Halloween Costumes To Win The Contest
Halloween costumes really say something about the people wearing them and some people wish to accentuate a certain trait. Rockabilly music lovers may want to dress up in full 1950s Greaser garb or video gamers may want to dress themselves as a game controller. Other people use their costume theme to express a wild side and be as far from their everyday reality as possible, such as dressing as vampires, goblins or superheroes. Some adults look for sexy costumes as an excuse to titillate, while some guys want to dress up in something funny, like a Breathalyzer or a condom dispenser to be the life of the party. What are you trying to say this Halloween?
Some of the cleverest costumes are the ones people devise and make themselves. For instance, some kids paint themselves all black and dress in black (with red or blue colored sleeves and iPod accessories), while carrying matching backdrops, to go as the classic iPod ad! Other kids dress up as the "Koolaid" man and have two friends dress as pieces of the wall he was busting through. You can dress as a "Holy Cow," as the late gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson or as one of the "Royal Tenenbaums" in a red cord track jacket, sweatband, faux fur and eyeliner. You can go as "Nick Nolte's Mug Shot" by wearing a Hawaiian shirt and messing up your hair, or you may want to use that Hawaiian garb to go with your moustache and sunglasses, as in "Weekend at Bernies." Imagine the laughter at the costume party when you arrive as a lawn gnome, pine tree air freshener or paper doll!
However, if you're looking for this year's trendiest Halloween costumes, then look no further than the blockbuster Hollywood hits. For instance, the latest Batman movie is bound to bring a host of Jokers, Batmans and Two-faces. You can find some great adult costumes at www.halloweenadventure.com and www.costumzee.com, or you can make your own. Adults may also look to films like "Grease," "Titanic," "Chicago," "A Clockwork Orange," "Moulin Rouge," "Cabaret," "The Seven Year Itch" (Marilyn Monroe), "Breakfast at Tiffanys" (Audrey Hepburn), "Elizabeth-The Golden Age" or "Gone With the Wind" for inspiration.
For kids costumes, Harry Potter will continue to be popular throughout 2009, so check www.whimsicalley.com, www.onlinecostumestore.com or www.hollywoodcostumes.com! There are a number of adorable kids costume ideas at www.buycostumes.com that are new for 2008, like Indiana Jones, Transformers, Iron Man, Pokemon, Speedracer, Batman and Cookie Monster. Girls may want to dress as Hannah Montana, or as a character from High School Musical or the Chronicles of Narnia. If money is no object to you and you want to stop the show with a movie-quality $500 Bigfoot, $300 Evil Inbred or $2,000 Wraith costume, then be sure to check www.thehorrordome.com!
Remember that execution is critical when it comes to assembling your own original Halloween costumes. Remember that you'll want people to know who you are immediately so try to make it clear. Don't forget the essential items, like the cigarette holder for a Hunter S. Thompson costume or the white fishing hat for Gilligan. Thirdly, don't overlook the costume design details, such as hair, make-up and accessories. If you're going as a character from the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and you don't have eyeliner on, then what are you doing? Practicality is usually last on the list of considerations, but if you're able to use the bathroom comfortably and can walk and talk okay, then chances are you'll have a better time.

Today's Tip On Halloween
Or perhaps you're looking for fun Halloween party games for teens. Don't feel daunted in your quest for "the cool factor" with this age group, as they're a lot easier to impress than you may think! One mother said she sent out a story starter with the party invitations and asked the kids to write a creepy ending to be judged at the event. She said the stories were so funny, gross and fascinating that they reread them each year! Given the popularity of YouTube and viral videos, and how tech savvy kids are these days, you may also want to have a "Blair Witch Project Style Film Festival," asking each kid to write and film a five-minute horror movie to be screened at the party. Or if you'd like, you can make this a party activity by assembling old costume accessories and writing down movie ideas, letting kids pick out of a hat. Give each team 20 minutes to film their own movie as the other kids do another activity, waiting for their turn. Halloween hide-h-go-seek can be terrifying when the seeker is dressed up like a horrifying monster, creepy music is playing in the background and those caught have to lay on the floor like vampires in their coffins. Board games are always a howling good time for teenagers as well.
