How to Sound Like Chewbacca

by Matthew on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Want to learn how to sound like Chewbacca? This girl opens wide and shows us how to make the classic Wookiee sound. Awesome!

Did you know that in the movies, Chewbacca’s voice is a mixture of walrus, camel, tiger, bear and badger sounds? That’s crazy, but don’t give up hope – you, too, can learn to sound like everyone’s favorite Wookiee.

The girl in this video does a great job. The only thing she’s missing is a Chewbacca costume!

Costume Craze has your Chewbacca costumes, for babies, kids and grownups! For your next party or fan convention, why not pick up a Chewbacca costume and impress your friends with your fine Wookiee impersonation?

GAAAAH!

Vikings in the Office

by Matthew on Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Break.com made a funny video about a group of Vikings who take over an office on Leif Erikson day. Pretty crazy, but at least work wouldn’t be boring! Everyone loves Vikings – they’re bawdy, boisterous and aggressive. Plus they have cool costumes.

Our Viking costumes have been flying off the shelves and are quite popular this year. We have a large selection of Viking costumes and accessories for men and women. Be prepared to see these Norse warriors this Halloween, exploring your neighborhood and pillaging candy!

Dress Up Your Pumpkin with Costume Accessories

by Sherene on Monday, October 19th, 2009

pumpkinsincostume

What’s Halloween without a jack-o-lantern or two? I tell ya, though, the jack-o-lanterns of my childhood aren’t quite so fancy as what you find these days. Take a look at some of the creative pumpkin carving from Martha Stuart’s site:

creepycatpumpkinHarrypotterpumpkin

Pretty cool, huh? Keep in mind, though, that you don’t always have to carve a pumpkin to make a fantastic looking jack-o-lantern. Instead of scooping out messy pumpkin guts, pull out your paint, markers, craft foam and costume accessories to dress up your pumpkin!

tophatpumpkin

Turn your jack-o-lantern into piratical perfection (see picture at top) with a pirate hat and eye patch or paint your pumpkin green, use a black marker to draw a face, attach a green foam nose and top it with a witch’s hat.

With a little creativity, some craft supplies and costume accessories, your jack o’ lanterns will go from pumpkin bore to haut couture!

Of course, if you’d prefer to be a pumpkin rather than carve one, skip the pumpkin patch altogether and check out our fun pumpkin costumes and accessories!
