Little House of Halloween Horrors

Halloween's nearly here and decorated yards, houses, apartments and even cars are appearing everywhere. People get "into the spirit" in in some cities, with Halloween decorations rivaling the Christmas and holiday extravaganzas that will show up in December.

Halloween 2007's witches and vampires will be scarier than ever. Thanks to technological gadgets and devices, the effects at Halloween parties and displays get spookier and grosser every year.

As you might guess, the web has much to offer.

First, surf over to Buy Costumes.com (http://www.buycostumes.com/). How about an animated candy bowl bound to scare the dickens out of your little trick or treaters? As the little tyke (or the big tyke as the case may be) reaches for a treat, an animated green hand emerges from the bowl and appears to grab for them. With the message "Trick or Treat" written on the outside, the motion-activated bowl assures guests will sample it. Just to be sure, it also speaks aloud the messages, "Trick or Treat", "Happy Halloween" and "Want some Candy?" $19.95 with batteries included.

The same site also offers a Lighting FX Box h with Spooky Sounds CD included. When connected to a lamp or other lighting devise, the lights will flicker and dim to music. The lighting box with its six foot cord plugs into any AC outlet. The accompanying CD includes thirty minutes of spooky sounds, including thunder, lightening, howling wolves, moaning ghosts and eerie organ music. It's on sale at the date of this writing for $19.95.

If you're really planning to go all out, to the tune of $399, you might want the Airblown Archway Tunnel Haunted House with Sound to decorate your lawn. The tunnel can stand alone or serve as the entrance to a haunted house This massive, inflatable haunted house greets visitors with two red-eyed gargoyles at the doorway. Inside, black streamers brush against visitors as they move along the tunnel into the main room. Motion activated strobe lights, sound and flashing light completes the picture.

Other goodies at this site include a bloody butcher heart that beats, thanks to its battery operated mechanism (EEEWWW!), a bloody butcher hand, a cannibal meat brain, a shaking butchered arm and a shaking bag with hand. Prices range from around $10 to $25.

Moving along to the Spirit web site (http://www.spirithalloween.com), we find a wonderful, vibrating hanging head with a rattling chain. According to the web site, the head shudders and struggles against the restraints while glaring at you with glowing red eyes. It's $39.95. Along a similar vein, you might also consider a face lift hanging head, a scarecrow hanging head, a rotten clown hanging head and an easy catch hanging head, all $29.99 each. An interesting skeleton pirate head chatters and mocks passersby, taunting them with the prospects of buried treasure. You can listen to the pirate's audio recording on site. I also like the animated, nibbling rat. This devise makes the most disgusting sounds as it nibbles on your arm or whatever else you have attached it to. The site has an audio file for your listening enjoyment.

You can also choose from an array of fog machines at Spirit. Use a fog machine with timers ($39.95) in conjunction with Halloween lights for a truly eerie effect. Other fog machines available on site include a Low Flying Fog Machine for indoor use. It generates a non-toxic, water-based fog that hovers close to the ground. $59.95.

Want something truly scary? Check out Spirit's life sized animatronics Jason Voorhees, who if you recall, is "the hockey-masked, knife wielding impaler of teenagers." The site provides a video of this guy in motion, and let me tell you, it's eerie! Jason isn't exactly cheap, at $249.00, but he's awesome scary!

Other animatronics include Crypt Keeper on Chopper, a hearse with coffin and several others.

Meanwhile, Artistic Delights has a number of interesting fog and light machines. (http://www.artisticdelights.com/)True, these items aren't really intended for Halloween, but you can certainly adapt them for that purpose. For example, the Wireless Remote Mister Fogger with LED lights features a 16 mode controller that turns the lights on and off, changes the sequence of various colored lights, and changes the amount of mist and more. Imagine using it with an evil black cauldron! $45.00. The site also offers a mist maker fogger on sale for $18.

Over at the 3d Fear Factory (http://www.3dfearfactory.com), we find a vibrating coffin for $21.95, a skull fogger, a spooky skull head that creates fog through his mouth ($35.99), plus strobe lights and fog machines.

At Fright Catalogue (http://www.frightcatalog.com) one of my favorite offerings is the Spooky Shadows Light. You really have to watch the video to see this in action, but it's very cool. The site reads, "Frosted rotating dome casts shadowy shapes and figures on surrounding surfaces for a scary optical illusion. Switch-activated light and motion; battery operated. The perfect night light for any Halloween-er." $22.99

Fright Catalogue also offers a Web Caster Gun, calling it "the latest in cobweb innovation." Who knew? I had no idea that cobweb creation was an industry. Anyway, the copy reads "The Webcaster Gun will give you the professional spiderwebs you crave, without any of the hassle of traditional cobweb machines. All you need to create totally realistic webbing is this unique, easy to use gun, a few Webcaster sticks, and a simple air compressor (not included). Comes with 6 Clear Webcaster Sticks to get you started. Plugs into any standard outlet." You can also get various other types of cobweb machines, strobe lights, fog machines and oh my goodness! Optical illusions with price tags in four figures!

The Monster Morph Illusion (at $1450 plus $500 shipping) comes with two boxes, and requires the participation of two humans (not included). One human goes into each box. The image in one box fades back and forth to the second box, where the human can charge out and scare people. You can also get a ghostly window illusion ($1785) in which a ghost appears and disappears. The ghost is included so no need to find your own. The Spill Your Guts Illusion ($4,690.00) requires a human to participate. Mirrors and trim boards create an effect of the person "not being all there." There's a video on site showing this inaction. In this case, the picture really is worth a thousand words.

Need ideas or instructions for setting up your display? If you're truly in to do-it-yourself technological effects, you'll find ideas and instructions at this site; http://wolfstone.halloweenhost.com/Welcome/Welcome.html .

