Yesterday I spoke about my plans on enjoying a scary Halloween and my decision to visit a real life famous haunted mansion. But I didn't tell you about everything! I'm gonna watch my all time favorite horror movie “Halloween” in Camera 12 movie theater in San Jose on Halloween night with my buddies. I love this movie because it's scary and haunting. The background score is spooky and there's a lot of unexpected things that happen. I think watching this cult horror movie on a Halloween night as opposed to a routine day makes a lot of difference. We have a special Halloween scary costumes ball at my friend Justin's place right after the movie. I'm still planning what to wear that will make me stand out in the crowd. I'd like something that'll make everyone scream out of fear! For this I plan to visit the famous Spirit Halloween Superstores for selection of some really bloodcurdling Halloween costumes. Wish me luck!

I wish you all a fantastic and scary Halloween ahead! And check out this wish that you can spook your friends with.

We've Still Got the (Saturday Night) Fever After 30 Years

The 30th Anniversary Edition of Saturday Night Fever was just released and according to one review, we’ve still got the Fever after all these years!

Released in a 30th Anniversary Edition, the film still holds up as not just THE 1970s film as far as fashion and music but a rough, tragic coming of age story that any generation can relate to and perhaps be inspired by. In the role that made him a worldwide icon, John Travolta plays Tony Manero. The only thing that keeps the 19- year old Brooklyn kid and his friends alive and hopeful is Saturday night. On Saturday nights, they get dressed up and blow all their money at the disco.

Much of Fever’s aura comes from the Bee Gee’s music, which still is immensely enjoyable and how Travolta moves with it. The Fever soundtrack remains the top selling soundtrack of all time and is a staple at any club or house party.

The film has been called the first “dance” film that paved the way for other Travolta films like Urban Cowboy (1980), the ill-fated sequel to Fever; Staying Alive (1983) and the more successful iconic dance films of the 80s like Flashdance (1983), Footloose (1984), and Dirty Dancing (1987).

The new extras include the 52 minute retrospective documentary about the Fever phenomenon including the music, disco craze, fashion and how the film still holds up after 30 years. It includes interviews with ALL the cast and crewmembers EXCEPT for Travolta. His absence is never explained.

Fever was a huge turning point for American fashion as well as music. The film marked the shift from shaggy hairdos to perfectly coiffed, hairsprayed dos, gold neck chains, polyester shirts, platform shoes, and of course the three-piece white leisure suit that Travolta immortalized in the dance contest finale.

It’s not every film that can still pack a punch after 30 years but Saturday Night Fever is still as potent and as alive as it was back in 1977.Celebrate the Disco Era and the 30th anniversary release of Saturday Night Fever this Halloween! Blow out your hair and pick up a Night Fever Costume from Anniescostumes.com and hit the pavement. Can you just hear the Bee Gees singing Stayin’ Alive as you strut your stuff?

Scary Halloween Part-1

Halloween is that time of the year when we prepare to get scared and play pranks on our friends and loved ones. What's Halloween without some chills and thrills? My advice is: play safe.

I bet, I'll have a spine-chilling Halloween!

Halloween Scary Costumes—Homemade Halloween Costumes

The famous author of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle said: “Where there is no imagination, there is no horror.” And that's very true in regards to scary Halloween costumes. If you wanna strike terror among your buddies and dear ones on Halloween, you got to have great imagination. If you do not want to buy Halloween costumes from stores, you can make one for your own. With commercial Halloween costumes flooding the markets, everybody ends up looking the same. So there's nothing like homemade Halloween costumes, which will make you stand out in the crowd. All you need would be some make-up, which are safe for your skin, fake hair or wigs, tights and leotards, and glue. For example, if you want to dress up as a mummy,wrap yourself in white bandages (rolls of gauze) and dab on some green paint for "mold". Use white make-up on face with "age lines" drawn on. In this way, you can have your own personalized style for Halloween costumes party and attract attention of friends and loved ones!
And talk about spooky, here's a Halloween e-card to wish all your buddies this Halloween with this Halloween witches card and cast a spell on them!

A Creepy Halloween Poem

It's Halloween! It's Halloween!

The moon is full and bright

And we shall see what can't be seen

On any other night.

