Star Trek Movie Gag Reel

by Matthew on Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

The Star Trek gag reel is making its way around the Web. It’s so great to watch them having fun as they film this movie. I’m not surprised at all that funny man Simon Pegg makes everyone mess up their lines.

It’s possible that Youtube will remove this video – so watch it while you can! Then head on over to our Star Trek category and check out our awesome costumes!

The Hills are Alive with Music…and Costumes

by Sherene on Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Nun

Every holiday season I look forward to watching the Sound of Music and I find myself humming or singing along to the film’s soaring music. So I was most interested to discover recently that the Hollywood Bowl hosts an annual Sound of Music sing-along event.

The evening, traditionally a sell-out year after year, is a favorite for long-time devotees of the beloved family musical, which is subtitled so the whole audience can sing along, but also attracts fresh new audiences as well.

There is a pre-show costume parade, which is open to all audience members. Past costumes have included the Von Trapp children, brown paper packages tied up with string, a human gazebo (representing the one where Rolf and Liesl dance) as well as Marias and nuns in all shapes and sizes. Everyone receives a complimentary Fun Pak filled with interactive props to brandish at appropriate points in the film and the audience warms up their vocal cords during the pre-film activities.

Sounds fun, doesn’t it? If you need a unique group Halloween costume theme, take a look at some of this year’s fun and creative Sound of Music sing-along costumes (the nun costume above is my favorite!):

First 5 Minutes of The Princess and the Frog

by Matthew on Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Here’s an exciting sneak peek at the first 5 minutes of Disney’s upcoming The Princess and the Frog! Some of the scenes are still incomplete. It’s neat to watch the black and white drawings turn into colored animation.

Did you know that Costume Craze has the exclusive license to the Adult Princess Tiana costume? It’s not available from anyone else!

I’m glad Disney is still doing 2-D animation, this has the feel of an instant classic! The Princess and the Frog opens in theaters on December 11th, 2009, to princesses and frogs everywhere.

Real Magic Wand

by Sherene on Monday, October 5th, 2009

Now hear this…

It’s time for aspiring witches and wizards everywhere to impress friends and family with real magic.

The Kymera Magic Wand is a functional, universal remote in the clever guise of a spell-conjuring stick.

The Magic Wand cost’s about $83 and lets you control home electronics through the stick’s movements. Simply point it, perform the instructional gestures and voila…the lamp flips on, or the TV changes channels! A green LED on one end and a built-in accelerometer inside help the Kymera wand manage everything that a standard universal remote can do.

The device comes with 13 pre-defined gestures, including drawing circles in the air, each with its own function. It also includes an integrated practice mode. But wait, there’s more, my magical friends. It’s a learning remote, too.

So throw on your wizard costume and conjure up some new gestures to teach your wand…you’ll be performing various magical tricks with your household devices in no time. In fact, make it an activity at your next Harry Potter party and let your friends experience the magic of the wand too!

Meet the Kruegers

by Matthew on Monday, September 28th, 2009

Meet the Kruegers

Meet the Kruegers! My, what an adorable family. I wish they were my neighbors (yeah, in my dreams). You know, this actually looks like it could be a good movie.

Meet the FockersHehe, this is just a fun parody of Meet the Fockers. I was feeling a bit silly this afternoon, and when the idea came to me, I couldn’t resist.

What better way to show off our Nightmare on Elm Street costumes? We have Freddy Krueger costumes for kids and adults, including the fabulous Ms. Krueger costume as a sexy option for the ladies.


Did you know a remake of this movie is in the works? It will star Jackie Earle Haley, who played Rorschach in the movie Watchmen.

And sorry, no, it’s not called Meet the Kruegers. Check out the new teaser trailer below. It looks really scary!

 

A Nightmare on Elm Street Official Trailer

I think it’s interesting how the trailer strongly emphasizes Freddy Krueger’s origin story. Are we supposed to feel compassion for Freddy? Rather, I’m guessing they’re trying to show how the ugly side of humanity is responsible for creating such monsters in the first place. Doesn’t that sound intriguing?

The new Elmstreet is slated for an April, 2010 release date, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the studio bumps it to October. Why April? This is a perfect Halloween movie.

News of the Nightmare on Elmstreet remake has turned our Freddy Krueger costumes into top sellers this Halloween season. Now, don’t worry, we still have plenty in stock. But if you snooze too long, you might find yourself in a nightmare of your own, trying to find a Halloween costume at the last minute!

So why not dress your whole family up as Freddy Krueger for Halloween? After all, “The family that slays together, stays together.”
