How cool would it be to be a Superhero for a day?  Well, now you can – at least for Halloween.  What better character to play than one that has super powers and strength?  Ok, you might not get the super power thing, but you can still put on the costume and look just like the Superhero of your choice!  There are so many different costumes and sizes that just about everyone from a toddler to an adult can be a Superhero.  Because there’s so many to choose from they’re great for individual, couple and group costumes.  You could have a whole family of Superheroes – even your dog can find a superhero costume!

Wonder Woman:  For all you women out there that feel you play the role of Wonder Woman all the time with going to work, raising kids, doing the laundry, cleaning, making dinners, etc…, why not actually be Wonder Woman in full gear for the night and get the respect you deserve?    Wonder Woman Halloween Costume   

Supergirl:  This is the woman who keeps Superman in line.  Why should he get to have all the fun?  Super Girl Halloween Costume

Batgirl:  This is one sexy Batgirl costume!  Once again, Batman’s better half.  Bat Girl Halloween Costume

Masked Beauty:  If Zorro had a gorgeous seductive female counterpart this would be her.  Mystery Hero Halloween Costume

But, hey let’s not forget about the guys!  Besides your everyday fantastic Superheroes such as, Superman, Spiderman and Batman you have a few Superheroes you don’t hear about that often.  But believe me when you put on any of the following costumes, no one will be forgetting them any time soon.

Captain America  Captain America Halloween Costume

The Incredible Hulk   Hulk Halloween Costume

What’s great about these costumes is that most of them come in child sizes too.  Check out all our Superheroes costumes for adults/teens and children.  This Halloween you can be one of the good guys!

Santa Claus at Halloween?

The costumes at Halloween Express are not just for trick-or-treating or costume parties during the Halloween season.  People need costumes for different reasons all year long, especially with all the other holidays we have throughout the year.  Whether it’s Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentines Day, Easter, Fourth of July, Mardi Gras or any other holiday, we have the costumes you need.  And not just holidays, you might need a costume for a dance class, drama school, a theater performance or a theme party – whatever it is, Halloween Express is the place to go all year long.

The reason I’m mentioning all this is because I love to see other “holiday” characters at Halloween.  I think it’s great!  When my nephew, Mark was in the 3rd grade his school was having a big costume party with prizes for the top costumes.  He went as a full-blown white beard wearing mini Santa Claus and won 1st place.  All his buddies thought it was so cool and his teacher loved it.  That year on Halloween night it was a record low temperature and it started to snow flurry while the kids were out trick-or-treating.  Mark’s costume was perfect for the weather and he was warm as can be all bundled up in his red suit, white gloves and black boots.  Every door he knocked on the person who answered would yell into the house for everyone to come to the door to see Mark dressed as Santa.  Boy, did he think he was cool.  That was nine years ago, and it never fails that every Halloween someone in the family brings up the time when Mark was Santa for Halloween.

So this year, go to your Halloween costume party as Santa or Mrs. Claus or even the Easter Bunny!  Believe me people will love it and you’ll be the hit of the party.  Check out all our Holiday costumes at Holiday Halloween Costumes.

Cowboys and Indians

Growing up I remember my brother’s running around the backyard playing cowboy and Indians.  They would chase each other for hours with my older brother Brian playing the gun slinging cowboy and my younger brother Kyle chasing right behind him wearing his Indian war bonnet and waving around his precious tomahawk (talk about an accident waiting to happen).  Of course I always wanted to play the little Indian girl but there was no way they were going to let a girl play in their “manly” war game, especially their sister!

Today, children still play cowboy and Indians, and I believe our children’s children will play cowboy and Indians – it’s a rich part of our past heritage.  I just love to watch the old Western’s on television with the rugged cowboys in their leather duster and chaps.  The good guys always won! 

The blockbuster movie 3:10 to Yuma was just released in September to rave reviews.  It’s about a small-time rancher that agrees to hold a captured outlaw who’s awaiting a train to go to court in Yuma.  It’s bringing the modern day cowboy back to the forefront just in time for Halloween season.  I think you’re going to be seeing a lot of cowboys (adults and children) at costume parties and out trick-or-treating this Halloween.

