Fun Food For Hallowen

By Arthur Orchid

Which meals do you usually eat and prepare for Halloween? Let's see a few suggestions to bring some fun food at your Halloween party.

When you host a Halloween party for children or adults, one of the most important things you can have is food that reflects the holiday. You may have already been to a party that had exceptionally creepy food items, and you may even have been afraid to eat them. With children, this is usually not an issue. The strangest foods are the ones that they're going to go for - though that's a direct contradiction to what you would experience each evening at the dinner table. No matter what age you're serving, having the right Halloween food items is essential to a successful party. I'm sure you don't want to ruin that Halloween party you worked so hard for...

For children, the Halloween food that you come up with should be in line with their age group. This isn't a huge concern though, as many like to see icky foods. You can take a package of grapes and peel off the skin. This makes an excellent bowl of eyeballs that children are going to love. Don't forget to crunch up some brown foods and add some worms. This type of Halloween food dessert is actually pretty common today, but most will still get a kick out of it anyway. There are also tons of candies representing bodies part. Put them in the right order like after an autopsy this should be really impressive.

You can also go with things that are a bit more grotesque that will please adults and children as well. You can find some interesting ideas online, but one of the best ones that I've seen so far is the litter box Halloween food idea. This is a very close replica to what a real cat box would look like, including the litter and the, well, you know. You'd go out and buy a brand new little box (no used ones please!) and then fill it with the recommended items. This Halloween food is gross, yummy, and immensely pleasing - just keep your cats away from it. You can even add a toy representing a cat to add more credibility if you wish!

You can also make a brain out of a Jell-O mold, and perhaps you can find a way to cook something that looks like any other type of body part. You don't need to go with gory Halloween food ideas though, as you can use items from the season to come up with something fun. Think about putting foods in pumpkins, or perhaps you can find some interesting ways to search normal foods with Halloween themes. You can find all types of great ways to serve Halloween food if you look around for inspiration, or just go with your own imagination. Also think about finding additional ideas online to serve fun halloween food.

Online Halloween Costume Shopping

By Arthur Orchid

It's a good idea to anticipate the sale of your Halloween costume. It allows you to chose what you really wish - as soon as you know what you wish - and avoid being disappointed because the shop just sold the last costume you had in mind. Let's see how Online Halloween costume shopping may be a solution in your case.

Everyone gets stoked when October 31st rolls around. After all, this means goblins, ghouls, monsters and mayhem right? All right, well maybe it means a lot of fun costumes and truck loads of treats. Whatever gets you excited about Halloween, one thing is certain: You need a great costume. So why not shop for an online Halloween costume at your convenience? After all we spend more and more time online that it makes sense, isn't it? The Internet is clearly in full swing at this point and shopping on the web has become all the rage. It's not simply about convenience indeed. Finding your online Halloween costume is all about the best choices at your fingertips and the lowest prices you're going to find. This leaves you more cash for candy and decorations.

Back in the day, so many people hit up all the local drug stores and department stores for Halloween costumes. Sure, this worked, but it certainly wasn't all that. One can't even compare that old-school selection to today's online Halloween costume variety. You see, we all used to be limited to our surroundings. It's doubtful that you're going to drive across the country for a killer Halloween get-up. Nowadays you don't have to. You can have your Halloween candy and eat it too. All you need is a computer and Internet access to discover the massive choice of Halloween costumes found online. Suddenly you have access to every costume mega-store in the world. This means that your chances of finding that zombie, werewolf, dracula, frankenstein, witch, superhero or creature costume you had in mind greatly increases.

My favourite online shop to purchase any item is Amazon. Did you know they also sell Halloween costumes? If you order today you'll get your costume in time. They're really serious in time deliveries. If you'd like more choice, websites like Halloween-online.com, Halloweencostumesonline.com and starcostumes.com can greatly assist you with finding countless awesome online Halloween costumes. But the benefits don't stop at finding the costume you wanted. In addition, you're likely to get it at a cheaper price than folks who turn to local "Halloween super stores." It's a cinch online to do price comparisons and find the lowest bidder. One thing to keep in mind when looking for an Halloween costume online is the time you search for it. It's often reduced to a few minutes if you know what you're seeking out.

Do you know Halloween Historical Origins?
How did Halloween start? The history behind Halloween spans almost 3,000 years!

Here are some tidbits and lore on the interesting origins of Halloween which aren't widely known. This can help you start a conversation with a Halloween party guest you've been dying to meet. Otherwise this will only be for your own culture. If you're hosting a party, you can make a booklet on your PC to hand out as party favors. Illustrated with Halloween icons, Gothic fonts or scary photos adds to its value as an unusual memento and trivia collectible.

Halloween historical origins

The history behind Halloween is long and there are some remarkable associations which, over millenniums of practice, survive in some form today.

The Celts were the first Halloween celebrants, around 2900 B.C., although the name of the original celebration was Samhain. The occasion of Samhain was to mark the end of their year, October 31, probably relating to the end of harvest. However, the Celts also believed that the dead had their day each year on Samhain, allowed to roam the earth, sometimes disguised as animals. This put a little spookiness into the harvest season. The Celts were pagans at this time.

