How to use your makeup!

This Halloween, no costume is complete without the right makeup. In this two part series, we’ll show you what makeup can be used for what costume, and how to apply it.

            If you plan on being a vampire, a wolf, a zombie, or anything that might require some blood, you have to have our Blood Gel.Blood Gel is a deep red syrup-based blood that never dries, giving the look of oozing, wet, thick blood. Washes off easily with soap and water. Apply with a paint brush, Q-tip, or your finger.

            No clown costume is complete without a full out face of makeup. Sure, that red nose is important, but the white face and special designs are the most important part! Our Bozo Makeup Kit is the easiest way to get all the makeup you’d need for a clown costume in one place.  Make-Up kit includes large tube of white cream make-up, six mulitcolor crayons (white, red, black, blue, green and yellow) and one applicator sponge. Use the sponge to cover the entirety of your face white, then use the crayons to draw fun shapes atop the white. Also check out another clown kit here.

            Joining the army for one night only? The best soldiers know you can’t blend in without some camo. Our Camouflage Makeup Kit, This E-Z Character FX makeup kit includes: Two white sponges, Mini shaker of powder, Mini puff, Small flat brush, and Black, wolf brown and green make-up. Use the kit to paint stripes of green and brown that extend across your entire face!

            Another must have is our Colored Liquid Body Latex Paint. Use colored liquid latex to create exotic, dazzling and durable fantasy designs. Colored Liquid Body Latex is bold and rich with color and has excellent elastic properties allowing for ease of movement and comfort. Once applied, these fantasy designs can walk, dance, and even swim with you so long as they don’t get heavy friction. To remove, simply scratch loose an edge and peel off.

            Have to fake an injury? It’s easy with our Ex Fx Injury Kit. Kit includes blood gel for the cut, a white makeup sponge to fake that pale look you get when you’re hurt, a black stipple sponge for the blood gel and an ‘injury stack’ with four colors to fake it well!

            Any fairy costume isn’t complete without a TON of glitter. Thankfully, our Face Painting Glitter comes in 8 different colors! Available in the following colors: Opalescent, Silver, Gold, Red, Orange, Green, Blue, and Purple. Perfect for showing team spirit at your next sporting event or putting a finishing touch on your Halloween costume. Pick up a stick in every color and let your imagination go wild!

How to use your accessories!



his season’s trimmings

            One of the best things about Halloween is that you can be completely outrageous and no one can say anything. Generally speaking, this goes for your costume, but it should also apply to your makeup and Halloween accessories! Accessories and makeup are one of the simplest ways to take a costume from regular old drab to sparkling fab. Our site has an incredible selection of accessories and makeup to take your costume to the next level.

            Everyone knows a good scary costume isn’t complete with out the blood and gore factor. For instance, that vampire costume you’ve got? It won’t be the real thing until you’ve snagged our “Love Bites” custom fangs. These babies are deliciously devilish. Mmm Mmm good!

            Every good vampire also needs a lot of blood. Our blood paste is a firm, deep red that you can smear into a wound or drip from your mouth. It won’t move, but it’ll look totally real due to its wetness. It washes off easily with soap and water, so if anyone gets scared, it’s easily removable.

            Feeling elfish? Not until you snag our Elf Ears. These are studio quality and can be worn again and again. They’ll even double for vampire ears. Combine them with a long cape and our love bites fangs and you’ve got yourself the scariest vampire on the block. On their own, they’re sweet with just a hint of scary.

            Looking to blend in? Grab our Camouflage makeup kit, hide in the bushes and presto! Invisibility!

            Going the girly route? The best fairies always have fairy dust handy, or at least, they’re sparkling with glitter! Our Face Paint Glitter comes in every color imaginable, so you can design and color your fairy face any way you’d like.

            If you’re looking to go vixen, your costume won’t be complete without our Feather Boa in red and black. This baby is six feet of feathery perfection, and is guaranteed to spice up even the tamest of costumes. You can also try our Faux Ostrich Boa, the picture of classiness with a dash of sexy.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! HOW TO STAY SAFE

One of the most important things about Halloween is that you remain safe! Here are some tips to make sure you have the best Halloween ever!
1) make sure you travel in groups. that's right, we're advocating that you trick or treat with a giant group of friends (even if mom says its too many people to cook dinner for :) ) it's always safer to be surrounded by a big group. this way, in case you get confused or lost, you have many helping hands around!
2) stay in a neighborhood you know. don't go trick or treating in another neighborhood just because you think they'll have better candy than yours. stay where you know, or at least visit a neighborhood of a friend, so that they'll know their way around. the last thing you want is to get lost and miss out on valuable candy gathering time!
3) if you get a weird feeling about the candy someone's handing out, don't take it. you always get lots of candy on Halloween, so it's ok to be picky :)
4) carry a flashlight! it's dark at night! make sure you can see where you're going.
5)Walk, don't run.
6) Stay on Sidewalks
7) Don't cut across yards or driveways.
8) Wear a watch you can read in the dark.
9) (If no sidewalk) walk on the left side of the road facing traffic
10) Approach only houses that are lit.

Cinderella, Cinderella



   Deep down, every girl’s dream is to be a Disney princess, whether she admits it or not. Girls grow up to be women, but the desire to be a princess never ceases. Here at Halloween Adventures, we believe every woman is a princess, no matter what her age, so we present you with the Disney princess costumes: for adults!