Then you had academy award winning movies like “The Last of the Mohicans” and “Dances With Wolves” in the early 90’s that had every child wanting to be an American Indian.  These were definitely two of my all time favorite movies ever!

If you want to see some of the coolest and sexiest cowboy and Indian costumes this year for Halloween, go to Cowboy and Indian Halloween Costumes and Indian Costumes.  These costumes aren’t just for guys anymore; the girls are bringing it on with cute and sexy costumes that will drive any cowboy wild!  Don’t want to be a cowgirl or Indian Princess? Check out our Saloon Girl Halloween Costume or our Saloon Girl Dancer Halloween Costume.

Let’s hear it for the Wild, Wild West!

Have you seen our new line of Everlast costumes?  They’re the satin boxing shorts, robes and gloves with Everlast printed on them.  Today, with as big as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is, this costume is sure to be a huge hit.  The great thing about this costume is that it comes in boys/mens sizes toddler, child and adult and girls/womens sizes child and adult.  There is even an Everlast costume for women as the Ring Card Girl.  Check out all our Everlast costumes at Everlast Halloween Costumes.

There were some great cartoons on Saturday mornings when I was growing up.  Two of my favorites were the Flintstones and the Jetsons.  They were on complete opposite sides of the spectrum where the Flinstones was a great cartoon about two friends and their families from the past where as the Jetsons was a really cool cartoon about a family that lives in the future.  Both were great shows!  Who can forget Fred Flinstone and Barney Rubble or George and Jane Jetson.   If you had two couples and needed a costume idea for a group, what about Fred, Wilma, Barney and Betty?  Or if you’re going as a couple you could always go as Pebbles and Bam Bam.  Make sure you check out our whole line of The Flinstones and The Jetsons costumes at  The Flinstones and Jetsons Halloween Costumes.

Tim Burton is a film director known mostly for the quirky and gothic atmosphere of his films.  Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are just a few of the movies he has directed.  All of these movies have excellent characters to base a Halloween Costume on – Edward has hands made of scissors, Jack Skellington, and Willy Wonka are all fun characters to play.  You can see these and much more at  Tim Burton Movie Halloween Costumes.

Classic Horror Films or Scary Family Movies?

Now is a great time of year to watch all the classic horror films.  With the weather cooling and the official start of Fall being right around the corner, Halloween is in the air.  I don’t know what it is about Halloween, but it’s the only time of the year when I’ll go out and rent scary movies and actually watch them.  What would Halloween be without a few frightening movies?  Of course, my children are still way too young to be watching scary movies so my friends and I pick a weekend in October to spend the day watching horror flicks.  We usually pick one movie (Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street) and watch the entire series of sequels.  Last year we spent all day on the Friday the 13th horror series.  This year since there’s the new Halloween movie that was just recently released, we’ll probably do the Halloween series with Michael Myers.  Some other great horror movies that have you jumping in your seat are:  Carrie, The Omen, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Rosemary’s Baby, Night of the Living Dead, Exorcist, Nightmare on Elm Street, and The Haunting.

Of course for every creepy, terrifying and gruesome Halloween movie character out there – there is a Halloween costume.  If you want to be Michael Myers, Jason, Carrie, Leatherface or Freddy Krueger (just to name a few) look no further.  Halloween Express has an entire line of horror/gothic Halloween costumes at   Halloween Horror and Gothic Costumes.

There are also some wonderful Halloween themed movies for families to watch together.  This year on October 31st on Nickelodeon, kids can watch Halloween themed episodes all day long.  One of the favorites among my children is definitely the movie Hocus Pocus.  It’s about three funny and wild witches played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy that return from 17th-century Salem after they’re accidentally conjured up by some unsuspecting kids.  They set out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth, but first they must get their act together and outwit three kids and a talking cat.  It’s a great movie!  It’s an annual tradition at our house to make a big bowl of popcorn and watch this movie together.  Some more great Halloween themed movies for your family to watch are:  Beetlejuice, Casper and my favorite, It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.  If you have young children try starting a new tradition this year of watching one of these great spooky kid-friendly shows.  Your kids will love it!  And don’t forget to check out our “witches and monsters” costumes for kids at Halloween Witches and Monsters.
