Evil Jester Costume Adult

Includes a double knit polyester shirt and matching pants, waist sash, headpiece and mask. Available in adult sizes Medium and Large.
Customer Review: Not quite like the photo in advertisement (as usual)
My main reason for returning this costume was the mask & headpiece. The mask is NOT white as shown, but is a "dingy yellowish" white that looks awful with the red/black costume. A white mask like the one pictured would have looked excellent in contrast to the red/black. The headpiece doesn't stay in place, especially the "points" on top - they flip flop all over the place due to the design and being VERY sparingly stuffed with polyfill. The little plastic skulls on the ends of them are too heavy and weigh them down (design flaw). Also, be aware that the black gloves are not included. I already knew this prior to purchasing, but just wanted to make a note of it for those who weren't aware of it.
Customer Review: Cheap
Very cheap. The head part kept falling over. Don't buy unless you want to be annoyed. Vendor was great! Arrive quickly.


When you're setting the table for Halloween, you have to remember every step of the way that it's about fun, tricks and treats. Don't be afraid to go out on a limb and you'll have a success every Halloween.

If you're having a Halloween party or you just plain want to get into the spirit of the holiday, there are plenty of ways that you can get around to setting the table for Halloween without getting caught in the undertow.

Undertow? What does that mean? Basically, getting caught in the undertow means doing too much without causing enough of a bang. Halloween is a time for celebration, fun, tricks and treats and most especially pranks.

When you're getting ready for the scariest holiday of them all and possible the scariest day of them all, you need to find a way to hide yourself and your regular table setting.

Setting the table for Halloween is not actually as scary as the holiday itself. In fact, now that nearly every grocery store, department store and discount store around recognizes the holiday and supports your right to be scary and play tricks on people, you can find everything you need to create a scary, totally fun look as you're setting the table for Halloween.

Halloween Table Ideas

Some ideas for setting the table for Halloween include a block of dry ice with water in a cauldron in the middle of the table, surrounded by your goodies. This trick, as everyone well knows, will make it look like your cauldron is smoking. And, if you want to take it a step further, you can turn your decoration into the punch bowl at your party. You can still place the dry ice inside-don't worry, it's safe as long as no one tries to eat it straight up-and it will make your punch look like it's smoking which is especially interesting if it's green or even red.

Other excellent ideas for setting the table for Halloween include placing motion activated spiders, bugs, worms and even bloody hands around the table and especially goodies if you're having a party-this not only looks creepy but will also frighten your guests every time they reach for some chips and dip.

And when you're setting the table for Halloween, don't forget to include the spider webs. Spider webs are a staple of creating a creepy and scary feeling for the Halloween holiday and creating a space for them is one of the most important things you can do to give your table the big bang of table settings for this particular holiday.

Halloween, most importantly, is supposed to be a holiday built around fun, tricks and treats, so you can't and shouldn't pass up the opportunity to give your table a little of all three. Have fun when you're setting the table for Halloween and don't be shy. Going out on a limb and going a little overboard for holidays is okay.

Remember, no matter what you do when you're setting the table for Halloween, it's only for a little while, so if you're not 100% comfortable with the designs, the table settings and the tricks, it will all be coming down after just a few short days.

Jo Thompson just loves to throw a great party. And to have a great party as opposed to just a good one you have to decorate. Find all her table setting ideas with pictures here at http://www.table-settings-with-pictures.com along with some Halloween table setting ideas.

Use Halloween flags and banners in front of the party hall.

Decorate your car with Halloween stickers, posters, and symbols. Display all spooky Halloween toys in a table.

Sexy 3Pc School Spirit Cheerleader Halloween Costume




Halloween treats are the most yummiest part of the holiday season. You, your children, friends and family can have an enjoyable Halloween activity while preparing your treats ahead of time, so you can later enjoy the festivities of trick or treating, bonfires and various masquerade or costume parties during this pleasurably mysterious autumn event. With your imagination and some helpful hints, you can create the ultimate Halloween treats.

