Hello High School Musical 3: Senior Year!

Well, according to my daughter, it’s finally here - the movie release of High School Musical 3: Senior Year!  Her life is now complete!  If you haven’t heard of the Disney show High School Musical you either (a) don’t have children, or (b) have been living in a cave these past couple years.  

High School Musical was released on January 2006 and became the most successful movie that the Disney Channel ever produced.   However when the sequel High School Musical 2: Sing it all or nothing, was released in August 2007, it brought in nearly 10 million more viewers topping it’s predecessor making it the highest rated Disney Channel Movie to date.  Now one year later the third sequel is being released, but not on the Disney Channel.  This one is the first in the series to receive a big-screen launch and I’m sure it’s going to be huge!

It’s back to the East High Wildcats with Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad and Taylor for the trial and tribulations of their senior year in high school and the exciting idea of going off to college.  The movie is rated G and I love that because it’s something I can take my children to and not worry about covering their eyes and ears at certain points.  

This movie release is just in time for Halloween.  I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of Troy and Gabriella’s trick-or-treating this year!  At HalloweenExpress.com you’ll find all the High School Musical costumes!

 

What Kind of Queen are you?

The Kings of the world watch out!  There is a new breed of Queen’s out there and the Halloween season brings them out in full regal force!  

As we all know, a Queen is a woman who is considered the best or most important of her kind and keeping in line with that tradition, HalloweenExpress.com has by far the “best” queen costumes to make you feel like the “most important” queen ever! 

So what kind of Queen are you going to be this Halloween?

The beautiful Queen Gorgo costume from the movie “300″,

or perhaps a historical Elizabethan Queen costume,

everyone loves a Beauty Queen,

or every now and then we feel like a Wicked Queen,

or every mother’s nightmare, the Drama Queen,

or the highest monarchyof every household, The Queen Bee.

No matter what kind of queen you decide to be, HalloweenExpress.com has the costume you’re looking for.  Check out all of our Queen Costumes now!

Shiver Me Timbers – A Family of Pirates!

Ahoy, Matey!  Since the release of the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean” there has become a huge interest in life on the high seas.  Men, women, teens and toddlers all want to be part of the pirate world; captains, buccaneers, privateers and swashbucklers.  From the famous and infamous pirates in history such as Blackbeard and Calico Jack to Hollywoods more notorious rakes, Captain Hook and my favorite, Captain Jack Sparrow.

Pirate costumes are extremely popular this year and here at HalloweenExpress.com you’ll find them in every shape, style, color and size.  It’s a great theme to use if you’re looking for ideas for a family costume or if you’re going with a group of people.  So dress your whole family, mom, dad, brother, sister and even Fido in the finest Pirate costumes around!

Sexiest Celebrity Halloween Costume Disasters

Hey All!  Hank here.   Anna needed a short break from all this Halloween madness so I thought I’d write in her blog  — but from a guy’s point of view.   Personally, I think Anna takes this Halloween stuff a little too seriously so my topic today will be . . .  SEXY CELEBRITY HALLOWEEN COSTUME DISASTERS.  Yeah!  We’ll see what Anna thinks when she gets back. 

Every year Halloween comes around and the celebrity magazines are full of the worlds hottest glitterati strutting around as vampires, zombies, witches, and sometimes, each other. Of course, every year those of us who are not quite as hot, popular or wealthy get to mock them mercilessly.

How can these wonderfully attractive celebrities get their costumes so wrong? Surely with lookers such as these they could make any outfit work … right?    

What is my criteria?

  1. Sexy, not trashy preferred.
  2. Anything meant for a child is just … wrong.
  3. Goofy, dumb or idiotic … well, they have the rest of the year for that!

Let’s take a look …

Halloween FAIL – 15 Sexy Celebrities Halloween Costume Disasters

1. The Olsen Twins – The Olsens should be glad that in this case less really is more. Perhaps this was just another way to underline that they are not kids any more? Either way, I am sure they turned heads. Next time rent a complete costume each girls!

2. Alyssa Milano – Alyssa seems to have grabbed her costume from the under-fives section of the Disney store … not that I am complaining!

3. Mariah Carey – This is probably the scariest picture of the lot. Who wouldn’t be afraid being faced by an unhinged bride?

4. Anne Hathaway – Ms Hathaway falls under the “it could have been so much better” category.  An opportunity missed *sigh*.

5. Elisha Cuthbert – Poor Elisha, nobody understood what her costume was meant to be! I for one applaud her for stepping out in Clockwork Orange style.

6. Avril Lavigne – What on earth is Avril dressed as? Or is this her usual attire?

7. Heidi Klum – Heidi as the 6 foot tall rat from hell. Or is she meant to be a cat? Wingless vampire bat?

8. Reese Witherspoon – One of the more restrained attempts but she comes off as being dressed like a normal Goth rather than a celebrity in costume. Really, this outfit wouldn’t look out of place in some clubs any night of the year.

9. Teri Hatcher – Another theft from the children’s section, and here we even see the Toys R Us logo to prove it! She did however manage to squeeze into it. Valiant shoe horn efforts and robust stitching save the day. Just.

10. Paris Hilton – A famous party animal, Paris Hilton can be counted on to give a show. Just not sure how spooky she thought this little Alice in Wonderland number was meant to be.

11. Britney Spears – Poor Britney, I feel bad for all the harsh criticisms she has been forced to take, but man, she doesn’t make it easy on herself does she?

12. Christina Aquilera – Christina keeps it classy in the “Adult Entertainment” mail order catalogue standard “sexy nurse” outfit. Thankfully she somehow pulls it off despite her lack of creativity.

13. Lindsay Lohan – Lindsay left onlookers wondering if this is the before or after shot. Seriously though, was the theme merely substance abuse inflicted bad fashion sense or is there some concept behind this?

14. Kate Beckinsale – Actually, scratch this one, I rather like it! Hubba hubba …
