On Halloween, great ideas come in all shapes and sizes.
Pint-sized kids walk the neighborhoods in costumes that range from
scary to funny to heroic. Candy fills treat bags and buckets shaped
like monsters, ghosts and pumpkins. Front yards are full of
Styrofoam graveyards, strobe lights, fog machines and life-sized
skeletons rising from animated coffins. Behind many of these great
and spooky ideas, there is a patent.
You may think that patents are the least-fun part of the
year's most terrifying holiday, but Halloween-themed patents
can actually make for entertaining reading. We picked out some of
our favorites below.

"A face with glowing eyes returns stare or blinks at
onlookers."
