Top Three Homemade Halloween Costumes

There are a lot of individuals each year that go on Halloween with handmade costumes and with ready made costumes being pricier with each passing year, it is quite obvious that the need for clever costumes made at home is there.

In the old days, people that were interested in doing their own costume would just grab a piece of white fabric, cut two holes in it and then go out as a ghost.  It is a still great idea for people that love ghosts to wear such a costume but there are so many different things that could be done as well.


A vampire is an excellent example of a Halloween costume that can be homemade.  All you need is a piece of black fabric to change into a cape (or a cape if you have one handy for other purposes) and then a tin of make-up in order to make the face pale enough that the person can indeed come across as a vampire.  To enhance the impression, you should get some lipstick or red crayon and smear some of it across the mouth and teeth of the person dressing up as a vampire.  This will add the illusion of the person having just had their dinner of blood and even without the tooth extensions there it is still a wonderful costume to wear.


Another great example of a costume that can be entirely homemade is that of a mad scientist.  Many people have chemistry goggles in their homes now because of university children or their own work and therefore a combination of these safety goggles, dark circles under the eyes created with the help of make-up and a white coat it is quite possible to make somebody look like a mad scientist.  If you get them to permanently open their eyes as wide as possible when they go out and then mess up their hair so that it looks as shaggy as possible then it will add an effect to the impression given by the costume.


Ghosts, vampires and mad scientists are just three costumes that people used to buy at the store all the time when they went on Halloween journeys.  However, it is quite possible to make these and other well-known costumes (i.e.

ghouls, goblins and faeries) at home with a bit of creativity and elbow grease and at the same time end up saving lots of money. 


Inventiveness is the watchword for clever homemade Halloween costumes.

Chucky And Mens Halloween Costumes

He may not be the biggest, bloodiest, or most intimidating horror movie villain, but Chucky the doll has still traumatized millions of movie-goers with just a few words.

"Hi, I'm Chucky. Wanna play?"

Two decades of children have lived in fear of those words. Two decades have seen him slice through everything from movies to haunted houses to Halloween outfits.

With red hair, blue overalls, and tiny little sneakers, Chucky could be a remnant from any toy chest, a piece of history from any childhood playtime... except games have always been the last thing on his agenda.

Originally released in 1988, "Child's Play" was conceived as a psychological thriller rather than a slasher flick. Writer/director Don Mancini wanted to examine the effects of advertising and commercialism on young children, with Chucky - a young boy's doll - serving as a focal point for the world's wicked ways.

In the film, Chucky is gifted to Andy, a lonely six year old.

Then Andy's caretakers start dying one by one. Despite Chucky's bloody legacy, the first film plays coy with his true nature; he isn't seen killing anyone until well into the movie, leading audiences to wonder if Andy himself is the culprit.

These days, of course, the idea that Chucky is "just a doll" is laughable. More than a character or a message, he's a brand in his own right. "Child's Play" has spawned countless sequels, spinoffs, games, toys, and Halloween outfits, each bloodier and more memorable than the last. Chucky stands at the helm of his own empire.

Ironically, Macini's warning against consumerism has become a consumer's dream. With countless Halloween outfits and Chucky dolls.

So what can you take from mens Halloween costumes built around Chucky? For one, you won't have to worry about being recognized. Chucky is one of the most iconic figures of his time, still famous after twenty years and a half-dozen sequels. You'll also be drawing on nostalgia - everyone has childhood memories (and nightmares) of Chucky.

Most importantly, Chucky is *scary*. He's a twisted horror of what should be untouchable - a corruption of youth and innocence that goes beyond Hollywood movie magic. By choosing to dress as Chucky, you'll be striking at deeper fear than just ghosts and spooky masks.

Chucky also makes a great choice for mens Halloween costumes. There aren't a lot of options for guys who like dressing up, but Chucky himself is male, and even the funny parts of his outfit - the wig, the overalls - aren't quite as amusing when they're covered in blood. You won't be laughed at in a Chucky costume.

