WWE Rocks!

WWE Raw

WWE Raw

The World Wrestling Entertainment Franchise has been around for years, but became insanely popular in the late 90′s with “professional wrestler” being at the top of ever young boys list of “what I want to be when I grow up”.

Today, the WWE has kept its popularity with shows like Monday Night Raw and Friday Night Smackdown. Pay Per View events such as; Wrestlemania, Summerslam, Royal Rumble and Survivor Series have all kept the WWE wrestlers in the spotlight and bigger than life.

WWE Ray Mysterio Deluxe Child CostumeEvery Halloween I’ve had a smaller version of just about every WWE wrestler out there. However, I think this year is going to be a really big year for those WWE wrestlers. There are so many big names in wrestling right now that it should be easy to become your favorite wrestler for a night of trick-or-treating by either going old school with the Undertaker Costume or some new blood such as The Celtic Warrior Sheamus.

My nephew is really into wrestling and the WWE so he has decided to wear the John Cena costume for Halloween this year.  A few of his buddies are going as Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and Kane.  I’m sure everyone will recognize them for the wrestlers they are!

That’s The Way We Became The Brady Bunch!

The Brady Bunch

Halloween is a holiday best celebrated with lots of family and friends; the more the merrier!  That’s why group costumes are so popular.  Nobody wants to trick-or-treat alone!

There are so many great themes to pick from when choosing group costumes.  My favorite by far is “The Brady Bunch”.  I grew up watching the show and can still remember many of the episodes – who doesn’t!  The Brady Bunch taught us many important life lessons – such as donning a huge Afro wig will make one more popular, how to sport a groovy man perm, taking an ancient tiki from Hawaii is a sure way to get you cursed and exaggerating to your friends will get Davy Jones to sing at your prom.

Besides all that, the Brady Bunch gave us a sense of style!  There wasn’t a family out there that could put together outrageous vintage outfits quite like Mike, Carol, Greg, Marcia, Peter, Jan, Bobby, and Cindy!

This Halloween I’m definitely getting my husband to dress as Mike and I’m donning the Carol Brady costume!  Florence Henderson (who played Carol all those years) is putting on her dancing shoes to complete in “Dancing With The Stars” which airs on ABC in a couple weeks and I know Carol Brady is going to be one hot dance momma! 

I’m sad that my children are too young to appreciate the phenomenon known as The Brady Bunch, but I’m sure my brothers and sisters will be more than happy to portray one of the Brady’s in a Brady Bunch costume

Without a doubt we’ll win first place in any costume contest this Halloween!

Fraggle Rock Returns With “Scared Silly”!

Do you remember the tv series Fraggle Rock?  It was a beloved children’s animated show in the 80′s created by Jim Hensen and made up of what else…muppets!  It was right up there in popularity with Sesame Street and The Muppet Show.  Well, it’s coming back to the US next month in the form of a DVD just in time for Halloween called “Scared Silly” and is sure to be a big hit!  It consists of three mysterious and magical Fraggle stories that will entertain kids and parents alike! 

The Fraggle Muppets of Fraggle Rock are curious, clever and brave.  The five main muppet characters are:

  • Gobo – He loves exploring
  • Mokey – She loves painting
  • Red - She loves sports
  • Wembley – He loves playing the bongos
  • Boober – He loves doing laundry and cooking 

They live in a cave called Fraggle Rock and spend most of their time playing, exploring, and having fun.  I think that’s why children love to watch them!

And it’s not just the DVD bringing Fraggle Rock back into the spotlight, but these fun loving characters are coming out as Halloween costumes as well!  What a great idea for a group costume!   All you men that want to relive a fun memory from your childhood, grab a Boober or Gobo Costume and for the ladies wanting to get in on the fun be sure to order a Red or Mokey Costume and bring those lovable Fraggles back to life!

“It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!”

It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

I love Halloween!  It’s a holiday for everyone, ages 2 to 92.  There are so many fun things to do from going out to haunted houses and pumpkin patches to staying home and watching all the great Halloween shows on television.  It’s a great time to get together with you family and friends, make some popcorn and enjoy the shows!

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!

It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

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!

The Vampire Phenomenon!

The Twilight Series

The Twilight Series

The vampire craze has always been there, just not as popular as it is now.  In the late 90′s, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel were two televisions series that brought vampires into the spotlight.   Then in November 2008 the Twilight Series began and nothing has been the same for those blood thirsty lovers of the night.

The original movie and first in the series of 4 books to be released onto the big screen was “Twilight” in November 2008, followed by “New Moon” in November 2009 and soon to be released “Eclipse” at the end of this month.  Isabella “Bella” Swan and Edward Cullen have a huge following of “Twi-Hards” that live and breathe Twilight Saga!

Other vampire related television series are also moving up in popularity;  True Blood on HBO and The Vampire Diaries on CW.  On June 20th, ABC is trying their hand at vampire shows by premiering “The Gates” about an upscale neighborhood of what else…vampires.  Vampires are coming out of the woodwork and everybody is loving it! 

Halloween has always been a great holiday for vampires…vampire costumes that is!  Vampires of every age, old and young come out for some Halloween fun.  Good thing that trick-or-treating is at night.  That way the vampires feel right at home!  At HalloweenExpress.com you’ll find every imaginable vampire and vampiress costume for Halloween this year!  Whether you’re looking for a Queen of Darkness Costume or a Twilight Bite Teen Costume, you’ll find it here!

With one more movie to be released (after Eclipse) in the Twilight franchise, “Breaking Dawn”, you can bet the thrill of the vampire will not be ending anytime soon!
