Halloween News

Do you like to dress up? Oh come on; don’t act like you don’t enjoy it. The fact of the matter is that we all like stepping into someone else’s identity at times. This is where monster, alien, cartoon, old-fashioned, super hero and fancy dress costumes come into play. Which ones are your favorite? Do you love scaring small children as a creepy ghoul, or teasing the men as a seductive genie? Virtually anything you can imagine is feasible now days. That’s what I love about technology. So many more things are always becoming possible. After all, that vampire costume wouldn’t look so scary and real without the custom fangs. Where do you shop around for your favorite costumes?

Are you interested in fancy dress costumes for this October 31st, or are you looking for something a tad more terrifying? I must admit that typical fancy dress costumes are not my thing. I always prefer to go as a frightening creature of the night. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean a vampire. Last year I scared all the trick-or-treaters as a classic werewolf. Keep in mind; I’m not talking about one of those new-age cheese-ball costumes. I’m referring to something you would have seen in the 80s cinema. Try a massive beast of a lycanthrope from that flick “The Howling.” This is the werewolf costume of choice. Those tacky fancy dress costumes just don’t seem to scare the little ghosts and goblins as much. Although my wife had planned on wearing one of the more fancy dress costumes, which looked like it was from the 12th century, I finally encouraged her to go as a female vampiress. This costume was amazing once the make-up was on. Those realistic fangs and fake blood really top it off. I could tell the children loved it.

If you are in the market for fancy dress costumes, horrific masks, or medieval weapons for this soon-to-arrive Halloween night, then the place I would suggest above all is the World-Wide-Web. It’s a blast surfing for terrifying and gory costumes from the comfort of your own living room. It’s also simple to compare all costs and make sure that you’re not getting shafted. It’s time you got ready for this Halloween. Do it quickly, before all the good costumes are gone.

Batman Gadgets
Over the years, new Batman gadgets have been introduced and continually modified. They are always black and carry the Batman logo. Being a cultural icon makes Batman merchandise easy to market, and toyshops are full of action figures, vehicles and gadgets galore. The coolest gadget of all is probably the Batmobile, a shiny black car with huge tailfins, which can chase villains at great speed. Batman can also race through the sky above Gotham City, in the Batwing. There is also the Batboat and the Batcycle.

Superheroes need cool gadgets, and Batman is no exception. Batman gadgets have played a large part in telling the Batman story, in the original comic strips and then on television and in movies. Batman, unlike Superman or Spider-Man, has no super human powers and so needs all the help he can get. He probably uses the gadgets more than other comic book heroes use equipment.

Various Batman gadgets are kept in the Batman Utility Belt. Never to be seen without it, Batman can reach into its pouches and pull out the appropriate tool, such as his Batarang and Batrope. The Batarang is a handy boomerang style weapon, designed to be thrown at the bad guys and the Batrope is essential when Batman wants to scale tall buildings. The Batman gadgets would go through changes as the belt evolved over time.

In the early days of the DC comics, the Batman gadgets were supplemented with firearms from time to time, but these were phased out. The director Tim Burton brought their use back when he made the movie Batman in 1989. The Batmobile had an arsenal of grenades and machine guns, and the Batwing was equipped with cannons and missiles.

The darker, gothic tales told in the comic strips and the movies did not rely too much on Batman gadgets. However, the television series of the 1960’s was a much more lighthearted affair. The fun, not to say camp, approach of Batman on TV put a lot of emphasis on the Batman gadgets. Batman, and Robin too, had a lot of fun with them and the 1960’s decade was obsessed with new inventions and technology. The TV series tapped into the futuristic sensibilities of the age. Batman and Robin would retreat to their Bat Cave and work out riddles on the Bat Computer. They also had Bat Radar, Bat Cuffs, a Bat Camera and even Bat Spray for warding off sharks.

By and large, Batman uses the minimum violence needed to catch the villains.  His parents were killed with a gun, and he doesn’t feel comfortable with using guns himself. This attitude has spawned the inventive range of Batman gadgets that all the fans enjoy. They are fun for kids to play with, and driving a Batmobile is the ultimate fantasy of many adults. Would Batman be powerless without the Batman gadgets? No, but he wouldn’t be so much fun!

Once upon a time, on a dark and stormy night, there was a little boy strolling down a long creepy street. His hands jittered as he glanced randomly in all directions. He could hardly stop his teeth from chattering as his wide eyes peered up at the decrepit old house that loomed before him. Oh this young man was in for a fright and no one on this earth could save him now. So he edged his way up to the front stoop of the eerie home. Suddenly the door swung open with a loud squeal.

The boy screamed; TRICK OR TREAT! A benign face poked out from the doorway and tossed a handful of candy into the boy’s bucket. Ah ha, and you thought it was going to be Freddy or Michael Myers. No, not by a long shot. Heck, I was just setting the scene. Halloween night is drawing close and we all have to get into the spooky mood. That goes for all you adults out there as well.
