My Halloween Ideas

We, as human beings, have had certain fears engrained in us, back from long before history was recorded. Most made sense, for the time, and stayed with us through our shared desire to survive. The sound of thunder could also be a stampeding herd of beasts; the dark hid predators and other dangers; dark waters hid all sorts of creatures. But each culture has a common myth, something that we can’t explain quite as easily. We are somehow innately afraid of pale, distorted figures with sunken eyes and sharpened teeth- something that ; we can’t explain the commonality, and we call them zombies or vampires , or sometimes demons or wraiths- whatever we can do to make sense of our collective fears. But it was inescapable that something in our distant past gave us those long-repressed memories.

The thought had occurred to me in my youth, and worried me to an insignificant degree for years. Of course, I tended to be very good at worrying, courtesy of an absent father and an overprotective mother, so I never put too much stock in it. I was grown now, with a wife and a son of my own; and on this early Saturday morning, it was my son that jolted me awake with a piercing scream.

I didn’t panic, like I had when his nightmares started. At first, I’d bolt out of bed and run to his room in a panic, where I’d find him sitting stiffly upright with his eyes locked open. He’d tell me about the dream, and I’d stay with him until he was able to sleep again. We took him to a shrink after a couple of days; she called it “night terrors”, which explained his extreme reactions and its relative frequency. The dreams were always the same; there would be a man at the foot of his bed, standing and staring at him when he opened his eyes. The man was tall and pale, with large sunken eyes that seemed to pull in the light around it, and dressed in a loose black tunic that covered the entirety of his body. He would break into a wide grin when my son would startle, revealing ragged and broken teeth as he stretched an inhumanly long arm towards the terrified child. It was then that my son would find the breath to scream, and I would come. Invariably, he would tell me that the creature would scurry under the bed with a mixture of a cackle and a moan just moments before I came into the room.

Jamie Lee Curtis the star of Prom Night, Halloween and others horror movies is just one of the many simple and easy Halloween costume you can be this Oct. 31st.

The best thing about this costume is that it is simple to put it together; a homemade costume. You’ll need formalwear, a couple of accessories and some gore.

Obituary

First, you have to decide how you died and create your costume around it. If you are looking for blood, be the victim of a cruel crime. We all love a good tragedy on Halloween, so don’t turn your costume into an exception. Maybe it was the revenge of a lover, or just being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

The wounds will depend on the weapon of your choice. Your Halloween costume will be a lot more interesting if it is accompanied by a story. Of course, you might go without the gore and be simply pale and visually perfect dead prom queen, but you may possibly not win the prizes in a costume contest.

Prom Dress

You’ll need a formal prom night dress. Any dress is good as it is going to get dirty. For best results, select one that fits well, as you are dressing as a (dead) prom queen. In the same time, the shoes have to be formal and comfortable, as the dress.

Accessories

- Sash: make your own, or just buy one online;
- Tiara: you should find one at any local store with Halloween costumes, or at My Halloween Store;
- Flowers: this is where creativity steps in. Dead flowers or black silk flowers are suitable for a dead prom queen.

For glamor, add some costume jewelry. A genuine prom queen would not be caught dead in the absence of some bling. You might end up carrying some stuff, so it is a good idea to carry a small, but fancy handbag.

Hair

Your hair should be in the style of a prom queen, but also messy as an evidence of a violent struggle or your way out from the grave. Even better, add some smaller sticks and leaves to your curls for the genuine dead prom queen appearance.

Makeup

A makeup kit will be helpful to have a dramatic and lifeless look. Lips can be covered with black lipstick. Wounds should be placed on exposed areas (neck, face, arms, and hands) with ample fake blood to go with them. Also paint your fingernails and toenails black for a more genuine dead promo queen look.

In the end, you’ll need a date for the dance. Just remember “It’s not who you go with honey, it’s who takes you home.”

If you really want to stand out of the crowd with your remarkable hula costume, here is how to make your own coconut bra for less than $10.

The list of materials includes:
- a coconut
- thin leather strips
- hammer
- jigsaw or hand saw
- screwdriver
- power drill
- power sander and lacquer (optional)
- spoon.

When buying a coconut, keep in mind the size of your regular bras. It is better to look for a coconut as spherical as you can find.

With a screwdriver poke a hole in of the eyes of the coconut and twist the screwdriver around to enlarge the hole.

Next, saw the coconut in two with a handsaw or jigsaw, preferable lengthwise but keep in mind your own breast-cradling needs.

Take away the meat from the inside of the coconut with a spoon. It does require some patience and effort, but leverage is the key word here. Just wedge it well between the meat and the shell.

Sand down the exterior of the coconut preferable with a power sander to ease up your work. In the lack of a power sander, trim off the hairy bits prior to using the sandpaper.

Rinse off the coconuts and get rid of any remaining coconut meat.

Next, apply the two halves to your breast to determine where you want them to stay and mark four holes in each half (2 on the inside, where they will be held together; 1 on the top for the neck straps and 1 on the outside for the back straps.

Now drill the holes where you have previously marked making sure to leave about ¼ of an inch between the hole and the edge of the coconut half.

Thread the leather strips through the holes you just drilled. Once you are sure all the straps are adjusted to fit you well, cut off the excess from the ends, if needed.

That’s it, you are done! You have your very own, customized coconut bra, tailored exactly for you.

Don’t forget to add a Natural Grass Hula Skirt that you can get at My Halloween Store and your off to the luau.

The good old classic monsters are just so much fun. They are easy to recognize and also easy to create costumes. A mummy costume, for instance is easy to recognize and will allow you certain artistic freedom.

Here is what you need to outfit an average individual: gauze, black tea, pair of socks, black nail polish, underclothes and Halloween makeup kit.

Once you have the gauze, dye them in black tea for an aged look. Just brew up a string black tea and when it cools just simply dip your gauze in. Wring the gauze out and let it dry completely. For a darker color, dip one more time and drizzle some tea over some areas for a not so uniform color.

As the gauze is quite gauzy, you need a layer of clothing underneath. You could make a pair of elastic waist pants which as rather form fitting and a tunic top similar to a muscle shirt. A white thermal top worn underneath is also a great idea for extra warmth and coverage. Sew a few layers of gauze on the pants to cover the sides of the pants, the front and back past the knee. This provides a fair amount of coverage which also allows enough movement without using much gauze. You can cover shoes with a pair of beige socks with a slit on the bottom. It might not be very pretty, but it sure works.

Start wrapping the gauze over the underclothes. Keep in mind that it requires patience and experimentation. Start with the head, then the arms, hands and shoulders. Also cover the gaps in-between sections. It is preferable to have plenty of gauze as it will easier and prettier. As soon as you are done with the wrapping, you can go to the makeup process. Take your Halloween makeup kit and apply a layer of yellow on all visible areas of the face. Fill the eyelid and the area around the eyes with dark brown eye shadow. In the end, apply some highlights of green around the eye sockets and some black nail polish. You should now have a pretty mummy ready for the Halloween costume party.
