Free Halloween Fun: Themes, Screen Savers, and Fonts to Ward Off the Holidays

It's that time of the year again, when days get short, nights get long, and Christmas seems just over the horizon. Perhaps Halloween is Nature's way of slowing the inevitable slide to the holidays. If you're planning a Halloween party instead of making your holiday gift list, how about printing out invitations in a Ghoulish font? And if you're busily hanging up paper ghosts and spider webs, don't neglect your computer: We've got several free wallpapers and desktop themes to choose from, including a festive Day of the Dead theme and mutant zombie-jack-o-lantern wallpaper.
