Kudos to the family of the late pitchman Billy Mays, who died in June.

Knowing that Billy would likely be among this Halloween's hottest costumes, his family has decided to have fun and throw a "Hallow-Clean" costume contest.

Billy Mays III, who launched a Web site called Where's Billy Mays? in his father's honor, is asking people to send in photos of themselves dressed as his dad for Halloween.

Some people might think this might be in bad taste, but I agree with Billy's son on this one.

"All I'm trying to do is spread some positivity out there in the world," he says on the Web site. "Couldn't hurt, could it?"

He'll select three winners to receive a tub of OxyClean and some autographed pics of his pop as prizes. Entries are due by Nov. 4.

"Good luck and may the beard be with you," he says.
