Halloween Costumes Deal

Posts Tagged ‘Candy’

My son who is almost 3 used to be a very agreeable child. Now he objects to every routine. I picked a costume character that is is one of his favorites and introduced him to the costume last night. He wants nothing to do with it and had a screaming tantrum when we put it on. We have several ideas for how to get him to "warm up" to the costume but I thought it would be interesting to hear what others have to say.
Update:
Here is what I did.
I put the costume on every night for 2 days leading up to Halloween and he protested every night and ripped off his hat. I hung the costume on his closet door so he could get used to seeing it and he did talk to me about it. On Halloween morning I woke him up wearing a silly hat on my head. He started to think that was fun and then later he put on my silly hat. We usually don’t let him have candy but I will admit I totally bribed him with candy on Halloween eve. I gave him some resee peices and told him that if he wanted some more he would have to put his hat on. He left the room to go looking for his hat, put it on and got a good attitude quickly! One "fun size" bag of resee peices went a long way! Then he forgot he was wearing a costume and just went out to play. When his little friend came over and we started trick-or-treating he was then totally having a good time but I don’t think he cared about the costume.

I grew up in a Christian home and my parents made sure I never ever, not even once got to go trick-er-treating! My husband was alowed to go but stopped when he found out Halloween was satanic. I don’t want my kids to feel left out like I did, but I’ve not taken them Halloweening either. Then to see the prices of costumes at WalMart felt like more of a trick than a treat. Since they are in public school they want to dress up which is the closest I will allow them to take part in this. Where can I go and not pay + for something they will use once and once only. Am I the lone ranger in this or are there other parents out there who don’t honor this holiday? So how about taking my kids out to eat instead, or giving them a candy budget? IF my church isn’t providing an alturntive then where else should I look for an alturtunitive to the Halloweening seen? I wouldn’t mind a clean, family friendly fall harvest thing for them to do instead. I just don’t want my kids to feel left out.

I am going to be an ’80s girl for halloween.
I need:
Legwarmers
Lace fingerless gloves
Bright red lipstick
A miniskirt
A flashdance sweater or maybe a vintage michael jackson shirt? (everyone loved mj in ‘82 :])

Also, what kind of shoes should I get to go with the legwarmers? High top converse doesn’t sound like it’d look right. What else do I need for my costume?

Again also, Is this even a good costume? My mom says I won’t stand out and that nobody will understand my costume; but most people who pay attention to the costumes are the ones who give out candy and they would have most likely been born in the ’80s.

What should I do with my hair?
you’re hilarious

Alright, I am going to a Halloween party on Saturday. There are going to be kids from the ages of 9months – 6 years. I’m helping pass out candy and I’m supposed to dress not scary for the kids but just cute and something the kids could recongize. I don’t have money and I need to have the costume ready by Saturday. Any suggestions on what to be. Also I need to figure out a castume for my boyfriend as well because we are both helping out. Any suggestions or expirence is appreciated. I need something kinda do it yourself.

i need some ideas for a home made halloween costume for my little boy. i dont have money to got out a buy one so i need to make something up? i want him to have a good halloween i dont want him to miss out and see other kids getting candy and wonders why hes not

I know Halloween is over lol but I’m just curious to what you all think about my halloween costume. When my friend and I went trick or treating I got a lot of stares, and people were like "what..the?" and mostly little kids though lol. And than when I got home, a trick or treater came to the door and I gave them some candy and this one girl asked me "Are you Bloody Mary?" and from my costume, I dont know what got you think I was bloody mary. But I took it as a compliment because I was actually going to be bloody mary but than I changed my mind and decided to a dead Alice in Wonderland. Well yeah..if you saw me trick or treating would you say my costume was dead Alice or bloody mary? and is it that scary of a costume?

I don’t mean to brag..lol but I thought I looked great.
Jeez ":O" I tried my hardest

Meany!
I’m 15 so no, I don’t think I’m to old to be Trick or Treating, thank you.

And say "sorry no candy for you" for costumes that i deem to not be suited for Halloween (such as a monkey, Michael Jackson, bunnies, anything that is not scary)
Its my candy. Its my house. My rules.

My son is 10 yrs old and has never experienced a school halloween party where they get to dress up cuz of sooo many sickos out there ruin sh*t. Please don’t mail me about it being an evil holiday, I believe in god. I look at it as a Candy Holiday lol

Okay this year I want the kids in my neighborhood to earn their candy from my house. So what do think would be the scariest costume for me to where. Think back to when you were a kid what would have scareiest thing to see when you were trick or treating.
I should probably mention the kids in my neighborhood are used to the whole someone being dressed and only looking like a prop and then suddenly jumping towards them. Too many people in the neighborhood have done it. That’s why I’m going to hide this time.

