You’re probably sick of me asking this, but do you have your Halloween costume yet?  There’s still time!  Go to our shipping page and you’ll see you can still order your costume and have it shipped to you in time for Halloween. It’s not too late. Here’s the link: Just in Time Shipping Schedule and Delivery Calculator

Grease is one of my all time favorite movies!  Who can forget Rydell High with Danny, Sandy, Rizzo, Kenickie, Frenchy, The T-Birds and The Pink Ladies?  The movie was released in June 1978 and is still wildly popular today.  I don’t think there’s a song in that movie that most people don’t know every word to.  Even my children love it!  With our line of Grease costumes now you go back to the days of poodle skirts and saddle shoes.  Check out all our Grease costumes at Grease Halloween Costumes.  Grease is the word!

The Lord of the Rings is a blockbuster trilogy consisting of:

  • The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
  • The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers  
  • The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King   

The films were critically acclaimed, winning an unbelievable 17 Academy Awards.  My nephews love this trilogy and have seen them over and over again.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve played Lord of the Rings Monopoly with them!  The characters in the movie are so well known that when you dress as one for Halloween everyone knows what character you are.  Gandolf, Frodo, Aragorn, Legolas, Queen Arwen and even the lovely Gollum are some of the costumes you can choose from.  See our entire line of The Lord of the Rings costumes at  Lord of the Rings Halloween Costumes.

As far as children and Nickelodeon go, there’s no better match.  Children love Nickelodeon and all the characters that come with it.  So when it comes to picking out their costumes many children want to be the characters that are in the Nickelodeon shows they like.  Sponge Bob (which I happen to know is not just a childs favorite – many adults love Sponge Bob) and his friend Patrick, Blues Clues, Dora the Explorer and her brother Diego are all shows that children love to watch.  For all our Nickelodeon favorite costumes go to  Nickelodeon Halloween Costumes.

Remember there’s still time to shop, order and receive your costume from Halloween Express.  Get shopping now and make this Halloween a night to remember!

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 

Zorro  Zorro 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!

Zombie!

Since the season of Halloween revolves around the souls of the dead returning to earth to haunt the living, what better “poster child” to have for Halloween night than the Zombie!

The dictionary describes a Zombie as,  “the body of a dead person given the semblance of life, but mute and will-less, by a supernatural force, usually for some evil purpose”.   I have never been to a haunted house where there weren’t several Zombie’s scaring people to death! 

For me the word Zombie only means one thing – “Night of the Living Dead”.  Night of the Living Dead was a black and white Independent horror film from back in 1968 and directed by George A. Romero.  The film cost $114,000 to make and to date has grossed an estimated $30 million Internationally.  By those figures, I’m not the only one who thinks of Night of the Living Dead when they hear the word Zombie! 

Today, there are five films in the “Dead” series.  Although they’re not considered sequels, they all have one thing in common…..Zombie’s!

  1. Night of the Living Dead – 1968
  2. Dawn of the Dead – 1978
  3. Day of the Dead – 1985
  4. Land of the Dead – 2005
  5. Diary of the Dead – 2007

 

Did you know that they even have Zombie Walks?  The world’s largest zombie walk was held on October 29, 2006 in Monroeville Mall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the setting of Romero’s original Dawn of the Dead film. The walk consisted of 894 attendees who all were instructed to bring canned food for a local food drive. The walk was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest zombie walk ever held. 

Since Zombies are “the body of a dead person come to life”, they could be anyone from a doctor to an outlaw.  Check out our Zombie costumes for the Doctor of Death Zombie,  Zombie Doctor Halloween Costume  Sea of Death Pirate Zombie Pirate Zombie Halloween Costume or the Dead Outlaw Zombie Outlaw Zombie Halloween Costume.   We also have many more great Zombie costumes to choose from.  Zombie Halloween Costumes

If you already have your Zombie costume but need a little extra help with accessorizing check out our entire line of Zombie props at Zombie Halloween Props.  It’s the place to go if you’re looking for Zombie themed decorations, yard props, make up tips for the perfect Zombie or some unbelieveable animated Zombie’s that are sure to scare everyone!   You’ll find everything you need for the Zombie in you!

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!
