I Want To Suck Your Blood!

Vampire Costumes

Vampire mania is back and bigger than ever!  With big screen movies like the Twilight Saga’s and HBO’s miniseries True Blood, vampires have been thrust into the limelight, or should I say the darkness.

Vampire Costumes

Vampire costumes have always been popular during the Halloween holiday.   Who hasn’t at one time or another either been a vampire or had a friend that was one.  When it comes to vampire costumes you see them in every shape, size and for every age group.  Young and old alike love to portray the evil vampire or vampiress that lives off the blood of others.  Ok, so maybe that’s getting a little creepy but hey, that’s what vampires do!  However, people dressed as vampires for Halloween don’t – they’re just out to have a gruesomely good time!

Movies like Twilight have turned those old ugly vampires from the past into good looking high school aged boys and girls and the kids love it.  All my nieces have seen the series of Twilight films and have read all the books.   It’s funny because even adults love the Twilight saga’s!

This Halloween the trend will definitely lean toward the blood thirsty vampires.   HalloweenExpress.com has all your vampire accessories!  What’s a vampire without his/her fangs, cape, nails, goth makeup and of course blood.  Whether you’re looking for an adult vampire costume or kids vampire costumes, you’ll find it here!

Toy Story Costumes

Toy Story Costumes

“To Infinity and Beyond”, gosh I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that over the years!  My son, Caden was obsessed with Toy Story and when he saw that they are bringing back Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D, well he was beside himself.  He had a Buzz Lightyear costume for Halloween a few years ago and wore it everyday for a year until it practically fell off him. 

To be honest I’m kind of looking forward to it too.  My husband and I loved the Toy Story films!  I know a lot of parents that saw the movie with their children and liked it as much as they did.  Just seeing all the different toys that we used to play with as a kids was cool enough for me.  I laughed throughout the whole movie! 

The 3D movie will only run in theaters for 2 weeks at two different times.  The first is October 2, 2009 and the second is February 12, 2010.  Both of these are in preparation for the release of TOY STORY 3 in Digital 3D on June 18, 2010.  Wow, we definitely can’t wait for that one to come out! 

Disney Pixar did such an amazing job with Toy Story!!  Even though it’s a computer animated movie, the characters are brought to life with their own funny and quirky personalities.   Of course the two main characters are Woody, the cowboy and Buzz Lightyear, the space ranger.  Here are a few other great characters that you couldn’t help but fall in love with.

  • Mr. Potato Head
  • Jessie (cowgirl)
  • Hamm (the piggy bank)
  • Bo Peep
  • Rex (T-Rex)
  • Slinky Dog

I even loved the army men in the beginning of the movie as they completed their covert mission of parachuting downstairs to find out what toy Andy got for his birthday.  The whole movie was a blast!

This year Toy Story costumes are going to be all the rage with children and adults alike with the 3D movies coming out.  Oh did I forget to mention that since adults love the movie so much they also love the costumes as well.  What a great idea for a couple costume – Buzz Lightyear and Woody OR Woody and Jessie.  They’re perfect and sure to win you first place in any Halloween costume contest!

If Your Child Acts Like An Animal, Dress Them As One!

Animal Costumes

Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my… 

Animal Costumes

As parents we’ve all had our share of seeing our children running around on all fours roaring like a lion pretending to be king of the jungle.  Children, especially boys,  love to pretend to be the big bad animals they see on television or in the movies.  Girls are usually a little more low key leaning toward the lady bugs, butterflies and the cute kitty cats.

Disney movies are a great inspiration to children when it comes to animals.  The Lion King, Bambi, Dumbo, Jungle Book and 101 Dalmations are just a handful of great Disney movies that portray animals in a way that make children fall in love with them.

A trip to the zoo lets your child’s imagination run wild with thoughts of elephants, tigers, pandas  and giraffes.   If your child loves animals, then wouldn’t an animal costume be the perfect Halloween costume for them?   When my son was young I dressed him in the cutest elephant costume I had ever seen.  It was adorable and everyone that saw him thought he was the cutest thing ever!

So this Halloween let your child pick from hundreds of the cutest Halloween animal costumes you’ve ever seen at HalloweenExpress.com.  They have every size available from infant and toddler to child sizes so there’s something for everyone!

A New Twist On Being A Bride!

Monster Bride Green

Kids Halloween costumes have come a long way since the vinyl one piece costumes with coordinating plastic masks.   Gotta love those plastic masks with the two small eye holes and even smaller mouth hole.  That elastic strap that went around the back of your head was classic.

Today, things are a little different or as I like to call it, updated.  The children’s costumes are mini versions of the adults with all the bells and whistles.  I love how one themed costume can take on different personas, such as; the Vampire – there is the classic Vampire, the evil vampire or the sweet vampire.  Same with the Fairy costume - there is the Pixie Fairy, the Devil Fairy or the Fairy Witch.

When I was little there were two things I wanted to be for Halloween, a princess or a bride.  The bride was one of my favorite costumes with the beautiful white dress and long veil.  Today HalloweenExpress.com has a slightly different take on the bride costume and the little girls are loving it!  Since Halloween has it’s roots in folklore and dead souls, why not add a little edge of creepiness to the ever popular bride costume.

  • Monster Bride
  • Skeleton Bride
  • Corpse Bride
  • Bride of Darkness

My favorite is the Monster Bride Costume.  You wouldn’t know it by the name but it really is adorable!  My daughter Sydney was the Monster Bride for Halloween last year and all her friends loved it.  This year it comes in two colors, white and green.  You have to get the accessories to complete the look, but your little girl will think it’s cool!
