Crazy Costume Ideas for Halloween

Even though Halloween is a time when people get the chance to be whoever they like and have fun dressed up in their cute or horrific costumes, many people choose to stay on the same line of traditional costumes, sometimes even wearing the same costume over and over again, until it is no longer wearable.

But on the other hand, there are also people for whom Halloween is a challenge for finding new, exciting costumes that will propel them into the spotlight each and every time. If your friends have all eyes on you waiting for another costume that will make their Halloween day more beautiful, then you should not betray their expectations. Below are some ideas which may help you maintain your reputation of the Mr. or Mrs. of the Original Halloween Costume.

Youngsters and adults all get together in front of the TV when Sesame Street starts. If you used to watch that show too you can get your inspiration from there and create the best disguises you have ever had: the Cookie Monster. Whether you are a child, a woman or a man, you can find a Cookie Monster costume specially designed for your size and your preferences. The blue little monster eating everything that stays in its way will certainly have lots of positive comments all night long. In fact, it will be quite hard for someone to refrain from laughing when seeing you dressed in such a funny costume. In addition to that, you will have a great excuse if you feel like eating all day long this Halloween!

If Sesame Street is not to your taste, you can try to find some inspiration from the underwater world. The red lobster costume will certainly not remain unnoticed no matter where you decide to go this Halloween. Thus, it can be the perfect costume if you want to amaze and at the same time put a smile on the face of the entire party.

There will be nobody who can resist your charms and even though you may have some troubles with your numerous hands, you will still feel comfortable in this costume. Plus, you can always put your arms on the lady's waist without her knowing if you did it on purpose or it was just another arm from the lobster which got lost in the crowd! Quite a cheek, some may say!

These two costumes can be great if you are searching for something which will never be forgotten along the years! You will get lots of comments and will get to keep your reputation, at least until next year, when another challenge will torment your mind!

Five Monster Fun Halloween Ideas

So are you thinking maybe you want to have a Halloween party or maybe want to impress a group of friends by bringing a creepy, unique looking Halloween dish that will be quite a conversation piece?

Here are some fun easy ideas that can make ready-made foods into awesome festive snacks people will love.

1. Ritzy the snake. You got it, ritz crackers, with a touch of M & M minis, black ball nonpareils, used to decorate cookies which can be found in any grocery store, laffy taffy and peanut butter. Stretch out a line of ritz crackers just as you would a falling line of dominos join each ritz cracker together with peanut butter, with the last ritz cracker laying down flat and half a ritz cracker up right in the middle of the flat cracker, this will be used as the snakes face. Use the M & M minis as the snake eyes with the black ball nonpareils as the tiny eyeball pupils and as the snake nostrils. The M & M minis can be used as buttons on every other ritz cracker on the snakes body with the peanut butter as the glue. Cut a long, narrow strip of either green or red laffy taffy as the snakes slithery tongue, creating a small hole as the mouth to place the laffy taffy in and tah dah, an adorable decorative snake sure to be a conversation piece.

2. The green evil eye. Use carved out green apples with gummy fruit pieces as eyeball parts and black frosting as eyebrows and pupils with white frosting as accent and to act as the glue. Begin with a nice crispy green apple at room temperature making it easier to carve a round shallow hole out and making it easy for parts to stick together, place a gummy fruit circle in the middle of the carved out hole in the apple using the white frosting as the glue and painting the gummy fruit circle black with the black frosting. In the center of the black painted gummy fruit circle build up an eyeball with the white frosting, put a black dot in the center of the white eyeball with the black frosting or maybe use a dark-chocolate chip as the dot if that would be easier. Use a cake decorating tool to paint a black frosting eyebrow around the top of the carved apple edge or maybe a black ready-to-use fondant, a cake-decorating ingredient available in craft stores if drawing is not your thing. You can create as many evil apple eyes as you like and all pieces and parts are edible.

3. Brains, gooey brains. Peeling away the rind, use a honeydew melon to create a very realistic monsterous brain. Use a paring knife or an X-Acto knife to cut deep slashes or deep long cuts into it, just as you see on a human brain. Then place the melon into a large mixing bowl. In a second mixing bowl, mix up four 3-ounce packages of strawberry-flavored or a red Jell-o of your choice, per the directions given on the back of the package. Pour the Jell-0 over the melon until the deep grooves are each filled and the melon is completely covered with the gelatin. Refrigerate overnight, then scoop out the size of melon, or brain you desire, with a large spoon or spatula and scrape away some of the gelatin.

4. Ghostly. This little decorative idea is very simple, but soo much fun. Use a clear plastic or glass drinking glass, fill it up with milk. Decorate the drinking glass with black fabric tape or with black electrical tape cutout eyes. Cut out oval dots in the desired eye size, then cut a C-shape at the top corner of the oval black dot, and place them 3 or 4 inches down from the top edge of the drinking glass. Simple, yet very cute little ghosts.

5. Monster spiders. Begin this little project with a dark chocolate clear plastic dessert cup for the spider body, and fill it with ready-made dark chocolate mousse, piped from a decorating bag fitted with a 1 m tip. Break chocolate-covered pretzels into pieces to use as spider legs. Use a chocolate truffle as the arachnid head and attach small candy icing eyeballs with a tiny amount of melted chocolate in the center of the white candy eyeball. Use melted chocolate as the glue to attach each piece. On the spiders back, use 4 or 5 brightly colored red or orange M & M minis and line them up in a straight line as a creepy spider spine. Before placing the spider on a plate, use a white plate and with a bamboo skewer draw long u-shaped lines of raspberry and yellow mango dessert sauces on the entire plate to look like a large web, then place the spider in the middle of the plate. Tah dah, a gnarly looking edible spider.

What Is the Origin of Halloween?

Halloween is a very popular holiday for young and old alike. It is second to only Christmas! It is a holiday that is steeped in a truly fascinating history and folklore. So, where did this holiday come from? What is the origin of Halloween?

All Hallows Eve was originally a pagan holiday to honor the dead and has been in existence in some form or another for over 2,000 years. It can be traced back to the Druids, a Celtic culture in England and Ireland.

Halloween takes place on October 31, which is the last day of the Celtic calendar. The roots of the holiday lay in the feast of Samhain. Samhain would signify the end of the summer and the beginning of the new Celtic year. It was a large harvest festival that had many ceremonial rites that were mostly steeped in superstition.

The Celtics thought that the souls of the dead would roam the streets of the villages at night. Knowing that not all of these spirits were friendly, they started leaving out gifts and treats to pacify the evil spirits. They felt that if the spirits were appeased then the following years crops would be plentiful. This is the custom that evolved into today's trick or treating.

Halloween, as we know it today, is derived from mostly Old English era traditions. This includes the carving of jack 'o lanterns and bobbing for apples. Regardless of your traditions, Halloween can be great fun to be shared with family and friends.

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!
