Harry Potter vs. Twilight

Thinking about Twilight got us in the mood for some Harry Potter - you know, the boy who lived! Check out our favorite costumes below.

We’ll start with the boy who started it all: Harry Potter himself! Our Premium HP Gryffindor Costume is the perfect way to dress as Harry. It features a premium deluxe hooded robe is made of Black velvet and lined in Burgundy satin with a front clasp and the Gryffindor Crest on the front. We recommend practicing Quidditch in this robe, sure to keep you warm at all times! Wand sold separately here.

For Ron and Hermione, try our Gryffindor Robes. These robes match Harry’s, so they can even be used for a Neville or Seamus costume. They feature black ankle length robes with attached hoods, burgundy accents, front close clasps and an embroidered Gryffindor Crest patch on the front. Be sure to get them cleaned and pressed in Diagon Alley before you start up school at Hogwarts!

Got blonde hair? Have a thing for Draco Malfoy? The baddest troublemaker at Hogwarts (after Harry himself, of course!) is Malfoy, and we’ve got aSlytherin Robe Costume to help you channel him. The mean attitude and the high-pitched voice you’ll have to master on your own. Costume includes robe, shirt and tie.

If you’re looking to go the scary route, we have two options: Death Eaters and Dementors. Freaky and frightening, these numbers are as scary as they look. Our Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Deluxe Death Eaters costume features a grey and white mask that’s so realistic you could swear you’ve mutated into a real servant of Voldemort! The costume includes a hooded cape with attached shirtfront and mask.

Another freaky and fabulous HP costume is our Harry Potter Dementor Costume! You may want to practice your scary hands so that when you invade the Hogwarts Express en route to school, or ruin a Quidditch game, you do so believably. Costume includes Black character mask and long black robe with chest piece.

Summit Entertainment vs. Rachelle Lefevre: It's On!

Have you heard all the drama surrounding the replacement of Rachelle Lefevre for Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria in Eclipse? Read all about it here - we're Team Rachelle! Getting excited for Halloween? Wanting to recreate your favorite scene from New Moon? Or even better, looking to get vampire-y with it, old school style? Check out these great costumes and props!

This Halloween, channel the Twilight stars, now in the pages of their books, but soon to hit big screens in the Twilightmovie, which is filming as we speak. Those who want to go all out can channel the Twilight crew in our Classic Vampire Scary Horror Children’s Costume. This costume includes cape, vest with bow tie, medallion, cummerbund and gloves.

Want to be the kind of vampire that nobody notices until you open your mouth? Try our fantastic Love Bites Deluxe Custom Fangs. Your prey won’t know what hit them until you open your mouth and it’s too late! These babies are so bad you don’t even need a costume to go with!

Go the easy route with our Vampire Ears. These are, much like the Love Bites featured above, the perfect way to go if you want to mimic the Twilight Crew without too much effort. One of the best things about the Twilight stories is that the kids are vampires, but they’re also teenagers dealing with normal teen problems. You might feel compelled to try and hide your ears once you’ve got these on, but remember, if the Twilight kids can rock them, so can you!

For a scary effect, pair the Love Bites with our Stage Blood. Stage Blood is a bright red water-based product that looks exactly like fresh spurting blood. Stage Blood dries just like real blood. Drip some blood down the side of your mouth, and you’ve got a realistic vampire effect.

Other costume ideas include our Vampire Elite Collection Child’s Costume, a decadent outfit that includes velvet vest with attached shirt sleeves, dickie shirt front with scarf collar, full-length lined satin cape, pants and medallion on ribbon.

Girls can try our Gothic Vampira Elite Collection Child Costume, a fabulous getup that includes a full-length lace-trimmed panne and shimmer satin gown, jeweled choker and tulle and lace petticoat. This costume is perfect for the heartbreaker, it’s bad and beautiful all at once.

No matter which costume you choose, rock it vampire style! Be sure to get your hands on the Twilight and join the growing legion of fans!

BA BA BA BA BATMAN!

This Halloween, pretend you’re Bruce Wayne and his counterparts. Imagine you live in Gotham City, don your scallop-hemmed cape and take off into the night. Batman’s one of the most beloved superheroes in history, even though he’s the only superhero character that possesses no superhuman powers and instead relies on his own scientific knowledge, detective skills and athletic prowess.

Go against the grain and pick a lesser character to imitate with ourBatman Begins Scarecrow Deluxe Movie Costume. This officially licensed Batman Begins™ deluxe costume includes long robe with attached straps, shirtfront, pants and a character mask. This is a frightening getup, but works perfectly as a duo costume when a friend goes as Batman himself.

Go all the way with our Batman Dark Knight Heritage Collection.A pricy piece, but it’s worth every dime. "You wanted me, here I am." Gotham City has seen it’s share of criminals, but nothing like these guys. The Joker and Two-Face are plotting to bring the city down, and there’s only one man that can stop them – Gotham’s favored son – Batman! The Batman Dark Knight Batman costume is from the Grand Heritage Collection and includes a black bodysuit to be worn under the molded armor pieces, gauntlets, Batman utility belt, black cape and boot covers. An over-the-head mask with extended neckpiece that can be tucked into the bodysuit is also included to complete this authentic Batman costume.

Play for the other side of the team with our Joker Costume. Get serious about Halloween with this cool Joker costume! This officially licensed Batman: The Dark Knight Joker Halloween costume includes the Joker mask and the purple coat with attached, screen printed shirt, vest, and tie combo. Watch out Gotham, things just became a little more complicated!

Lastly, try our Batman TV Superhero Costume. This one is a bonafide classic, with its jumpsuit with attached boot tops, headpiece with cape, and belt. This costume guarantees no one will mistake you for any other superhero. Gotham city, look out, ‘cause a hero is on the loose!

How to decorate like a pro!

Halloween Props for the Home

Spice up your home this season with a variety of Halloween themed decorations! Our website offers everything from silly faux- tombstones for the front yard to light strings for the porch to cats for the kitchen.

Hang our Skeleton Spiderfrom the kitchen fan. Next time someone turns the fan on, they’ll get a little skeleton surprise! This toy is also great for the front porch as a way to attach trick or treaters.

If you really want to give them a scare, try our Latex Ghoul. We’d recommend putting him anywhere from the foot of the stairs to smack dab in the middle of the front yard, or perhaps even next to the mailbox. He’s not as mean as he looks, we promise!

If the ghoul is too much for you, try “planting” our Gruesome Ground Breaker in the front yard. This package contains two hands, each one on a small 2” stake. They’re spooky as can be! Talk about raising the dead!

Throwing a Halloween party? Decorate in style with our Halloween Pumpkin Bunting. This is an adorable way to jazz up a space! Black and orange bunting measures approximately 20' long with 5 pumpkin tie-backs that have self-gripping fasteners. The best part? You can reuse it again and again, so if your parties become infamous, your bunting will too!

Scare them as soon as they come up the front steps with ourHanging Grey Reaper. 20" Hanging Gray Reaper is wearing a shredded gray gauze shroud with attached hood. Reaper measures approximately 20" high. Made of plastic with a gauze robe and hood. Has plastic shackles connected to neck and wrists. This guy is absolutely as freaky as it gets.

Get ‘em good with our Posable Spiders. Spiders are the one thing almost everyone is scared of, so they’re the perfect addition to a Halloween party. Place them next to the punch and watch people jump, or stick them on the floor when everyone is walking around. You can also attach them to a string and dangle them in the doorway. Yikes!
