Batman Dark Knight The Joker Deluxe Adult Costume

Includes: Jacket with attached shirt, tie, vest, pants and mask. Gloves and shoes not included. This is an officially licensed Batman costume.
Customer Review: Decent costume, but mask sucks
The clothes are decent, although they form to your body like pajamas rather than a suit. The mask is pathetic. Completely pathetic. This might be a good thing, as it forces you to go with face paint instead of a mask.
Customer Review: The Nightmare Before Halloween
This costume is CHEAP in quality. You're better off shopping at the thrift store. I was very disappointed. I thought "Deluxe" costumes were supposed to be of better quality. And this is the one right under the $300 grand heritage/officially licenced one!!! I expected more. I also got an Elvira costume (fron her website) that was deluxe and it was FAR better!!!

For a novice event planner, nothing is more daunting than the question, "Mom, can I have a Halloween party?" There are Halloween decorations, costumes, recipes and activities to plan, which can be a big task. To throw the best party, try to keep the group small (10 is ideal) and organize Halloween fun games. Whether you're planning for a teenager, a pre-teen or a young child, there are a number of fun and affordable games to keep the entertainment rolling!

Halloween party games for younger kids can range from silly Halloween fun and getting-to-know-you games, to spooky ghost story telling and puzzle solving. An easy first game is "The Name Game," where index cards with monster or Halloween character names written on them are affixed to the back of each guest.

Then the person asks another guest "yes or no" questions until the right answer is guessed. Some kids love "pumpkin golf," which is a homemade golf game made out of a cardboard ramp, a carved pumpkin with an extremely large smile and a mini-golf set. "Ghost hunter" scavenger hunts always go over well for grade school children.

First wrap lollipops up like ghosts using white tissue paper and a black magic marker. Then hide them around the house and write clues about where they could be. To make it more competitive, create teams, such as "the witches," "the goblins" or "the werewolves," and have each team race back to place their lollipops into a bin as they find them, awarding a special prize to the winning team.

Or you may want to put a letter on each ghost that will form ten different Halloween words and award prizes as the kids guess them. You can also turn on "The Monster Mash" and have kids dance like monsters, freezing when the music is stopped. This will definitely have them cackling at the Halloween fun! Check out "Party Game Central" for more do-it-yourself ideas.

If you'd rather buy a few games than make them, then here are some Halloween party suggestions. Little kids will love the "Halloween Role Play Game," which can be purchased for $4.99 at Oriental Trading and plays up to six kids. The game includes a 10" spinner, 6 each of 8 assorted character cards, 6 "surprise" cards and instructions. They'll spin, pick a card and do an action, such as making bump sounds with their feet, talking like Frankenstein, doing the Monster Mash and acting like they've been zapped! Oriental Trading also has "Halloween Bend Game," which is an awesome seasonal version of Twister that kindergartners to teenagers will love! "Color Your Own Halloween Bingo" is another great game you can purchase for almost any age.

"Inflatable Halloween Limbo" or the "Inflatable Spider Ring Toss Game" are sure to add Halloween fun to your child's party. Ouija Boards are always creepy Halloween fun for teens. "Halloween Jenga" may be more your speed, with red and black blocks, custom rules and a special glow-in-the-dark die. If you roll a "pumpkin," then the direction of play is reversed; roll a "haunted house" and remove any piece or roll a "bat" and you can only remove an orange block. The Harry Potter "Scene It" DVD game is another fun one, testing kids of ages 8 and up with trivia from the Harry Potter movies.

One of the best Halloween Party games for adults is the "murder mystery dinner." Each party member will receive an advance invitation with instructions on the role they'll be playing. In your kit, you'll receive instructions on Halloween recipes to cook, what Halloween decorations to set up and even how to dress. Usually, character booklets, scripts and CD or DVDs will guide you through the plot to discover whodunit. A few recommended murder mystery games include: "Lethal Luau Murder Mystery Party Game" with a Hawaiian theme, "A Taste for Wine and Murder" with a Hollywood theme or "A Murder on the Grill" with a summer of 1950s theme. All are from Bepuzzled.

