3. Budget selection of costumes, plus some deluxe costumes

Halloween Makeup

There are a number of places where you can buy great props. We’ve had a good look around the net and discovered that some stores are stronger in certain Halloween Props and some in other categories of items. So we’ve categorised them in order for your convenience.

One of the best that we have seen for props, perhaps not suprisingly being that they cater for all forms of parties in general is PartyBox.

For specialist Halloween Outfits – including movie oriented outfits like Freddy Krueger, Friday the 13th etc, Joker’s Masquerade wins hands down.

For more cost / budget conscious Halloween Outfits, Silly Jokes is right up your street. They offer a number of more cheap and cheerful general themed Halloween costumes at a price that fits the budget. Just do not expect anything related to actual specific movie characters. Silly Jokes specialise in generic costumes. So if you are really looking for famous horror movie characters, Jokers’ and Angels’ are best for costumes based on specific horror movie characters. In addition to Freddy Kruegar from Nightmare on Elm Street, Jason Voorhies from Friday the 13th, you can also find the likes of Michael Myers’ masks, Ghostbusters outfits, Chucky from Child’s Play etc.

For Halloween Makeup, Joker’s Masquerade is one of the best places to buy online. They even have a section for those that regard themselves as complete Halloween Makeup dummies.

All these places win hands down over somewhere like Amazon. Amazon is a one stop shop, so they are like a lucky dip, whereas these other stores are all specialists in halloween props and other supernatural / horror party items. They know what people want and some actually have physical retail stores directly serving the public.

In fact Jokers’ Masquerade and Angels’ Fancy Dress have been going for a while and both own actual costume stores that you can visit. So you are in great hands with those two when it comes to finding the perfect costume for you. They are proven specialists.

Have a look at around the rest of this site as we take a look at some of the best or very interesting ghoulish products on the market this 31st October. Happy shopping for your Halloween props!

Cheap Halloween Props

Halloween Props — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 20:47:59 +0000

Cheap Halloween props can complete a larger Halloween room design of existing props and decor, or they can be a cheap and cheerful way to create a Halloween room design. This is because they usually are not big items, but they are very affordable. So they can be placed in discrete places to enrich the atmosphere and bring to fruition the bigger props, if present, or you can otherwise buy enough to achieve a Halloween effect. Since so many of us grew up with this holiday, it may be worthy spending a little more time creating the right prop than abandoning the tradition. A few examples of such props will be given bellow.

If you have a cemetery set, a bat placed in a cornet or on a piece of furniture somewhere in the room can complete and empower that spooky feeling. Also for a set like this, a tombstone with a skull on it or with the inscription “RIP”, in form of a Christian or Celtic cross are quite appropriate. And of course what cemetery would not have corpses? You can find cheap skeletons, some of which glow in the dark, decorative spider webs and even spiders.

For a psychopath killer theme, some human organs that look as if they were just ripped from a body are a very good idea. We include here the human brain, the heart or a hand, all with anatomic design, not the romantic one. Other cheap Halloween props for this set are the big “Monster House” sign with assorted colors, the warning yard signs with “Danger” or the fake barbwire.

There are many such cheap Halloween props. They are most suitable for house parties, where nor the budget or the space are that big, students or people who just want to save their money, especially in this period of economic recession, yet they still want to keep the tradition of celebrating Halloween. For all those who grew up with this holiday, giving up on it would sound really depressing, to say the least. A black chair back tie, some black table gems – scatter crystals, a black cauldron, some venomous snakes, some bloody razors, an ice bucket with a skull painted on it are just as many possible solutions for you to keep this spirit alive with just a few pounds.

All in all, Halloween can be a lot of fun, whether because you are going to eat a lot of candy or because you will party with friends. If you, as most people, will choose the latter reason, the cheap Halloween props can make a big difference between a regular party and an excellent one.

Scary Halloween Props

Halloween Props — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 11:46:15 +0000

Scary Halloween props are the props that are most faithful to the true spirit of this holiday – those designed to shock people. Or in some cases, some people want the props to disgust people. The usual is to go for something that looks shocking though.

Monsters and horror stay at the core of Halloween. Sometimes, for different reasons, people wish to set aside the horror element in favor of more fun in a less frightening environment. But there are still those who like the original thrills of this holiday and for them the internet provides many cool products. Of course these props can be used by other people too, like if you want to increase the level of intensity of a spooky special event for example.

So, here are some of those scary Halloween props that you can buy online. First there is the Halloween Shaking Skeleton in a Cage. This one would look cool with some white smoke around. Its red eyes are glittering and it really shakes, as it works on batteries (which are included in the price). It is 60 cm tall, its rags and cage, and in general the whole design, look very realistic. It costs £14.99.

