Vampires

Vampires, Now this is one i'm sure people were waiting for me to bring up; Now lets not forget that the traditional Vampires are evil blood thirsty creatures of the night that feed on human blood to live, they can't walk in the light for they will burst into flames, crosses (if the handler has faith) will hurt a Vampire, holy water will burn them like acid, and yes they have sharp Fangs! Vampires are one of the most famous creatures of the night; but lately they've gotten a pretty bad reputation. The look upon Vampires has gone from one of the scariest monsters to something many people want to kiss. How is it that one of the worlds deadliest monsters have become one of the worlds dream fantasy?

The original Vampire started back with Vlad the Impaler, a man of royal blood, he wold impale his victims and put them on display around his castle so anyone who would dear to challenge him would know what they were getting into; and Vlad showed what the true Vampire was capable of.

In The Spiders Web

Spiders, an eight legged creature that can frighten people of all ages which makes them a perfect addition to a haunted house; but not just any fake spiders will do. Over the years, I've learned how'd to make some great some great giant Spiders with only a few trash bags; and all you really need are some trash bags, news papers, and some string or anything you can really tie with. First you stuff the trash bags with a new papers; and use the strings to tie your trash bags in two parts, to give the body to your spider. Now with about eight more trash bags do the same but to completely stuff the bags and tie them into three parts and tie them to the back of the body of the spider and this will give you the legs to your spider. This will give you a great giant spider prop for your decorations.

Now if you'd like to dress up as a Spider for Halloween than do i ever got a treat for you! Now all you need for this one are a few leg stockings, some cotton, and some string. First you stuff the leg stockings with the cotton fully and tie the ends with a really long peace of string; but don't cut the string you'll need the string to be attached because you'll be doing the same with two other stockings and tying them all with the same long string; and make sure to leave some space between each tied stocking, and repeat with three other stockings this will give you your eight legs. Now with the end not tied with the string, tie them or stitch them to your black shirt; and with the last peace of string tie it to your wrist and this gives the look of all your arms moving at once.

Where are the Wolfs?

Werewolf, Now i know this is one most people were waiting for me to bring up; because you cant have a Halloween without some kind of wolf in the party. Werewolf's have been around as long as the Vampires have, some say longer; But the truth in Werewolf's are vicious creatures that have no control over their actions when transformed, they might be really good people in their human form; but when the full moon rises the animal takes over and transforms them into the Werewolf. There are many different ways people betray the Werewolf in life, movies, books, and Halloween. Not a lot of people realize that there are so many different ways you can portray a Werewolf; and not all of them are right nor wrong, there are good wolfs and there are blood thirsty wolfs it just depends on which kind you like to be on Halloween.

For ideas on Werewolf outfits, as in you can't afford to buy one really good one because its pricey, all you need really is to go to the second hand store and find a fur cote. With the cote you can cut it apart and add it in patches under a torn shirt giving the effect of a transformation of a wolf. As for the face, you can buy some cheep make-up and just go wild and create your own wolf idea.

The Bloodier the Better

It always makes me happy to see how creative people get round Halloween; but what if anyone is like me than you must love to see realistic organs and blood on fake, or real, bodies. Yes, they do seal fake blood so don't think i'm talking about going out and buying real blood; but just using fake blood alone isnt enought to pull a great scare. Here's a helpful list of stuff to put the blood on for everyone reading this: use blody parts, animal parts, the hands of creatures, the teeth of creatures, and my favorite human organs. Now i'm sure your thinking something along the lines of how am i going to make fake organs? Here's another hint for you, now your going to need some clear trash bags, some news papers, some rubber-bands, and fake blood; now drench the news papers in the fake blood and and than place them in the clear plastic bag, than stretch out the bag and section it off with the rubber-bands, now rub some of the fake blood on the outside of the clear plastic bag; and this will give a slightly real effect of real organs if used and done right.

There are many different things you can do for this time of year; but it can only be done if you put your mind to it. I'd love to hear any ideas you guys have or if you don't know how to create your idea give it to me and i can try to help.

You look like you've seen a Ghost

How many times have you thought of Casper the friendly Ghost when you hear someone talk about seeing a Ghost? Honestly, when i think of a Ghost i think of poor souls lost and trapped in limbo, a realm between heaven and hell for those most unlucky to pass to ether side, and unknown to anyone they might try to come into contact with. Ghost are what we see of those who were intended to leave this world for a better (or worse) world; but when that soul has unfinished business or was to met an untimely end, meaning before the time they were intended to pass on, than that soul is unable to rest and is forced to remain stick in this world till the soul has found peace in itself.

Throughout the years, millions of people have clam to have seen spirits of random people, family members, pets, and out of this world beings. Even though all Ghost don't mean any harm to the living there are those few spirits that was not be lets just say a little bit playful with the living. Some Ghost tend to be envious of what the living have, life, and with us having what they desire some spirits will stop at nothing to gain what we posses.

Huntings are one of the most common sign that a Ghost has found something they desire, with it being a place or person doesn't matter; if a Ghost is able to find its subject of desire and is aloud can feed off the energy of a victim then the spirit is able to manifest to a greater strength. When this happens than it is time to do anything you can to get the spirit to move to the next life other wise they will make your life a living hell until they can consume your entity.

Why be you, when you can be a Ghoul?

Halloween is a time for difference, a time for the ugly to rise up and be the center of everyone's gaze of envy for once. This is really the only time out of the year where someone's creative mind can take form and come to life, Another worldly life come to life to walk the earth for one night of freedom. Halloween is time for creative master peaces; not some simple make-up to make you look flashy. anyone can put on some eyeliner and walk around; but it takes real artiest to be able to change their whole appearance and look absolutely out-of-this-world.

Zombies are one of the most common creatures to be created around that time of year, but some people just don't know how to make a realistic zombie rise from its slumber. Yes it is true that some people have a skill when it comes to makeup; but just putting some thought into your outfit can make all the difference. I don't mean to drench yourself in blood, but even just forgetting the makeup and getting a mask and working around that can give you one hell of a creative outfit.

Itches for something about Witches?

How is it that over the years the ideas of Withes have started to change? Witches use to be one of the most evil, heated and feared creatures of humans; but now a days, witches are something people love to mock and are one of the most popular monsters to think of during Halloween. Don't get me wrong i love the idea of creating a great scary Witch; but it's just fascinating how peoples thought of things, and or people, can change over the years.

But lets not forget that all who studied magic were not evil Witches. In fact, Whickins, were those who studied magic but for healing not for cursing. 

Some say Witches are ugly creatures that can hide their true self, with magic, making them look beautiful. Over all, Witches are not a creature you'd want to mess with; for they can turn you into another being or curse you with something much worse. This is magic is what makes Witches to be feared; but its not till Halloween time until we start really thinking about what Witches are well known for.