            One of the favorites? Cinderella, of course! The girl with the glass slipper, who spent her days and nights mopping and sweeping and cleaning up after her horrendous stepsisters. But, as we all know, Cinderella soon morphs into a gorgeous girl in a dress fit for a queen! Our Cinderella Prestige Costume is made for the woman who wants to relive her childhood dreams of a princess life.  This costume is a Disney official, so you know it’s the real thing! It includes a full-length dress with attached petticoat underneath, as well as white cap sleeves, a pair of white gloves and a black choker. Glass slippers aren’t included, but can be found here.

            Another princess favorite is Arabian beauty Jasmine. Jasmine steals the heart of Aladdin and mesmerizes all around her with her delicate exotic looks. Our Jasmine Prestige Movie Costume  includes a long regal purple gown with iridescent skirt drape, simulated jewel choker and matching headpiece. Pair with Aladdin for a magical couples costume.

            If you’re looking to go the scary route, check out our amazing Maleficent Deluxe Costume. This scary queen from Sleeping Beauty takes the cake as one of the most awesome evil temptresses in Disney history. This outfit allows you to replicate the fabulosity that is Maleficent’s full-length tunic gown, and incredible horn-like headpiece. Just don’t be surprised if the little kids run away screaming. We know it’s not intentional, nor is it your fault, but this is one scary costume!

            No matter which Disney girl you choose, you’re sure to rock a slammin’ costume. You can never go wrong with a princess or a queen, especially when they’re Disney! Happy Halloweening!


Sexy Fairyland





Fairyland!

            In female-land, Halloween is the only day of the year on which you can dress like a complete slut and no one can say a thing. It might not be right, it might not be a redeeming female thought, but hey, it’s the truth, so you might as well embrace it and enjoy! After all, who doesn’t want to just go a little crazy every once and a while?

            What better way to take on sexy than to go the sexy fairy tale route? We’ll start with the Black Fairy Velvet Costume, a confection complete with belt, shoulder pieces and wings. Who said fairies have to be all sugar and no spice? This costume allows you to be as bad as you’d like to be as you dance through the music of the night. Take it one step further and add some sass with our long black wig.

            If black’s a bit too dark for you, try our Night Bloom Fairy Costume. This purple getup comes complete with sheer purple wings with glitter accents, as well as a matching choker, hair scrunchie and purple shimmer belt. It’s sexy with just a dash of sweet and plenty of mystery.

            If you want to go totally girly, you’ve got to get your hands on our Pink Sexy Fairy costume! This outfit is pink prissy perfection! A brocade and panne dress with devours inserts and matching sleeves, it’s a cross between Good Witch Glinda and gorgeous ballerina. Comes with pink sheer wings. Up, up and away you go!

            For something in between, check out our Twilight Fairy Fantasy Costume. This costume is pretty at its best, a delicate lavender dress with multi-colored sequin trim and matching choker. A delightfully candy-colored confection, it comes with gorgeous sheer wings with pink, white and gold sparkly accents. Sexy, and beautiful!

            For more sexy accents, check out our selection of tiaras, wigs, and 

Wonder Woman Costumes!





            Channel that fabulous woman sent by the all female Amazons to the “man’s world.” Wonder Woman’s powers includesuper-strength, hand-to-hand combat ability, and flight. She also makes use of her Lasso of Truth (which forces those bound by it to tell the truth), a pair of bullet-deflecting bracelets, and an invisible plane. Lucky for you, we’ve got a bunch of Wonder Woman costumes to help you become the badass superhero you’ve always wanted to be!

            Start with sexy in our Wonder Babe Adult Superhero Costume. This sexy super hero costume includes a red cape and a gold red blue and white dress with a red sequin star. This one is guaranteed to have everyone staring at your goods, so it might not be the best choice for an office Halloween party, but it’s definitely good for a party party!

            Looking for the real deal? Check out our Wonder Woman Adult Superhero Costume. This one is straight of the DC comics, and might just remind you of the costume Rachel Bilson wore as Summer on the OC the night she made Seth Cohen choose between her and Anna (we were always a Summer fan, all the way).

             Wonder girls can sport our Wonder Woman Children’s Superhero Costume. Costume includes: Gold headband with Red Star, Red cape, Red, White & Blue leotard, Gold belt & lasso, Silver bracelets and Red & White boot tops. Looks great paired with a Superman costume!

            For something a bit different, try our Wonder Woman Deluxe Historical Superhero costume, a hybrid outfit that pairs the DC comic hero with Alice in Wonderland’s Queen of Hearts. This costume includes long dress with queen card print top and red bottom, heart-styled tiara, heart wand, and choker with heart pendant.

            Whichever Wonder Woman you choose to be, remember that the best part of a costume like this is that it requires a good deal of self confidence! Put one of these babies on and get ready to rock it this Halloween, because you’re here and you’re fabulous! 

Halloween Hats and Headgear!




Rockin’ Headgear

            Whatever you decide to be this Halloween, it’s imperative that you pick up some rockin’ headgear. No, we don’t mean the kind your orthodontist gave you! We mean the kind from our website. Our hat section features everything from King Leonidas’ Headpiece to airplane pilot hats.

            Do you know someone who just loooves flying? Send her out like Amelia Earheardt in our Adult Aviator Hat. Up, up and away she goes!

