Yes, it obnoxiously comes with a hand pump so if your friends don’t get it the first time you can pump up the volume a little bit and watch their jaws drop!

Traditionally, Halloween costumes were scary and frightful as they were actually designed to ward off evil spirits.  As the years have gone by, however, Halloween has evolved quite a bit.  Nowadays, it’s commonplace to see just about anything costume-wise out there on Halloween, including some get ups that are very unique as well as bizarre.  If you are a more conventional costumer, don’t worry–you will definitely be in good company this Halloween.  IF, however you feel like stepping out of the box (just a little) you might want to get a load of some of these:

Skeleboner Costume :  Even if you are fairly conservative, you might actually get away with this look because at first glance, it just looks like a really cool skeleton costume.  On closer inspection, however, the addition of a lower appendage to this bag of bones is going to get you a definite double take.  Yes, it obnoxiously comes with a hand pump so if your friends don’t get it the first time you can pump up the volume a little bit and watch their jaws drop!

Virgin Mary Costume:  Nothing says Halloween like the Virgin
Mother of Jesus Christ, right?  If your party needs a little spiritual overhaul, perhaps this costume is worth considering.

Kiss-Tiny Demon Costume:  Every small child’s dream on Halloween–to go trick or treating with a giant tongue that would even make Gene Simmons jealous.  There is nothing like a 2-year old running around with the sign of the horns to make your Halloween extra creepy!

... because in this get up, you are going to surely be the saggiest, baggiest hag ever.

Mummy’s Boy Costume:  If you are one, you probably know it.  On the off chance your mommy isn’t available to attend your planned Halloween gig, here’s a sure-fire way to bring her along and dress as the little child that you really are at the same time. 

Love Boat’s Julie McCoy Costume:  Guaranteed to have people questioning you all night as to ‘who or what you are’–have your best lines ready.  “Shut up or swim” comes to mind.  Or just welcome them aboard the ship bound for true ‘love’.

Man Eating Shark Costume:  This one is especially clever when worn by a woman.  Hey, it happens–a beautiful girl leads a guy on, acts all sweet and nice, makes him feel like she really like him–then bam! It’s over.  She’s a man-eater! Not sure that was the intent the costume designer had in mind, but if the shark fits–wear it.

Droopers Costume:  Your purpose in life may just be to make all women in the room feel sexy and beautiful–because in this get up, you are going to surely be the saggiest, baggiest hag ever.   If this costume is your destiny–by all means fulfill it. 

No matter what your Halloween dreams are–go out and make them all come true.  With these costumes you can have some serious fun while you’re at it, too.

Lady Gaga is infamous for having had many elaborate, shocking as well as avant-garde hairstyles

Think about it, as far back as Cleopatra, people have become infamous for distinctive hair.  Thousands of years ago, just as it is today, hair was dyed, curled and styled in elaborate hairdo’s that represented the fashion and the culture of the time period.  Some of these hair looks would forever be indelibly etched into history.  Even now, you can’t think of certain celebrities without imagining the haircut or hairstyle that went along with them.  Audrey Hepburn, Farrah Fawcett, Jennifer Aniston or even Ariel, Disney’s popular animated red-head mermaid are all well known personalities that had hair that was legendary.  If you are trying to recreate a hot celebrity look this Halloween, getting the hair look just right is going to be a critical part of your costume.  Our collection of celebrity-inspired wigs is going to go a long way in getting the hair exactly perfect.  Here are some ideas to get you started:

Katy Perry:  When Katy Perry wore a bright blue wig to the 2010 MTV movie awards, she admitted that she was paying a bit of homage to the Smurfs movie that she was starring in, as she was playing the role of “Smurfette.”   Whether you just want to dress a bit bold like Katy Perry, or you have a thing for the Smurfs yourself, our sassy (as well as very blue) wig is the perfect way to get a modern, sexy, get-you-noticed look for your ultimate Halloween costume. 

Lady Gaga:  Lady Gaga is infamous for having had many elaborate, shocking as well as avant-garde hairstyles throughout her career.  Ms. Gaga’s hair has been coiffed like bows, buttons, and tousled poufs as well as dyed bright yellow.  Undoubtedly, there will never be a single hairdo that you can attach to this pop star chameleon, but our Lady Gaga wigs cover a wide enough range so that you can pick your favorite look to accentuate your costume.  You can even use our Greaser wig as an option if you want to dress up as Lady Gaga’s famous male alter ego, Jo Calderone.  No matter which wig look you choose, these wigs are really worth going Gaga for.

Whether you are a Jersey Shore fan or not, this cast of characters has made their mark on media and their looks are undeniably ‘out there’.

Jersey Shore:  Whether you are a Jersey Shore fan or not, this cast of characters has made their mark on media and their looks are undeniably ‘out there’.  If you want a hilarious celebrity-inspired costume idea, dressing up as one of the Jersey Shore’s hot, tan as well as crazy cast members is going to get you lots of attention.  Having the hair just right will help you get your point across.  From Pauli D’s perfect slicked back hair, to Snooki’s sleek long locks with a perfectly placed beehive bump, these wig looks are the perfect compliment to your ‘guido’ or ‘guidette’ Jersey shore ensemble.

