Bane Costume

Bane was one of Batman’s most formidable opponents.  Made popular by Tom Hardy in The Dark Knight Rises movie, the Bane costume is a natural choice for Halloween.

Bane CostumeThe Story Behind The Mask

Born and raised in a Middle Eastern prison, Bane regarded the place as his home.  Here he learned the truth about despair.  With no over to protect him, Bane developed extraordinary skills in order to survive prison life.  He was an avid learner and read as many books as he can.  Sympathetic inmates with specialized skills acted as his mentors. All this training during his incarceration transformed him into a merciless killer.  His only friend during this prolonged ordeal was a teddy bear named Osito. It was thought that Bane concealed a knife in the doll’s head.

At one point after a selfless act where he helped an inmate escape, the other inmates took revenge on him and mutilated his face.  The mask that he chose to wear to hide his ghastly mutilations was a constant reminder of the pain and agony he endured everyday.

Bane attained his superpowers after a failed experiment that exposed him to poisonous venom.

For a huge dose of intimidation, even for Batman, dress up as Bane this Halloween.

Poison Ivy Costume

A very popular character to dress up for Halloween is Urma Thurman‘s character in the Batman and Robin movie, Poison Ivy.   She was Batman’s nemesis but she didn’t start off bad.

sexy-poison-ivy-costumeThe Story Behind The Mask

Her original persona as Pamela Isley was good.  As a scientist studying plants, Isley’s research centered around venom and how plants may be able to use it for defense.  Her life revolved around her work and it showed in her physical appearance.  Isley was unattractive and lonely. When she discovered her employer, Dr. Woodrue, was using her research for evil, he tries to kill her with animal plant toxins.

After being left for dead, the poisons and toxins transform her into a beautiful red-headed vixen, Poison Ivy.  Seeking revenge, she finds her would-be killer and kills him with a poisonous kiss.

Having been liberated from her former boring life, Poison Ivy makes her way to Gotham City where she encounters Bruce Wayne.  It is here where her adventures begin and conflict erupts between her and Batman.

Here is a great Halloween recipe for making bloody eyeballs.

For more great Halloween ideas, go to HalloweenPartyDecorationsOnline.com

To make 30 eyeballs, use this recipe:

  • 14 ounces (400 grams) of white chocolate
  • 1&1/4 cup (300 grams) of ricotta cheese
  • 3&1/2 ounces (100 grams) of plain biscuits

For decorating:

  • 30 chocolate candies
  • 2 ounces (60 grams) of dark chocolate
  • 1 egg white
  • red food coloring
  • 1&1/4 cups (150 grams) of powdered sugar

Other materials:

  • cookie sheet lined with a sheet of parchment paper

Break up biscuits in a food processor.  Melt less than 2 ounces of white chocolate and blend it in with the cottage cheese.  Make sure to stir well.  Fold in the biscuit crumbs then blend together.  It should have the consistency of mashed potatoes.  Using a teaspoon, take some of the dough and shape it into a small ball by rolling them in between your hands.  Flatten one side slightly to look like a real eyeball.  Place on the parchment paper.  Once all the balls are made and placed on the parchment paper, place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes.

To prepare the red icing, beat the egg white with a blender until stiff.  Add the sifted powdered sugar first then the red food coloring.  Make sure to melt the red food coloring in a little hot water first.

Melt the remaining white chocolate in the microwave and coat the frozen eyeballs.  Place the coated eyeball on another sheet of parchment and place a chocolate candy on top to make the iris.  Repeat for all the other eyeballs.

Melt the dark chocolate and place in an icing bag.  Decorate the top of the iris on the eyeballs to make the pupil.  Place the red icing mixture and use it to draw the veins of the eyeballs.

Lazy But Trendy Costume Ideas

 How To Dress Trendy For Halloween Without Effort

Want to dress trendy for Halloween but don’t feel like making the effort?

Here are a few ideas worth considering:

  • Father of America – with just some black construction paper for a stovepipe hat, a fake beard and some black eyeliner, you can dress up like Abraham Lincoln, the vampire slayer.  An axe will add to the authenticity of costume.
  • James Bond – any tuxedo and a chic black bow tie will do.  Don’t forget about the suave gait and the inquisitive eyebrows to round off the impression.

  • Heart Breakers – if you can talk a few friends into doing this, then some summer bikinis and short-shorts will help pull this off from Spring Breakers.  Just hope it’s not a chilly October.
  • Video Game Hero – Wreck-It Ralph inspired this outfit.  Wearing a blue baseball cap, oxford shirt, jeans and gold hammer will be the norm for Fix-It Felix.  The Ralph outfit only requires you to wear an orange T-shirt and a painter’s overall with one strap hanging down.
  • Manic Pixie Dreamgirl – for the New Girl Jess look, all you need is a floral sundress, brown eyeliner, heavy mascara and bangs.  Make sure to tease your hair into a big mess.
  • Football-Obsessed Player – with two-day stubble, baggy grey sweatpants and matching hoodie covered up in a black garbage bag suit, you too can look like Brad Cooper’s character in the movie, Silver Lining Playbook.  Take off the bag and voila….you’re Rocky.

Nude Haunted House Attraction

Pennsylvania Nixes Nude Haunted House

Plans for a specially chilly haunted house event was thwarted when officials learned of the naked truth.  The “Adults Only” event was to be part of the Shocktoberfest festivities located just outside of Reading.  Shocktoberfest has grown to be one of Pennsylvania’s largest Halloween attraction, having launched about twenty years ago.

The nude haunted house attraction was inspired by Naked and Afraid, a popular television show on the Discovery Channel.  It was hoped that the nudity would heighten the sense of fear and vulnerability during the haunted house experience.  Instead, guests will be allowed to disrobe only down to their underwear.

The owner, Pat Konopelski, hopes to be able to go all-nude in the 2014 event.