Adult Robot Halloween Costume (Standard Size)

Thanksgiving parades, just like football, turkey and the pumpkin pie, can't be done away with if we are talking Thanksgiving ! Elaborate parades featuring huge floats, musical extravaganza and star-studded entertainment shows on Thanksgiving are regular features of the Thanksgiving holiday and are marked by great pomp and grandeur. It has its origins in the early 20th century and is fashioned to give the festive frenzy a good lift in the hearts of young and old. The Thanksgiving parades are indeed a spectacle for whoever manages to catch sight of one ! Through years now, these street shows and parades of Thanksgiving have become a tradition and are integral to this holiday, held on the fourth Thursday in November.

There's no precise documentation of the origin of the Thanksgiving parades. In all probabilities, Thanksgiving parades had their first observance in the year President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving as an official holiday. In the context of the Union achievements of the 1863 summer, it's no wonder that an officially declared occasion (more importantly declared by the then President) would have befitting celebrations. Hence parades became a part of the day. But while the military band or uniformed men featured in earlier Thanksgiving parades, today's parades of Thanksgiving mainly consist of musical extravaganza and entertainment shows. Another view is that the first parade of Thanksgiving originated in Philadelphia. It's known as Gimbel's Thanksgiving Parade and is considered to be the first parade of Thanksgiving in the nation's history. The famous American store called Gimbel's kicked off the parade under its name to make a mark. Many other brands followed suit and started holding Thanksgiving parades soon after. And these numerous Thanksgiving parades are telecast on television throughout the United States on Thanksgiving.

Wherever the start of Thanksgiving parades, it was just a matter of years that the significance and tradition of holding parades spread from one corner of the nation to another. Parades are integral to the American culture and the nation has spectacular parades for all the major holidays of the year. Mostly Thanksgiving parades have family-oriented themes and project the message of warmth and thankfulness of the holiday. Also kept in mind is the aspect of making the children happy and make all others smile. So colorful cutouts, huge balloons and amusing floats are there in Thanksgiving parades almost always. The sole aim of Thanksgiving parades is to instill the spirit of festivity in the hearts of the spectators. People feel all gingered up to have a wonderfully warm Thanksgiving Day, wishing each other a happy Thanksgiving and cheering for a good harvest. Many families traditionally set aside a time on Thanksgiving to go and watch Thanksgiving parades. All States in the US hold magnificent parades on Thanksgiving and so, there's no dearth of Thanksgiving parades to hit on the fourth Thursday in November, that is, the Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving parades are thus a very significant cultural tradition of America these days and are designed for all races and ethnicities. All the major States and cities of the nation can boast of the best Thanksgiving parades of the entire nation. And if you're in the nation on Thanksgiving, do not pass up the chance to catch the spectacles hitting the streets on this favorite family holiday of the year !

Sexy 3Pc French Maid Outfit Halloween Costume

*3Pc. French Maid Outfit W/ Attatch Sleeves And Feather Dust SMALL BLACK/WHITE

Over the course of our experiences with dollhouse kits, we have noted that a good plan is essential. Not only does it speed up the progress of building the dollhouse, but it prevents mistakes. Our dollhouse construction timeline includes four major aspects: preparation, painting, wall construction, and finally detailed enhancements.

Preparation: Dollhouse Kits

When you start building your first dollhouse, the first thing to do is to carefully read the instructions. Each dollhouse kit comes with detailed instructions and tips in building your own dollhouse. Please make sure that you have all of the necessary materials including all of the dollhouse kit parts, paint, and tools. Clear out a good work area that will not be disturbed during the entire project. By this time you should also have a good plan of the color and design of your dollhouse.

Painting: Dollhouse Kits

Painting your dollhouse will take a good share of the construction time. We recommend that you paint as much as you can before you start the construction process. Just remember that it is far easier to paint each piece separate rather than the completed dollhouse. Multiple brushes at varying sizes will speed up the process especially if more than one person will be working on this project.

Wall Construction: Dollhouse Kits

Next, you will be assembling the dollhouse walls. We recommend that you to ask some one for help in this process as many hands will not only insure a light work, but they will also guarantee a straight and plum wall. The first walls that will be assembled are the exterior walls. It is imperative that these walls are straight and plum, otherwise the dollhouse will be slanted and difficult to continue construction.

