The Best of the Best For Halloween - The Top Five Scariest Movie Costumes

Without further delay, the top five scariest Halloween costume ideas. Ready your security blanket, and read on.

5. Alien (1979) This movie may only be scarier than Signs due to the fact that, they're in space. You have to wait for the second movie, Aliens, to see the whole evil. And instead of the aliens coming to destroy the world, they're just going to destroy you and everyone you know, in space. While this seems less destructive, it gives the old lust for life a kick-start. Plus, monsters with consecutively extending heads automatically rank on a top five list. It's a little-known rule in the monster hierarchy.

4. Hellraiser (1987) Name a group of sadistic demons after something that sounds robotic and you've got yourself a winner. Throw in a weapon equipped puzzle-box to summon them, and even I'll ignore the incompetent dramaturgy. In this realm, the Cenobites rule, and you don't even need to watch the dramatic down-turns to appreciate the Cenobites and their S&M theatrics. They would be the coolest Halloween costumes, ever. To top it all off, their leader has hundreds of little pins sticking out of his head. I haven't sewn a stitch since seeing this film, for fear of inadvertently summoning him.

3. Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) The best horror films come equipped with a foreboding child's nursery rhyme. The best horror monsters attack you when you're at your most vulnerable - humanity's inevitable weakness - the REM cycle. Freddy Krueger does both the rhyme and the prime time attack in one shot. He then forces you to relive this nightmare, seven more times over the course of a decade. Those are some serious monster skills. And when you watch the entire Nightmare on Elm Street film series in sequential order, there's really no fighting the zzz's - you're finished. Freddy will get you, eventually. I'm quite sure of it.

2. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974; 2003) What tops a serial killing dream cycle parasite? I say, a demented serial killer with a chainsaw and his sadistic mastermind brother in the middle of nowhere. What makes this film stand out is not the slasher scenes (mostly because I covered my eyes during these parts). It's really the creepy and awkward 70s fashion, uncomfortable dialogue, and social boundary crossing that sets the stage for the slaughter, and makes the teenagers deaths almost a relief - at least they won't have any more bad lines. A thought followed by your recognition of empathy for the serial killers - which lasts about a second before you see the dead people still decomposing in the house. At which point you shut the damn thing off. Congrats to those who finished watching this movie. Your stomachs are iron-clad and your resistance to the fight or flight response is impressive. Although you might consider that psychiatric evaluation you've always wanted.

1. Saw (2004) Call me chicken if you like - I didn't finish this one either. The combination of gore, deadly machines, and puppets was too much to bear. Maximum fear-levels were reached within the first 45 minutes. If you have a personal vendetta against me, please - get a clue, and show up at my door in a scary puppet or clown costume. Again, it's not so much the movie itself, as the mental images and physical memory of what puppets, mimes, and clowns alike have done to torture the lowly coulrophobics of the world.

Surely I am not the only one who sees the link between the Billy the Puppet from Saw, and the infamous Pennywise? It isn't even a movie, it was a TV miniseries. Which meant mass visual consumption of the old, "clown in the gutter with teeth" bit. Go talk to the residents of the nearest mental institution and they'll tell you - clowns are the ultimate in scary.

There is no such thing as a funny, cute, or entertaining clown. They're just positioning you for attack. Run "horror movies with clowns" through the Google machine and see what you get - a ton of freaky clown movies that you'll never want to see. And why? Because clowns are infinitely more scary than just about any other monster there is. Their evil comes from feeding on the happiness of children. Which is why, if you are going to try to effectively make someone lose bowel control in the face of fear, you absolutely must be dressed as a clown. It doesn't even need to be scary, as clowns are innately so.

To embody any of these monsters prior to, on, or in advance of Halloween (just to mess with people's minds) you might want to check out http://www.buyscaryhalloweencostumes.com/. They carry costumes for most of the monsters I've just covered in the top five. Unfortunately, viewing their scary clown page was a little too much, so I'm going to go hug my knees and rock myself to my happy place now. Happy movie monster viewing, top five list creating, and Halloween costume planning!