..or scary stuff, Like princesses, cowboys, fairies, soldiers, superman? It takes the fun & tradition out of halloween!! I hate this. On Christmas we don’t decorate our tree with plastic bats & candy just to be "different."

This year i wanted to make a stand and not give any kids candy who showed up in regular clothes and a sack for candy.
I wanted to say "sorry kid, no costume, no candy" or put out a sign or something, but when they showed up, i still gave candy.
I know some people will claim that costumes are expensive, but No,
I do not feel sorry for them, ever heard of a sheet for a ghost?
I saw a kid covered in card board and duct tape once and was an
awesome robo-cop
So what does everyone else think? Sadly i saw a few kids with their parents, they were all dressed decently, so they do have some money, but costumes weren”t an option for them. These parents were just lazy.
Wierd.
Thoughts? Opinions? Defense?
like i stated earlier, even poor people…with some effort can make a costume.
Card board is free if you ask a store clerk, you can ask a neighbor , family member, friend, for a sheet for a ghost,
you can aska local grocer for a few paper bags and make a cool costume.
Furthermore, like i said, lots of the kids who showed up at my door without a costume showed up in pretty nice clothes.

I’m probably going to be responsible for passing out candy this year, and I was thinking of wearing a costume that the kids would be able to guess.

I’d like to be something/someone from pop culture, not something generic like a witch or a clown.

Any suggestions of pop culture icons that are easily recognizable to kids (ages 4 to 12) that I could be for Halloween?

Do you think it would be too soon to dress as a zombie Michael Jackson? I want to pay my respects and I think that being a zombie Michael Jackson would be the best tribute, plus I think I’d get extra candy! What do you think? Too soon, or enough time to show respect?

Is it Halloween yet? Man, it is taking forever to get here! I just can’t wait to scare some tiny trick-or-treaters. That is always my favorite part. I can whip out my handy vampire makeup, glue in my fake fangs and pull on my dark cloak.

You should just see how well I actually resemble Dracula. Okay, minus the whole bug eating thing. Anyway, that night full of spooks, strange sounds, and howling monsters sure can be a blast if you do it right. Last year I was able to scare at least a dozen little witches, goblins and ghouls out of their wits. Of course then I gave them a hefty portion of candy to smooth things over. This way they get the full effect of that eerie autumn night that only comes around once each year. They get the trick and the treat. Anyone else up for a little Halloween fun and excitement? That spooky evening is drawing near.

What are you going to be for Halloween this year? Have you tried the new Freddy costumes yet? Or maybe you’re more of a Jason fan. There is certainly something to be said about all that 80s slasher flick propaganda. It seems like we horror movie nuts can’t get enough of it. Why else would we spend our Halloweens prancing around like a cinema serial killer? Personally I tend to go with the same costume every year.

I know what you’re thinking; how boring. Well, when it comes to vampire makeup and a good set of fangs, I just have trouble saying no. Surely there is a costume or character that has this same effect on you. Is it a witch, warlock or werewolf? Or do you like to invent your own monster get-up? Regardless of what you like to be, the best place to shop for supplies is the World-Wide-Web. Where did you think I got my fangs and vampire makeup? The reason I prefer cyberspace is because of the selection.

Compared to Halloween shops and other stores, there is simply no question. I don’t care if you’re searching for mere vampire makeup or an entire King Kong costume, the Internet is the place to look. Not to mention you can do it easily from the privacy of your own home. You can hardly beat that. So if you’re ready to go costume hunting or just need to pick up some fake blood and vampire makeup, hop online and check out the selection. They literally have prices that compete with anyone.

what is so exciting about this night for satanists?
No surprise as no answers to why satanists like it.

Setting the right atmosphere is important for any holiday, but it is especially important for Halloween. Halloween decorations, costumes, and of course candy are what make a good Halloween party. Nonetheless, one of the most often neglected elements of the Halloween decorating is also one of the most important ones. Put on a tape of free Halloween sound effects and you’re guaranteed to get people into the spirit of the holiday. Without it, Halloween just won’t quite feel right.

There are plenty of different kinds of Halloween sound effects. If you are having trick-or-treaters come to your house, you should get the creaky door haunted house kind of sound effects tapes that are so popular with kids. No matter how many years go by, kids always love these. As little kids, they find the spooky noises to be genuinely terrifying. As teenagers, they think they are amusing but cool nonetheless. Even adults like them.

Then again, Halloween music can make a great alternative to Halloween sound effects. There are plenty of different kinds of Halloween music out there. One of the most popular kinds, of course, is the science fiction theremin dominated electronic Halloween sound effects music. Get a CD of music by the band Goblins, for example, or anything else that features prominently in the Italian horror films. Then again, classical or especially baroque music can often be quite appropriate on Halloween. Night on Bald Mountain is just one example of a composition that people associate with the holiday. I personally prefer the organ music of Bach. Passacaglia is especially creepy, although the Tocatta in Fugue has a certain timelessness when it comes to Halloween.