Skeletons and ghosts and ghouls,

Grinning goblins fighting duels,

Werewolves rising from their tombs,

Witches on their magic brooms.

In masks and gowns

we haunt the street

And knock on doors

for trick or treat.

Tonight we are

the king and queen,

For oh tonight

it's Halloween!

~Jack Prelutsky~

Red Sox get early start on Halloween

According to an article on Halloween costumes, even the Boston Red Socks got an early start on the fun at a game on September 16.

The Boston Red Sox didn't need an interpreter for this: With one quick wardrobe change, Daisuke Matsuzaka went from star pitcher to Teletubby.

"I didn't think there was anything that could make me laugh last night. There was," manager Terry Francona said yesterday.

Many teams use a late-season trip as a chance to have some fun with the rookies, dressing them in outlandish costumes that must be worn on the flight to the next city. Dice-K had to don the outfit after Sunday's 4-3 loss to New York at Fenway Park.

In addition to Matsuzaka, Boston's veterans dressed reliever Hideki Okajami and outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury as female pirates, pitcher Clay Buchholz as Minnie Mouse and outfielder Brandon Moss as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.

Francona said watching Matsuzaka clear customs at Pearson International Airport in Toronto was "hilarious."

"Somebody wrote a cheque for $102-million, and he's going through dressed as a rodent," Francona said.

Get a head start on the Halloween fun with a costume from AnniesCostumes.com.

Monday, Monday...

September just seems to be in such a hurry to make way for October. The countdown has already begun to the most magical time of the year...Halloween! My weekly postings went up on ebay today so be sure to click around and see the fun things I've been brewing up in my studio.

Decorating Your Home for Halloween

After much deliberation, you’ve finally decided on this year’s perfect Halloween costume. But what about your home? Will it be decorated to do your costume justice?

Whether you plan to wear your costume to frighten trick-or-treaters or if you’re having a spooky Halloween party, how you decorate your home can take your guests’ experience to a frighteningly new level.

Here are some tips from a how-to article on decorating your home for Halloween:

Pay a lot of attention to your lighting. Turn your lights very low, or even turn them off, using only candles to create a spooky Halloween glow.

• Fill your home with spooky wisps of smoke and fog made from dry ice.



• Make a few ghastly head centerpieces for your buffet.



• Place shrunken apple heads in the least expected places such as on dining room or kitchen chairs, in your guests' coat pockets, or at the bottom of a snack bowl.



• Play spooky Halloween music inside and outside your house.



• Welcome your guests with spooky jack-o-lanterns lining your walkway.



• Create creepy spiders to scatter everywhere including your buffet table, chairs, ceilings and anyplace else your guests might be surprised.



• Spread cobwebs in choice corners of your home (available at most party stores) and selectively place miniature spiders in each web.



• Cover your furniture with white sheets to simulate a deserted haunted house.



• Buy your own Fog Machine.



• Shop at Pumpkin Masters for a wonderful selection of pumpkin carving tools and instructions.
  

Star Wars Costume Pageant

CE Report: Star Wars Costume Pageant

Posted By Curto on TheForce.net on July 18, 2007

The costume pageant was a great showcase of fans' dedication and creativity. Warwick Davis presented this event, which was divided in two categories: under 16 and over 16. The judges were creature shop supervisors from Ep. III, Dave and Lou Elsey and costume designer John Mollo.

In the under 16 category there was a great clone trooper outfit and a parade of cute little Jedi, princesses and bounty hunters. While some had definite star quality - there was an Obi-Wan Kenobi who even perfected the Jedi Master's fighting stance -, some nearly ran off the stage, making it a little difficult to take good photos!

This category's prizes were given out by Ray Park and the winners were:

3rd: Yoda - this toddler in a Yoda outfit stole the show. If the huge smile on his little face is anything to go by, Star Wars will still be going strong another 30 years from now!

2nd: Boba Fett - This was a good costume, almost entirely handmade. The judging panel definitely gave points for care and effort.

1st: Lego Darth Vader - Yes, you read it right. This young boy's costume was Darth Vader as a Lego figurine! A definite win for creativity.