This October, choose Chucky if you really want to make a statement. He's famous, he's frightening, and wearing his face is guaranteed to inspire both fear and conversation. There aren't many Halloween outfits more memorable than the one with a body count spanning two decades.

Mens Halloween costumes are difficult, but choosing Chucky is so easy it's almost... well... child's play.

An Interaction with Renaissance Costumes

Woolen dresses were the major part of clothing during medieval period. Linen was used to make undergarments. Long length of costumes in bright colors designed with embellishing materials like embroideries, jewelries other ornate were the indication of wealth people had. Royals and wealthier people had elaborate and extravagant medieval clothing. Like in modern age, medieval people envied royals and aristocrats for fashion. Noble ladies were the leading trend setter of that time. During late middle ages noble men wore hose and jacket with skirting or pleating or a tunic alongwith surcoat. It was voluminous gowns, attractive headgears for women.

Moralist and the preachers wore long woolen habits. Most of the dresses were to emulate Roman clothing. Even among the monks and nuns it was easier to designate them on the basis of habits’ color.

It was black for Benedictines, white or undyed wool for Cistercians. Monks were allowed to wear linen coifs in order to keep head warm and their clothes were also comfortable and plain. To get permission to wear woolen socks the poor Clare Sisters and nuns had to petition the pope.

Renaissance peasant costumes were far from the richness of wealthy people’s renaissance dresses. Linen, sheepskin, cotton and wool were the fabrics used in making of their costumes. But on late 14th century or in early 15th century cotton too became a luxurious fabric, no longer available to poor people. Because major quantity of cotton were imported (exported from India) thus heavily taxed by the rulers and became out of reach of common and poor people.

Even peasant women wore long gowns with tunics, minus all the shimmering effects which were present in gowns of noble ladies.

Their tunics were sleeveless and use a cloth headdress to cover head called wimple. The common renaissance clothing for peasant men was tunics and stockings. Cloaks of sheepskin, mittens and woolen caps were worn on chilly winter days. Wooden patens were used to cover leather boots to keep feet dry. They seldom laundered outer wears but the inner garments made of linen were washed routinely. It seemed that when they set around fire for warmth, smoke of it permeated into outer garment and acted as deodorant.

In early middle age medieval costumes of women consist of Kirtles, tunics worn to ankles that to worn over a shirt. During their public appearances they wore shorter kirtles. It was obvious that affluent women wore luxurious costume.

During the medieval eras fur was used to line the garments of rich. They especially imported the exotic furs and feathers to decorate their renaissance clothes. Jewelries were grand and lavish. The value of wealthier people’s costume remained constant or even increased because of material used in making so, in harder times wealthier people use these costumes as a source of income or security against loan. The technique of cutting gems was not in its best form thus most of them lacked luster.

Pirate Costumes - The Latest Costume Party Disguise

Adults, as much as kids, have fun getting disguised and running wild in a certain occasion. However, finding the right costume can prove to be difficult especially because of gender bias. Thanks to pirate costumes, gender stereotype is not something to be concerned about. All pirate lovers can now rise up to the challenge and fun of spotting the hidden treasure amidst a pitch black room.

True enough, many of the pirates in literature and history were men while women were generally portrayed in land-based supporting roles. There are nonetheless a few stories of fiery women with the sea in their veins, and women's pirate costumes reflect just that. Of course, in the male-dominated pirate scene, female characters like pirate wench costumes or working girls are often relegated to serving drinks at the tavern.

Pirate costumes are popular with children, and equally so for adults.

Adult pirate costumes go further than those for children: they are more nuanced, more complex, and definitely sexier. For both sexes, the pirate image oozes a sense of lawlessness, strength, and unwavering independence. These are characters that are confident in what they do and who they are, and can beat you down if they needed or wanted to.

Pirate costumes usually come with a ton of props. No adult pirate costume is complete without an eye patch, a pirate teeth, and hooks on an iron hand. One can also choose to have a pirate head wrap while holding and swinging pirate weapons. Guns and cutlasses are the favorites but you can always choose your own weapon to fight other scalawags or even the British Royal Navy.

