It is postulated that at an early age, serial killers often begin by harming animals and as they grow, they work their way up to humans. Now, as a parent, there are several different ways you can use this vital bit of information to your advantage. Say you run a neighborhood play group and you'd like to keep your eye on that shady-looking infant that you're just convinced is up to no good when your back is turned.

Easy as pie!

Wait until the sucker starts eating solids, then leave him a tray of some scrumptious Valentine's Day Candy Apples and and some Black Cat Belgian Chocolate Caramel Apples. If he goes for the Valentine's apples, breathe a heavy sigh of relief: this baby poses little threat. However, if he crunches into the cute 'n' cuddly kitten, you might as well sell your house and move to Papua New Guinea, because chances are if you stay on the same continent, the future Sunset Slasher is gonna find you.

However, what if you're an aspiring Stage Parent, but your child just does not have any talent? Just keep in mind that any publicity is good publicity, and tendencies toward serial murders are not merely congenital! Try playing up your insecure middle child's already-existing anxieties and encourage the consumption of such delectably lifelike treats as the cat candied apples and gummi bears. Then, graduate onto something a bit more personified for twice the fun!

You'll know when your child is ready.

In honor of Halloween, we here at ShopWiki are honoring the love between German citizens and candied apples. A phenomenon virtually unknown to the American world until this very moment, the intimate relationship between folk and fruit has captivated the Teutonic world since the Great Düsseldorf Candied Apple Fire of 1855.

On that fateful evening, Horst Schenk, the night watchman at the candied apple factory, improperly extinguished his cigarette before succumbing to the crashing low following his nightly sugar binge. Thankfully, because of the proximity to the Rhine River, neither the city itself nor any of its inhabitants were at any time imperiled, but the factory was annihilated beyond repair. Horst was later stoned to death by an angry mob in front of the Town Hall.

Since that tragic fire, Germans and Germans at heart alike have dedicated their lives to commemorating the memory of all those succulent lost souls and the population that could only stop weeping with the rise of reliable import relations. To this day, in almost every home across the nation, one will find a tribute to the chilling misfortune, most commonly in the form of intricate tapestries.

However, the sympathizers at ThinkStock know that not everyone has the kind of time for back-breaking loom work, and so they have generously compiled a photographic series for just such an occasion. Now you too can show your support of the Düsseldorfers' plight and your love of history with these attractive pieces.

From all of us here, Fröhliche Halloween, and for more decorating ideas, follow the jump!