            Rock it out old school and pay homage to Dr. Seuss in our bangin’ Cat in the Hat Velvet Tall Hat. This hat is officially licensed from the 2003 Cat in the Hat movie, so you can be sure it’s authentic. Don’t be surprised if people start asking you for some green eggs and ham.

            Conquer new territory in our Colonial Tricorn hat. Whoever said colonialism was just a boring topic in history class was wrong. This hat brings the sexy! It’s powerful AND historical at the same time!

            Send the spooky with our Crooked Witch Hat. Double, double, toil and trouble! This hat goes perfectly with anything shaggy, anything spooky and anything black. Black cat not included.

            Looking to rock a hat that’s crooked but not at all spooky? Harry Potter fans will LOVE our Harry Potter Deluxe Sorting Hat! This hat is made for those who feel they’ve got a magical intuition, or for those who are just huge Potter fans. It even has the features of the face sewn in!

            No matter what costume you choose, make sure you top it off with the perfect finale: a fantastical hat! Check out our selection here. Happy Halloween!

George and Martha Washington!




   Everyone knows that Halloween is generally a time for men to dress scary and women to dress sexy, but maybe it’s time for a departure from this method. Want to go the opposite route? Well, how about going historical! No, we don’t mean sexy hippie, we mean the Washingtons, George and Martha (among others, of course).

            Our George Washington Adult Historical Costume is the perfect way to pay your respects to our first leader even if it’s not the 4th of July! It includes a historically accurate blue jacket with gold trim, a grey vest and grey pants. If you’re going to dress like Georgie, you might as well go all the way. Top it off with our George Washington Colonial Wig, a smooth and distinguished (and very tall!) hairpiece that exudes a highly presidential air.

            If you’re looking to replicate the hairstyle of Miss Martha herself, we recommend our Madame De Pompadour Wig, a hairpiece that subtly compliments George Washington’s, so that husband and wife can look powerful and polished together.  

            If it’s another president’s look you desire, try our Abraham Lincoln Adult Historic Costume. This deluxe getup includes a long black coat (Abe’s signature), as well as pants, vest, stovepipe hat and requisite beard. Don’t be surprised if the neighbors start asking you for advice regarding the upcoming election!

            If you’re not looking for the whole shebang, check out our Abraham Lincoln Heroes in History Kit. This kit includes a beard and a stovepipe hat, but you’ll have to practice Abe’s speeches on your own time.

            Another idea is to try out our Ben Franklin Historical Costume, a look so close to Ben’s that you might swear you’ve transcended the limits of time! The costume includes a jacket with attached vest and white cuffs, matching knickers and white socks, shoe covers and a white jabot. Top it off with our Ben Franklin Heroes in History Kit, which includes the headpieces and eyeglasses needed to transform you from ordinary Joe into historical hero. 

            No matter which famous historical hero you choose, make sure to educate yourself on the politics that go with them! While you’re at it, educate yourself on the politics of today as well. With one of the most important elections in recent history coming up, make like a historical hero and know your stuff.  

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL





What Team? WILDCATS!

            Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of a little phenomenon called High School Musical. Disney Channel’s smash hit TV movie turned its then unheard of actors into teen superstars. This Halloween, snag one of our many High School Musical costumes and let your teen superstar bring down the house. After seeing HSM3: Senior Year this past weekend, I'm happy to report we have a wide variety of HSM costumes available!

            Girls will love our High School Musical 2 Gabriella Star Dazzler Costume. It includes a dress with an attached Gabriella-esque bow and matching necklace. Add one of our superstarmicrophones, and your daughter is ready to take the stage!

Check out our Sharpay End of the School Year Costume, which includes a red delicious velvet top, gold lame cropped leggings and a fabulous headband with bow.

Getting Ready for Halloween!

You only have a few precious hours each Halloween to get in every ounce of trick-or-treating fun before the end of the evening. Do you just go out, haphazardly knocking on doors, hoping someone will be home and willing to treat your kids or do you develop a game plan with A, B, and C backups?

If the latter is your philosophy, kudos to you! You’re a real go-getter and we admire you for it. But if your idea of a great Halloween is walking around for hours and having nothing to show for it save for a pitiful pail of cheap Halloween treats, shame on you! Your kids love Halloween and it’s up to you to make it the best it can be for them. They want candy and lots of it and it’s your responsibility to ensure that your children’sHalloween is as magical and candy lucrative as possible. But don’t worry—we have a game plan established that will help you gain favor with your favorite little ghosts and goblins this year.

The perfect trick-or-treating plan consists of organization and effective time management. You only have three hours to help your kids collect as many sugary, rich, and delectable name-brand goodies as possible, so let’s get going! Follow our handy guideline to establish the perfect trick-or-treating plan:



1. Gather two shopping bags per child to leave in your car. One shopping bag will hold the candy that your kids collect from people they know; the other will be for parental candy inspection.

2. Begin the evening no later than 5 o’clock. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, and neighbors won’t mind if you’re little one shows up early for treats. Make each visit short and cut the chitchat! Time is of the essence! You can discuss work, life, and love tomorrow!

3. Hit every trunk-or-treat spot in town. Park your car and prepare to walk fast. Stop briefly at each car, gather the loot, and move on until your kids have collected every ounce of candy possible. Then, head out to the next trunk-or-treat festival. (If the festivals are placed within a few miles of each other, your kids can load up on sugary goodness at three or more trunk-or-treating events within an hour.)

