Famous Faces!

Famous Faces Masks

The best part about Halloween, besides chocolate candy, is that it gives you a chance to be someone else for a night.  Have you ever dreamed about being a movie or rock star?  Well, now is your chance - sort of!  With the right mask at Halloween, you can be famous too! 

Halloween is known for being a night of ghosts and goblins, but it’s also a night of famous faces!  Movie stars, politicians, superheroes, animated characters…you will see all of them Halloween night!  Everything from a Barack Obama mask to your favorite late night talk show host masks, you’ll find them all at HalloweenExpress.com.

Halloween masks have come a long way since I was young.  Back then it was simply the plastic face mask with that lovely elastic string that went around your head.  My dad would always have to cut the nose and mouth holes bigger because after having it on for only a few minutes it was steamed up inside and you would be sweating to death.  It made for a long night of running around the neighborhood trick-or-treating.  After a couple houses the mask would end up on top of my head because it was way too hot to wear. 

Today however, masks are quite different.  Made of latex and vinyl, they are comfortable to wear and look and feel real.  What’s nice about masks is that you usually don’t have to even buy a costume to complete the look you’re going for.  The mask says it all!

Wigs Make All The Difference!

In the movies when an actor needs to change their appearance the first thing they do is put on a wig.  There’s nothing that can change the way you look or make you look unrecognizable to people you know, then by simply putting on a wig.

Wigs are so much fun!  They can instantly change you into someone else.  If you’ve got curly blond hair try on a wig that’s has straight black locks or vice versa; maybe you’ve always wanted to see if blonde’s do have more fun?! 

Marilyn Monroe Wig

Halloween is the perfect time of year to throw all inhibitions to the wind and go for it – be someone else for the night!  A simple wig can help you do just that!  Men can turn the years back with a disco fro or mullet wig and the women can be sleek and sassy with beautiful long tresses or wild and wacky with punk rock hair.  Little girls can put on the Hannah Montana wig and be a superstar and boys can become Jack Sparrow with a pirate bandanna and braids.

This year for Halloween, top your costume off with an amazing wig.  It will change your entire look and everyone will love it!  With so many great wigs to choose from you better start shopping now!

 

Avatar – A Blockbuster Movie Perfect For Halloween Costumes!

Avatar's Jake Sully and NeytiriThe movie Avatar was released in the United States on December 18, 2009.  The movie was written and directed by James Cameron. The film broke several box office records during its release and became the highest grossing film of all time worldwide, surpassing Titanic, which had held the records for the previous 12 years. It also became the first film to gross more than $2 billion.  So unless you’ve been under a rock for the past 8 months, you’ve definitely seen or perhaps heard of this little movie.  My husband and I have seen the movie twice, once in it’s regular format and once in 3-D (which I have to say was amazing).  My son has seen in numerous times with his friends and now has the DVD so he can watch it anytime he wants.

The characters in this movie are incredible and Avatar costumes are perfect for Halloween!  The two main characters, Corporal Jake Sully and Neytiri (of the Na’Vi clan) are fun to wear whether you’re a child or adult.  They make for a great couples costume if you’re going to a Halloween party or for trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.  Everyone will know what character your portraying…the blue in the costume sort of gives it away!

Avatar

Good news for all you Avatar fans out there!  First on August 27th, Avatar will be returning to the big screen in Digital 3D and IMAX 3D.  For all you moviegoers who missed experiencing the film in 3D, now you can!  Furthermore, James Cameron stated that since the film was so successful, there will be at least two sequels to the film!  That gives all us Avatar fans something to look forward to!

A New Twist On An Old Classic!

Wizard of Oz Dorothy Adult CostumeThe Wizard of Oz is one movie that just about everyone I know has seen at some point in their lives.  It’s definitely one of my favorites and my children love it as well!  Who hasn’t heard of Dorothy, Toto and the good witch Glinda?  The original film came out in 1939 with Judy Garland playing the part of Dorothy and it’s still as popular today as it was when it was released 71 years ago! 

Halloween is always a fun time to portray the cast of The Wizard of Oz.  I’ve seen many Dorothy’s wearing their sequined ruby slippers ringing our doorbell on Halloween night.   The characters in the movie are famous all on their own; Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch are all hugely popular during the Halloween season.  Even the Flying Monkey costumes are a hit!

Wicked of Oz Mistress Dorothy

This year for 2010 there’s a new twist on this old classic when it comes to Halloween costumes.  The Wicked of Oz Mistress Dorothy costume is so cool!  It takes the innocent sweet Dorothy to a whole new level, just in time for this sinister holiday.  It’s her evil twin dressed in leather of course! 

If you wanted to make it a group costume theme, you’ll find the Wicked of Oz Scarecrow (carrying a scythe) and the Wicked of Oz Lion, who is not cowardly at all!  You’ll be the talk of the party this year with these great costumes!