The adult category (over 16) had some amazing costumes ranging from Jedi Knights to Expanded Universe characters. There were many women in the pageant, and I don't mean just Amidalas: there was Aayla Secura, Shaak Ti, a slave girl from Jabba's palace, Mon Mothma and a very realistic Asajj Ventress.

There were some great moments of unexpected humor in the pageant: somehow Warwick Davis' cue cards got mixed and all the costume descriptions started coming out wrong. There would be a Jedi on stage, in somber brown robes, and Warwick was describing flower embroidery… Everybody was laughing, including the contestants, and Warwick just made it the pageant's running gag!

The awards were given out by Jeremy Bulloch, who was very nice and took the time to speak to each winner about his/her costume. The winners were:

3rd: Hoth Han Solo with Tauntaun - This outfit must be seen to be believed, check out the photos! A brilliant idea, very well executed.

2nd: Amidala Senate Gown (Episode II) - This was indeed the most accurate of the Amidalas, up to the flawless hairdo. The costume was well tailored and showed great craftsmanship. Also, her serene regal pose rivalled Natalie Portman's!

1st: Wookiee - Upon taking the stage, this Wookie turned out to be bald… He also revealed that he'd nearly fainted from heat exhaustion earlier that day! That's what you get for impersonating a walking carpet.

Blizzard World of Warcraft Costume Contest

Blood Elves at BlizzCon

Last month a convention called BlizzCon took place in Anaheim, CA. Blizzard is the company that makes the online multiplayer game called World of Warcraft and this is their convention. That's the downlow for those of you who don't already know. And my guess is most of you reading this might have already known about WOW since it is one of the most popular games in the world with something like 8 million users.

In the game, you make your own character and you have a few different fanatasy characters to choose from, like elves, dwarves, and such. All types of characters based on original Tolkien like ideas further developed in the D&D world.

All of these fantasy characters lend themselves to great costume ideas and the participants are extremely creative. The combination of these two things makes for one of the best costume competitions I have ever seen in my life! (And I have seen quite a number of them!)

See a gallery of BlizzCon costumes!

Another costume gallery from BlizzCon

And here is a series of 3 videos of the costume contest. The videos might be a bit long, but for anyone who loves costumes or the game, they are well worth it. Each costume is better than the one before it. There are about 150 entrants and not a dud among them. (Except for maybe Chuck Norris!) Kudos to all the entrants for your amazing talent and imagination to boot.

Where Did Halloween Come From?

Every year millions of Americans celebrate Halloween. We decorate our houses and our yards to try to make them look as spooky as possible. In recent years the decorations have become more and more elaborate. It is almost as though people are getting into the Halloween decorating with as much fervor as they do at Christmas.

Our children, as well as a lot of adults, dress up in costumes that range from horribly scary to outright funny. Children look forward to Halloween because they love to go out Trick-or-Treating, roaming up and down the neighborhood streets knocking on doors and holding put their treat bags.

Did you ever wonder where the traditions we observe at Halloween came from? What is Halloween really all about? According to an article on the origins of Halloween, contrary to what some people may believe, there was never anything inherently evil about Halloween.

The ideas about witches, the devil and monsters being associated with Halloween are later additions to the holiday we celebrate late in October.

Halloween actually has its roots in the Celtic culture. Many of the traditions we observe today have come straight to us from the Irish. The Romans came along soon after the death of Christ and added their own influences on the already age-old traditions and celebrations. Over time the meanings and observances of Halloween have changed both in function and purpose.

If you'd like to learn more about the origins of this fascinating holiday, visit True Ghost Tales, where you’ll find lots of scary ghost stories and more on the history and origins of Halloween.

And to get in the Halloween spirit, start shopping for this year's costume from the amazing selection of Halloween costumes at http://www.anniescostumes.com/.

Celebrate a Hauntingly Happy Samhain!

Samhain is the Celtic or Gaelic word for "summer's end", and is mainly a Celtic or Irish festival. It is observed on the night of October 31st, which is now popularly known as Halloween. As Christianity continued to gain its foothold, Samhain came to be known as Hallowmas or All Saints' Day, to commemorate the souls of the blessed dead who had been canonized that year. On Samhain have a bone-chilling, spooky, and ghostly fun with your loved ones and buddies by sending these free Samhain fun wishes and wishing them happy "spirited" times ahead!!
