iPhone game. These were all made by crafters (from what looks like fabric, felt, and plastic), and some of them look pretty elaborate. I like the pig costume the best, although dressing yourself in a ...

iPhone apps on sale for Halloween

by Mike Schramm (Oct 29th, 2010)

Happy Halloween weekend! This is my favorite holiday of the year, not only because it's a fun time for parties during my favorite season, but also because it seems to be an excellent time for developers to put a little something special into their apps -- like put them on sale. There are quite a ...

Found Footage: iPhone costume update includes working 40" LCD

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Oct 29th, 2010)

In 2007, we saw the first generation iPhone in some comically large costumes (video on the next page). Last year we brought you the footage of Reko and John sporting giant TV screens with jailbroken iPhones powering the costumes. They used "updated" iPhones, but still sported square edges and no ...
