Photojojo has some great tips for taking photos at Halloween. Most of Halloween takes place in the dark, so getting good photos is tough.

My favorites...

Time Lapse costumes:

Sporting an elaborate get-up? Stick your camera on a tripod and document your transformation through makeup, costume, etc. Try to maintain the same position in each photo to for a fun effect as you flip through photos in a slideshow.

Twilight pictures:

You’ll get your best Halloween photos at dusk. For that hour or so while the sun is setting, you’ll have enough natural light to easily forgo your flash while still capturing the glow of your jack-o-lanterns and the bright colors of your costumes.