4. Empty your child’s trick-or-treating pail into the appropriate shopping bag each time you get in the car. (Most people will be stingy with the goods when the pail is full, so empty it as often as possible.)

5. After your kids have drained the trunk-or-treating parking lots dry, it’s time to move on to the ritzier areas of town. The more affluent areas of your city are goldmines for yummy, name-brand treats. Choose well-lit streets, stay on the sidewalk, and walk fast.


Trick-or-treating isn’t just about the candy—for most kids, it’s the excitement and exhilaration of the hunt that makes Halloweenfun. So, go out there, give them your best, and prepare to wow them with your perfect trick-or-treating plan!

Do you dare to decorate?





 Halloween is less than two days away, and you've barely begun to decorate! Here are some quick and easy ideas for a spooky good time. 

            Hang our Skeleton Spider from the kitchen fan. Next time someone turns the fan on, they’ll get a little skeleton surprise! This toy is also great for the front porch as a way to attach trick or treaters.

            If you really want to give them a scare, try our Latex Ghoul. We’d recommend putting him anywhere from the foot of the stairs to smack dab in the middle of the front yard, or perhaps even next to the mailbox. He’s not as mean as he looks, we promise!

            If the ghoul is too much for you, try “planting” ourGruesome Ground Breaker in the front yard. This package contains two hands, each one on a small 2” stake. They’re spooky as can be! Talk about raising the dead!

            Throwing a Halloween party? Decorate in style with our Halloween Pumpkin Bunting. This is an adorable way to jazz up a space! Black and orange bunting measures approximately 20' long with 5 pumpkin tie-backs that have self-gripping fasteners. The best part? You can reuse it again and again, so if your parties become infamous, your bunting will too!

            Scare them as soon as they come up the front steps with our Hanging Grey Reaper. 20" Hanging Gray Reaper is wearing a shredded gray gauze shroud with attached hood. Reaper measures approximately 20" high. Made of plastic with a gauze robe and hood. Has plastic shackles connected to neck and wrists. This guy is absolutely as freaky as it gets.

            Get ‘em good with our Posable Spiders. Spiders are the one thing almost everyone is scared of, so they’re the perfect addition to a Halloween party. Place them next to the punch and watch people jump, or stick them on the floor when everyone is walking around. You can also attach them to a string and dangle them in the doorway. Yikes!

Plus Size Divas



            This post aims to let curvaceous women know that there are plenty of costumes out there for them! Far too often, plus size women shy away from costumes because they think the outfits won’t come in their size. This might be true on some sites, but here at Halloween Adventure, we think every shape and size is perfect as is! Hence, we sell a myriad of costumes for plus size women, because big IS beautiful!

            Looking to do a period costume? Do a riff off the famous three musketeers and snag our Lady Musketeer Costume in Plus Size. This stunner includes a daring tie up long sleeved bustier top in black velvet, as well as a fabulous white skirt with brown velvet down the sides and gorgeous gold detailing. A history lesson isn’t required, but in this getup, you might be asked to give one!

            You’ve never seen a soccer referee look so good. Our Lipstick Referee Sport Sexy Costume in Plus Size is an absolute knockout. It includes a black and white striped dress with an attached petticoat for extra poof, as well as a whistle (for out of bounds playing!) and matching striped socks. The boys ain’t even seen nothing like this!

            Calling all cutesy girls! Our Little Bo Peep Adult Costume isn’t for little girls, but it’s as cute as a button. Even if you don’t plan to herd any sheep, check out this fantastic getup. It includes a peach-colored dress with mock vest and sheep appliqué, pantaloons, and mop hat. The sheep you may have to find on your own.

            Star in your own opera with our Madame Butterfly Costume in Plus Size. This delicate and deliberate confection of pink silky goodness is guaranteed to wow.  It features a gorgeous printed kimono with Japanese writing, as well as a traditional belt with an Obi (traditional decorated cloth). A geisha wig is sold separately, but you can find it HERE. 
            Last but certainly not least is our Magnificent Witch Costume in Plus Size.  This costume is, well, as the name states, absolutely magnificent. It’s a take on Sleeping Beauty’s dangerous and frightening bag witch, Milificent, and includes a long black dress with purple bat-wing sleeves and fuchsia accents. It also includes an attached stand-up collar and foam headpiece. It’s positively perfectly scary and sexy all at once!

            Remember: Just because this mini-series is over doesn’t mean there aren’t millions more options for curvy girls on our website. Visit the online catalog for many more choices. Whatever you choose to wear this Halloween, make sure you wear it with pride. Confidence is the best accessory a girl can have.  


Celebrate the Twilight Premiere!

TWILIGHT COSTUMES

            For years now, people have been all over Harry Potter. The irresistible boy who lived has captivated the hearts and souls of both children and adults. But Harry better look out! There’s a new children’s book series hot on his heels. HP, meet Twilight, a series of books about young vampires from author Stephanie Meyer. Meyer’s been crafting her tales in the hopes of reaching, just like Harry Potter did, both children and their parents, and everyone in between. CHECK OUT THE NEWEST TWILIGHT TRAILER HERE: http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Second-Twlight-Trailer-9553.html         

   This Halloween, channel the Twilight stars, now in the pages of their books, but soon to hit big screens in the Twilightmovie, which is filming as we speak.  Those who want to go all out can channel the Twilight crew in our Classic Vampire Scary Horror Children’s Costume. This costume includes cape, vest with bow tie, medallion, cummerbund and gloves.

