Jason Voorhees costume

Jason Voorhees costume

When it comes to film themed Halloween costumes for men, you are spoilt for choice. One of the most original fancy dress costumes around has to be a Beetlejuice outfit. This comprises a black and white striped jacket and trousers, a huge spiky white wig and authentically scary mask. The film Beetlejuice is about a young couple who die in a car crash and become ghosts haunting their own house. When an unpleasant family move into the house, the couple enlist the help of a devious and malevolent “bio-exorcist” to scare away the new inhabitants. In equal measures scary and funny, Beetlejuice became something of a cult figure. He will certainly cause a stir at any Halloween party!

Another famous horror film character is Jason Voorhees, the serial killer of the Friday the 13th series of movies. Dressed in this Halloween costume, you can make a slashing entrance to any party – don’t forget to bring along some fake blood for extra scary effects! A Jason Voorhees costume consists of a green patterned shirt with a tattered effect, matching trousers and vinyl hockey face mask. You can purchase special latex Jason Voorhees hands to match your costume and these come complete with exposed bone. You can even buy a bloodstained fake chrome effect machete with haunting sound effects. The Friday the 13th horror franchise includes twelve films and revolves around the evil Jason Voorhees, who drowned in a lake and wreaks his revenge on the community that failed to save him, by returning from the dead to commit a series of horrific murders.

Creating your own halloween fancy dress costume party

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

One of the pleasures of halloween is that we can use it as an excuse to throw a Halloween fancy dress party. One of the traditions the early settlers took to America was the Halloween traditions.So now that you have decided to throw a party here are some good ideas to get you on track.
Kids are not left out with halloween costumes freely available.

The date.

Of course you know the date is 31st October.But the problem is this usually falls on a weekday. In order to make your party work best pick a Saturday directly before or after the day. Don’t neglect to tell you guests well in advance so they can prepare. Four weeks would be good notice.

Costume

You want to encourage as many people as possible to come dressed up as ghouls and ghosts and vampires because Halloween is known as the day of the year when all the departed are meant to return for the evening. This is why the whole tone of Halloween is macabre. With ample notice, people now have the time to either make their own costume or to buy one from an online store.Another reason to plan in advance is because shops tend to book out their most popular characters well before the big day. There are many reasons why you might want to create your own. One is you have will have no concerns about damaging it.It won’t cost you anything.The other is you can generally use more lavish fabrics than any store could possibly offer . You also have the added pleasure of shopping around stores to add to your overall effect and you will certainly come up with some good ideas.

Decorations
Have you been into party shop recently? The products available have grown and improved immensely over the years. Cobwebs and slime are freely available. One big effect you can carry out is to change some of your bulbs in your house into green or red. This immediately changes the atmosphere.

Food
Pumpkins are now available in most supermarkets and if you take a look at some of the designs on line there is no limit to what you could do.  A little colorant changes even basic foodstuffs into something evil looking.

Witches costume for halloween

Friday, October 9th, 2009

With so many styles of costumes for halloween which ones are the biggest hits this year?

The Witch is your classic Halloween costume and both young and old choose it. Having changed over the years, the appearance of the sexy witch, made it even more popular. This look  is within the top 10 of most popular Halloween costumes for women. It’s no longer the case where the witches costume is ghastly looking. Nowadays women opt for sexier and glamorous looking fancy dress outifts. Sexy witch costumes range from little mini black dresses leaving nothing to the imagination through to the lengthy and lacy “Morticia Adams” kind.

The there is the devil costume which, like the witch, has changed in style in recent seasons. The sexy devil costume is much in demand and particlarly liked by women because they can make it look very sexy. The idea of being a “devilish girl” is appealing to most.The devil that is often portrayed in films is a bit of a dandy, dapper and well dressed and this appeals to men. Finally, the devil costume is also popular with kids, and come Halloween, you’ll find children in red over-alls with tails and horns sticking out. The devil costume can be used  to bring out our mischievous side.

But let’s say you prefer the ugly creepy witch. Here are a few make up ideas to help you on your way.

The main colors we use are green and black. So start by painting your nails black. Then get some baby powder and a little green food coloring. Add a bit of water and make it into a paste and then apply it to your face.So now yoiu ge the greenstick y look of the witch in Wicked. Stick a huge wart on your nose to add to the effect. Witches aren’t supposed to be pretty. Next, tussle up your hair. Make it look unkempt and stringy. Your costume doesn’t have to be perfect either. Your “ugly witch” look can be enhanced by making it look ragged. If you want to dress up in a sexy witch costume, a fitted long black dress or a short one will suffice. Add some high heels, a witch hat and some fishnet tights and you are all set. and you’re good to go.

You want to go as the devil himself?
RED is the color here. For men, find a red suit for your sexy devil costume and top it off with plastic horns. Make sure your hair is oiled and slicked back. If you don’t have a red suit, try some red long john’s. Attach a home made pointed tail and you’r all ready.

For womens’ costumes, a form fitting red dress will work. Match it with red high heels and sleek looking hair. Finish you look off with a few sparkles and don’t forget your horns!

Batman at our wedding party ctd:

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

Not everyone at the wedding was a great fan of superheroes, but I got the distinct impression that all of the people there thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It is amazing what a difference it can make to some people when you dress them in batman costumes… The whole thing was really good fun and the photographs came out brilliantly. I think that it was a day that will stick in the mind of everyone who was invited.

Wearing batman costumes for your big day might not be something that really appeals to you, but don’t dismiss the idea of a themed wedding itself. There are all sorts of things that you could work around that would be more in touch with you and your partner. If you do fancy having a themed wedding then think of something that you would both like to have. Start off with a simple idea and use it as a starting point. Remember that this is your special day and that you both want to enjoy it.

There are lots of companies that supply not only fancy dress outfits, but who actually specialize in themed weddings. If you go on the net and have a look at the websites of some companies then you will soon see that there is a huge choice available. Whatever theme you both decide on having, you will be hard pushed to think of anything that cannot be catered for. Do give a brief consideration to batman costumes though… It really was very good fun.