One of the customs on Samhain was to collect and exchange food to appease the gods and keep evil spirits at bay. To this end, they dressed in costumes, wearing and brandishing scary masks, designed to frighten off these evil spirits, in much the same way gargoyles were later used on churches. Bonfires were also customary, as an added measure to ensure the evil spirits did not gain a foothold in their community. So costumes, masks, pumpkins and treats were an integral part of the history behind Halloween from the beginning.

Christians converted the pagan Samhain celebration into a Christian celebration of Halloween, followed on November 1 by All Saint's Day. This cleverly served to divert the offerings to pagan gods and point celebrants in a Christian direction. This strategy did, eventually succeed.

Over a period of hundreds of years, Halloween gradually picked up superstitious myths and stories, still hanging on to some of the pagan rituals and ideas. Thus, today's ghost stories around the campfire became part of the history behind Halloween traditions.

While Halloween began as a celebration and ritual holiday for adults, in the early part of the 20th century, the adults started behaving badly, with malicious acts overshadowing the treat aspect. The malicious tricks became so severe, the history behind Halloween might have ended there. People banded together to preserve this fun holiday tradition for kids only. For about 50 years thereafter, adults didn't go trick or treating.

Around the 1980s, adults celebrating Halloween came back in vogue. Although most adults still don't go trick or treating, due to the typically chilly reception they receive, they do attend adult Halloween parties where the host provides the treats and everyone gets into costumes, just as the ancient Celts did. Say, how about a Celtic Halloween party? That party would turn up some interesting costumes! Now you can tell all your friends Halloween historical origins.

Transform Your Home into an Halloween Haunted House

Halloween is not only for kids' entertainment... You also can have great fun if you do the Halloween celebration like a game or a challenge between friends, neighbors or relatives.
Challenge those trick or treaters by transforming your home into a Halloween haunted house!

Almost everyone enjoys some aspect of Halloween. Some adults don't get into costume parties and the general revelry. However, such individuals may still be kids at heart and prefer providing a truly scary environment for trick or treaters. Almost every neighborhood has someone whose Halloween pleasure comes in the form of creating a Halloween haunted house that scares the wits out of the successful trick or treater.

When my daughter was little, one neighborhood couple went all out every year to do just that. Their house even creeped me out. My brave little girl made it as far as the door. When the door opened, there was a Frankenstein like old man, very tall, dressed in tatters, covered in spiderwebs and holding a big basket of treats. He slowly and stiffly made his way towards her, proffering his basket. That was it for her. The candy wasn't worth it, but she did get her entertainment's worth! This was a genuine Halloween haunted house. I always wondered if his basket was still full at the end of the evening.

If this Halloween tradition appeals to you, here are a few tips on transforming your home into a Halloween haunted house. Spiderwebs are essential and can be purchased in bulk amounts at party stores and craft shops. There's something creepy about spiderwebs, especially when they're placed on shrubs or posts in a narrow walkway leading to the front door. This way, children may end up with spiderwebs clutching at your clothing as the hapless kids pass by.

Several Jack O'Lanterns provide just enough light for kids to safely navigate the path and help to set the mood. Strings of red or blue Christmas lights provide more dim, creepy lighting. You can set the lights to alternate on and off, with longer periods of off than on. The best Halloween haunted houses feature plenty of Jack O'Lanterns, carved in a variety of scary faces. You can line them up on the porch, just for fright's sake. It's also a good idea to turn all of the house lights off and place a pumpkin in the windows facing the street. Is anyone home? Of course, you tempt the trick or treaters with a couple of blue floodlights over the front door.

Spiderwebs should be plastered all over the entry way. Some are sure to find their way onto the kids, producing shrieks from the bravest. A scary sound tape is another must, filled with ghost-like sounds, the hoot of an owl and gusts of wind coming out of nowhere. Sound and movement activated props will give all the kids the creeps. What do you think the kids will do, when they're whispering and giggling and the empty rocking chair starts rocking? How about a cardboard skeleton dropping down as they step on the porch?

At this point, you open the door and sweetly offer your goodies. These kids have earned them!
This now your turn to have fun and demonstrate your unlimited imagination.

Ideas for Outdoor Halloween Yard Decorations

Make your street the most frightening place in the city for Halloween displaying

Outdoor Halloween yard decorations

all around! There're some neighborhoods that come alive for the Halloween season, and some that remain relatively dark. If you're on one of the streets that seems to become an entirely different place each year, you may want to get in on the action. The challenge is to make it a little better than next year... One of the best ways to get in on the fun is to have some interesting Halloween yard decorations that you can use from year to year. Some many only last one season, but others can be put away to be used time and time again. No matter what your personality, there's something fun out there just for you.

When you want to have a cemetery for your outdoor Halloween yard decorations, you are in luck. There are tons of way to do this, and they no longer have to look so cheesy - though there's nothing wrong with that look if that's what you want to go with for your lawn. Many of the new styles of these popular Halloween yard decorations look so real that you may not be able to tell the difference until you get right up to them for a close inspection. It must seem true to make the best possible effects and reactions! They come with some very funny sayings at times, so you can go spooky and funny at the same time.

