A Family That “Shrek’s” Together, Stays Together!

Shrek Costumes

Shrek Costumes

Ever since May 2001, the lovable ogre Shrek has become a household name.  Today, with three more movies added to the franchise, Shrek and his friends are more popular than ever!

All the movies are hilarious!  I can’t say enough good things about them.  It’s such a great animated film that you can take the whole family to.  My kids loved it and I think my husband and I were laughing even harder than they were. 

For the past eight years, Halloween costumes for the Shrek characters fly off the shelves during the holiday and this year will be no different.  There’s so many great characters to choose from when it comes to picking out your Halloween costume; Princess Fiona, Donkey, Puss in Boots and the Three Blind Mice are so much fun to dress up as.  

Since the latest movie in the series was just released a couple months ago called “Shrek Forever After“, Shrek and his friends are back on the scene!   This Halloween make it a family night by everyone dressing as a character from the movie!  Dad can be Shrek, mom can be Princess Fiona and have the kids dress up as Donkey, Puss in Boots or even the Gingerbread Man.  The possibilities are endless and fun!

When I Grow Up, I Want To Be…

Pilot Costume

Astronaut Suit Child Costume

As children we’ve all wanted to be many things when we grew up; astronauts, doctors, firemen, policemen even superheroes and princesses. As we got older there is still that part of us that held on to those dreams. Some were lucky enough to follow those childhood dreams and grew up to be exactly what they always wanted to be. For others, there’s Halloween!

Halloween is the perfect time of year to fill that fantasy of, “When I grow up I want to be…”.  At Halloween you can be anything you want to be!

Pilot Costume

 

Want to change professions for the day? Career costumes are a simple and easy way of doing just that!

  • Want to “fly the friendly skies,” but you’re not a pilot? 
  • Race in the Indy 500, but you’re not a race car driver? 
  • Bust the bad guys, but you’re not a police officer?
  • Fly to the moon, but you’re not an astronaut?

Have fun this Halloween by pretending to be someone else for the day!

You’re Never Too Young To Trick-or-Treat!

Infant Incredible Hulk Costume

The Halloween holiday isn’t for another four months however, it’s never too early to look for costumes.  I talk a lot in my blogs about how popular Halloween has become with adults, but today it’s all about the little ones. 

Infant Incredible Hulk CostumeTrick-or-treating on Halloween night is for kids of all ages from toddlers to tweens.  They do start early when it comes to getting candy! 

I’ve seen toddlers that haven’t even started toddling yet trick-or-treating.  Even though they can’t say “trick-or-treat” or even walk up to the door to ring the doorbell, there they are all dressed up in the cutest baby costumes.  Mom and dad are pulling them around in their Little Tykes wagon and they couldn’t be happier.  There’s usually an older brother or sister pre-school to elementary school age that mom and dad are actually following around the neighborhood and the little one gets to come along for the ride.

 

Tom Arma Costumes are perfect for toddlers and infants.  His costumes will have every other parent in the neighborhood jealous of how adorable your little one looks.  You’re in luck too because the Tom Arma Costume line is only available exclusively from Halloween Express! 

Even though there’s really not any candy that a baby/infant can have during the trick-or-treat festivities, they are just as happy to sit by and watch all the kids running around having a good old time.  It won’t be long before they’re dressed up in the latest Halloween costumes and running along side their brothers and sisters on Halloween night!

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!

I know it’s still four months away, but HalloweenExpress.com is showing their “New 2010 Kids Costumes” for Halloween!  As we all know, time flies and October will be here before you know it!  

As parents, we’re well aware that our children change their minds on what they want to be for Halloween at least a million times, especially the girls.  It’s so important for them even at an early age (unfortunately) to have the perfect costume and that all their friends love it!  Boys, on the other hand wear what they want and they don’t care who likes it as long as they do.  Where as the girls costumes have to be stylin and cute, the boys just want something that has weaponry included with it!

This year, 2010 is going to be a great year for Halloween costumes.  For girls, the costumes for the tween ages are really hip and in style for that in between age!

  • The Vampire Bat Girl Costume, “Twilight Trickster
  •  Spiderman’s Sidekick Costume, “Spider Girl”

The new kids costumes are just as cute and I know your kids will love them! 

  • The Gothic Cheerleader Costume, “Bad Spirit”
  • Pumpkin Princess Costume, “Lite Up Pumpkin Princess”
  • The Infamous Werewolf Costume

Have your children take a look because there are a lot of really great costumes to pick from.  This way they can narrow down their search so when it’s time to pick just one, they’ll be ready!
