Pet Costumes are Popular

Evil Pets and Their Halloween Costumes

Halloween is fun for pets. They love their parents and are always having play time with them. If the pets are used to wearing a sweater or any other type of clothing for them, then wearing a Halloween costume will not be a problem. Try a few months ahead of the event if the animal is not used to this and gently show them it will not hurt them or scare them. Cats love to play with their tails. So, they will think it is a new adventure to explore.

A lot of times the parents will dress up as the same as their pets. Sometimes they just want to dress up their pets only. One of the most popular costumes this year is zombies. This would be a great concept to try with your pet.

If you own a large dog like a rot, pit, or anything else bulky and mean, they are already scary enough. Buy a dog costume that will cover their body by using snaps or Velcro. There can be leg coverings also. If there is not, then use friendly dog safe makeup to blend the dog’s legs in with the body cover. Attach the zombie head covering to their head. Never cover their face to keep them safe.

If you just want to have Halloween fun and go tamer, just buy a sweater that says, “I love zombies.” Or other sayings and designs like a zombie hunter, biohazard, skulls, and more. Dad or mom can have matching t-shirts. If the parents were zombie hunters, then they would carry a crossbow or a pistol designed to kill zombies on contact. Use a head covering for the dog that would give them a weapon to use. Like a zombie killing bone or an extra set of teeth.

If you are having a problem in finding an evil pet costume, try this idea. Measure your dog. Then, go to the craft store and buy fake fur. Use elastic or Velcro to attach to the fake fur. This also will be attached to your pet safely.  Take the fur and use latex face paint for skin that will be open oozing sores. Or just look for wounds that are for sale for Halloween. Glue them on with craft glue and dry completely. Do not forget to add blood if necessary.

You can comb your dog or cat’s fur to blend into the fake fur, if they have long hair. Do the same for each leg to blend into the costume. Create a head covering that will Velcro around their neck. Remember to comb their hair into it to blend in. Your pet will never have blood or face paint on them. They will stay clean and have no skin allergies.  But, they will have a lot of fun!

The parents can take their creation and match it to their costume by shopping around and adding accessories to it.  They will look well complemented and get a lot of looks walking down the street. If you do it correctly, the animal’ wounds will look real! Even add glow in the dark to the wounds for a creepy, eerie affect!

If you are to busy, like most of us these days, to make a costume for your beloved pet, don't fret, because the selection of costumes for your pet, is huge this year. Pet costumes abound. Just look around and remember, it's all about having fun.

ZOMBIE COSTUMES ARE ALL THE RAGE

ZOMBIE APOCOLYPSE

 

Watch out for the zombies! They are everywhere in 2012! With the help of the AMC show, “The Walking Dead”, that has been a hit since it premiered in 2010. As far as Halloween costumes, decorations and props, zombies are all the rage! This year, there seems to be quite a bit of new zombie paraphilia.

The whole green slime thing may freak people out but that is what makes it so awesome! Green slime and zombies just go together. How can young boys and teens resist green slime?  It seems as though the neon green color stands for some type of toxic. Cool!

Not only can young kids and adults enjoy being zombies but there are new costumes that were made with sexy girls in mind! You can now find plenty of sexy zombie costumes, so all those little hard bodies can look just as wretched. You can be a whole family of zombies for Halloween!

Sexy Lady Zombie

 

Zombies do not leave anyone out! There are prom queens, doctors, nurses, cheerleaders, etc. There is a huge zombie walk in Asbury Park, N.J., where zombies gather the streets. The costumes are amazing and people really put thought into their “undead” creations. If you do not want to dress up and you are just interested in the gory spectacle that is totally accepted.

The countdown for Halloween is here! So, get your thinking caps on! I mean, if you are not a zombie, I forgot you are always on the prowl for brains! It is the best time of year to be creative and bring out your inner ghoul!

Time to start thinking of Halloween!

GET IN GEAR, HALLOWEEN IS HERE!

The weather seems to be changing and it is getting darker earlier. The kids are back to school. The pools will be closing, the boardwalks will become desolate and you will no longer see lifeguards on the beach. It seems like such an unhappy ending but the thought of bonfires and hot cocoa will give you something to look forward to! Time to start unpacking your jeans and hoodie’s because you know how September is!

September is that time of year when it is cold in the early morning and warm in the afternoon, which can be obnoxious when trying to dress appropriately! The great part is that Halloween is right around the corner. You know what that means! Get your Halloween costumes ready because the festivities for All Hallows Eve will arrive sooner than you think!

The department stores are starting to display their autumn and Halloween selections. You have to be prepared! Check out the latest trends in Halloween costumes! There are always new fads for each year and the costumes are getting pretty interesting! It seems like popular cartoons and TV shows always come out with new costumes for the season.

So get into gear because that time of year is almost here!





Back to school - Now it's time to make Halloween plans

The summer is almost over and -as always- it has gone by way too fast! As the old saying goes, “time flies when you’re having fun!” Hopefully you had a nice, relaxing vacation and you didn’t have to work too hard. But if you’re one of the many parents that work harder on vacation than any other time of the year…you’re not alone. Keeping up with the little ones can be hectic. But as much as the kids dread going “back-to-school” in September, sometimes that’s what parents look forward to most of all.

Don’t feel guilty…I’m sure most moms and dads breathe a sigh of relief when the bus pulls up to pick them up on the first day of school. Not only do we have the added stress of making summer plans and the financial burden of taking the family to theme parks and water parks (not to mention the insanely high gas prices) but then, when we near the end of the season… we have to head to the mall for every parent’s worst nightmare…school shopping.

