If you're planning to dress up your pet in a funny costume for Halloween, make sure to grab a video camera. Not only will it be fun tonight and in years to come, but in a couple weeks that video will be perfect material at a festival where you can submit your own pet movies and watch other submissions.

The Hawaii Pet Film Festival and Holiday Gift Show on Nov. 14 at the Neal Blaisdell Exhibition Hall will feature great pet videos and photo essays, awards in different categories with celebrity guest judges, pet fashion shows, vendor booths, pet demonstrations, unique gifts for pets and pet lovers, a costume contest and fun for the entire family.
