Werewolf costumes are some of the most classic outfits to dress in for 
Halloween. Along with Dracula, witches, and ghosts, the werewolf is more of a traditional costume meant to frighten others when worn on the ghoulish holiday. Though it may not be quite as popular as some of the other common Halloween costumes, plenty of werewolves can be seen running around on Halloween night. These costumes tend to be more geared to adults, as they do not receive a lot of popularity among the younger crowd.
There are a number of werewolf costumes that you can don to transform to the half man, half human creature. The outfit is not too important. Most costumes come with a shirt and jeans, both of which possess a tattered and worn look. This is because the transformation from man to beast usually means the clothing becomes too small. Many costumes come with button down shirts or t-shirts, depending on what you wish to wear.
Long sleeved shirts work best for werewolf costumes, because it is cooler to wear that and wolf-like gloves than arm pieces containing lots of fur. A common misconception about werewolf Halloween costumes is that they can make the person really them hot and miserable. However, most are now made with proper ventilation that will keep you from getting too overheated while playing the part of a werewolf. Along with gloves, foot pieces are typically worn over the shoes that resemble the feet of a werewolf.
A mask is probably the most important thing when people decide to be werewolves for Halloween. These masks typically come with lots of gangly, coarse hair flowing from the back of the facial area. The face consists of a dark brown color, with wrinkles and imperfections that make it look more like that of an animal. There are usually sharp yellow teeth protruding from the mouth, and large pointy ears extended from the face. The exact look of the werewolf will differ from mask to mask, so you can feel free to choose the one that looks the scariest to you.
If you choose to forgo the mask and make your face up to look like a werewolf, there are a few things you will need. Brown face paint or make-up will be necessary to get the proper skin tone for the beast. It will be difficult to match the wrinkles and hairy fur that a mask can provide, but you can sometimes find kits that come with these items. Fangs can also be applied to your canine teeth to allow your mouth to look like that of a werewolf.
With the werewolf being a classic Halloween figure, the costumes available to transform yourself into the beast are generally not too expensive. This may be the best route to go if you are wishing to dress up but are on a tight budget. Those attending an adult Halloween event find it scary and humorous to dress up as werewolves to frighten the guests. If you plan to be part of a haunted house exhibit, you must consider having a werewolf amongst the scary creatures.
The Hellraiser movies have been one of the biggest influences on modern Halloween costumes. For anyone who has not seen the Hellraiser movies, the first film debuted in 1987, simply titled Hellraiser. The first film begins with the misadventure of Frank Cotton, who unravels the mystery behind a strange puzzle box purchased from an antiques dealer. His reward for solving the puzzle: flesh tearing pain and imprisonment by the demons named “Cenobites.” The Cenobites are lead by the infamous Pinhead.
Later, Frank’s brother Larry and Julia (Larry’s second wife) moves into Frank’s house. In the past, Julia had an affair with Frank. After accidentally cutting his hand on a nail Larry’s blood winds up nourishing his brother’s soul which leads the captive Frank to convince Julia to help him restore his physical form. In order to do this, she must lure men up into the attic where Frank is held so that he can use their blood to regenerate himself.
The film is very unsettling with heavy sadomasochistic themes. The original Hellraiser was followed up with many sequels, including:
- 1988’s Hellbound: Hellraiser II
- 1992’s Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth
- 1996’s Hellraiser: Bloodline
- 2000’s Hellraiser: Inferno
- 2002’s Hellraiser: Hellseeker
- 2005’s Hellraiser: Deader
- 2005’s Hellraiser Hellworld
- And an upcoming 2011 release titled Hellraiser: Revelations
Such a long list of sequels and dark themes has made the Hellraiser series of films a fast favorite during Halloween. Rather than simply watching the films, some people prefer to take it a step further.
Fans Love Hellraiser Halloween Costumes
Pinhead is hands down the most popular character from the Hellraiser series. His likeness has been recreated in costume form. Each year, retailers offer premade costumes that come with everything fans need to dress up like the infamous Pinhead demon. There are a handful of different styles available, even children’s sizes. Pinhead window clings are also available for easy decorating while deviating away from the typical pumpkins, witches and spiders.
Although Pinhead is the most popular choice for Hellraiser costumes, there are other styles available. The extremely creepy, hook wielding Chatterer costume is also available, complete with grotesque face mask and detailed body suit. Butterball is another option that is equally as unsettling, with a meaty gut complete with gaping wound and gory effects. Serious fans can put together a group theme with each Cenobite costume. It could become the most disturbing Halloween ever for those who encounter this trio of movie characters.