            Want to be the kind of vampire that nobody notices until you open your mouth? Try our fantastic Love Bites Deluxe Custom Fangs. Your prey won’t know what hit them until you open your mouth and it’s too late! These babies are so bad you don’t even need a costume to go with!

            Go the easy route with our Vampire Ears. These are, much like the Love Bites featured above, the perfect way to go if you want to mimic the Twilight Crew without too much effort. One of the best things about the Twilight stories is that the kids are vampires, but they’re also teenagers dealing with normal teen problems. You might feel compelled to try and hide your ears once you’ve got these on, but remember, if the Twilight kids can rock them, so can you!  

            For a scary effect, pair the Love Bites with our Stage Blood. Stage Blood is a bright red water-based product that looks exactly like fresh spurting blood. Stage Blood dries just like real blood. Drip some blood down the side of your mouth, and you’ve got a realistic vampire effect.

            Other costume ideas include our Vampire Elite Collection Child’s Costume, a decadent outfit that includes velvet vest with attached shirt sleeves, dickie shirt front with scarf collar, full-length lined satin cape, pants and medallion on ribbon.

            Girls can try our Gothic Vampira Elite Collection Child Costume, a fabulous getup that includes  a full-length lace-trimmed panne and shimmer satin gown, jeweled choker and tulle and lace petticoat. This costume is perfect for the heartbreaker, it’s bad and beautiful all at once.

            No matter which costume you choose, rock it vampire style! Be sure to get your hands on the Twilight and join the growing legion of fans!

           

Egyptian Style!





This Halloween, make like 80s girl group The Bangles and walk like an Egyptian in our many Egyptian themed costumes. The Egyptians had luxury down to a science, so for one night, dress gorgeous, put up your feet, and do that funky walk.

            Teens will love our Egyptian Princess Teen Costume. This gorgeous costume includes dress, headband with medallion, and gold armbands. We’d recommend spicing it up with heavy black cat eyed eyeliner, gold shoes and maybe even a long black haired wig.

            What’s that you say? You’ve always wanted to be queen? Well, tonight’s your night! Our Egyptian Queen Adult Costume is a fabulous, historically accurate getup. This glorious, fully finished garment includes a long white split-front satin gown with zipper in back and an attached two-tone shimmer fabric drape, sparkling in the light from a rich teal to a glistening gold. A gold sequin belt with attached puff-print apron, puff-print Egyptian style collar, and a gold sequin headpiece with faux jewel accent also included.

            Fancy ladies will also love our Nefertiti Adult Costume. Deck yourself out in all black this Halloween in a costume that includes a sexy long black number with gold detailing by the bust as well as down the front. Costume also includes a gold headpiece to help you work it!

Wear your Political Statement on your Sleeve..err, Face!




 This Halloween, wear your political statement: on your face! We have a variety of masks that’ll help you portray the candidate you intend to vote for, or perhaps, to mimic the candidate you don’t like. Either way, so long as you ensure that you’re not malicious or offensive to those around you, imitating popular politicians is a great Halloween idea!

            Start with our Barack Obama Adult Mask. Is this the face of our next president? He's the new kid on the block with "rock star" appeal and one of the most fun names in politics! Bahama Mama? NO! It's Barack Obama! This realistic over-the-head mask is made of soft vinyl and showcases the democratic hopeful's facial features and signature hairstyle.

            If old world (ok, just plan old) is more your style, try our John McCain mask.  Are you a true blue Republican? Then show your support for this Presidential candidate. John McCain is the Republican Senator from Arizona who wants to change his residence from the Grand Canyon State to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. This realistic over-the-head mask is made of soft vinyl and showcases the republican hopeful's facial features and signature hairstyle.

            Maybe you can’t let go of the past. You were a Clinton supporter then, and you’re still one now. You just pretend he’s still president. Well, what better way to show your love for Bill than with our Bill Clinton Mask? Perhaps you can weasel your way back into the White House with this one. It is quite realistic!

            Go way back to the beloved JFK days with our John F Kennedy mask. Loved by many, a man that left us too young deserves to be remembered. While it’s great to commemorate a great president on any day, wear yours this Halloween, because it’s a day so close to this year’s elections! Use it to spark political debate. Talk isn’t action, but it’s a good starting point!

            Where all my independent women at? Girls, step it up this Halloween. Instead of going skanky, go political! Try our Hillary Rodham Clinton mask. She may have lost the democratic vote for Presidential hopeful, but she’s still at the top of many women’s lists. She’s smart, hardworking, and she knows her stuff! GO HIL!

Gettin' Wiggy With It!

By now, you know that even the most perfect Halloween costume isn't complete without a coordinating costume wig. Just like your hairstyle can affect your mood and how others perceive you, your costume wig will affect how other's view your costume. If your wig is mismatched or inappropriate it can ruin the entire look of your costume.

So, how do you select the perfect costume wig? Well, with all thecostume wigs available at HalloweenAdventure.com, it may be difficult. The perfect costume wig is out there, you just have to find it. That's where we come in!
As always, HalloweenAdventure.com is here to save the day! (shameless plug) Instead of selecting a costume wig to go with the perfect costume, why not select a costume to go with the perfect wig?

