Zombie makeup on Halloween = Good.

Zombie makeup the day after Halloween = Bad.

Whether you’re going as zombie Palin, the Bride of Frankenstein, or a pack of Skittles, putting on loads of face paint and hair gel is the easy part - getting it all off is the real horror story on Halloween.

Here are my favorite take-it-all-off products. You may still find bits of glitter in your hair come Thanksgiving, but at least that fake blood will be off.

The So So Glos are a Brooklyn punk band that makes even the most basic three-chord song sound political.

There’s something quite cool about these leggings from Married to the Mob. It’s like, Sesame Street meets Silverlake.
