I'm guessing that the "clever/unique Halloween Shot" that wing tong is referring to is mine (see below) and here is the FM Thread.
Both of these images are 30 second exposures with a 40D - first one is ISO 800 under a full moon - second is ISO 3200 - EXIF is in the images ... with a blue LED and handheld flashlight for illumination.
Some very nifty stuff posted in this thread - most notably by PetKal and Ariel - WOW!
He already answered it, by using strobe. Set the camera to long exposure and let the flash fires off in quick succession and since there's no ambient light, the camera wouldn't record any motion blur.
You do can it without a strobe if you're recording a slow movement, just use at tripod and shoot in burst and combine all the frames in photoshop.

These two are not really 'tricks"......they simply require appropriate positioning relative to the target. However, having a mallard fly into your face could be tricky.
shot in a Balinese temple by moonlight, candlelight, LED light, and a flash in there somewhere. This is not just a matter of long exposure, usually people go way too long and the pattern is lost

This was done with a black background, strobe from the left, reflector on the right, camera on tripod precomposed, lighting the match in a clamp with one hand and firing the camera with a remote trigger in another hand, and lots and lots of attempts to get the timing right, take into account the air currents in the room and know which direction the smoke will go, etc.