Costumes For Dogs on Halloween

When choosing costumes for dogs on Halloween many may think this is a simple task. Those who have made the attempt already know the task is many things but simple in not one of them. Costumes for dogs require many considerations that must be addressed. Some may think that is has to do with the way the dog looks. One thing for sure the way the dog looks is far from the most important issue.

To pull this off the task is going to require some thought especially if you prefer the process to not be a nightmare. With some though and planning Halloween can be fun for the dog and the whole family.

You need to be aware of the things that can go wrong. Especially if you choose the wrong dog costume on Halloween, safety, too restrictive and many factors must be considered first. Does the costume have choking hazards? With the dog be able to easily go to the bathroom? There could be parts of the Halloween costume that will cause the dog to trip and fall? There are many things to consider first. The dog may just refuse to wear the costume or be too restricting for the dog. That being the case it is possible the dog could just tear off the costume even before you are off to the event.

Some of the other things to look into first would be quality, sizing and the overall design for the dog. Sizing requires careful measurements too loose or too tight can be a mess also. If you are buying a costume for the dog they provide measurements to help you select the right size. The online resources will provide recommendations for small medium and large dogs and instruction for taking measurements.

All costume designs will just not work for all dogs. Most dog costumes will come with a recommendation for what type of dogs the costume can be worn by. There are many shapes, sizes and breeds not to mention the personality of the dog to consider. Dog costumes that have a lot of parts can be problems for dogs that are energetic. Energetic dogs will do much better with something simple and in one piece. As you begin to search for the right Halloween costume for your dog especially online you will quickly start to make sense of all the recommendations.

Pay attention to detail and quality if your dog is quite and behaves well a lower cost costume may work very well. For the more energetic dogs requires a little more quality that is a little better made, so it stands up to a little more rigorous activity. After all you do want the costume to last the night without falling apart.

Halloween has become a very popular holiday and today people include of family dog in the festivities more and more. We are even starting to see larger selections of Halloween costumes for cats which we never thought we would see.

Kid's Pirate Costumes - How To Get Through Halloween Without Being Forced To Walk The Plank

"Walk the plank yer scurvy dog," yelled my six year old son from the end of the hallway. I had a sneaky feeling he was talking to me, but I wasn't going to humour him. "Or I'll scuttle yer longboat," he added. There was a definite noise of that plastic sword I'd given him for his birthday whacking the door of his room. "I wanna be a pirate for Halloween, okay mom?" And he shut his door again.

Halloween. Here it comes again. Are you ready? Each year I tell myself I'm going to be ready this year, and every year October takes me completely by surprize. I guess you know the feeling. But at least I know what kind of a costume to organise this year. I have my orders...

My first thought when faced with making a kid's pirate costume is to do it myself. Torn off jeans, a scraggly old t-shirt, a red bandana and that plastic sword. Maybe an eye-patch and some black boots. You could grab all that from a thrift shop for about five dollars. That would have been what we would have worn when we were kids. But not so much these days. You would have to have been dead these last few years not to have noticed the furore created by Jerry Bruckheimer in the way of pirates. Johnny Depp and those pirates of the Caribbean have so much to answer for. Not more cheapo Halloween kids pirate costumes for you! Oh no. Hand over yer gold, ye scallywags.

I have the added fun of having a four year old daughter who has been kidnapped by her pirate captain brother and totally converted to a life of crime and scullduggery. There was no such thing as a "Pirate Princess" in my day. I remember Captain Hook, Smee the first mate, a blood-thirsty lot of uglies and a parrot. The only girls involved were Tinkerbell - a fairy who hardly counts - and Wendy, a good girl, with her head screwed on properly and a decent respect for her parents. There were no 'wenches' - not in the kind of pirate stories I knew about when I was four! And certainly no Pirate Princesses! I suppose an Elizabeth Swann costume has to be dashed up now. Or a hot pink number with black skulls on the skirt. What do pirate princesses wear, anyway?