With all the stress of summertime and back-to-school shopping, it’s hard to think too far ahead. But as quickly as the summer flies by, the holidays also seem to come in the blink of an eye. And we all know which holiday the kids look forward to most. Halloween shopping!

Annoying Orange Mask

We all know (probably too well) that last minute Halloween shopping is a nightmare. A little pre-planning can really go a long way in preventing Halloween mishaps. Make sure that your kids (and yourself if you’re dressing up this year) know exactly what you want to be at least a month before Halloween. My theory in making that BIG, IMPORTANT decision is “the sooner, the better”. When you know exactly what you’re looking for there is much less of a risk of not finding what you need and want. Most people shop for Halloween costumes and accessories too close to the big day and end up disappointed that they can’t find the size or style that they were looking for. Start thinking and planning right now!

Do you have any ideas yet? If so, what are they? Maybe your kids are still too little to come up with their own ideas and you still get to decide for them. Or maybe your kids think they’re old enough to decide but have the most outrageous (and hilarious) ideas that are nearly impossible to put together. No matter what ideas you have or don’t have…the most important thing is to be safe and HAVE FUN. Happy Halloween!

Special Effects

Hey everyone I just wanted to talk a little bit about my favorite time of year, Halloween! I love this day because it is the only time when you can run around in crazy costumes and get together with all of your friends to check out their own costumes. I love when someone really gets into the Halloween spirit and puts together that stand out costume that grabs all of the attention in the room. Creativity is the key to putting together the best looking costume. If you get the right materials and really put some thought into it you will be amazed with the results.

 Over the years I have tried a lot of Halloween costumes and products used to create them. The thing is usually when you buy something cheap you get something cheap. People always say "you get what you pay for" and the statement holds true. But once in a while you come across a product that exceeds its expectations.

Reel F/X is a  line of affordable latex prosthetics with a huge selection characters like Demons, Zombies, Skeletons, and more. Along with the mask prosthetics they have a lot of prosthetics of scars, wounds, and other gorey injuries that add that extra element to a costume. All of these products come at a very low cost with professional quality results. The mask molds to the shape of your face making it look like it is actually part of your own skin! Each kit will come with all the materials needed a prepainted latex prosthetic, spirit gum adhesive, adhesive remover, and step by step instructions to walk you through the process. I love the realism of the products they sell and the unique look to make you stand out in a crowd.

I am glad that I found this company and their products because their price can’t be beat for what they offer. These are my new Halloween favorites and I plan to use a new one each year. So, what is your favorite Halloween costume of all time? 

  

Halloween Tips

When shopping for Halloween Costumes, what are the first things that you consider? Obviously, most of us choose our costumes according to what we want to be. Makes sense, right? But if you want to avoid the hassle of spending money to be disappointed this Halloween, there are a few ways to go about it.

First of all, make sure you know exactly what kind of costume you want to wear and what accessories you’ll need to go with it. That’s the biggest and most important decision you’ll make. But if you’re not used to shopping for costumes or you don’t know where or how to start, there are a few things I think you’ll find helpful.

Most people overlook some very important details when shopping for costumes. When you spend too much time focused on a particular costume and the way that it looks, it’s easy to look past comfort, material, sizing and versatility. Style is, of course, important and you absolutely need to look good in your costume. But you deserve to feel good in it, too! 

The last thing you want or need when you’re getting ready for Halloween is to put your new, expensive costume on and find that it’s too small, too big, itchy or hot. And what’s even worse is when it’s too close to Halloween to return or exchange the item for something that works for you. When you’re comparison shopping, always have at least one “just in case” costume in mind before you complete your order. Find out what the costume is made out of, your exact measurements and the costume’s measurements. 

Unfortunately it’s never possible to completely plan for the weather. But hopefully you’ll know what the approximate temperature will be during the Halloween season and you can plan accordingly. Having to throw a jacket on at the last minute can completely ruin the look of your costume, but being under-dressed can be just as much of a disappointment. Good luck in your costume search this year… I hope that you found this information useful. Have fun and be safe. Happy Halloween!

Women love to get into the Halloween spirit just as much as anyone does. Getting dressed up just comes natural to them and Halloween is the perfect day to try out a Sexy Halloween costume. Just about any kind of costume can be made to look sexy and seductive. From TV and movie theme costumes, to funny or even scary theme costumes they all come in sexy styles.

These costumes range from just cute fun costumes for the more conservative people. Then there are some of the more risque costumes for the girls who are afraid to show it all off. The choice is completely up to you but just remember Halloween doesn’t always have to be scary.

Pop Culture Costumes

                We all love Movie Costumes show characters so what better way to prove how much we love them than dressing up like them for Halloween. These are probably the best costumes to wear because they are the most recognizable and always put a smile on people’s faces when they get to see their favorite characters come to life. There are so many different options to choose from when it comes to dressing like a famous TV show or movie character. This is a fun way to show the world just who your favorites are and also a good way to play out your childhood fantasies. 

                Halloween only comes once a year, but these days there are events like Comic-Con that gives you the opportunity to play dress up and not feel like a total outcast.  When you dress like a famous character it’s also easier to find couple’s themed costumes. This works well for people that want to show that they are together and it doesn’t have to be boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife. A group of guys can all wear outfits from a certain movie or TV show that makes them look like a team.

                In any event people love to dress up in costumes, especially when they dress like someone or something that they admire. They seem to become the character that they chose to dress up as and take on that personality. In doing this they make other people around them get more into their costume themed ideas. So, be creative and find the costume for your favorite character this Halloween.
