All things considered, I think that we can all agree that it's a good thing cats don't have mutant powers, cuz we'd all be dead in short order.

Kids: Korra and Momo
Korra and Momo (from Avatar: The Legend of Korra)
"These are the children of a friend of a friend’s friend, an obviously stupendous parent named Ana, who made the Korra costume. I’m not sure where she got the Momo costume, but it is equally and ridiculously fantastic. I love Halloween. Thanks Awesome Family for sharing."

Fan Film: Star Trek Continues
The fan-made web series Star Trek Continues, directed by Vic Mignogna, picks up of story of the crew of the Enterprise immediately after the end of the original series. The cast does an admirable job capturing the spirit of the original series and an even better job emulating the look of the series. It's a jarring reminder of just how far consumer-grade technology has come when hobbyists can re-create the experience of what was a cutting-edge network series this well.
This episode, "Pilgrim of Eternity," was written by Mignogna, Steve Frattarola, and Jack Treviño, and follows up the original Star Trek episode "Who Mourns for Adonais?" In fact, Michael Forest reprises his original series role as Apollo. And there are a few more surprises in this episode, including a very special guest star. Also, be sure to listen closely to the ship's computer.

Fan Film: Flight From Shadow
Epic Level TV has posted a making-of documentary going into the story
behind the creation of “Flight From Shadow,” a Wheel of Time short film
created by fans of the epic fantasy series. The whole project makes me wonder how this series has gone so long without some form of screen adaptation.
"WHEEL OF TIME fan movie "Flight From Shadow" chronicles the events in the "Four Kings in Shadow" chapter from The Eye of the World, the first book of Robert Jordan's bestselling series.
After narrowly escaping an ambush in the town of Whitebridge and walking for days on the Caemlyn Road, Rand al'Thor and his companion Matrim Cauthon seek rest and shelter in the Dancing Cart-Man Inn at the village of Four Kings. After bargaining for one night's room and board with Saml Hake, the duo soon discover that the servants of the Great Lord of the Dark are hot on their heels. Deceived by Hake and his henchmen, Rand and Mat find themselves trapped in a storeroom, forced to use the forbidden energy of the One Power for their very survival."
Fan Film: Girl of Steel
Here's a fantastic fan film that frames the story of Supergirl with the dignity that's so often been absent from her franchise. Read an interview with the film's star at Comic Book and Movie Reviews.
"Girl of Steel is a conceptual fan film based on DC Universe/Comics heroine, Supergirl. We wanted to produce a short story that empowers female role models. The Girl of Steel isn't just a superhero, but a freedom fighter inherited in all young women."
Fan Film: A Tale of Benjen Stark
"A Tale of Benjen Stark" A Game of Thrones fanfiction by The VonWong
While we wait for the fourth season of Game of Thrones to be released, here's an awesome fan-made short film for you to check out. The short is incredibly well done. This is the first of a two part film.
"On a scouting mission shortly after his return to the wall, Benjen Stark stumbles upon the bloody aftermath of an attack on a wildling camp. A pair of survivors are discovered as Ben attempts to unravel the mystery behind the carnage."

Family: Dwarves of The Hobbit
This Halloween post from The Weisse Guys blog may be the single most epic cosplay post I have ever seen. The Weisse family got together with the Burch Jerks and Speier Kids to stage a massive group cosplay of the entire cast of The Hobbit, including the hobbit, the dwarves, the elves, and, yes, even a tiny Smaug. It is quite evident from the photos that a lot of effort and a lot of love went into the costumes, and it looks like a good time was had by all. Not only am I completely jealous, but I'm also now a lifetime subscriber to The Weisse Guys blog. Please click through to see all the photos on their blog, they deserve the traffic.