Ladies pirate costumes come in different styles and characteristics too. Women can choose from being pirate lass, a pirate queen, or Seven Seas Siren. Of course, an eye catching pirate hat or band can also fit the ladies. For adult women, the pirate-setting character gets an additional facet. They are supposedly enlightened to the sexuality of things, and the characters they look at and portray get that sexual side to them. The pirate is someone who takes what they want from whoever they wish and does whatever they feel. This carefree spirit extends to the costume, giving it that sexy yet butt-kicking feel. A pirate costume says "I am strong, I am sexy, and you will not want to mess with me". Even pirate wench costumes have a tough, I-won't-take-any-of-your-nonsense look.

Pirates have conquered the world of Halloween and other costume parties. It's time to get into the trend and party in style with the best pirate Halloween costume you can come up with. Still, it all comes down to how you play the part. Talking like a pirate is only an extra. It is about how you swagger, how you move with effortless confidence. This is what we admire the most about pirates: they are confident. They are confident enough to not care what others think and to feel that what they do is right. If you think you can do that, then the pirate costume will look great on you. Put one on and you can go in search of treasure, danger, and wild times!

What is the history of Vietnam national Costumes

From the earliest days of Vietnam, traditional costumes have been a vital part of the national Identity and a touchstone of cultural pride.

 

Zhao Tuo (230-137 BC), was a Qin dynasty’s mandarin in the Southern to settle his own kingdom and cultivate a distinctive Viet culture that parted from Han civilization. His new kingdom would be short lived, however.

 

In 111BC, the land he named Nam Viet was occupied by the Han Dynasty. Numerous policies were imposed to bring the Southern territory into cultural alignment, including forcing Vietnamese to convert to Han costumes, characterized by large diagonal flaps wrapped backwards and tightened sleeves.

 

Traditional costumes began to fade into obscurity.

However, they would never completely disappear. In fact, clothing took on a role that was more than merely fashion. Indigenous costumes were seen as a touchstone and a source of Vietnamese cultural independence, and were often referred to in the centuries that followed.

 

During ten centuries of Han colonization, the Vietnamese triggered hundreds of uprisings in pursuit of independence. Leaders of those resistances were always seen in Viet costumes, as documented by historical accounts. Female heroines such as the Trung Sisters, who briefly regained power in 40-43 A D are depicted wearing green shirts, red dresses and red caps. Lady Trieu, who led a revolt in the 3rd century, wrapped her chest with silk, wearing a golden shirt and curved slippers while rushing to the front on an elephant.

 

Historical records, such as the Complete Annals of the Dai Viet, written during the 13th-15th centuries and compiled by historian Le Van Huu, looked back on the early culture as a way to strengthen national identity. Records such as these ultimately helped inspire Vietnam's final independence from the Ming rulers, achieved in 1428 by Emperor Le Loi

 

The legendary scholar, poet and politician Nguyen Trai (1380-1442), in his epic work Great Proclamation upon the Pacification of the Wu, a declaration of independence from the Ming Dynasty, refers to the pride of Vietnamese costumes and traditions which had been preserved for generations to form an identity unique to Vietnam.

 

In later years, archeological discoveries have only heightened the connection of costumes to the Vietnamese identity. In the early 20th century, local and foreign archaeologists discovered the Bronze Age Dong Son culture. Many bronze statues denoting costumes from this period show people wearing scarves or loincloths. Warriors are seen with short breastplates and shields, and female dancers with diagonally flapped outer garments, girdles and baggy sleeves.

 

Aristocrats were portrayed wearing hiking hats or diadems, parted dresses or long gowns. Ornaments with golden, jade or amber strings featuring female dancers in light attire, hooked buttons and buttons carved with gold coated Lac birds in Dong son dolmens clearly demonstrate continuity with Nam Viet costumes.

 

Other archeological finds, such as the 1983 discovery of the tomb of Emperor Trieu Van, the second emperor of Nam Viet, who died in 124 BC, also have provided researchers with priceless information on court costumes. The Emperor's short armor was found to consist of many geometrically decorated patches which were unlike any designs from the Qin and Han dynasties. His costumes also included seven girdles with gold coated buckles of various shapes and dozens of long swords.

