Dracula Lives!

Bram Stroker’s Dracula, Blade, Fright Night, The Forsaken and who could forget, the teenage cheerleader Buffy the Vampire Slayer!  These are just a few of the moives that portray the darker side of vampires and the crusaders that slay them.  I love most vampire movies because the “slayer” always wins in the end plunging a wood stake into the heart of the vampire (or something like that).  

How many times have you heard “I want to suck your blood” on Halloween night with all the black caped vampires running around trick-or-treating?  From ages 2 – 22 you’ll find these dark forbidden souls out for blood as darkness falls on Halloween night (or maybe it’s just the candy they’re after)…

The vampire has been a staple of Halloween costumes forever.  I remember running around in my little princess costume when I was about seven years old and my older brother Brian dressed as Dracula with his long black plastic cape, white make up on his face and the scariest set of fangs I had ever seen.  Actually they were only the white plastic fangs that came with the costume that were way too big for his mouth, but for a girl at seven it was pretty scary.  Today the vampire has transpired into Dracula, King of Darkness waiting for nightfall to quench his bloodlust by preying on the living.  Ok, so it might not be that grim but you get my point.  The vampire costume has come a long way from the plastic cape and big white fangs of yesterday.

Today on Halloween night, it’s not only the “king” of darkness that walks upon the earth at nightfall, but the queen and lots of little vampires running around as well.  With just the right touch of Halloween makeup and a perfect fitting set of fangs these vampires are amazingly frightening (and not only to seven year olds)!

HalloweenExpress.com has the largest selection of vampire costumes anywhere!  From the traditional evil vampire to a more sexy take on the vampiress.  With our great costumes, anyone at any age can become the next Dracula!

 

 

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!

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!

Halloween + Hockey Mask = Jason

He’s back!  It’s that time of year again when the trademark Hockey Mask’s go flying off the shelves!  Friday the 13th, Camp Crystal Lake and Jason are as much a part of Halloween as candy!

It’s one of the most recognizable costumes and probably the simplest to put together. 

  • hockey mask – check
  • worn jeans – check
  • t-shirt – check
  • machete – check

That’s all you need and you’re costume is complete!  Jason Voorhees is the machete-wielding virtually indestructible killing machine with a vendetta against teenage campers at Camp Crystal Lake in the series of slasher films, Friday the 13th.  Since the original film “Friday the 13th” was released in 1980 there have been ten more films in the series with the latest being Freddy vs. Jason in 2003.  So to say the least, the Jason Voorhees costume has been a symbolic figure at Halloween for the past 28 years and the trademark hockey mask that he’s worn since “Friday the 13th Part 3″ is still going strong!
