A Visit to a Monster Makeup/Accessories Factory

Perhaps you are getting an understanding of how deep the ‘costume’ business goes with the last several posts.  Here is another video, this time a trip to a factory that makes props, accessories and masks for the monster movie industry.  ’Monster’ defined as alien or at variance in one way or another to our normal view of what is human.

Stage productions and movies are  great, but where would they be without the artists and technicians  behind them?

Plan for Next Year!!

Plan for Next Year!!  

Were you left out this year? Were you scrambling at the last minute for a Halloween costume?  Are you an early bird?

Whatever you are, there may be bargains aplenty at your local costume shop.  Forget the seasonal shops!!! They’ve already locked their doors until next year and are packing their inventory to store until next season when they’ll try to sell the same things to you again. 

 

This is an ad from Buycostumes.  See Ad in right column for more information.

Year round costume shops are less likely to have the storage capacity than their seasonal brethren (rivals or however they perceive the seasonal shop), and might be willing to negotiate a better price if in fact they haven’t already lowered their prices. 

You see…Christmas is coming and so the all-year-round costume shops will need that additional space for Santa Claus costumes, Santa Belles, Elves, Snowmen, and not to mention Santa wigs and beards, belts, padding, boottops and all the other seasonal stuff.

Looking for Halloween Costume Ideas for Kids?

More than likely, the child will tell you what they want to be, but if they don’t…watch what they watch on the Saturday morning cartoons, or perhaps another show that they seem to be fond of.  Maybe they’ll see something in a magazine.  If not, most costumers know what is age appropriate as well as what is most popular.

Start thinking now and make your decision early in October.  Take it from a (very) old costumer. That’s me.

Costumes are available at BuyCostumes.com.  See ad in right column.

It’s September and you don’t want to be left out.  Last year, the Angry Birds were one of the most popular costumes for kids, and somewhat popular with adults as well.  They sold out early.

My 7 year old grandson goes through phases (Blue’s Clue’s followed by Mario Brothers, followed by Spongebob, etc.) and he took a strong interest in Angry Birds last year.  Who knows what will be his fav this year, but whatever it is, I don’t want to wait until they are sold out.

Star Trek Latex Costumes

Star Trex Latex Costumes

I have a hunch these will be released too late to be imitated for the Halloween season, but they are pretty cool (or is it hot?), aren’t they?  Latex, though, is essentailly a very hot (not as in popularity) and uncomfortable material to wear skintight…or even loosely.