Get Into Character for Halloween
If you plan to show your love of the Hellraiser movies, then make sure you get into character for Halloween. Many authentic character costumes are available online, along with creepy accessories such as the Hellraiser weapons belt. Plan a fun evening of entertainment by getting your fellow Hellraiser fans together for a movie marathon before Halloween. There is no better way to get into the mood and pick up on the best way to act the part than by watching the films that inspired the horror.
Many people choose to dress as their favorite musicians when celebrating Halloween. This can make them feel as they are famous, or are part of a popular group or band. For those that are fans of Slipknot, this is no 
exception. The large band has costumes and masks available that resemble several of the members. With so many people being part of this group, there are several options when choosing which person to resemble come Halloween night.
Some people may simply choose to purchase a Slipknot mask and wear it with clothing they already own. This is because the members of the band are more known for their masks than their clothing. Most outfits will need to consist of a black top and pants to coordinate with the look of the mask. A Slipknot emblem can be sewn or ironed onto the shirt to accent the costume. With so many band members, there are a number of different masks to choose from when dressing up as a person from Slipknot.
Others may choose to forego a mask and paint themselves to look like their favorite Slipknot musician. If done correctly, this can look more authentic as the masks sold will vary slightly from the actual look of the musician. Pairing the face paint with a Slipknot Halloween costume will allow you to completely fit the part of your favorite rock band. You need to be able to paint well, as cuts, stitches, and zippers are commonplace on the masks of the
Slipknot members.
As mentioned, Slipknot is a large band. There are nine members that you can choose from to dress up as. You may have a hard time finding some of the masks for certain members, but the more popular ones will have recreations on the market. Corey Taylor, the band’s lead singer, is possibly the most common member of Slipknot that is portrayed at Halloween. Putting your hair in dreadlocks while wearing a Corey mask will help to complete the look.
A group of friends could get together and have each wear a different Slipknot characters. With nine band members, a handful of people have several options on which person they wish to look like for the evening. To look like a true band, these people may carry instruments as props. Being Corey would call for a microphone. Mick and James costumes would need to be complemented by a guitar, while Shawn, also known as “Clown”, and Chris costume wearers could bring along drumsticks.
The famous heavy metal band, Slipknot, provides a number of Halloween costume options. The masks worn by the members of this band are quite scary to most people, making them perfect to be worn on the holiday associated with horror. Many friends who enjoy their music may get together and dress up as the band, especially if they will be attending the same party. If you simply wish to be groupie, you can get a brown Maggot (the term used for their loyal followers) that looks similar to what you would see a killer who escaped from an insane asylum wearing.

The question is: What are we going to be?
As we have been researching costumes for 2010 Halloween season, we have noticed that there are a lot of people that are considering group costumes and matching each other. Such as all being a Toy Story theme.
We look forward to seeing more.
It has taken a long time for the film version of the Green Hornet to make it to the screen but fans will be overjoyed to know that production is already in progress and the film adaptation of the Green Hornet will be hitting theaters soon. Unlike some other superhero franchises based on comics like X Men or Watchmen the story of the Green Hornet has taken decades to get to film even though there was a radio serial based on the Green Hornet and a TV show. The TV show, which was very popular in the 1960s, starred the venerable Bruce Lee as martial arts expert, the Green Hornet’s sidekick.
Comedic superhero Seth Rogan will be taking the role of newspaper publisher Britt Reid, who has a secret identity as the Green Hornet. The Green Hornet’s martial arts expert sidekick and valet Kato will be played by Jay Chou. The Green Hornet’s faithful assistant Lenore Case will be played by Cameron Diaz, although in the film adaptation Lenore will be more of a sleuth than an assistant although she never makes the connection that Reid is also the Green Hornet.
The Green Hornet is a superhero that is easily relatable to everyday people. Even though he is a descendent of the famous Lone Ranger he is not taken very seriously in either super hero or law enforcement circles and is friendlier with criminals than he should be. This causes some problems as he tries to use his powers to fight crime and makes the police suspicious of his activities so that more often than not he comes under as much suspicion as the criminals he’s trying to catch. The modern version of the Green Hornet promises to expand the story of Britt Reid and give viewers more insight into the character.