Thank me piratical stars for the internet, is all I can say. I'll be jumping online and handing over my gold to the best seller of online kids pirate costumes I can find. What harm can it do? The range is fantastic, they deliver to your door and best of all you can show the little buccaneers exactly what they're getting on screen first before you buy it. If I hear any cries of "But I don't like my costume," I swear I'll make them all walk the plank.

How To Choose The Perfect Toddler Halloween Costumes

Finding toddler Halloween costumes is almost too much fun for us parents. There are just so many styles available in toddlers costumes and kids make these outfits look oh so good when they're wearing them. Let's face it, there are so many cool costumes out there that just don't look right on adults but they look fabulous on the kids!

I think the most fun thing for parents is that toddlers are generally too young to pick their own costumes so this is our chance to pick one for them. You can dress your child in a costume that suits their own personality, or even pick a costume that matches your own for a duo-style parent/child paired costume. Take your time while shopping and you'll soon see that a wise choice will allow your little one to be in the spotlight all night long.

One of the most sought after and most popular themes for toddler Halloween costumes is animals. We all know how much kids love animals and there are many animal costumes that your child can wear. Anything having to do with the jungle is well loved and the lions, tigers, elephants, and monkeys seem to catch eyes. You can also go more whimsical and choose animals such skunks, dragons, unicorns, and the new and exciting My Little Pony are also wonderful choices for toddler costumes.

If you want to go out dressed as a team with your toddler, there are many Halloween costumes that can be turned into parent/child sets easily, or you can buy such a set. Star Wars is huge right now, and many parents like dressing up as a character from the movie such as Darth Vader and dressing their toddler up as Yoda. Or maybe a woman will dress up as Amidala and dress her little girl up in a Princess Leia costume.

Other movie and character themes are also easy to get and fun to wear. Movies such as Toy Story, Iron Man, and others have both adult and toddler's Halloween costumes available. The muscle man costumes are so cool when paired with the adult versions and the Toy Story Woody and Jessie are so cute in their pair's outfits. This makes it easy to find a character for each of you.

Obviously, there are also all the classic Halloween costumes that come in toddler sizes. Spooky witches, tiny vampires, and little Devils are all very popular if you are looking for a more "scary" or dark costume. Many people like doing this because it fits their toddler's personalities so well, and adorable kids in scary costumes are just a fun combination. And don't miss out on this year's really cool light up costumes that sparkle in the night!

Princesses and knights are also easy to find if you are looking for brighter Halloween costumes. Raggedy Anne and Andy costumes aren't as popular these days, but this can be a fun new twist on an old theme. Your child might also have a favorite character from a DVD or a TV series. Finally, characters from popular childrens shows such as Winnie the Pooh and Sesame Street are also all-time favorites of just about everyone. Monsters Inc is another popular theme this year.

As you can see, finding toddler Halloween costumes is easier than you may have originally thought. Think about your child's individual personality, their interest in popular cartoons, characters, or animals, and then consider whether you would like to dress as a parent/child duo and then you'll be able to easily make your choice. The hard part comes when you only get to choose only one Halloween costume for them to wear on the big night!

There's no doubt that one of the most popular toddler Halloween costumes is a Toddler Animal Costume. Kids love them and there's such a great variety to choose from. On the other hand, if you'd like to let everyone see how your kids can be naughty one minute and nice the next then you may want to take a look at the red hot Kids Devil Costumes. Whichever costume you choose, you kids will look adorable!

Cute & Original Women Halloween Costumes

There is always an undisclosed competition between women from a certain area for Halloween. Even though they do not say a word about it, each and every woman from a certain neighborhood does her best to have the cutest, most original costume, so that they will be the one who will get the most compliments and will be admired all night long.

Indeed, there is hardly any woman that is not interested in the way she will look for Halloween. However, there are times when the inspiration fails to appear and that person runs the risk of not finding the proper costume for the big Halloween day. If you are in such a position where your inspiration has failed you, read on and find out about two fantastic suggestions for this year's Halloween party.

There is a saying that when you look good you are really hot. Well, then demolish the saying and stun everyone with your sexy look this Halloween. An Eskimo costume will perfectly suit your purposes. There are plenty of outfits especially designed to set men's hearts on fire, so finding one that will work best for you should not be a problem.