Detailed Enhancements: Dollhouse Kits

The last part of constructing the dollhouse is adding all of the intricate enhancements. These include windows, porches, staircases, shutters, and shingles. We recommend that you use an accent color to the overall beauty of the dollhouse look.

Conclusion

In following these steps, we hope that your dollhouse construction will be a smooth process. Remember that preparation, painting, wall construction, and detailed enhancements will help you complete a beautiful dollhouse.

4Pc Sexy Police Officer Woman Cop Halloween Costume by Leg avenue

Times are tough this year. There's no doubt about that. Unless you're a multi-millionaire chances are you're feeling the pinch like the rest of us. With that in mind all of us are definitely looking to conserve our spending even during special times like Halloween. Who wants to spend a fortune on a costume that will more than likely be used just once! To help out in these trying times, I have gathered some great costume ideas that won't break the bank. Now these are not stupid cardboard box ideas or sheets draped over your head or anything like that. These are actually really creative and depending on how much effort you put into it, they can look better than some of those expensive costumes your friends will probably wind up buying.

1. Men in Black - Most of us (men) own a black suit and sunglasses. If you don't have either, try borrowing a black suit and a black pair of sunglasses. Someone you know has got to have these items sitting around somewhere. Don't forget a black pair of socks, black pair of dress shoes, black tie, and a white button up shirt.

2. Guys go as a girl - I'll let you know how I dressed one Halloween without having to put on a tight skirt and high heels fumbling around everywhere. I went as an old Hawaiian woman by borrowing an old Muumuu dress from a friend's mom, and a curly wig with some spectacles and sandals. The good thing about the Muumuu is that it's loose so you don't have to worry about tight fits. As for makeup, you can borrow that from any female.

3. Girls go as Guys - This should be really easy for girls. Guy's clothes are always bigger so there's no issue with fitting into them. Secondly, you just need a baseball cap to hide your long hair. Third, you can just paint on a mustache and beard or buy one since there relatively cheap.

4. Sara Morgan from the Ring - All you need is a long dark dress, some light makeup to emulate a pale complexion and a long dark wig unless you already have long dark hair. If you need to purchase a wig, get the cheap ones as you are trying to achieve a messy look. Finally, you want some dark lipstick or makeup to paint around your eyes and lips.

5. Clown - A scary clown is what I would personally go with. You'll need a white ruffled shirt, overalls, red wig or you can dye your hair red, and white and black makeup. Some of these items such as the shirt and overalls can be found at a thrift store and the makeup at a local store carrying Halloween supplies. This costume may cost you the most out of the ones I listed but still cheaper than purchasing a new costume. As for the makeup, remember the movie, the Crow? Remember how his face was painted? That's the look you're going for. Visualize that with red spiky hair and the outfit. You'll definitely be the "IT" at the party.

Halloween is a fun time but it certainly doesn't have to break the bank. Times are tough and we're all feeling the pinch. Learn some cool free tips at http://www.helpfulhalloweentips.com Have a safe and wonderful Halloween!

You can purchase lots of different brick papers to paper the exterior of your doll house and give it an authentic look. If you are wallpapering, inside or outside your doll house, make sure you use the correct adhesive. You can purchase special wallpaper adhesive from doll house stores but if you can't find this you can use normal household wallpaper paste which is just as effective.

If you decide to paint your doll house you should use a non acrylic based paint. A normal mat emulsion that you can pick up from any DIY store is fine to use. Apply the paint using a small sponge radiator roller to get a smooth finish.

Halloween is a fun time of year for children of all ages-and all species. For those of you who are pet lovers you might already know that you can find creative cat and dog Halloween costumes to make the holiday even more special for you and your furry friend. If this is something that you are interested in there are a few different options that you can look into to learn more about the topic. The first suggestion would be to search online to get an idea of what you would like to dress your pet up as. You can also go to the larger pet stores to see what they might have to offer you for information on the subject.