The first serious talk of making a Green Hornet movie was back in the early 1990s when George Clooney and Jason Lee were in talks to take on the primary roles. After that incarnation of the movie fell through it was rumored that Kevin Smith was writing a screenplay of the Green Hornet, but after years of speculation Kevin announced that he was not involved in the Green Hornet project in any way. Fans assumed the project would never make it to the big screen but in 2009 Sony Pictures announced that it was going to make and release the Green Hornet under the banner of one of its smaller movie imprints, Columbia.
Fans who have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the film version of the Green Hornet won’t have to wait much longer. Some fans are very skeptical about the casting of the film and wonder if Seth Rogan will really do justice to the Green Hornet character but Jay Chou, who was in such hits as Curse of the Golden Flower and Shaolin Soccer, should bring enough action to balance out Rogan’s humor and make the movie a good blend of drama, action and humor.
Furious battles between hundreds of starfighters against a backdrop of alien worlds, a society of mystical knights wielding energy swords and able to turn aside laser beams by invoking a mysterious Force, wisecracking robots, 
bizarre alien monsters, entire planets covered by cities or ice or festering swamp, weapons able to destroy whole worlds, an evil Empire ruled by a mad emperor wielding dark powers, who is brought down by a farm-boy who is secretly the son of the emperor’s most feared and trusted lieutenant — this is the action-filled panoply of Star Wars, one of the most popular science fiction film series on Earth.
The three original Star Wars movies — A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi — chronicle the desperate fight of a band of plucky rebels to overcome the galactic Empire, ruled over by Emperor Palpatine, which has oppressed the galaxy for decades. The cause of the rebellion is aided greatly when it is joined by Luke Skywalker, a young farm boy who has been trained in the mystical Jedi ways by a mysterious exile, Obi Wan Kenobi. Joining forces with a smuggler named Han Solo and his shaggy alien sidekick, Chewbacca, Luke takes on the Empire after he rescues Princess Leia Organa from Imperial captivity and sees his mentor, Obi Wan, killed by the Emperor’s black-armored lieutenant, Darth Vader, a menacing warrior who is equally deadly with a lightsaber and with the unseen energies of the Force.
As the films develop, Luke discovers that Leia is his sister, and that Darth Vader is his father. Darth Vader attempts to turn Luke to the dark side after defeating him and cutting off his hand in a lightsaber duel high on the catwalks of a floating metropolis called Cloud City. Luke resists the call of the Dark Side, however, and goes on to rescue his friend Han Solo from the clutches of Jabba the Hutt, a repulsive slug-like alien, and continues in his crusade to bring the Empire to an end.
Proving that a small stature doesn’t imply a stunted soul, the powerful mystic Yoda, a green alien living on a swamp world, trains Luke further in the powers of the force. After destroying the Death Star, a huge weapons system that can eradicate a planet with a single shot, Luke confronts the Emperor — only to be defeated by the powerful tyrant. However, Darth Vader cannot bear to see his son die, and kills the Emperor, although he himself is mortally wounded in the struggle. Thus, it is Darth Vader — or Anakin Skywalker, as he is actually named — who saves the rebellion and ushers in a new period of freedom in the galaxy.
The “prequel” movies — A Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith — are set twenty years before and trace Anakin Skywalker’s recruitment into the Jedi order and his fall to the Dark Side. Struggling between his dedication to the Jedi way and his love for a woman named Padme Amidala, Anakin helps the Jedi in their struggle against an unseen menace that is stirring up war in the galaxy. Aided by an army of genetically-engineered Clone Troopers, Yoda and Anakin kill the nefarious Count Dooku and several other villains in their quest to root out the evil. Check out the Cad Bane Costume pictured to the right.
Eventually, though, Anakin is turned to the Dark Side with the promise of power to save his wife from some unspecified doom, aiding the Emperor in destroying the Jedi and the galactic Republic. Hideously maimed in his battle with Obi Wan, the fallen Jedi is encased in high-tech armor to keep him alive, becoming Darth Vader. His infant children, Luke and Leia, and hidden on remote worlds to keep them safe — and keep the hope of eventual freedom alive.
Painted with epic strokes, vivid scenes, brilliantly memorable or brooding locations, and non-stop action, the Star Wars saga is a modern legend that brings swashbuckling color, heroes, and villains to a futuristic setting — the very stuff of adventure.