Vile Things is another great site with projects, videos, instructions and links. http://www.vilethings.com/index.htm

Keep the Kids Happy With Star Wars Clone Troopers Halloween Costumes

Star Wars has been a firm favourite with children since the first film blasted onto cinema screens way back in 1978. Kids have always loved to play games around the Star Wars universe, with toys, collectibles, and computer games all available. With Halloween fast approaching, Star Wars Halloween costumes are always a good choice for kids looking to wear something different when Trick or Treating.

Some of the most popular costumes are the Clone Troopers, who first made an appearance in the second film - Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Cloned from the bounty hunter Jango Fett, Clone Troopers form the backbone of the Republic army. Secretly under the control of Senator Palpatine, he eventually turned them against the Republic, using their sheer weight of numbers to betray and crush the Jedi order. Later would they gradually change into the Imperial Troopers of Palpatine's feared Galatic Empire.

With the recent animated movie, The Clone Wars, along with the Clone Wars animated TV series, interest in Clone Troopers has never been higher. Video games and collectible action figures from the series are selling out, as children relive their favourite scenes and epic battles from the film.

With an eye catching and instantly recognisable outfit, Star Wars Clone Trooper Halloween costumes are a great choice for any youngster wanting to show off his fascination with George Lucas' ground breaking films. Why not get a group of children together, dressed as a Clone Trooper squad, heading out to the busy Halloween streets to do the Emperor's bidding.

How To Limit The Damage Of Halloween Candy Excess And Viable Alternatives To Halloween Candy

FOCUS ON ATTRACTIVE, HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES: Parents can make a conscious and yearly effort to create alternative Halloween traditions that place the focus on activity, not on treats - i.e hosting your own Halloween costume or craft party, coordinating a scavenger hunt (with toys, not candy, for prizes), participating in many of the candy-free harvest carnivals offered by churches and community centers, or spinning spooky tunes in the front yard to entertain passing neighbors.

A recent Halloween study found that children between three and fourteen were just as likely to chose toys as candy when offered both. So don't sweat offering alternatives to gooey goodies. Non-food Halloween items like pencils, stickers, and temporary tattoos are great alternatives. You can also chose healthier foods for trick or treaters like individual packages of graham crackers, mini boxes of raisins, or sugar free gum.

LIMIT THE DAMAGE: No matter how conscious you are about how you spend Halloween, it's inevitable that your child will probably be exposed to candy. You'll just need a plan to dispose of any excess. Some parents have success with allowing a few small pieces a day until most of the candy is gone or the kids lose interest. You can also offer to trade most of the candy for a bigger, more desirable prize, like a coveted Barbie doll or action figure. Even offering $5 for all but a few handfuls of candy is cheaper than a filling and less painful than a toothache. Dentists suggests letting children eat candy after a meal because the body will produce more saliva to help neutralize acids that can attach to tiny teeth. The worst time to eat candy is right before bed. Have kids rinse out their mouths and brush thoroughly after a candy feast, no matter what time of the day. What do dentists consider the worst candies for teeth? Anything that sticks to the teeth and stays there -- things like dots, gummy bears, suckers and hard candies. The best choices for "oral clearance" (spends the less time clinging to teeth) is chocolate because it melts quickly.

PURGE THE EXCESS: Once you've convinced your child to give up the extra candy, get it out reach so it's not longer a lingering temptation. Freeze some chocolate bars to melt for s'mores, brownies, or fondue on future winter days. Consider cutting up the rest to use as chocolate chips for baked goods you can make with your kids to give to senior citizen centers, military personnel, or any one special to your heart. Packaging up homemade cookies for the school crossing guard can make your child feel good about giving to others and take the focus off the candy.

USE HALLOWEEN TO TEACH SMART CHOICES, BUT DON'T DWELL: Halloween is a great time to talk to your children about the importance of making good nutritional choices, but you may not want to portray that message as one of overwhelming sacrifice. Once you've come up with a workable game plan that allows every one a little indulgence, explain the limits, but don't dwell on them. You can't raise a child and take away everything that is fun. The key is moderation and parental involvement. So offer your little spider-man or princess a slew of fun alternatives not focused solely on candy, but when they savor their hauls, know that treats in moderation are part of the thrill. Then help them learn to make good choices and figure out a useful way to share the extras.

Kids Snake Eyes Costume - The Coolest 2009 Halloween Costume!

Everyone loves Halloween. It is the only time of the year when we can dress up as something other than ourselves. And our kids love it because they can become superheroes, villains, or havoc-wreakers (depending on their personality!).

As October 31 approaches, we are all scrambling to try and find a reasonably priced costume for our kids and ourselves. The question is: What To Be For Halloween? 2009 brings plenty of options as comic book heroes have come full circle and retaken the limelight.

The coolest costume I have found this year is the GI Joe Snake Eyes costume. It is a black, ninja-style muscle suit with a mask, sword and sheath, and gloves. It looks just like the real thing! And you can buy Kids Snake Eyes costume for under $30 at most online shops. Plus they have an adult version too. Not bad, considering the state of our economy.

After watching my son spend hours playing GI Joe video games, I know that the Snake Eyes costume is perfect for him. Plus I can relate because I used to spend hours playing with GI Joe action figures when I was younger. How times have changed, right? I guess all kids love the idea of warfare. It is human nature because war has been with us ever since humans secured dominion over the planet. So why not encourage my son to be the 'Good Guy', Snake Eyes, who fights the evil Cobra Empire? That is exactly what I am going to do. And for the sake of nostalgia, I may just add in an adult Snake Eyes costume and go with him door-to-door in search of the best candy!

Happy Halloween!
