Halloween
I was at Lowes the other day and some children asked me to push a button on a vampire bat that was hanging on an end isle, where all the Halloween items were…
and when I pressed the wing…it began vibrating and screeching!
Well….It caught me by surprise and I jumped like a silly girl…and then the little children ran away laughing!
Oh, the funny things that Halloween gives us.
Ghost and Goblins, Candy Corn, Pumpkins, Spider Webs, Skeletons, Mummy’s, Coffins, Grave Yards, Black Cats, Haunted Houses and more…
As children we love to dress up and go trick or treating door to door in hopes of getting loads of candy and then as adults we love going to haunted houses and having our Halloween parties that scare us and make us do things we normally wouldn’t do.
As a teenager I remember one year where me and my two brothers made our own costumes and then went to the local department store where they were having a Halloween costume contest.
One of brothers made his own Darth Vader costume and won 1st place!
Me and my other brother won smaller prizes with our homemade costumes too. I was a Hobo and my other brother was a Mummy. I dug through my daddys clothes and found some things that made me look like a hobo lost on the streets of New York. I dont remember what my brother used to makes his mummy costume but he was totally wrapped up in what I remember to be toilet paper from head to toe!
Vampires are the trendy subject these days and with the latest in huge box office hits it has brought the ever popular Vampire back in….but in a more sexy seductive way.
Making all women want to have their necks exposed with hopes of a sexy vampire taking a bite.
The Vampire is also an easy costume to make instead of buying one as well as the following costumes that I thought of that you just need to be creative with clothing in your own closet or your friends, make-up and a few other odd and ends you can find in your home or garage.
…Other cool ideas for homemade costumes are…Dead or Alive Cheerleader, Dirty or Drunk looking Hobo, Mummy, Spice girl, Dead Bride, Hulk, Ghost or Angel
Movies…
As far as movies that come out around Halloween!
We find so much fun to watch scary movies but then we are scared to death and close our eyes half the time.
…Halloween movies sure have changed since I was a kid.
…I look at Jason and Friday the 13th now as an adult now and I want to laugh!
That sure doesn’t compare to todays scary movies like Chain Saw Massacre and all the Saw movies!
However, if Jason shows up in my bedroom with a chain saw…or jumping out of the bayou, I can guarantee you that I will run as fast as I can.
I don’t know what it is about chain saws and Halloween, but they sure do scare people around Halloween….but oddly enough not during Hurricane Season.
Costumes… have changed, due to the latest movie or characters in the spotlight but some traditional characters still hold their own. Here are some of the top costumes of the year.
Top Halloween costumes 2009 year are:
~Baby’s – the traditional costumes are Pea in the Pod, Minnie Mouse and Bunny costumes.
