Halloween Spirit Biography
source (google com.pk)Gothic art is actually older than the holiday as we know it. Gothic literature, art and architecture began in the late 18th century. Dracula was written in the late 19th century. And it seems our love affair with the darkly romantic has never quite worn off since. Gothic vampires will forever be a staple of Halloween. The classic vampire look as sported by Bella Lugosi is still just as popular as ever. The vampire hunter is modern twist on the old vampire idea. Movies such as "Blade" and "Vampire Hunter D" show an image cultivated by the modern Gothic or goth subculture. The Gothic outfit is slightly modified. Black lace is exchanged for black leather but our vampires remain true to character. A loner, thinking himself a monster, beloved by women, hunted by men, and a threat to all…or could he just be misunderstood?
For the modern Gothic girl, being Dracula's victim just isn't enough. Gothic women can, of course, still choose to be the female counter part to several types of classically wicked leading men. Brides of Satan, devil dames, zombie princesses, sorceresses and vampirette costumes abound on Spirit. However, one of the great things about Gothica is that traditionally girly and light outfits can be reexamined and repurposed under this new Gothic vision. Thus, is born the dark fairy and the dark angel ensemble (also known as fallen angel). This new breed of ensemble gives a lot of freedom to the women who love wings, lace and glitter…but still think Halloween is supposed to be scary!
Gothic angel costumes encapsulate the concepts at the heart of Gothic clothing. A romantic theme of innocence lost, appears in the tattered wings and blackened halo and harkens back to British Gothic literature, which is heavily laden with religious imagery. The ruined ruffles and revealing skirts of the look add a taint of Lolita sexiness, a favorite of modern Gothic subculture as it evolved in Japan. Japanese Goths sport more complicated outfits in their daily lives than their European counterparts. The female fashion is called Elegant Gothic Lolita (or EGL) and for men, Elegant Gothic Aristocrat (EGA). Clothing designs are much closer to 18th century velvets and laces, than to the American goth style of latex, leather, and metal fashions. Culturally iconic outfits or not, it can be quite the conversation starter.Here's a hot tip: not all devils are named as you would think. Almost every manufacturer has their own version (or 12) of how an evil spirit should look! So, they can't possibly all be named the same way. When shopping for that perfect sexy devil outfit, look for alternative names. Red devil and hot sexy imp are obvious choices but also consider: satan, bride of satan, wicked temptress, demonia, demon sorceress or even tinkerhell. The same goes for little fiends, too. Men's Halloween costumes can be hunted down in similar fashion…but the vocabulary is just a bit different. Look for Satan, midnight princes and dark lords. You'll be surprised how many different styles of Sprite ensembles are out there! Whether you go for that classic Satan outfit or the new Devil costume you're bound to have a hell of a time! Now that you can see what a wide range of evil spirit outfits are available. How in the underworld will you choose just one?? Classic imp costumes come in bright fire colors. They are great for standing out in a crowd of black clothed Halloween revelers. While trick-or-treating, parents will love the fact that bright red is so easy to keep an eye on. Classic looks tend to be full length, a much warmer way to brave that crisp autumn air. But there are certainly benefits to dressing as a modern devil. For the ladies: mini skirts! If long flowing gowns weren't what you had in mind, then a modern look is just the thing. Expect to see tiny tattered minis and tight bodices, great if you planned on looking like hot stuff! For men, the modern male evil spirit outfits means black. Black cloaks with airbrush flames, black demon horns and even black pitchforks!Talking of accessories, there are certain must haves for the stylish devil. Horns and pitchfork. Without those smart little symbols of your station mortals won't recognize when its time to start quivering in fear for their souls. Luckily pitchforks come in short plastic models that are much easier to carry than your average farm equipment or Neptunian trident. For little imps you might try a pitchfork wand. It's cute, light and far less dangerous. Remember to be kind to the poor mortals out there, and although its fun to poke people with your pitchfork, be careful!The Halloween makeup and face painting kits that Spirit offers are great for building that character you've been thinking of. Whether you need cat make up or scary make up, there are kits to cover your needs.
We also carry a wide range of prosthetics and special fx makeup to look like slashes, bites, burns and wounds for any costume you are looking to bring to the next level. All it takes is a little glue (don't worry, it is all completely harmless and washes off) and some face make up.
Another great idea that we at Spirit have are family size pallets. If you are trying to get the whole family in paint, then a pallet like this is exactly what you need. It comes with a bevy of colors for all for your costuming needs.So this Halloween, when you are looking for a way to add that finishing touch to add a little flare to your zombie costume with a gaping gash, or make your Frankenstein have a few extra stitches, or give your dead person a gruesome wound, you need look no further than Spirit.One source for ideas is the internet. Search with phrases like "Halloween costume for baby boy" and see what pops up. Search engines are meant to find the best page for the phrase you put in and it doesn't need to make sense for them to find it.Another place to check is craft magazines. Some of these magazines have great suggestions in them like making old boy pirate garb into a renaissance look; or use a hand me down from years ago for your new toddler boy. A big boy ensemble this year is next year's outfit for a younger boy. These magazines also have great ideas for DIY opportunities out of things as simple as a sweat suit, some glue and felt. This is also where you can make a skeleton, such as a black jumpsuit with cut outs of bones. It makes a great skeleton and the materials can be found right around the house or at an arts and crafts store.The cheapest place to find great ideas is around the house. An old suit can be dress up material for a boy; some clothes with fringe sewn on the sleeves can make a great American Indian; an old leotard can be a dance costume, or if it is too chilly for that at the Halloween party, use it as a base and add a sweatshirt and some foil to make a space alien.All it takes, in the end, for that perfect boy pirate look or funny outfit is a little imagination and a little time. If you can't sew for your toddler boy, use glue to put it together. If you aren't sure just who shark boy or lava girl are, do a quick internet search for them. If the holiday party is tomorrow and he is still without a get-up, go to your closet and make your boy something.It all really comes down to what you are willing to build and what needs to be bought. You might not be able to make white face paint, but you certainly can make a skeleton's body. So think about the costume you want, and think of how you can make it yourself. If it seems improbably, go online and look. There are tons of notions out there, not to mention commercial pages, and it never hurts to keep your options open.
