I've signed up for regular updates from The Guinness World of Records (their "monthly superlative news fix") for some time and guess what?! Recently they've announced a list of Top Halloween Records - and I thought: Wow - why not show our classes a slideshow of Halloween records next week to introduce or review the adjective degrees, namely the superlative forms???? The Telegraph also has an amazing picture gallery of carved pumpkins and here is another under the heading "Thrill the world 2010" with zombies.
As Halloween approaches, both BBC and CNN have posted images and articles on this subject, even comparing US and UK spendings as it happens here or in this video. So, besides those old but still useful Classroom Timesavers (Holidays and Special Days in the USA / Festivals and Special Days in Britain), what I've already posted before and am posting now, there is a wide range of sources to choose from - one needs but time to search and choose and that's what we haven't got...
Further interesting / curious infos can be found...

Thanks, Alex, as always, for your fantastic ideas on each topic. I can´t imagine how much time-consuming it must be for you to look for all these sites and links, which I find really useful, so, thank you very much once more.
You're always welcome, Cristina! Thanks for visiting the blog and for your precious comments.

A hug, Alexandra
