• Eight Real-Life Doctor Frankensteins Who Pushed the Boundaries of Life and Death – Plenty of mad and not-so-mad scientists have played with human and animal bodies to gain an understanding of the limits on life. Here are some who performed shocking experiments.
• Real Story of Halloween – The History Channel provides this overview of the Halloween holiday, including ancient origins, modern traditions, Halloween around the world, superstitions, and trivia.