Bobbing for apples is one of the simplest treats, while also creating and interestingly entertaining game for all ages. Simply get a large container to hold the water and washed apples. Outside is always the best place for this activity, however while inside you might cover the floor with plastic, such as a large garbage bag and you will need some plastic to drape over the individuals who are bobbing for apples and a couple of clothes pins to secure the drape. If you let the children play this early in the schedule, they will eat the apples, leaving little less room for the sugar sweets. Also, keep an adult close by for water safety reasons.

With clear glass containers or punch bowls, place a couple of small activated glow sticks into them and then add a clear soda of your choice and orange juice and maybe even some vanilla ice cream or orange sherbet, or even green or blue Kool-Aid, if you wish. When making a punch without ice cream or sherbet, you might like the ghostly wisp of visual effect of using dry ice. However, when using dry ice, remind your guests that dry ice cannot be ingested, as it will burn. Be careful in considering whether to serve dry ice to children. You can always place dry ice in a separate container of water in a plastic cauldron when entertaining children. Making creepy ice for the punch is easy when you use latex gloves or masks.

Creative Halloween cakes and cupcakes are always a hit. You can find special recipes to follow online, you will find there are many from which to choose. For instance, cakes can be decorated as ghosts, spiders and webs as well as any creepy character you can imagine for Halloween. When making cupcakes, include the children when it is time for decorating them and everyone will have a wonderful time preparing your Halloween treats.

When making cookies thick gelatins or finger sandwiches, use Halloween cookie cutters and molds and various colors for decorating. Use last years, plastic jack-o-lantern, trick or treat containers to hold any candy treats and place them in various locations. The old stand bys of mints, nuts, pretzels, chips and dips are ever faithful as party treats. Add a few drops of green or orange food coloring to the dip, if you like.

Perhaps you might get grossly creative and make some boogers on a stick by mixing green food coloring with cheese dip and then dipping one end of a pretzel stick for a creepy treat. Make chocolate spider treats by melting some chocolate chips or flavored almond bark and pouring it over some chow mien noodles. You might also enjoy making your own candy apples and caramel or cheese flavored popcorn for a pleasant Halloween treat. Homemade apple cider is good for washing all these treats down and remember that you can use left over pumpkin meat for making pumpkin bread, pies, muffins and even pumpkin soup. Very soon you'll be having the ultimate Halloween.

Newborn Baby Pea in The Pod Halloween Costume, 0-6 Months

Customer Review: Cheap
This costume was awful. Thank God we had a backup costume. The peas tear off easy and the fabric was very itchy. I hightly don't recomend this for any baby.
Customer Review: Pea Pod
I bought this for my 2 month old and he looked really cute in it. It is made as well as I would think a costume is. I would recommend this for very little ones(under 6 months) I don't think a baby over that could stand to be in it. When I got this it was size 0-9 months in size...


You bet! They were most definitely in the minority but they were never the less there and very able. So don't worry about sacrificing your well established credibility among your fellow renaissance faire friends when you buy a really cool and very authentic pirate costume...one you wanted bad, you wanted real bad! Rest assured you are in the right when you carry your own cutlass!

More later about who you can base you character on but first let's get to that killer outfit designed with the essentials. Did I mention that this is also a costume that is not only renaissance faire appropriate but will wear well at that Halloween party where we adults get to dress up or down, your call.

Chemise

The chemise, the foundation for ALL renaissance era clothing or costumes is important. The fortunate thing about a pirates costume is that if they were a pirate and were caught they typically were executed. So flaunting the statuary laws by dressing above their station and risking a fine was not a major concern, know what I mean? All chemise styles, fabrics and colors, except purple of course are appropriate for your new festival garb. Stick to the full length version even though you are running with the guys.

Over dress

If you are going to base your costume on the pirate why not be the captain? Do you want to be climbing the rigging or swabbing the decks? Didn't think so! You will however need to be armed. A loose fitting chemise and equally loose over dress can hide many weapons.

Boots

Thigh high boots, maybe for that Halloween party but not at the local renaissance faire. It would not be quite authentic and would most definitely be uncomfortable walking around in them at the fair all day. You will want them to be black leather and calf high. They will not be as fitted as most women wear today but loose and roll down a little at the top.