Other scary products are some human organs with blood pumping out of them. The first of these is the Halloween Pumping Heart in Hand with Adaptor. This will need an electrical outlet near as it does not work with batteries. It will look cool on the main table, among snacks and beverages. Its design is a hand coming out from the earth holding a heart in it. And this heart pumps out blood, imitating the heart beats. It is 28 cm high and it costs £35.99.

Other similar products are the “Today’s Fresh Cuts Heart / Brain” Blood Fountain with Adaptor. Unlike the previous model, here the heart (or the brain) is set on a cutting board with a bloody knife next to it. It also pulsates blood (it is not real blood, of course). This model will look best on the kitchen table or on the crazy maniac theme. It also needs an electrical outlet and it costs £35.99.
These products go well also for scary chambers in amusement parks or any other places where people go to get chills regularly. But they may fit well for the regular horror fans. They are very expensive and you can use them for more than one year. But as mentioned in the introduction, these props can raise the horror factor for your party and are not just for the hardcore fans of horror. So, no matter what your objective is, the investment in scary Halloween props will pay off if you want to put a bit of a scare into your party guests.

Halloween Prop Overview

Halloween Props — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 01:43:18 +0000

The Halloween prop is a must for one of the most popularly celebrated days of the year. Actually, there would be no Halloween without corresponding Halloween props, models of bodies or parts of monsters, vampires, witches and others. And although usually kids dress up and go for trick or treat, grownups enjoy this time of the year with relish too with the usual props and costumes at themed Halloween parties.

Apparently, Halloween draws its roots in the Celtic celebration of the end of summer and of the lighter part of the year and the beginning of autumn and the darker part of year, a celebration named Samhain. This seems to be the prevailing opinion, although other historians linked Halloween with the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or with Parentalia, the festival of the dead. The name “haloween” though, comes from comes from 16th century Scotland where it designated the All Hallows Eve, which was the night before All Hallows Day, the celebration of all saints. But the modern Halloween is a secular holiday celebrated each year on October 31.

Some of the many things you can choose for Halloween are banners and posters for your walls and floors, table decorations, ceiling and hanging decorations, inflatables, replicas of spiders and other creepy animals, confetti, crepes and ribbons. Considering all these options, it will not be hard to have covered every part of your house, but which particular item to choose over the other.

Some objects can be found on more than category. For large parties probably the wallpapers are a good choice. Also good choices are various full size cardboards of characters like Elvira Witch, Freddy Kruger, Buffy – The Vampire Slayer, or even yourself, as there is the option of personalization. If you have a little less space, little items laid around the house like little skeletons, skulls, bones and insects.

An example of one of the coolest Halloween prop is the fake tomb stone decorated with skulls and with the “RIP” inscription. It would be a very good choice for the entrance to your party. Other things that can make your party a “deadly” party are dismembered mummy arms with blood on them which you can lay them around. For your floor you can choose a venomous snake or a tarantula. For your walls you can choose a cemetery banner and your Halloween party is set.

There are few stable, traditional things in the modern life, but Halloween is one of them. Sometimes it is waited for the whole year by people to recall their childhood memories and have fun with their friends. And in both these processes, getting a great Halloween prop or two is crucial, it gives you the taste of the witching hour when the spooks are on the prowl.

Hey, You! Do you know where I can find some super scary Halloween props?

Halloween Props — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 03:09:53 +0000

Here’s an interesting view on Halloween props. Someone has asked for super scary props, and another person has said there’s no such thing, try and scare them with the element of surprise.

This is true to an extent, if it doesn’t move then it’s probably not going to freak someone out if they can see it from a mile off. But if it’s something that may suddenly move or make a noise unexpectedly, then the element of surprise will startle if not completely freak out most people.

An atmosphere of course is established by having high quality scary looking props, but you definitely need the element of surprise via movement or sound to achieve the scare factor element!

Okay…I’ve got a HUGE halloween/birthday party coming up, and when I say HUGE, I mean it. I’ve got a DJ, fog machine, strobe lights, and great music…But I need some scary props. If you can’t already tell, we’ve spent a lot of money on other things, so I can’t really blow the budget on this one.
I need a good website where I can order some extremely scary halloween props.
All help is appreciated!
Thanx for looking!

No such thing as extremely scary props. You’ll need the element of surprise. Have a distraction prop and scare people from behind or use a device to make an object pop up when someone gets close. Last year, Fearnet.com went coast to coast catching ideas on camera then put them online. Maybe they’ll do the same this year. They called it Route 666.

