This year for Halloween if you want to be one of The Simpsons characters you certainly have plenty of options. There are Bart Simpson costumes, Homer costumes, even Snowball II costumes. But for a truly great costume consider Marge Simpson costumes.
There is a new catch phrase out there and it is “Furistas.” Lately we seem to be adding istas to just about everything. You have fashionistas and other istas out there to help distinguish females from the pack. This time the new “Furistas” catch phrase is all about furry costumes for young girls.
Many children have their favorite stuffed animal. They are pictured with it throughout childhood, adults can probably look back to find their favorite stuffed animal pictured in hundreds of photos. A recent costume company decided to launch a new idea regarding those cute and cuddly favorites.

It is hard to know what type of costume to pick, but normally you have an idea of your favorite look for Halloween or costume parties. This year you might find our top five Geeky Halloween Costumes to be perfect for what you are planning. These geek costumes come from a long line of various movies, television shows, and personas. Our list will save the best for last when it comes to the top costume.
The normal geek costume will get us started. For this look you will need a short sleeve white dress shirt, with pocket protector and pens. Makes sure to hike your plaid pants up high on your waist with a black belt to compliment the dress pants that are too short for you. Your white socks will need to stick out like a sore thumb before the eyes move on to the black dress shoes. For this nerd costume grab some taped up black glasses, and part your hair in the middle. Make sure to use enough hair grease to keep the look.

Hollywood, the Gaming Industry, and many others are constantly re-imagining what zombies will look like, what they can do, and basically just adding to our horror. Konami is releasing a new game for Playstation 3 and other game consoles called Zombie Apocalypse. From this new game you can certainly revamp your idea of a zombie costume.
In the game a zombie infection is spreading where untold numbers of the undead are rising to walk the earth. In fact the numbers of greater than the human popular left. A small band of gunslinger costumes may also be needed if you want to dress as one of the players because you, the gamer, will be working to destroy the zombies with your team. All remaining survivors, in this case four players, will be battling against the zombies in an effort to get out alive.
As evidenced by the trailer, you can count on lots of action and lots of explosions, particularly since Michael Bay (Transformers) is a producer. Plus, you get to see a pre-fricassee Freddy as Springfield’s least favorite son/child killer tries to outrun the angry vigilante mob of parents. It makes his post-burn transformation all the more startling.
The theme park is a massive undertaking and painstaking details and planning have gone into its production. Of course, Harry Potter’s creator, author J.K. Rowling has given the project her stamp of approval. This sprawling 20-acre park site attempts to recreate some of the Potter-verse’s most memorable locales. Shops and eateries like Olivander’s wand shoppe (where it has been confirmed that visitors can purchase their very own souvenir wands) and Honeyduke’s candy emporium are proposed, as are pub-style restaurants such as The Three Broomsticks which will serve butterbeer and traditional British pub fare to hungry visitors. A replica of Hogwarts Castle is also supposed to be on premises, as well as countless other favorite places from the series.

Oktoberfest is a German holiday traditionally held from late September to early October. The festival is sixteen days long with plenty of beer, food, and live entertainment. The largest festival in the world is held in Munich, Germany. You can expect chicken, roast pork, knuckle of pork, grilled fish, sausages, pretzels, potato or bread dumplings, cheese noodles, and potato pancakes to be on the menu at any Oktoberfest.
In the United States many cities and small towns host their own festivals in honor of the German heritage of the United States. The original Oktoberfest began in the 1800’s in honor of Prince Ludwig marrying Princess Therese of Saxe- Hildburghausen. A horse race was organized for the event with the marriage on October 12th 1810 and the race on October 17th. Eventually the festival became less about the marriage of two people and more of a celebration of culture.