In many cases, the wig is impressive enough to stand on its own and the costume becomes the accessory. To show you what we mean, we've taken the liberty of compiling a list of the coolest costume wigs that will make it easy for you to put together a costume to go with them. And, because we just like creating quizzes, we've constructed a quiz to help you decide which one is right for you.

So without further ado, here is our Cool Costume Wigs That Aren't Necessarily Accessories But Moreso Costume Starters Countdown, Quiz, and Coordinating Costume List: (You don't think the title is too long do you?)

5. Do you have so much money that you could buy and sell everyone in America but not enough to do something about that horrendous hairdo you've been sporting since 1965? Then our number 5 costume wig is perfect for you! Imagine the delight on everyone's face when you wear our "You're Fired" costume wig. Even The Donald is envious of our stunning brown comb-over wig! Costume Idea: A simple business suit.

4. Do you spend your evenings looking for the hottest disco dive in town only to wind up watching reruns of "Welcome Back Kotter" and "Good Times"? Do you pray that the happenin' 1970's fashions will return for a third time just so you won't have to buy new clothing? Then get ready to break out the platform shoes and don our cool Super Fro costume wig. This massive afro may not fit through the door of the dance club, but don't worry-- the party will follow you wherever you go when you're super fly in our super fro! Costume Idea: Bell-bottoms, platform shoes, shiny shirt, and dark shades.

3. Are you ready to party like it's 1985? Do you spend your Friday nights playing old Lynyrd Skynyrd songs on your acoustic guitar only to become frustrated when you can't quite remember the lyrics to "Tuesday's Gone"? Have you mastered every step in the "Achy Breaky Heart" line dance? Then prepare to score some chicks this Halloween when you wear our totally rockin' Super Mullet Costume Wig! It's all business up front and party in the back for the coolest dude in town! Costume Idea: Ripped jeans, a cut-sleeved flannel shirt, a white wife beater, and construction worker boots.

2. Are you still rockin' that Poison tat like you were when Bret Michaels was cool, oh so long ago? Do you find that men are more attractive in thick black eyeliner and pink lipstick? Do your teenage neighbors beg you to turn down your hairband music while you're in the front lawn trying to get the Trans Am running again? Then prepare to rock it like it's hot in our cool 80's Rock Star Wig. Not since the days of Cinderella and Dokken have men's hair styles been more feminine! Costume Idea: More makeup than Tammy Faye, acid washed jeans with ripped knees, a black tank top, studded leather jewelry.

And finally, the number one cool costume wig that's not necessarily an accessory but moreso a costume starter:

Do you miss the days of free love and peace rallies? Do you have vivid flashbacks thanks to the truckload of drugs you "sampled" during Woodstock? Do you remember when "Puff the Magic Dragon was a hit"? Then relive your glory days yet again in our totally groovy 1960's Hippie Wig! Let the love pour like cheap wine this Halloween! Costume Idea: Blue jeans, tie dyed t-shirt, and John Lennon shades.

So there you have it. Yet again, HalloweenAdventure.com has managed to give you marvelous ideas for your Halloween costume and we did it all without ever mentioning how cool we are or that we've been in business since 1981 or that we have over 100 costume shops all across the country, or that if you purchase $100 or more in merchandise from our massive website that you'll receive FREE shipping. . . . We didn't mention any of that.

I’m too sexy for my shirt!

            In female-land, Halloween is the only day of the year on which you can dress like a complete slut and no one can say a thing. It might not be right, it might not be a redeeming female thought, but hey, it’s the truth, so you might as well embrace it and enjoy! After all, who doesn’t want to just go a little crazy every once and a while?

            What better way to take on sexy than to go the sexy fairy tale route? We’ll start with the Black Fairy Velvet Costume, a confection complete with belt, shoulder pieces and wings. Who said fairies have to be all sugar and no spice? This costume allows you to be as bad as you’d like to be as you dance through the music of the night. Take it one step further and add some sass with our long black wig.

            If black’s a bit too dark for you, try our Night Bloom Fairy Costume. This purple getup comes complete with sheer purple wings with glitter accents, as well as a matching choker, hair scrunchie and purple shimmer belt. It’s sexy with just a dash of sweet and plenty of mystery.

            If you want to go totally girly, you’ve got to get your hands on our Pink Sexy Fairy costume! This outfit is pink prissy perfection! A brocade and panne dress with devours inserts and matching sleeves, it’s a cross between Good Witch Glinda and gorgeous ballerina. Comes with pink sheer wings. Up, up and away you go!

            For something in between, check out our Twilight Fairy Fantasy Costume. This costume is pretty at its best, a delicate lavender dress with multi-colored sequin trim and matching choker. A delightfully candy-colored confection, it comes with gorgeous sheer wings with pink, white and gold sparkly accents. Sexy, and beautiful!

            For more sexy accents, check out our selection of tiaras, wigs, and wings! Decorate your face with our wide range of glitter, colorful, gorgeous makeup!

Animalicious Costumes!





   This Halloween, pay homage to the other half of our species. No, we don’t mean men; we mean animals! Some we think of as pets, some we see in zoos, some we see as food, but let’s face it, all of them make great costumes!

            Buggin’ out? Women can rock our Lady Bug Adult Classic Costume. This costume is as adorable as can be, with a short red mini dress with black spots, black and red wings and a little hat with antennae. It even comes with black gloves!