You will also find these costumes are made with different fibers, so that if you live in a hot area you will not be too hot, whereas if you live in a temperate or cold area you will not freeze for good in your Halloween costume. This is a great costume if you want to be different this Halloween, as there are not many people thinking about dressing up in an Eskimo costume, so there is a great chance that you will be the only one! Lucky you! You will not have to share your compliments with anybody else!

If you are nostalgic over your childhood or you are still watching those popular cartoons which made your childhood such a happy time, you can choose to be one of the characters from there. You will go back in time and be a little girl again! Your relatives will spoil you and you will certainly get whatever you want, no matter what that is.

A Daphne costume will be a perfect disguise as you will not only go back in time, but you will also be a stylish and good looking girl! When the other guests at the party see you in your purple mini dress, they will certainly forget that you are only a "little girl" this Halloween and will admire you like the real woman you are! Quite flattering if you come to think about it!

So, if you want to be different this Halloween, try one of these outfits and you will definitely amaze everyone with your originality and great taste! There will be no other like you in the entire neighborhood, so you will certainly win the competition this Halloween!

How to Find Cheap Halloween Costumes

Pre-Halloween Sales
Year-round Halloween stores experience a huge jump in their business once the leaves start turning colors and the summer heat fades. In order to keep their businesses from going under the rest of the year, many store offer summer sales to help move out old inventory in preparation for the new costumes coming in. This can be a great time to pick up a cheap costume for the coming Halloween season.

Post-Halloween Sales
Once Halloween is over, some retailers are left with extra costume's sitting on the shelves. These costumes have to go before the store's lease runs out, so they usually sell them at a greatly discounted price. This strategy applies mostly to brick and mortar stores, but some online stores will look to clear space in the warehouse immediately after Halloween as well. If you're not too pick, and you're willing to stash your costume in the closet for a whole year, you can find some great post-Halloween bargains.

Buying Online
Shopping online has disadvantages, you don't get to try things on and you normally have to pay shipping, but you can also find cheaper costumes than in many of the stores that pop up around Halloween. Online stores also offer huge selections, and you don't have to wait in line or battle with a crazed shopper to find a cheap costume.

Using Coupons
Many online stores will offer coupons that can be used to save extra money on costumes. These coupons are sometimes available through promotions, or through the company's website. Social media pages have also become popular for coupon distribution, so check a company's Facebook or Twitter page before you buy from them. Obtaining these coupons usually doesn't require more than "liking" the company.

Trades
Although you've been a vampire the last two years, your best friend may not have. Trading costumes is a great way to get more use out of a costume that you've loved, and to save money. If you have friends who live far away, you can trade costumes for only the cost of postage, making for a very cheap costume. This works especially well for elaborate costumes that can be traded and then returned.

The Last Minute
If you're brave enough, you can wait until a day or two before Halloween or even the day of to try and score a bargain. By this time most of the Halloween stores will have been picked clean, and what is left is just a few scraps of cloth and some fake blood. These cheap costumes may make great additions to homemade designs, and occasionally you can find a real gem that was tucked into a back corner.

Make Your Own
Homemade costumes are great way to save money, but without planning you can end up spending more than you anticipated. When making a cheap costume yourself, consider the time spent designing the costume, shopping for the fabrics, and putting the costume together. While this may be an enjoyable experience, a costume that took 25 hours to make and only saved you $10 may not be economical.

Enjoy Yourself
Halloween isn't always about having the flashiest costume or the scariest mask, and most of the time you can have fun with a simple and cheap costume. Make sure that you're comfortable in your costume and that you're spending the holidays with friends and you'll have a memorable Halloween.

Avatar Costumes For Kids - The Ideal Outfit Can Be Yours

Avatar is a movie that adults and children around the world have come to love. With its award winning cinematography, special effects and memorable characters, it is no wonder that children are fascinated with the characters. Here are some tips to help you make your own avatar costumes for kids.

