Grandin Road: Men's and Women's Spirited Pirate Costumes

First to recommend

Description

Some people just have an incredible knack for making unbelievably creative and hysterically punny costumes. Not me. But I still love dressing up. And this year I have a hankering to get a real costume. Nothing plastic or dredged up from the bottom of my closet. This is a great start to my search. Could be the pirate's life for me . . .

Practical Magic: Sandra Bullock,Nicole Kidman,Stockard Channing,Dianne Wiest,Goran Visnjic,Aidan Quinn,Evan Rachel Wood,Alexandr

2 people recommended this item

Description

Perhaps it is because I have been to the Salem Witch Museum, or because I love magic, or I love pretty much every movie Sandra Bullock has ever made. But, whatever the reason, I will never tire of watching this movie . . . and delighting in the triumph of good over evil, knowledge over prejudice. (And it doesn't hurt that Halloween is involved, either.)

Sleepy Hollow (1999)

2 people recommended this item

Description

Having grown up not too far from Sleepy Hollow, I was more than familiar with the legend when I first watched this film. But director Tim Burton takes it another step creepier, making it all the more engrossing and intriguing. And, of course, Johnny Depp is the perfect Ichabod Crane, entranced by Christina Ricci's otherwordly countenance.

The Sixth Sense (1999)

7 people recommended this item

Description

Listen to me and listen to me good .. ghost/ dead people are scary. This is one of the coolest movies I have ever seen. If you haven't seen it yet, rent it. If anything to see that kid being all creepy and cute, or to see a young Mischa Barton, or for the famous twist.

Viridian Spirits: Lucid Absinthe Superieure

First to recommend

Description

Banned since the Prohibition period, absinthe is again available for mixing cocktails. "Lucid" is produced in the Loire Valley of France and the bottle's design was inspired by a Parisian cabaret, "Le Chat Noir." The bottle itself and all of the myths surrounding the consumption of absinthe make this an excellent choice for Halloween bashes and after hours events.

Bob Timberlake: Madame Druscilla by Joe Spencer

First to recommend

Description

Queen of Halloween, Druscilla may not be pretty in the conventional sense but she is definitely dressed for the occasion . . . and just menacing enough to be an excellent spook.

Description

A bottle this menacing is the perfect hostess gift for a BYOB costume party. And if you are throwing a no-holds-barred bash, you may want to stock up on a whole case to treat your guests to a uniquely American concoction.

Amazon: "Halloween: by Jerry Seinfeld, illustrated by James Bennett

First to recommend

Description

Jerry Seinfeld explains exactly why he thinks Halloween is the best game in town in his own unique, me-me-me perspective. Great fun for everyone who was or has kids. The CD of Seinfeld performing the book as a stand-up routine makes this treat extra sarcastically special.
