Clearly a fan of the annual dress-up day, Pete tweeted to his many fans and followers, "back home stoked to get halloween going!"
The family outing comes as Wentz just returned to the States following a short trip to Europe for performances with his new band Black Cards.

She?s draws an audience to every movie she?s in these days, and Kristen Stewart's ?Welcome to the Riley?s? hits theaters today (October 29).
The ?Twilight? superstar revealed to MTV News, ??Rileys? is best understood as a story of a girl trying to make it on her own ? and lacking the skills to pull it off.?
"It's about understanding who you're playing and you have a responsibility because you feel like you can't let them down," she added.
Ms Stewart plays a 16-year-old (real name Allison, working-girl name Mallory) who flees to a New Orleans strip club and meets a man (James Gandolfini) who becomes her father figure and attempts to help her pick up the pieces of her broken life.

MC says he used King of Pop's likeness to represent cult mentality.

In a production wrought with powerful imagery, the Michael Jackson procession scene in Kanye West's film debut, "Runaway," is among the most impactful and intriguing.
Around seven minutes into the movie, which centers on the ill-fated romance between West's character, Griffin, and a phoenix played by Selita Ebanks, fireworks herald a parade of a crimson-clad marching band flanked by a mob of followers sporting pointed hoods reminiscent of the garb worn by the Ku Klux Klan. The band surrounds a larger-than-life illuminated bust of the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, while Griffin and the phoenix excitedly look on.
When West sat down with MTV News' Sway for a live Q&A session that followed the film's premiere Saturday (October 23) on MTV, he explained that he juxtaposed Jackson's likeness with the hooded marchers to make a comment about the potent pull of cult mentality.
"The hood, what it does represent to me ... in relation to the Michael Jackson thing is not the KKK but the concept of cult, because it's multiple people with this hood on," West explained. "It's me taking [the phoenix] to my world and saying, 'Let me show you what my world is about.' "
West said he invoked the image of the late icon, whose expansive cultural reach was unparalleled, to demonstrate the energy of the pop realm.
"The greatest, biggest pop-cultural figure of all time, arguably bigger than Jesus Christ, is Michael Jackson. You have the band in front of him, marching ... and you have the cult around it," West said, before explaining the scene that precedes the procession, of a young boy in mid-sprint brandishing a flaming baton.
"If you saw the kid in the beginning, he's running and running at top speed holding his torch, and his torch represents his thoughts and ideals. At the end, after he's been cultivated, he has the hood on now and he's walking extremely slow. That's basically how people think," West said. "It's the way society has set people up to be able to control them, slave mentalities."
Yeezy added that coaxing people into social conformity is an effective form of control — assuming the followers don't decide to break away on their own trails.
"[By] just creating this mentality by cultivating the ideals ... you could just make people just stand in their own mental jails," he said. "What happens when someone isn't in a mental jail?"

Showing her care and concern for fans, Katy Perry has not only released the video for her single ?Firework,? she has dedicated it to the movement against bullying of gay teens.
The ?California Gurls? babe is an avid supporter of the ?It Gets Better? movement and tweeted that the dedication is because she feels ?everyone has the spark to be a firework.?
Perry, who recently tied the knot with Russell Brand, told MTV News, "People are coming back and almost adopting it as their own anthem, and it's hard, I think, to write an anthem that's not cheesy."
"And I hope that this could be something in that category. I hope this could be one of those things where it's like, 'Yeah, I want to put my fist up and feel proud and feel strong,'" the pop star added.

'He deserves to perform, because it's healing for him,' Michael Jackson's brother tells 'Extra.'

Chris Brown wasn't the only one getting misty-eyed at Sunday night's BET Awards during his tribute to Michael Jackson. The King of Pop's older brother, Jermaine, told "Extra" that he was also overcome with emotion during the dance routine, in which Brown paid homage to some of MJ's most famous moves and then attempted to sing "Man in the Mirror" before being overcome with emotion and weeping onstage.
"To see [Chris'] performance, it was very emotional for me, because it was an acceptance from his fans from what has happened to him and also paying tribute to my brother," Jermaine said. "It was just a spectacular moment."
Fans and critics have been split on the performance, which some saw as the bursting of an emotional dam for the singer, making his first major public appearance since he pleaded guilty to felony assault in his assault of former girlfriend Rihanna last June. Others speculated that Brown may have manufactured the tears to gain sympathy from fans who abandoned him in the wake of the Rihanna attack.
Jermaine Jackson said he thought Brown — a longtime devotee of Michael's and, at one point, considered a modern heir to the R&B throne — had every right to pay homage to his brother. "He deserves to perform, because it's healing for him," Jermaine said. "How can he learn from his mistakes if you don't give him a chance? He needs that. I love Rihanna, and I'm not supporting what he did, but I support him [as a singer] 100 percent. ... I'm just very emotional just knowing what has happened. Chris Brown is a human being, and we all make mistakes. We can't condemn him for what has happened. We hope he has learned from it."
Brown hasn't made any public statements since the BET performance, but on Monday, he did tweet, "My fans are my world," a follow-up to a message earlier in the day when he wrote, "I Love you ... (ever single one of #teambreezy)."

Tending to her all-important work duties, Jessica Alba was spotted looking stylish in Burbank, California on Thursday (September 30).
Wearing an interesting pair of boots as she was escorted out by a security staffer, the "Machete" actress visited ABC Studios for a quick business-related meeting.
Seemingly not the most punctual of mornings for the beautiful brunette, Miss Alba tweeted, "I hate being late... Its too early for this level of stress."
Meanwhile, Jess also took to Twitter to reinforce her longtime belief that global warming is a critical issue, as she wrote earlier in the week, "108 in So Cal on Sept 27th. Ummmm global warming?"