Chances are, if your child is a girl, they will want to dress up as Neytiri. Most boys will want to dress as Jake Sully. Some girls may want to dress as the Avatar of Dr. Grace Augustine. Whichever role your child wants to play, it can be easy for them to dress up as a character from Avatar.

For girls who want to be Neytiri, you will need a blue full body bodysuit, as well as a long braided wig, a cloth "apron", a gauntlet, as well as beaded necklaces and bracelets. You could put all this together yourself, however, it is very easy to find this costume at a reputable costume shop. Most of the prepared costumes also include a tail, and feathers and other elements of the costume to make it as real as possible

The Jake Sully Avatar costume is one that can be purchased from a costume shop. However, it is also easy to put together from many boys' current wardrobes. With a blue turtleneck, a pair of black shoes, some khaki pants and a field or expedition jacket, you have almost all you need for your costume. As with the Neytiri costume, you will need a wig or to braid your son's hair to get the full effect. However, many of the Sully costumes include a mask. It is your choice if you have your child wear one or not.

While not many children would dress as Dr. Grace Augustine, the researcher and teacher, it would offer children an opportunity to dress up without feeling self conscious or feeling "naked". To Neytiri's typical costume, slip on a pink or white tank top and a pair of jeans.

While masks are available for both Jake and Neytiri, the real beauty of this costume can be in how you interpret your child's personality and make it shine in their make up. Use a blue body paint as a base coat and apply it to your child's neck, face, lips and ears. Now make dark stripes that look like a zebra or a cat on their face, then add light colored dots in between the stripes. You can add prosthetic ears or simply make them out of paper and attach them with bobby pins.

While many of the Avatar costumes for kids, especially the Sully costumes offer your child the ability to use a mask, remember to safety while trick or treating. Masks offer limited visiblility, making it difficult for children to see and be seen. Trick or treat in groups, preferably with an adult.

Hippie Halloween Costumes Are Groovy For 2010!

So you want to dress up this Halloween and you're just not sure of what it is will get you feelin' good about your costume choice. Well think about how a Hippie Halloween costume would fit you. The best thing about getting into a Hippie costume is that they are just so much fun to accessorize. Not talking about the actual outfits themselves right now...let's look at the accessories.

What are the theme's that Hippie Halloween costumes play off of? Well, you have your Flower Power, Peace Symbols, Happy Faces and so on. Some great accessories are the Hippie sunglasses. Perfect circle lenses in all kinds of colors. Even sunglasses with peace signs on the front....groovy baby...groovy.

Also you have the peace sign necklaces and peace sign earrings. There's even peace sign shoe clips! We could go on and on...and the Hippie party supplies have even more choices.

When my two children, my girlfriend and myself dressed up three years ago as hippies, we had a blast! I actually let my hair grow for the whole year. The longest it's ever been, way past my ears and the bangs came past my nose. My girlfriend did this thing where she straightened her hair, man she looked (looks) hot. My kids opted to wear wigs. Our outfits just tied everything together perfectly. I got a simple shirt and hippie vest, head band, necklaces and bracelets and used my own ripped jeans and sandals. My girlfriend did her jeans too, but sewed on some peace patches here and there. The kids got full blown costumes. We loved it so much, we're doing it again this year...and my kids will need new costumes...but that's ok.

Now, if you're a couple thinking about taking the Hippie plunge and by all means I'm sure you'll look darn good doing so...you may even want to consider hosting a Halloween party using the wild hippie decorations to keep your theme playing out throughout your home. I'm sure all your friends would love to join in on the fun. And even more fun is having everyone bring a carved pumpkin to the party and lighting them outside when it gets dark out. The kids will love it!

Cheers and have a safe and groovy Halloween baby!

The problem is that most great costumes are expensive, and many people can't even afford to buy their favorite Halloween apparel because of the high prices. Regular retailers have been taking advantage of the prices wealthier individuals are willing to pay for costumes and are raising costume prices. Online retailers on the other hand have been bringing down prices, and they're now the cheapest and quickest way to buy your Halloween clothing.

Buying Online - Some Guidelines

1) Make Sure it's exactly what you wanted. A lot of times costumes will have exact specifications as to what they look like and what they come with. Read the description carefully and don't buy something you don't really like; there are plenty of other option available in an online store.