            Go sexy with our Peacock Animal Costume. This costume includes a fabulous striped dress with blues, greens and gold. It comes with a giant peacock tail that fans out behind you, and a feathered headpiece. Peacocks aren’t a usual costume choice, so you can be sure you’ll be the only girl around with this baby on!

            Men and women alike can rock our Penguin Adult Costume. This costume is funny and cute at the same time. Grab a bunch of them and make like March of the Penguins! Another funny option (though along a different vein) is our Pigs in a Blanket Adult Costume. If penguins aren’t your thing, maybe pigs are! Oink oink!

            Teens can rock our Cat’s Meow Teen Costume. Costume includes a full out spotted body suit with attached tail, a headband with adorable ears and glovelets. Meeeowww, girl!

            Make some moooo-sic with our Comical Cow Costume. Costume includes black & white cow print jumpsuit, headpiece with attached horns & ears and of course the udder. It’s sure to get some laughs out of even the most sour of partygoers.

            Get things buzzin’ in our Fly Girl Adult Costume. This one’s got a double meaning, giving a shout out to old school Fly Girls like JLO and a shout out to our least favorite bugs. Flies might not be well liked, but you will be, because this costume is great! It includes a black dress with blue “FLY GIRL” writing, realistic looking wings, and a little hat with antennae. Buzz buzz buzz!

            For more animal costumes, visit Halloween Adventures!


Double, double, toil and trouble! Harry Potter Costumes!



The boy who lived, otherwise known as Harry Potter, is the baddest wizard around. This Halloween, do a take on Harry and his friends with our wide variety of Harry Potter costumes. We’ve got everything from Ron and Hermione to Voldemort and the Death Eaters; so no matter which side you choose, you won’t lack an outfit.

            We’ll start with the boy who started it all: Harry Potter himself! Our Premium HP Gryffindor Costume is the perfect way to dress as Harry.  It features a premium deluxe hooded robe is made of Black velvet and lined in Burgundy satin with a front clasp and the Gryffindor Crest on the front.  We recommend practicing Quidditch in this robe, sure to keep you warm at all times! Wand sold separately here.            

            For Ron and Hermione, try our Gryffindor Robes. These robes match Harry’s, so they can even be used for a Neville or Seamus costume. They feature black ankle length robes with attached hoods, burgundy accents, front close clasps and an embroidered Gryffindor Crest patch on the front. Be sure to get them cleaned and pressed in Diagon Alley before you start up school at Hogwarts!

            Got blonde hair? Have a thing for Draco Malfoy? The baddest troublemaker at Hogwarts (after Harry himself, of course!) is Malfoy, and we’ve got a Slytherin Robe Costume to help you channel him. The mean attitude and the high-pitched voice you’ll have to master on your own. Costume includes robe, shirt and tie. 

            If you’re looking to go the scary route, we have two options: Death Eaters and Dementors. Freaky and frightening, these numbers are as scary as they look. Our Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Deluxe Death Eaters costume features a grey and white mask that’s so realistic you could swear you’ve mutated into a real servant of Voldemort! The costume includes a hooded cape with attached shirtfront and mask.

            Another freaky and fabulous HP costume is our Harry Potter Dementor Costume! You may want to practice your scary hands so that when you invade the Hogwarts Express en route to school, or ruin a Quidditch game, you do so believably.  Costume includes Black character mask and long black robe with chest piece.

Spooky Scary Costumes for Girls!

OP FIVE SCARIEST CHILDREN’S COSTUMES FOR GIRLS

            We know most girls prefer to be pretty princesses on Halloween, but we also know there are some girls who are just born to be bad and want to rock it scary-style while they Trick or Treat. So, we’ve created a list just for those girls, a list of costumes so scary you might swear you accidentally switched your child with someone’s zombie.

            For those who want one foot in the water and one foot out, try our Dazzling Devil Children’s Costume. This Dazzling Devil is adorable in red and black. Dress has black trim hem and criss-cross front panel, and sheer red flowing sleeves. Also included are red headband horns and of course a pointed red tail.

Feeling bad? Try our Snow White Evil Queen Teen Costume. This officially licensed Disney costume is a perfect way to illustrate that you’re smart, evil and you mean business! It features a great bluish purple silk dress with batwing sheer sleeves with gold detailing, as well as a fabulous foam collar, emblem, hood and of course, a crown! If Snow White’s lessons are any indication, a girl in this costume is not to be messed with.

Scary Harry Potter fans will fawn over our Death Eater Bellatrix Children’s  Costume. Our Female Death Eater Bellatrix costume comes complete with dress with cummerbund and attached hood, and mask. This costume is perhaps the scariest female costume we’ve got! Just picture Bellatrix broadcast widescreen in the movies with that terribly maniacal laugh. Channel her evil and go to town! Just remember, death eaters may scare younger children, so wear with caution.

Practice your kung-fu moves in our Jewel Dragon Ninja Costume. This costume is only as scary as you make it, so learning some karate is advisable! You’ve got to be able to show off the skills to match your outfit! Includes a polyester jumpsuit, princess satin vest with character screen print dragon and face mask.

Brother and sister teams can rock our Pirate costumes. For girls, check out  our Pirate Girl Elite Collection Child Costume. It includes: Mid-length dress, gold trimmed lace-up vinyl vest, tulle petticoat, sash, bandana and jeweled choker.  Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of… juice?

Tips for a super fun, and super safe Halloween!

