Hilarious Faces People Make In Haunted Houses
Halloween is coming, and we thought we'd get into the spirit of things by revisiting one of our favorite sets of spooky photos ever.

The Funniest Black Friday Memes
It's Black Friday, and you know what that means -- hiding in your home away from the world while people desperately claw at each other's faces to buy a Wii U for their kid.
