New Halloween Community

There is a new Halloween community that has launched recently.

The folks over at Buycostumes.com have been very creative.

They have launched a new community for Halloween that offers additional features than a forum normally does:

Halloween advice from experts
Halloween Party Planner
Earn rewards for free Halloween merchandise
Forum discussion
and more features too.

I like it. You should check it out.

Halloween Coloring Pages

Kids love to color. It does not matter what time of the year it is. They want to color.

Pages such as the Halloween Coloring Book is making it much easier and cheaper than having to buy coloring books at the store.

Batman Costume

Since the Batman Dark Knight movie I have heard a bunch of kids say "THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO BE"!!!

Can you blame them:
http://www.halloweenmagazine.com/batman-costume.asp Cool looking costume.

Plot: Batman and James Gordon join forces with Gotham's new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, to take on a psychotic bank robber known as The Joker, whilst other forces plot against them, and Joker's crimes grow more and more deadly.

Sweet.

Halloween History

As a Halloween enthusiast, I am always very interested in Halloween History and how it has evolved over the past centuries.



I encourage anyone who is not familiar with it's TRUE history to read and learn about it.



Halloween has nothing to do with promoting evil. That is only propaganda spread by those who are not educated on the history of Halloween.



A few good resources:

Another Halloween Site comes back

Halloween Association has just re-launched their site for 2008.

The design looks similar to their older layout with a cleaner menu. Looks like there are plans for other features too.

There are sections for costumes, props, many articles as well as other features that you would expect in a Halloween Resource.

Check it out.

Everything Halloween

Many new Halloween sites are re-designing their sites his year. Everything Halloween has launched with a nice new look.

The site has pretty much everything. There are plenty of resources covering Halloween costumes , props for Halloween , top 10 lists and Halloween party games are among the sections on the site.

The URL is http://www.everythinghalloween.com/

Become a Horror Film Maker?

There is a cool thing called the Terror Film Festival

They are promoting for you to submit your own screenplay and films.

If only there were enough hours in the day!

Conventions

I really like to be busy.

It sometimes is tough not being able to go to conventions. I recently missed The Midwest Haunters Convention.

These conventions seem to be getting better and better every year based on what others report.

Hopefully will be able to make that one next year.

Stan Winston

It is very sad that Stanley Winston died a few days ago. I personally did not realize the amount of excellent work that he did on Horror and other films. He recently did the special effects in Iron Man.

He was best known for his work in the Terminator series, the Jurassic Park series, Aliens, the Predator series, and Edward Scissorhands. He won a total of four Academy Awards for his work.

He will be missed.

History Of Halloween On The Web

It is interesting the different variations of Halloween History

I am a fan of http://www.history.com/minisites/halloween/

http://wilstar.com/holidays/hallown.htm is one of the oldest ones that I remember.

It would be very interesting to speak with a true historian about the false facts on the net. Especially those with a religious agenda.

Halloween 2008 and new stuff

I am getting excited about Halloween 2008. There is a lot already happening online.

Some sites that have been around for a long time seem to be "re-vamping" their sites. For instance, Halloween Magazine is launched a new design this week.

Halloween costumes will also be cool this year. There are a lot of movie icon characters out this year. Maybe I will make a list in the coming days with what I think will be hot!

Halloween News To Get Started