Lady Mary Killigrew

She was a daughter of a pirate and married to a pirate from Suffolk England. Her husband was appointed by Queen Elizabeth I to the rank of Vice-Admiral and was charged with suppressing piracy. When the good captain Sir Killigrew went to sea the Lady Mary "commandeered" her castle staff and went to sea herself. Her luck finally ran out in 1570 when she captured a German merchant carrying freight and sailed it to Ireland to see what she could get for her pirates work.

One problem the owner of the vessel she pirated was a friend of Queen Elizabeth, this is not a good thing. There are multiple versions of what took place next but the outcome was that she quit the pirating business...and took up fencing stolen goods! What a gal!

Want to learn more about the Renaissance Faire and the appropriate costumes to wear? Stop by my Renaissance Faire Costumes blog and learn more about the clothes of the Nobles, Peasants and Court of Renaissance Europe. Lady Mary was a pirate but lets not forget she was also a Noble Lady so she may have also worn a beautiful Avon Jupon gown of velvet with a satin chemise. One costume is never enough!

How would you like to hand out candy this Halloween that you yourself had as a child?
We have the resources on how to get candy for cheap that you ate as a child yourself.
Share the same experience this Halloween that you had as a child.

History on Candy
The Arabs' word for it was qandi, from qand, a lump of cane sugar. It came down to us, virtually intact, through successive European languages: Old Italian (zucchero candi), Old French (sucre candi), Middle English (sugre candi). In the 1800s, Americans called it "sugar candy." Now, it's just candy.

The word "candy" doesn't cover only pure-sugar concoctions, but also includes an array of tasty confections combining sugar or similar substances with other compatible ingredients such as fruits, nuts or chocolate. And the most popular of these, as most Americans will confirm, is chocolate. When we think of a "candy bar," what generally comes to mind includes chocolate-usually, milk chocolate-although it often contains nuts, along with a variety of sugars, fats and flavorings.

Candy is in fact considered a food. Its basic elements are included in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's "Food Pyramid" (see illustration)~in that small triangle at the top labeled "Fats, Oils, & Sweets~Use Sparingly." The calorie content is a recognized nutritional value, and in some parts of the world, that may be a significant advantage.

Some candies-those containing milk or nuts, for example- do offer some beneficial food values, in addition to the calories. All foods contain calories, of course. A calorie is neither "good" nor "bad" in itself but simply a heat unit. Calories, of course, are needed by the body as a source of energy. So enjoy!

Greek God of Athens Adult Halloween Costume

Greek God Adult Costumes for a Greek look that will be a huge hit this Halloween!! A Greek Costume is guaranteed to make this Halloween one to remember!!


Do you remember what you wore on last Halloween? How much time did you use to think up the brilliant idea? It must take a very long time and it must be hard. But I can say that is already more interesting than the past. People used to only wear scary Halloween costumes and they hardly came up with creative ideas.

Nowadays you can put on everything you like. You can look traditionally terrible. You can become famous characters such as wearing Queen of Hearts Halloween costumes. You can be anyone you want. I am going to give your more and more ideas.

Before helping you think up an idea, I would like to share one thing with you. Along with the development of technology, you no longer need to enter a store to choose your Halloween costumes. You can now buy it through online costumes stores. Most of them provide lots of choices for you.

For example, if you are searching for Queen of Hearts Halloween costumes, you may have at least 12 kinds of costumes on any online costumes stores. So I strongly suggest you buying online.

As I said before it is not a must for you to dress up like ghosts or vampires anymore (of course you can if you want.). You can be sexy, beautiful or charming. Put on Queen of Hearts Halloween costumes and loudly say off with your head or become Ironman to protect your lovers. It greatly depends on your mind. The more creative you are, the more fun you will have.

It may not be movie or story characters. You can dress up like people in different career. A waiter or a doctor will be good ideas. You may even buy a school uniform and it must help you recall lots of wonderful memories. I personally am going to dress up like a prisoner in this year because I do not think I will become a real prisoner in future.