Sometimes, I like to mix up the different Halloween sound effects. I will start with a sound effects Halloween cd early on in the evening, Move on to some Italian horror music, and ends everything on a nice classical note with some organ concertos. You can also put things on randomizers, so that you never know what weird Halloween track is about to come on. Some people even like to use modern electronic music designed for Halloween. I have heard some pretty spooky rave music in my time which incorporates interviews with serial killers, old news reels, and sounds from horror movies. This can be a little bit scary for kids, so you should watch who you expose to it. There is always cute ghost music for younger listeners.

Well, I’m getting the decorations up; how about you? There’s not much time left now. Yes indeed, that frightening day where anything can occur is upon us. You’d might as well stock up on the candy and prepare for hundreds of tiny monsters, goblins, ghouls, witches, werewolves, and vampires. We all know what happens if you don’t offer them something. They could inflict a terrible wrath of destruction on you and your family. Or they could simply whimper and go tell their parents. I’m talking about trick-or-treators here; not real demons. Although I did read that the treats were originally given out as some sort of offering in the hopes of being spared any harm. Hmm, that’s interesting indeed. Anyway, have you tried on your new costume yet? Maybe it’s an outstanding captain america costume this year.

I actually spotted a captain america costume a few years back when I was squeezing through the Halloween crowd on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. To my surprise it was on a sorority girl, not a guy. It was probably the greatest captain america costume I had ever seen. She wore it well my friends. And so can you if you find the right place to shop for your truly unique captain america costume. I on the other hand must go out into the dark and scary night as something much more menacing. Or at least menacing looking. I always like to offer the trick-or-treators a spooky experience when they come a knocking on my door. That’s the way it should be done on Halloween. This night of October 31st should be utterly filled with terrifying costumes and massive loads of candy.

Aside from a snazzy captain america costume, what else do you suppose is imperative in your Halloween experience? I think a dazzling array of props, lights and decorations are in order. Make those little tikes want to come to your door. Don’t you recall how fun and exhilarating this was as a child? I deck my home out more on Halloween than any other holiday. It’s a blast stringing spider webs and hanging bats. The motion detectors are essential now days. This way when someone approaches your door, they’re startled by a frightening voice and some eerie sounds. Get on the web and search for that captain america costume and all sorts of other Halloween goodies to make this October 31st outstanding.

I have always wanted to live where I could decorate my yard (a little) and dress up to sit on the porch and hand out candy. Well a couple months ago my fiance’ & I moved into a neighborhood that would allow me to do this with lots of young kids that live there also. My question is what are some inexpensive ways to decorate that would be kind of spooky? Also my fiance’ is going to dress up along with me…we would like to be kind of scary, any suggestions on something we could do inexpensive..we have some $ to spend but we should have started saving sooner but we didn’t about it. Thanks for your help

Only about a week or so left until the day when all bets are off. Who’s ready for the ghosts, goblins and spooks to emerge from the darkness? I know I am. This is the best day of the year if you ask me. Frolicking through the neighborhood in search of treats! What in the world is better than that?

Okay, so I don’t exactly carry around a sack, but I take my daughter to dozens of doorsteps. Believe it or not, it’s actually more fun than when I trick-or-treated as a child. You want to know what else? One of the greatest aspects of this holiday is the attire. Just take a moment this Halloween to check out all the wonderful costumes. I’ll bet you see everything from a werewolf, to Leatherface, to a dog, to a dragon, to a Beauty and the Beast costume. The variety is priceless. Sort of like with the candy.

About two years back, I was shopping in the local mall with my daughter. We were in dire search of a great costume for Halloween. As we entered the Disney Store, she spotted a Beauty and the Beast costume. This was it. I’m talking golden moment here. She loved the character of Belle. I can’t remember how many times she had viewed this film, but it was probably a few more than I can count. In short, she wanted that Beauty and the Beast costume so she too could be Belle for a night. I was all over the idea.

What father doesn’t want to see their daughter become a princess? Once we arrived home with the sparkly attire, my little girl couldn’t wait to put it on. Little did I know, this Beauty and the Beast costume would be worn and tested many times before Halloween ever even arrived. For all you new parents out there, this basically goes with the territory. Kids love their costumes and they wear them as often as possible, before and even after Halloween night has past.

Any costume that you may be in the market for can be accessed from your PC. Take a trip through net-land and see what get-ups would best suit you or your little one. As always, you should try to pinpoint your costume a while before Halloween is actually here. This increases the chances of finding your size by a great deal. You can even pick up a Beauty and the Beast costume on the World-Wide-Web.
