PRWEB) July 29, 2006 --Now that the final firecracker has burst, reigning champion Kobiyashi has won his umpteenth Coney Island hotdog eating contest and the American League has whipped the Nationals for the 10th straight year, it’s time to look ahead to the next Great American Holiday, Halloween, and to this fall’s hottest costume designs.
As expected, Hollywood blockbuster movie tie-ins top the heated and exceedingly competitive costume sweepstakes with “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” “Cars” and “Superman Returns” the much anticipated frontrunners. Whether you gravitate toward mascara-adorned buccaneer Capt. Jack Sparrow or prefer his evil, tentacle-sprouting foe Davey Jones, an endless assortment of swashbuckling costumes, wigs and accoutrements have flooded the market this year.
Due to the speedy $200-million dollar success of Pixar’s recent kid-friendly tour-de-force “Cars,” many parents are likely to outfit their young racing enthusiasts in deluxe, three-dimensional “Lightning McQueen” and “Tow Mater” costumes. The “Mr. Incredible” costume from last year continues to show sizzling interest.
“Look, up in the sky. It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s Superman!” For aficionados of much revered DC comic book superheroes, the fastest and strongest of them all, Superman, exploded on the silver screen this summer after a lengthy absence with the critically-acclaimed “Superman Returns.” New and enhanced muscle-chest Superman apparel for kids and adults, Kryptonite crystal shards and bendable steel bars, pleasingly complimented by the universally popular Sexy Supergirl, Sexy Batgirl and Sexy Wonder Woman outfits are all sure-fire winners for those rapidly approaching Halloween parties.
Classic ‘60s & ‘70s television and cartoon series’ like “The Addams Family,” “The Munsters,” “Scooby Doo,” and “The Jetsons” are also anticipated to attract baby boomers and their families, and rabid fans of TV Land and the Cartoon Network reruns. A brand new line of licensed Betty Boop dresses with all the trimmings are also sure to turn heads.
The eerily endearing characters from “Nightmare Before Christmas” have a faithful cult following and the Jack Skellington and Sally costumes are proven favorites. The multitude of costume, mask and helmet choices from the globally-embraced “Star Wars” epics never fail to dissuade the Halloween costume buying public.
For all devotees of scary monsters, creepy ghouls and gore-splattered serial killers, the ever popular cast of horror film villains will never die, specifically mainstays Michael Myers (“Halloween”), Freddy Krueger (“Nightmare on Elm Street”), Jason Voorhees (“Friday the 13th”) and Leatherface (“Texas Chainsaw Massacre”) all boasting new and improved latex masks, and blood-curdling, never-before-released accessories. A Jason shot glass, Freddy chip bowl or Leatherface apron anyone?