You may also become celebrities. It is the simplest way because it does not require many accessories. You can just buy a mask or a wig. Can you imagine you become Brad Pitt and everyone ask you for signature? It must be amazing.

Do not worry that you will be foolish. Everyone is going to be foolish on Halloween. They just want to enjoy a wonderful Halloween. That is time for you to make your dream come true. Can you think of any other festivals that you can wear pirate costumes? You probably cannot. So grab this chance. Use you imagination and try to become unique on Halloween. You will have an unforgettable experience.

I do not know which kind of costumes you are going to wear. But if you want to buy Queen of Hearts Halloween costumes, I have an idea for you. You may find lots of choices on Queen of Hearts Halloween Costumes 2008

Wizard of Oz - Scarecrow Adult Halloween Costume (B701)

Wizard of Oz - Scarecrow Costume includes: Headpiece, shirt, pants & belt cord.


Goodie bags, scavenger hunts, charades, cake, balloons -- these are memories that our children will have forever. To get started conceptualizing birthday party ideas, consider place, theme, food, activities and budget. The options are as limitless as the smiles on a successful party day!

Sometimes a fantastic kids birthday party revolves around a certain place. Memorable times will be had by all if you plan your celebration at: a roller rink or ice skating rink, a bowling alley, an indoor waterpark, the local park, a movie theatre, a restaurant (Mcdonalds, Major Magic, Chuckie Cheese), Toys R Us, laser tag, the science museum, a mini-golf / go-cart facility, a paintball place, a rock gym, the zoo, or at a medieval times theatre performance. These are just a few birthday party ideas your kids might love.

Another option is throwing a theme party at your own home. A great starting point for birthday party ideas is Coolest Kid Birthday Parties, where you can find instructions on making unique birthday invitations, find out where to buy partyware, a how-to-make-your-own-decorations guide for each theme, what icebreaker activities and games to plan, where to find costumes, what food to serve and what celebration favors to give out.

It's really a one-stop shop for your celebration planning needs! Planning a kids birthday party doesn't have to be stressful. The only difficult choice is which theme to choose: pirate, superheroes, wild west, knights and princesses, detective, circus, safari, sports, mystery, dinosaurs, Hollywood, army, Hawaiian, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Shrek, American Idol, Transformers, dress up, magic, under the sea, Caribbean, barnyard or medieval?

The general rule of thumb is to pick the theme and then the food. For instance, you might want to make a pineapple cheesecake for a Hawaiian celebration, turkey legs for a pirate celebration, elephant-shaped "peanutbutter and jellyphant" sandwiches for a safari one, or buffalo wings and bronco burgers for a western theme.

If you want to skip the planning and go for cost-efficiency, BBQ hamburgers, subs or sheet pizza is an easy answer. While children generally aren't too picky, remember that for adults, the food makes the celebration.

The hardest part of throwing a kids birthday party is planning activities. Organizing several games to break up the day and keep kids entertained is the key to a successful celebration. You may purchase a slip and slide water game or water balloons for fun summer birthday party ideas.

Bobbing for apples, relay races, pinatas, pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, tag, magnetic fishing games, musical chairs, Twister and Charades are always classic games. If you want to be really creative and wow the celebration, a scavenger hunt can be a memorable experience.

Check Oriental Trading for some neat prizes and goodie bag ideas. You'll want every child to win a prize, so that no one ends up crying or feeling bad. Your best bet are games where everyone participates, the kids remain active and everyone wins in the end.

For large budgets, select from original birthday party ideas such as: surf simulators, sumo suits, petting zoos, hypnotists, magicians, rock climbs or bounce houses.

For smaller budgets, a simple Slip N Slide, a game of Twister, charades or a treasure hunt can work wonders. Large budgets may require catering, while small budgets can make use of The Dollar Store partyware and sheet pizza.

A visit to Party City or The Dollar Store can also be a huge help. Whether your event consists of balloons, mimes and ponies or pirate decorations or just a cake and a treasure hunt, you aren't alone in your search for birthday party ideas.

The internet has many sources for all-in-one event planning to make this day truly memorable!
