What is a good Halloween idea?
It is my belief that every good Halloween party consists of 3 things: food, fun, and costumes.
FOOD: This is probably the most important part. Like any good holiday party, you're going to want to make/buy food that goes with the theme of the party, in this case, scary food. ehow.com has plenty of different recipes for making scary food like "brains" (meatloaf), etc. Also, since treats are SUPER important and you probably don't feel like baking all day, websites like clevercookie.com make awesome Halloween cookie baskets that look and taste great and will save you that trouble. For the adults, they're are also tons of spooky cocktails you can make for them.
FUN: Make sure that you decorate your house accordingly. If the theme of the party is scary, then make sure you go to wal-mart/wherever get some fake cobwebs, jackolanterns, you get the idea, and decorate your party space with that. Candles instead of lights really help too, especially at night; they add to the spooky atmosphere of the whole thing. Also, make sure to play traditional Halloween games like "bobbing for apples" and "eat the donuts of the string while blindfolded," especially if it's a kid's party.
COSTUMES: make sure you tell everyone that's it's a costume party so DRESS UP! This will give your guests an opportunity to be really creative, show off they ghoulish attire, and laugh and joke about what they and everyone else is wearing. Furthermore, you can incentivize them by having a "costume contest" and give a small prize out to the winner.
Hope this helped, and have a great party!

Why does Santa have a red suit?
He doesn't, it is an extremely long normal coat. He wears red because Coca-Cola advertised him on there signs and bottles wearing red. They did this because red dye was normally expensive to use but they did it anyway and it caught people's attention and it stuck. I guess Santa liked it so he decided to wear or something.

Can boys be princesses for Halloween?
Back to the Phantom Zone, Liberace! Keep Homosexuality out of Halloween, good Lord, do we have to intone- All molested children lend a hand! no way.
Well the first answer is not correct. Halloween is a good time to test new ways of life. And just because someone is dressing as a girl does not mean they are a homo. I for one love dressing up as a girl for Halloween and am not gay in any way. The fact is sometimes people are forced or dared to dress up a girl for that one night only.
i will have to go with the 2nd one because im not gay ind i like to dress up like a girl and it is realy fun i was a girl last year and im doing it again theis year.

What are costumes made out of?
This depends very much on the kind of costume you want to make!
The great thing about costumes is that they're vastly multi-media pieces of work. Almost all costumes involve fabric of some kind. But they can also use foam, wire, stuffing, plastics- anything from felt to metalworking. Just like art, there's no true "right" way to build a costume. (Although, some methods will be stronger and more comfortable than others!)
If you want to learn how to build something specific, forum websites and tutorials on youtube are both extremely valuable resources. Hope this helped!
Why do children wear costumes and trick or treat on Halloween?
There are a number of possible explanations as to why people wear costumes on Halloween.
- The practice could date back to the ancient practice of "mumming", which simply involved wearing costumes, singing, acting, and making mischief.
- A British custom arose from the 1600s, in which youths donned masks and carried effigies while they went begging for pennies on Guy Fawkes Night in early November.
- A more common modern theory is that, because Halloween occurs on the eve of All Saints' Day, the wearing of costumes was done to frighten away the evil spirits which were let loose to have their last fling before All Saints' Day.
- Possibly because it's the one night when they can dress up as anything and no one can tell them what do, wear and definitely not what to look like. They can dress up as whatever they want without anyone saying a word, because it's Halloween.
- Basically the reason is to attend a costume party. We do not do this on a regular basis.
The average price of a Halloween costume really depends on what type of costume you're thinking of and if it's for a child, man, or women.
Some costumes can be very expensive (even homemade costumes if they're elaborate). They can cost $100 or more. But, I'd say the average cost of a costume is around $30.
YES! They are awesome! I plan on getting one myself. Go to the website for Mertailor, Mermagica, or Emily Angelfish to order one. They can get expensive but its totally worth it! It is rumored that Wal-mart has them, but I did not find them on their website.

11 year old kids Halloween dressup ideas?
One of my friends dressed as a girl for halloween. It was hilarious!!!!!! He was 10 too. He had a blonde pig tail wigs with a pink skirt and a tank top with pink nail polish and tennis shoes. He rode his skateboard to each house. it was so funny! I have to say u should prob. wear shorts under that! hahaha
You might try and be a cheerleader. That way you can wear tennis shoes. If you choose high heels, your feet will be killing you by the time you walk out the front door. Or you can be a rich girl, and get a small stuffed dog and stick it in a purse, long blonde wig, small T and a mini skirt (Big sunglasses for effect). Good Luck!
If you're less daring, you can go as a witch - long black dress, and then it's just the hat and some green face paint.
Why did villagers dress up in costumes?
They dressed up in costumes from the time when Halloween was considered Samhain. The villagers used to dress up as the demons that were supposed to be able to escape on October 31. Supposedly if you dressed up as them, they would be scared off.
Where did the players of theatre get their costumes from?
If you are asking about how theaters operated in a specific time of history, you need to specify that in your question.
Small theater companies, local groups or clubs might have the cast members look for appropriate items based on the instructions and descriptions of the director. Most professional companies will have a costume department with at least a variety of costumes that can be used by cast. When you think about it, plays that were written for or that are produced in a contemporary milieu would not have to be extremely concerned about costumes. Period pieces may require more attention to costume detail because they are set in a past or future time, or may deal with dress that is particular to a specific location. People in a costume department will usually be skilled enough to make many costumes, and they will also be on the look-out for period articles that are sold in various shops.
I know you are asking about theater, but for a fascinating look at a very big costume operation, which would not be completely different from a large professional theater company, check out any of the special features dealing with costumes from the Lord Of The Rings DVD sets.
