Halloween is just a little over two months away, and now is the time to start getting ready if you haven’t already. Recently we came across a list of 2009’s Funniest Adult Halloween Costumes. Each one of those costumes was innovative. They were also some of the most fun costumes you might see this year during Halloween. It’s not just about the pretty face or sexiest costume some of these great costumes on the list were also the goriest ones that could be found. We decided to create our own list of top costumes some will be from this list we found, while others are from our own polls.

This week’s top costume is Michael Jackson. Everyone is remembering the King of Pop. With the “Beat it Jacket,” and Michael Jackson’s Thriller costume it’s not hard to see why Michael Jackson is the top costume.

Folks both magical and muggle alike are excited for July 15th, 2009 when the sixth (and most pivotal installment to date) of the Harry Potter saga arrives in theatres. Already, tickets have been sold out in advance for midnight showings of the eagerly awaited film on its release date. Anticipate a horde of costumed movie-goers to line the building in a queue during the witching hour of the 15th!

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince showcases J.K. Rowling’s “Potterverse” translated from her novels to the big screen during rather dark times. With Lord Voldemort risen again and gathered his Death Eaters, not to mention the increasingly dark turn of the Ministry of Magic, the students of Hogwarts School of Wizarding find themselves placed in increasingly dangerous situations. Harry Potter, himself, has been affected thanks to the death of his beloved godfather and protector, Sirius Black, at the hands of Black’s own cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange. Factor in that Harry’s kindly mentor, Hogwart’s headmaster, Albus Dumbledore has shown up with a peculiarly blackened and withered hand and isn’t quite his normally cheery self, and these are dark times indeed for Harry and his friends.

Paul Sevilla is a collector of hot wheels cars. Who at one time or another hasn’t been? Hot Wheels came to the world in 1968. The concept was a simple one. The company designed toys patterned after the real cars. There are over 15 million boys and girls between 5 and 15 who collect Hot Wheels. They are still the number one selling toy in the USA. Paul Sevilla is a little different than the rest of the collectors in the US though. He met a woman named Rose Curtis whose husband was an avid collector of the toys.

She told the media that it didn’t matter where they were traveling he would stop in the local shops to find a Hot Wheels car, truck, or vehicle he didn’t have. Unfortunately Jim Curtis died of pancreatic cancer a few years ago. At the time of his death the Hot Wheels collection was more than 3,000 strong. All of the toys were still in the package. Sevilla was trying to help Rose Curtis sell them, but with the current economy it has become very difficult.
