Life Tips Daily

Well, this is it. Just another ten days or so and another wonderful installment of everyone’s favourite pan-american horror celebration will be in full swing. The stores are bustling with pumpkins and pumpkin-themed paraphernalia which is offset by an equally large concentration of crappy costumes.

I’m serious, you all know it’s true. I’m talking about those costumes you find at all the stores that basically consist of a thin, plastic pair of pants, a thin, plastic shirt and then a mask so cheap it makes paper plates look like aristocratic items.

This year, I’ve done some digging around the internet to give you some alternatives to the “Hobo Halloween of Horror”.

• http://vampfangs.com/shop/index.php This is an absolutely fantastic site with a grand variety of items to add to your costume. It focuses mainly on items geared towards vampire costumes, but besides the innovative fang system (not the mouthguard-wannabe variety), they also offer coloured and patterned contact lenses (with or without a prescription in tons of great designs), jewellery, make-up, and even prosthetics. Great content and reasonable prices make this a good stop for costume accesorizing.
• http://www.gotfog.com/ What’s the coolest part of Halloween? Fog machines! Well, maybe it’s the candy…in fact, I’m pretty sure it’s the candy, but fog machines are still pretty darn cool so make sure to drop by this webpage on during your shopping spree; it’s got everything you could ever want to know about them as well as a very convenient buying guide with product reviews and pretty pictures.
• http://anniescostumes.com/deluxe.htm Annie gives us a fantastic variety of good costumes on this page, all of them of professional quality. There’s some pretty creative stuff on this site and the prices are fair for the quality of the items.
• http://www.hauntedplanet.com/ Last one for costumes, this is another great one for top-quality costumes with the addition of a seperate and equally developed section focussing solely on masks. And they give you free presents every time you order! What can I say, I’m a sucker for freebies.

Well those are all the sites I’ve got for now. I’m always on the lookout though, so if anything else interesting comes up in my search I’ll post a link to it.
Anyway, with those links and some basic sense of style, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to put together a fantastic set-up for Halloween.

Good luck!