How to make low cost halloween props

Halloween Props — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 03:09:54 +0000

It’s time to get imaginative. A great Halloween Party demands great props. Great props depends on knowing where to look and / or having a creative mind. And the where to buy and a desire to take a creatively inspired approach is exactly what this poster is looking for:

I am starting my first year doing a haunted thing in my front yard for halloween and do not know where to begin!
I would like it to have a WOW factor…

Halloween is my favorite holiday. I add something new every year. After putting everything out, I usually add some more the day of Halloween for a bit of a surprise for the kids. Our house has become the drive by spot, like a house all decorated for Christmas. On Halloween night, kids have their parents drive them to our house to get their goods, and parents in other neighborhood know our home by the Halloween house. Hysterical!!

We always have the music going. A cd on loop hidden in the bushes. We have two foggers going, and a strobe light. Realistic tombstones are easy to make. Use Foam board insulation, cut into the shape you want and then sand the edges down. Once you have them done pick up some Grey latex paint. Paint the entire tombstone. If you purchase Rustoleum spray paint you can remove this little thingie inside the top. That allows the can to spurt. Get black, grey, and white. Stand back and sputter in even strokes. As you add the layers of the spray paint you’ll see that you are creating a granite stone look. They are too cool!!

We have some skeleton bones we put out in front of some. Some skulls, some ravens on the tombstones or in the trees, If you have a large window in front of your home you could do a couple of things. Hang cheese cloth as curtains, and decorate the room as a set. Like a psychic parlor, a haunted room, or roll your big screen in front of it and play a PG scary movie.

The thing is, pull them in with the decorations, get them coming back with the goods. Hit a Sam’s or Costco to get the big candy bars, or find a wholesaler to buy things from. Your house will be safe all year long.
The only problem is you need your friends out their to entertain the line. Those kids can get mean!!!

Scary Halloween Props

Halloween Props — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 20:40:42 +0000

Scary Halloween Props are essential to set and maintain an eerie atmosphere. Stuck for ideas. Well here are some great ideas on what you can buy.

Make Halloween Props That Will Make’Em Scream
By Kristin King

Halloween is the second most decorated holiday of the year, people love to make props to decorate their home and garden. Some people buy all decorations and props and others make their props by hand. If you think its hard to make everything yourself you can also choose to mix bought items and home made props, this way you safe time, money and have a scary home. Here are some really fun and easy ways to create Halloween props for the entire house.

Halloween props for the front yard

It is fun to decorate the front yard for Halloween because so many people will see it. Everyone who will walk or drive trough the street will see what you have created. You can make Halloween props yourself and you can think of items like pumpkins on the porch, a huge tarantula from large trash bags or a big spider web in the bushes. You can also create props like “old” grave stones in the yard.

The other option you have for the front yard is to see it a bit larger and rent or buy one or more professional Halloween props, these can be animated. Lights and sound are also a crucial when you want to scare people. But for the front yard you should buy outdoor lights because you never know what weather it is going to be. Buying or renting a fog machine and some sound effects for added enjoyment will certainly make people talk for a long time a bout what they experienced in your yard.

Make props for the Halloween Living Room

Decorating the living room is for your own family and your guest the place where they will spend most of their time, so this is the room where you need to put in some effort. Still the living room should not be over decorated, it also needs to stay a place where you can be yourself and relax. You can buy some Halloween stickers or hang ups for the windows and walls. A home made dish with candy or candy apples is nice for the coffee table and you can make props like figurines for special effects on the table.

Make Halloween props for the Kitchen

Just as the living room, the kitchen is a place you do not want to over decorate because you need to be able to use it for its original function. You can use Halloween dish clothes around the kitchen and create Halloween props like place mats on the table. But we would advice you to try to find a scary Halloween center piece for the kitchen table or counter top, in prop shops you have props that seem to come from the butcher that move and bleed. They are real scary and you just need one item (like the moving hand see link below) to create the most scary kitchen in the neighborhood.

Make props for the Rest of the Halloween House

The rest of the house is totally up to you, there are so many cute or scary Halloween decorations you can buy or make like Halloween bed sheets, toilet covers and towels. But also Halloween figurines for each room for the windows. For the windows that look at the front yard you can best create props that fit with your yard decoration. If you decide to make props yourself you will notice that its fun and exciting to do. But it does not matter if you buy or make Halloween props, if you store them carefully you can add something each year. In a few years you will have the best decorated home for the Halloween holiday you can dream about.
