Halloween isn’t just a North American holiday — it’s celebrated all around the world. It’s a fact that people just love getting scared. This is why we find long lines at haunted houses and movie theaters, and a few more late-night visitors to cemeteries around this time of year.

How else do we celebrate? We dress up, of course! We put the kids into costumes, the dog wears a hotdog suit, and the house gets a Halloween extreme makeover. Well, what about your BlackBerry ® smartphone? I’ve got you covered. I’ve put together a list of some great themes for your BlackBerry devices that are sure to keep you in the Halloween spirit all month:

Official Halloween Movie Theme – Animated with Ringtone by Cellfish Studios LLC.: Customize your BlackBerry smartphone with the theme from the cult classic movie Halloween. This theme includes original imagery, an animated homescreen, and a ringtone of the infamous theme song.

Gollum Scared Monster Theme by BB Theme Studio: High definition backgrounds and customized spooky icons look stunning on your ‘precious’ BlackBerry smartphone.

Halloween Bats by Value Apps: This Halloween theme will make your BlackBerry smartphone batty, adding a spooky twist to your smartphone with matching color thematic.

Monster Theme by R K Theme Lab: Very fast, simple to use and looks great in HD quality.

In true Inside BlackBerry fashion, I’ve asked our community managers at the office to share what they love most about Halloween:

Carolyn ^CH – I love the over-the-top ridiculous horror movie marathons.

Melanie ^MM – I get a kick out of the way little kids have difficulty walking in their costumes. It’s adorable.

Me ^DH – I personally love getting to eat a ton of peanut butter cups – it’s the most wonderful time of the year.

And Kerri ^KB – is decidedly the self proclaimed Grinch who stole Halloween.

Before we begin, opening the Setup app can be accomplished two ways. The first is when it opens automatically after starting up a new BlackBerry 7 OS smartphone. The second is when you open it by selecting the Setup icon that appears on the Home Screen if you’ve already set up BlackBerry 7 on your smartphone. With this being said, let’s dive in.