Once you know what type of creative costume your want for your pet you will need to decide what you will use for accessories. If you are planning on having your cat be a dog for Halloween you might want to have him wear bones made out of paper around his neck. Just something simple and cute like that would work. Why not have your pet's costume match the theme as your children's? Your little girl could be Bo Peep while your black lab could be her lost sheep. Looking for an idea that is a little more complicated? Have your son be Elliot and your rat terrier can be E.T. the alien. The most fun part about Halloween is that you get to let your imagination and creativity run wild.

If you are planning on taking your old pooch "trick-or-treating" with the family you will want to take this into consideration, does the costume work well with a collar and leash? You wouldn't want something tragic to happen to your beloved friend on such a joyous evening. In the even that you might be out past dark you should put reflective tape on the collar and leash of your pets. You could also purchase these accessories that are made for doing such activities in the dark. Also, make sure the costume fits properly. Too small of a costume could be hazardous to your pet because it might not allow your pet to move as easily. If danger where to head your way your pet might not be able to get out of the way in time due to the restrictions. Always be sure to never leave your pet unattended while in a costume. An animal can easily become tangled up while wearing a costume and this could lead to serious injuries or even death.

You can shop for your cat or dog Halloween costume at most pet stores. Online is another option for shopping. Many pet suppliers have catalogues that you can have shipped right to your door to look through. You will be able to mail in an order or even make a purchase online. Making your own costume is another possibility. You can find free patterns or patterns for a relatively low cost online or at fabric stores. Whichever method you decide to use to allow your pet to join in on the fun is up to you. Just be sure to have the perfect fit for the safety of your pet. Don't forget to give your pet a couple treats, too.

Men's Blue Sailor Uniform Halloween Costume

What does Halloween represent? better known as the eve of All Saints' Day. Halloween in Western countries is about ghosts, ghouls, goblins, and the supernatural.

In Britain, Halloween is associated with children playing 'Trick or Treat' a game where children dress up and visit neighbours' houses threatening to play practical jokes on the inhabitants if not rewarded with sweets or money. All harmless fun of course.

In recent years, the number of local events organised to "celebrate" Halloween has shot up. Also, merchandise is readily available and many families decorate their homes as they do at Christmas.

Where did this phenomenon come from anyway, the United States? We spoke to Kit Bennett from American website Amazing Moms who pleads guilty on all counts.

Kit says, "It's huge, I would say it's right up there with Christmas for kids. We as always have gone over the top," she said. However, Kit, herself a Grandmother and teacher said she has noticed a change in the United States and people have become more safety conscious.

"How we deal with it has changed. It's actually getting a little lower key. The kids love to dress up and have the candy but we don't trick or teat so much now. Our children go to shopping plazas now and go store to store to get candy. Many schools are no longer able to celebrate Halloween but they'll call it a Harvest Party."

Kit also told us that some children are banned from attending Halloween events and have accused other children of worshipping evil. Oh dear, this sounds like this yearly activity of fun is all becoming a bit too serious. She also went on to say that the event is becoming a big religious activity in the United States with some people not celebrating it for that reason alone.

However, she did want to point out that she and her family do spend time together on October 31st carving pumpkins and enjoying the whole social occasion.

The most popular Halloween costumes in the United States are a Princess costume for the girls and a Superhero for the boys - again different from the UK where it's a Witch or Dracula.

In the traditional sense Halloween, or Hallowe'en, is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31st. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses", carving Jack-o'-lanterns, reading scary stories and watching horror movies. It's also believed that Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is celebrated in several countries of the Western world, most commonly in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Japan, New Zealand, and occasionally in parts of Australia. Plus, in Sweden the All Saints' official holiday takes place on the first Saturday of November.

The most recognisable symbol is the carved pumpkin, lit by a candle inside, this is one of Halloween's most prominent symbols in America, and is commonly called a jack-o-lantern. Originating in Europe, these lanterns were first carved from a turnip or rutabaga. Believing that the head was the most powerful part of the body containing the spirit and the knowledge, the Celts used the "head" of the vegetable to frighten off any superstitions. The name jack-o'-lantern can be traced back to the Irish legend of Stingy Jack, a greedy, gambling, hard-drinking old farmer. He tricked the devil into climbing a tree and trapped him by carving a cross into the tree trunk. In revenge, the devil placed a curse on Jack, condemning him to forever wander the earth at night with the only light he had: a candle inside of a hollowed turnip.
