Have fun. Be safe. Play nice.

And now for the PopCap party people:

A fun-loving Joker gleefully menaces a broody Batman.

This duo was a walking reminder to all of the profound importance of partying on.

Winner of Scariest Costume...the girl from the Ring. Not in fact a brunette Cousin Itt.

While both these couples clearly coordinated their costumes, they did not actually coordinate with each other! This is a cosmic cosplay confluence of Nickelodeon devotion.

Winner of Best PopCap Costume: our beloved attack dog, Noni, caught in the act of foraging for food around the office. The one flaw in the execution is that Noni never actually looks sheepish when she gets caught.

Thing 1 and Thing 2 win for best costume to wear for crashing parties on Halloween--seriously, how do you know who's in there?

Another gorgeously crafted costume from Katie, who brought us last year's Medusa. How does she do it? What might she charge to make something for me....

The grand prize winners were a trio. Everyone seemed very excited about their costume. Something to do with "L'Homme de la Famille," I think.

Where was I? Oh, right. Caption contest voting. Here’s the image, followed by our contestants. Vote for the one you feel is most deserving of 7 minutes of internet fame (due to budget cuts, we can’t offer 15 minutes of fame anymore).

And in the spirit of Halloween, our voting button is dressed as a ghost. If you don’t see it, hover over the box above the “View Results” link. Spooky!

While this looks like the expert craftsmanship of contestants on Halloween Wars, we promise you'll be able to pull it off!

As a Halloween gift to our players, PopCap artists designed some nifty templates to make carving your favorite characters a much less daunting task!  Yesterday afternoon, our fearless Community team gathered to test out the templates before sharing them with the world.

Note: we don't actually recommend carving your pumpkins this early in the month. By Halloween, they'll look scary in a bad way!

All pumpkin carving starts with the messy fun of cleaning out the seeds and stringy stuff. Once you’ve got it hollowed out, choose your template and tape it on securely. Then you’ll want a simple pushpin to punch through the paper along the outlines, marking the pumpkin.

This is a labor of love. Love for Zombies, art, and you, fellow Zombie-lovers.

See the tiny little pinpricks along the outline of the Starrgh-fish? That's how you transfer the image on the page to the surface of the pumpkin before carving.

Look closely, and you can see the neat little lines showing him just where to carve!

So where can you go to get all these templates yourself?  Check out the Facebook fan pages for Plants vs. Zombies, Zuma Blitz, Solitaire Blitz, Bejeweled Blitz, and
Lucky Gem Casino over the days to come for posts sharing each game’s specific images, or download them directly from the links at the bottom of this post.

And finally, I’d like to leave you with some pumpkin-carving tips courtesy of our beloved Steve Notley:

With our countdown to Halloween officially begun, we have some spooky-good news about our Stop Zombie Mouth campaign, a trip down iPod memory lane, and more!

• The Stop Zombie Mouth campaign is in full swing as it makes a Page 1 appearance in the print edition of ADA News. Not to mention, the campaign music video made its public debut! Check out the video and other campaign treats at stopzombiemouth.com.

• Not only did the Stop Zombie Mouth video launch, but so did the new campaign trading cards! Here is some of the press that covered these limited edition cards: Venture Beat, The Verge, and Digital Trends.

• Seattle Business Magazine had its 2012 Tech Impact Awards for companies and organizations that use technology to have a positive impact on the lives of others… and in 1^st place, PopCap! Check out what they had to say here.

• Remember when all iPods had click wheels? The Verge does, and they think Peggle was one of the best wheel games! Obviously!

Lastly, Plants vs. Zombies was listed by Pad Gadget as one of the best games to play if you want to kill time during a meeting. However, if you get fired for doing this, we will deny ever giving you this information.

If you’re looking for inspiration this year, here are a few of our past favorites:

Six-year-old Adrien partied with dignitaries at the US Embassy Halloween Party in Hanoi, Vietnam dressed as the Peashooter!

Peashooter accompanied by the parental Sunflower and Zombie

Adrien's costume ended up winning the "Most Original Costume!"

Trenten chose the opposite route and transformed into the undead on Halloween night.

Possibly the cutest zombie we've ever seen

Inspired by our Zombie Temp Worker videos, six-year-old Griffin and his mom created a PvZ zombie after several days of papier-mâché magic.

The best costume in his elementary school -- obviously

Sarah H.’s boys made a formidable pair as Buckethead Zombie and Balloon Zombie.

Ian and Sean as two of the toughest zombies to defeat in PvZ

Lastly, our own Plants vs. Zombies characters decided to dress up for Halloween!

Trick-or-treat!

Again, Happy Halloween everyone!

What did folks at PopCap dress up as for Halloween? Stay tuned next week!

Meanwhile, your photos from Halloween past keep arriving in our in-box. So while you’re putting the final touches on your own costume, take a peek at at one more batch of Halloween costumes and decorations — courtesy of our amazing Blog readers.