Justin Bieber: If you are looking to make teenage girls swoon or just make fun of those that do, you simply gotta have the right “do”.  This style has brought hair infamy to good ol’ Justin and the look can be yours, too, quite simply with this Tween Dream Wig.  This Halloween there is likely to be at least one less lonely girl when you take your pop star icon look to the stage with this perfectly coifed, Bieber-ish wig along with your best rendition of “Baby”. 

No matter what your pop star or celebrity dreams are this Halloween, get the hairstyles just right and you will be well on your way to pulling off the perfect costume look while portraying your favorite popular personality. 

1. Are you a Simpson’s fan?  What could be more hilarious than a night spent as Duffman, the pelvic thrusting spokesman and mascot for the Duff Beer Company.  Outfitted in his standard uniform of blue and red tights and cape, Duffman and his bulging musculature wear the “DUFF” logo proudly, smack in the center of his massive, ripped chest.  Duffman’s very handy utility belt is fully loaded with several cans of beer.  “Oh yeah!!!”
2. All right, it’s funny and maybe some might think a little crude, too– but if you aren’t afraid of a little out ‘n out obnoxious humor, this Beaver Hunter get up might be just for you.  With bright orange safety vest emblazoned with “1st Annual Beaver Hunt, Load Up Your Pistol And Head To The Bush; We Gonna Snatch Us Some Beaver” –yeah, you might be a red neck but you are definitely going to get your point across. 
3. Ever just sat around and pondered what it might be like to be a 500 lb. Sumo Wrestler?  Well folks, here is your chance to find out and you don’t even have to enlist in the special Sumo Wrestler training camp in order to do it.  This unique inflatable costume is going to instantly morph you into a very large and very intimidating (well, maybe) Sumo god that is ready to take on any and all opponents.  Just make sure they aren’t wearing any sharp objects!
4. Are you ready to party?  Then perhaps you should just wear a costume that speaks for itself.  This “Ultimate Party Animal” is ready to get something fun started, beginning with some serious monkeying around.  With a no-monkey-biz Chimp mask, plaid shorts, and a shirt that says it all, your almost there.  Add the handy utility belt that will hold several cold brewski’s and you will be good to go for a night of just enjoying the real inner you.  Party on, you animal!



5. Ever heard of the 10 Commandments of partying?  Are you really a stickler for rules?  If so, you may very well be a candidate to be Party Moses and bring the 10 commandments of partying to the good people at your next Halloween function.  With commandments such as “Thou shalt always indulge in thy holy beverage, “ and “Thou shalt always …#&@!…I forget,” you will have all your friends begging for more of your kind of rules.  Take charge of your next gathering and bring them the holy word.

Okay, you funny guys, go get ‘em.  Be safe and sane, but be sure and make ‘em laugh.

Since obviously the media’s attention appears to be upon everything “wiener”—the good, the bad and the ugly, we are here to suggest that perhaps there is a kinder, gentler, (not to mention more appropriate) way to show off your inner hot dog. Before you go public with yours and do something truly regrettable, consider this wiener costume instead. It’s the perfect choice for your next 4th of July wienie roast or barbecue. You could also consider donning this outfit as a humorous alternative to wear for your online profile picture—although it’s possible that someone already may have beaten you to the punch. This hilarious get up could also be the perfect choice if you are considering dressing up as a Congressman for Halloween. This slightly irreverent, giant frankfurter costume is going to get you the attention you crave without any scandal whatsoever attached to it.

Being our wiener isn’t going to make you into front-page news or set the Internet on fire. You can however, go all out while hot-dogging it up with this appetizing, better than a foot-long rendition of one the best picnic foods of all time. Bun and condiments are included. This costume is a definite WIE-NER!

However, between now and Easter we do have a little holiday called St Patrick’s Day, you might have heard of it?  I love St Patrick’s Day!  Between the parades, the parties and the celebrations it’s one heck of a fun holiday!  Bring on the Leprechauns, shamrocks and green beer!  St Patrick’s Day is next Thursday, March 17th and whether your Irish or not, head on out and celebrate!  Your corner pubs will probably be serving Irish food, playing Irish music and of course serving green beer!

One of our all time favorite Halloween shows is by far, “It’s the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown“.  It’s a tradition in our family that goes way back to when I was young.  I hope my children watch it with their kids when they grow up and have their own families.  I know Charlie Brown will still be around even then!

Did you know that the Charlie Brown Halloween show has been on the air since October 1966?  It’s been on every year since then during the month of October.  That’s got to tell you something!  The show is adorable!  Who can resist Linus and his hope to see The Great Pumpkin? 

All the Peanuts characters are wonderful; Charlie Brown, Linus, Sally, Lucy, Peppermint Patty, Pig Pen, Marcie, Schroeder and of course Snoopy and Woodstock.  Charles Schulz really knew what he was doing when he invented all these great characters.

HalloweenExpress.com now has a whole line of Peanuts costumes that will make a great theme if you’re looking for group costumes or even if you’re going on your own.  Looking for a Charlie Brown costume, then look no further!  Go as the whole Peanuts gang for Halloween this year!