 

Images of Emperor Van Trieu's wife show her depicted in a parted dress, with her hair parted and her hand resting on a bronze mirror. Archeologists also unearthed bronze pots carved with Viet costumes, hundreds of brocade fabric pieces, and bronze marks which were used for pattern printing.

 

Religious artifacts also illuminate the historical picture, especially the discovery of terracotta bricks featuring three Buddhas in Nghe An or the discovery of a bronze Buddha statue in Thanh Hoa that traces back to the 7th or 8th century. Those statues exhibit the Buddha in traditional Vietnamese tu than tunic, with a round collared bodice tightened sleeves and belts, seated on a hexagonal base.

 

Over the centuries, Vietnamese costumes have come to embody national pride and identity. Traditional costumes derived from Hung Vuong and Nam Viet periods survived through ten centuries of Han colonization, and laid the foundation for the flourishing of Vietnam’s national costumes in the era of independence.

A fourth installment of the big-screen version of the comic book is due to be released in 2011, with the film's producers promising many more Spiderman films to follow. It has been established that Spider-Man 1 and Spider-Man 2 are among the top twenty biggest grossing films of all time in the world, so why stop at number four? It obviously makes sense to stick with a winning formula.

Even a lavish musical based on the superhero is being planned, entitled "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark" which will be reportedly the most expensive production in Broadway history. Featuring songs from U2, the musical is sure to be a great hit.

Now it even seems that Spiderman can also take the credit for a real-life rescue. A Bangkok fireman dressed in a Spiderman costume rescued an eight-year-old autistic boy who had climbed out of a third-floor classroom window. Efforts by the teachers to coax the child back inside had failed and a chance remark by the boy's mother regarding his passion for Spiderman prompted one fire fighter - a fellow Spiderman fan - to rush back to the fire station where he just happened to keep his Spiderman costume in his locker! It was reported that when the child saw the fireman in his Spiderman costume, the boy smiled and promptly threw himself in his superhero's arms.

Apparently, the fireman keeps his Spiderman costume in his locker to liven up fire drills in schools. Well, that's his excuse anyway!

Spiderman also hit the Israeli news headlines this year, when it was reported that Highway police were called to apprehend a man in a Spiderman costume, who was startling commuters by throwing ropes at their vehicles (presumably improvised "web-shooters") and jumping on top of cars. The would-be superhero was arrested and, while under investigation, told police he had woken up in hospital wearing the Spiderman costume, with no recollection of how he came to be dressed in it or why he was there. Unsurprisingly, doctors were summoned to assess the man's mental health.

Lets take a look briefly of the origins of this holiday.

The holiday is actually a mixture of the ancient Celtic holiday of Samhain, the Roman festivals of Feralia and Pomona and the Christians day of All-hallows Eve, which became Halloween. All-hallows Eve was the day before All Saints' Day, which was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas. This day was to take the place of the Celtic's Samhain the day before they celebrate the day of the dead.

 

The Celtics believed that on Samhain the ghosts of the dead would return and ruin their crops. The Celtics would light bonfires and wear costumes, consisting of animal heads and skins and would try to tell each other's fortunes in an attempt to ward off the ghosts.

 

By changing Samhain to All-hallows Eve, the day before All Saints' Day, the Catholic Church sought to bring a more religious nature to the Celtics day of the dead making it a day to honor saints and martyrs.

 

When European immigrants came to America, their varied Halloween customs came along with them.

Trick-or-treating actually goes back to the early All Souls' Day parades in England. Poor people would beg for food during the festivities. They were given pastries called "soul cakes" by families for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives.

 

The wearing of costumes not only have Celtic roots by European roots as well. There was a time when people thought that on Halloween ghost would come back and if they left their houses the ghost would see them. So as to not be recognized by the ghosts, people wore masks when they left home so that the ghosts would think that they were ghosts also. To keep the ghosts from entering their homes, people would put bowls of food outside their houses.

 

So as you can see Halloween has a long and strange history. So now lets look at some great adult Halloween costumes ideas.
