There have been some memorable Halloween-themed Google Doodles in the past, but today, Bing wins for best dressed homepage.

Bing's interactive homepage, which changes daily and often features pictures of scenic landscapes, paid tribute on Thursday to some of the most iconic horror films of all time. By clicking around the page, you'll see cameos from The Shining twins and references from Poltergiest, Pyscho, The Amityvile Horror and Halloween. For added thrills, make sure the volume is on as you navigate throughout the page.

Google's Halloween Doodle is interactive too — it lets you mix ingredients into a witches' brew. Depending on the order you pick, you'll be treated to a different mini-game to play. And the Google fun doesn't stop there — if you type words such as "ghost," "witch" and "skeleton" into Google, you'll get quick facts about their history.

But if you line up the two in a contest for best Halloween homepage look, we're all in with Bing.