If you want to go with something lighter for your outdoor Halloween yard decorations, as in things your children will love at a younger age, you can find a variety of blow up decorations like witches, pumpkins, and some other interesting items. Some of these are lit up from the inside, and some come with a wind machine that allows them to blow in the breeze for a very cool effect. These Halloween yard decorations are much like the ones you see at Christmas that feature various Christmas characters and themes.

You can also come up with some great designs on your own by buying odd Halloween yard decorations and coming up with your own layout. You can find spooky trees that you can light up, funky fences to have around your cemetery, and perhaps some skulls, webs, and pumpkins to go with them. You can use fog machines to add a very eerie feeling to the entire set up, and don’t forget the sound effects.

Halloween Decorations is not only for Haunted Houses

Your house or apartment deserve an Halloween decoration even if there's no ghost living in there... at the moment.
There's always that one house on the block that has gone all out with the

Halloween decorations

and you can not get enough of it. They've done things to their home that you'd not dream of, or perhaps did not have the inspiration to do on your own. You can change that if you get some good ideas, and if you know where to shop. What you've to keep in mind is that you're only going to have your decorations up for a short time. You can get them up early though, so that everyone can enjoy them. Just don’t leave them up too far into November. 1 month later you'll get the opportunity to show your Christmas Decorations.

For a very elegant but eerie look, you can go out and get some delicate lace, tons of fake spider web, and some white, twinkling lights for your Halloween decorations. You can place the lights where you'd like to decorate, and then cover them with the lace and the spider webs. You do want to be careful, as both the web and the lace can be flammable. Keep them a safe distance from the light. Don’t worry, these Halloween decorations are going to look very cool, even when you have been safe about placement. Keep an eye on them, and don’t have the lights on when you are not at home.

When thinking of

Halloween decorations

for the outdoors, you've got much more choice. There're some great lawn items that you can get, and then put away to use the next year and the year after that if you want. You can light up your walkway with some spooky lights, and have some interesting things hiding in the shadows. You can also use a fog machine to have the perfect effect for your Halloween decorations when you're expecting children to come by on Halloween night. Use lighting sparsely for the spooky look you hope to achieve.

There're, of course, the more expensive Halloween decorations. These are usually reserved for those that look forward to Halloween each year - mostly because they can be quite costly considering you only use them for a few days out of the year. These are often mechanical things that you may see in a haunted house at your favorite amusement part. There're coffins that pop open to surprise someone, along with all types of creepy, moving creatures. These

Halloween decorations

can be the most fun, so indulge a little when you find that you're really into the holiday spirit.

Halloween is for sure with Christmas the favourite celebration date for kids and adults. Halloween is a little different for children than it's for adults. Children delight in dressing up, and often want to emulate superheroes or their favorite television characters. They love to go trick or treating, and they often have parties with friends or at school. Adults like to dress up too, but their choice of costumes tends to be extremely different. For adults, however, Halloween can be, and usually is, a little different. Some like to go all out, while others like to add just a few special touches to their everyday wear to come up with something just a little bit Halloween. One great but subtle option for this is

Halloween contact lenses

When you think of Halloween contact lenses, don’t think about the type that just change your eye color from brown to blue or green. These contacts are specially made to give you a look not normally seen every day. There're so many different types of Halloween contact lenses to choose from, but you should be careful about where you buy them. All contacts are specially made, so it may be that not every set of Halloween contact lenses will be safe for you to wear.

Safety is a huge concern when buying Halloween contact lenses. If you've never worn contacts before, you need to know about eye health and safety. You can’t just slap them in and go about your business. You need to know how to insert them and take them out properly, as well as how to store them. Even if they're not for vision correction, they're still sitting on your eyeball, and need to be handled with care. For the most part, you can use Halloween contact lenses for one holiday and then you must throw them out. They should not be saved for the next year. I recommend you to start testing lenses one month before Halloween to see if it suits you.

You can buy all types of Halloween contact lenses, and if you look around, you will find something that fits your style. There're Halloween contact lenses that will make your entire eye appear white, or you can get some to make it look like you have cat eyes. Just remember to buy them from a reputable place. Most people that sell corrective lenses will also have Halloween contact lenses as well. Not only will these be better for your eyes, they will tell you how to properly take care of your eyes, and tell you everything you need to know to wear them safely.

Buy Your Adult Halloween Costumes

Screaming in a dark night is the kind of emotion Halloween permits... Once upon a time, on a dark and stormy night, there was a little boy strolling down a long creepy street. His hands jittered as he glanced randomly in all directions. He could hardly stop his teeth from chattering as his wide eyes peered up at the decrepit old house that loomed before him. Oh this young man was in for a fright and no one on this earth could save him now. So he edged his way up to the front stoop of the eerie home. Suddenly the door swung open with a loud squeal. The boy screamed; TRICK OR TREAT! A benign face poked out from the doorway and tossed a handful of candy into the boy's bucket. Ah ha, and you thought it was going to be Freddy or Michael Myers. No, not by a long shot. Heck, I was just setting the scene. Halloween night is drawing close and we all have to get into the spooky mood. That goes for all you adults out there as well. This means