2) Make sure you know your size. Make sure you get your exact measurements and figure out which costume size fits you best. Nothing is worse than a costume that doesn't fit you right.

4) Buy from a reliable online retailer. Nothing is worse than getting scammed in an online transaction, and to prevent this you should always use a well-reputed online costume dealer.

One online s I really recommend that I've nothing but great experiences with is http://dascheap.com/. They sell quality stuff cheap, and ship out fast. Follow these 4 guidelines and you'll be well on your way to buying cheap Halloween costumes. that have the quality of the more expensive alternatives.

Scary Halloween Costumes Are a Must for Halloween!

Scary Halloween Costumes are an important ingredient for any successful Halloween party or Trick or Treat night. Ever since this holiday came on the calendar people have been intrigued by spooky outfits such as the mummy Halloween costume and the skeleton Halloween costume.

Kids in school have a strong interest in mummies as they study these scary creatures in school. Even the term "mummy" has an interesting meaning. Did you know it is an Arabic word that stands for black gooey stuff?

Also modern day wrapping of a broken limb comes from the wrappings of a mummy. How cool is that for a kid. They can become a mummy with the aid of a cool costume!

Skeletons have been spooky for as long as anyone can remember. Even the mention of a skeleton brings up thoughts of old abandoned graveyards with fog and spider webs.

Skeleton costumes have been a favorite of the young and old for years and show no signs of slowing down!

If your child loves to dress up, you may want to consider a spooky Halloween costume that doesn't have all the blood and guts of the modern day outfits. I don't know about you, but I would rather treat a Trick or Treater who is wrapped up like a mummy or who looks great as a skeleton, than one of these masked characters with blood oozing down their face.

I think mummies and skeletons are a nice compromise between the kid who wants to be spooky and the mom and dad who don't want to go overboard into gross.

Of course big boys and girls like to dress up for Halloween as well and there are mummy and skeleton costumes for big guys and girls as well. Have fun!

Medieval Irish Halloween Costumes - A Fun And Popular Choice

With the grown popularity in Medieval themed Halloween costumes, and the interest in Irish history, putting the two together with a mix of historical facts and mythology can produce some stunning Halloween costume ideas for Men, Women and Children. With the garments worn during this era, finding amazing costumes should be easy.

Ireland has a rich cultural history that the Medieval era is often over looked. All over Europe, Medieval fashion was different in styles and designs, but the two main styles really would have been " The Rich and The Poor". During Medieval times in Ireland, the clothing worn consisted of two main items, the Leine and The Brat.

The Leine

The Leine was a smock like garment, could be either sleeveless or with fitted sleeves that fell beautifully above the ankles. The neckline, cuffs and hemline usually had embroidered designs, and the arms, neck and chest would have a looser fit which would allow workers to slip the garment down to the waste during a hot day. The longer the length, the higher your social status was seen.

The Brat

The Brat was a rectangular cloak mostly made from wool and was worn like a shawl. A pin would be used to fasten it at the neck or shoulder. It was a large and roomy garment that when moved about could be made into a hood. The Brat was normally dyed the one color with a border of another color and like the Leine the length determined a higher social status.

The material used to make garments changed with social class. The majority of the population been of lower class usually used wool and linen while silk and satin, having to be imported, could only be afforded by the rich.

Most Irish clothes at the time were brightly colored, patterned or striped. While these were the clothes normally associated with the people of the country, the other clothing around would also have been of Irish soldiers and English Knights.

In the country side, where the Irish ancient Brehon law still ruled, Irish Kings paraded around in their greatest fashion at the time, and monks wandered the countryside it their brown colored robes and hoods.

All this clothing of this Irish era makes way for some unique quality Halloween and fancy dress party ideas. With great Dresses and garments for women, Irish King and warrior costumes for Men but especially little boys, and Monks and Druid costumes, gives us a huge choice and excellent options to get the ancient yet stunning look of the Irish Celts or Medieval people, and stand out this Halloween in a truly unique way.