One of the most important things about Halloween is that you remain safe! Here are some tips to make sure you have the best Halloween ever!
1) make sure you travel in groups. that's right, we're advocating that you trick or treat with a giant group of friends (even if mom says its too many people to cook dinner for :) ) it's always safer to be surrounded by a big group. this way, in case you get confused or lost, you have many helping hands around!
2) stay in a neighborhood you know. don't go trick or treating in another neighborhood just because you think they'll have better candy than yours. stay where you know, or at least visit a neighborhood of a friend, so that they'll know their way around. the last thing you want is to get lost and miss out on valuable candy gathering time!
3) if you get a weird feeling about the candy someone's handing out, don't take it. you always get lots of candy on Halloween, so it's ok to be picky :)
4) carry a flashlight! it's dark at night! make sure you can see where you're going.
5)Walk, don't run.
6) Stay on Sidewalks
7) Don't cut across yards or driveways.

Hat Times Part II






Hat Times Part II

            Everyone knows that the hat makes the man, especially when it comes to a Halloween costume. Don’t mess around this season, and make sure you top of your fabulous costume with the best cap there is!

            Remember when Trucker Hats were so in? Thankfully, they’re out, so now we can make fun of those who loved them. Do just that in our Living the Life Trucker Hat. This hat looks great with some Carhardt pants and a stained t-shirt (not that we’re stereotyping truckers or anything… we’ve met some very nice ones and well put together ones).

            Your little princess will adore our Princess in Training Child’s Hat.  This pink triangular cap has a little pom pom on the top and reads in silver glitter: princess in training. Totally cute!

            If you’re covering everything up, you might as well go as a Puritan. Our Pilgrim ancestors would’ve worn a hat atop their heads, so you should do the same. Our deluxe Puritan/Pilgrim hat is available in black wool with a real leather band and a silver color buckle accent in front. Hat stands approximately 8” tall.

            Go as an old favorite this Halloween with our Raggedy Ann Wig with Hat.  A white Raggedy Ann cap style bonnet with attached red yarn wig. One size fits most. This is an officially licensed Classic Raggedy Ann & Andy product. This looks great if you paint some freckles on your face (if you don’t have them naturally, that is!)

            Make like Ali G in our Rapper Goatee. We know this isn’t a hat, but it’s so great that we had to share. Includes a self adhesive mustache and goatee beard combo in the color black. We’d recommend a brightly colored do-rag and a whole lot of attitude to go with.

            Christmas might be far off, but who says you can’t get into the swing of things a little bit early? Our Red Holiday Hat helps you do just that! Bring in the holiday spirit with the Red Holiday Hat, with red and white faux fur with attached white pom pom.

            Instead of running from the police, become the police! Our Special Police Hat is so believable; you might be able to pull off an arrest (ok, maybe that’s going a bit too far). The hat is blue and black cloth with "Special Police" patch attached.

            Another hat that harkens to Hogwarts is our Wizard Hat in Brown Suede.  This tall, crooked brown wizard hat is styled to look like it was patched together. This looks great with a wizard’s cape and a magic wand!

Makeup Basics Part I

Makeup Basics!

            This Halloween, no costume is complete without the right makeup. In this two part series, we’ll show you what makeup can be used for what costume, and how to apply it.

            If you plan on being a vampire, a wolf, a zombie, or anything that might require some blood, you have to have our Blood Gel. Blood Gel is a deep red syrup-based blood that never dries, giving the look of oozing, wet, thick blood. Washes off easily with soap and water. Apply with a paint brush, Q-tip, or your finger.

            No clown costume is complete without a full out face of makeup. Sure, that red nose is important, but the white face and special designs are the most important part! Our Bozo Makeup Kit is the easiest way to get all the makeup you’d need for a clown costume in one place.  Make-Up kit includes large tube of white cream make-up, six mulitcolor crayons (white, red, black, blue, green and yellow) and one applicator sponge. Use the sponge to cover the entirety of your face white, then use the crayons to draw fun shapes atop the white. Also check out another clown kit here.

            Joining the army for one night only? The best soldiers know you can’t blend in without some camo. Our Camouflage Makeup Kit, This E-Z Character FX makeup kit includes: Two white sponges, Mini shaker of powder, Mini puff, Small flat brush, and Black, wolf brown and green make-up. Use the kit to paint stripes of green and brown that extend across your entire face!

            Another must have is our Colored Liquid Body Latex Paint. Use colored liquid latex to create exotic, dazzling and durable fantasy designs. Colored Liquid Body Latex is bold and rich with color and has excellent elastic properties allowing for ease of movement and comfort. Once applied, these fantasy designs can walk, dance, and even swim with you so long as they don’t get heavy friction. To remove, simply scratch loose an edge and peel off.

            Have to fake an injury? It’s easy with our Ex Fx Injury Kit. Kit includes blood gel for the cut, a white makeup sponge to fake that pale look you get when you’re hurt, a black stipple sponge for the blood gel and an ‘injury stack’ with four colors to fake it well!

            Any fairy costume isn’t complete without a TON of glitter. Thankfully, our Face Painting Glitter comes in 8 different colors! Available in the following colors: Opalescent, Silver, Gold, Red, Orange, Green, Blue, and Purple. Perfect for showing team spirit at your next sporting event or putting a finishing touch on your Halloween costume. Pick up a stick in every color and let your imagination go wild!
