Halloween masks - fun, funky, ghoulish or just plain scary
The evenings are drawing in, the heat is going out of the sun, and the witches and spooks and things that go bump in the night are getting ready for Halloween on October 31st. It’s a time to dress up, get together with friends, be different, and enjoy looking scary. Whatever your costume, improvised from old sheets or an all out gruesome professional outfit, a mask can add that final bit of mystery and intrigue.
Masks have been used for centuries around the world in traditional ceremonies and regional folk celebrations. In some cultures, masks were worn to provide the illusion of magic, or as a symbol of status or power during rituals. Here in our northern climes, masks were often worn at celebrations where noise and colour were believed to drive away the forces of darkness and winter.
What better then than to include a mask as part of your Halloween costume, and ward off all those other revellers.
Of course wearing a mask provides a bit of anonymity and the grand masked balls of the middle ages, provided spice and interest at court, and allowed otherwise respectable lords and ladies to flirt (and more!) anonymously in their disguises - and if it worked for lords and ladies, why not for today's Halloween goers?
Sourcing the perfect mask to go with your Halloween costume couldn't be easier. On line or from our shop, Hollywood, Bournemouth’s leading fancy dress supplier, carries a vast stock and the problem is more likely to be which to choose than being stuck for an idea. Simple to elegant, fun to fiendish, Hollywood has a mask for every Halloween outfit and to suit every pocket.
Children take a perverse pleasure in frightening themselves in a safe way. This year, children’s Halloween ogre face masks are again proving popular. Spooky masks including freaky fairies, dastardly demons and ugly witches continue to thrill.
Adults can choose to look like their favourite TV or movie star with a Halloween celebrity mask, or play out their worst nightmares from a wide selection of truly gruesome horror masks. For those who want to surprise and shock their friends at the Halloween party, there are super scary masks for serial killers, weird aliens, or terrifying clowns.
And for the ultimate in horror, The new Ghoulish range of professional quality Halloween masks lives up to its name with a host of frightening disguises. Serious party goers can add those vital accessories of lifelike scars, devil’s horns, zombie flesh hands, and flesh-creeping mummies.
So don't forget that vital final touch to your costume this year. Whether you buy or hire, put on your Halloween mask - fun, funky or simply horrible - join your friends and begin the masquerade.
View here the excellent range of Ghoulish Horror Scary Masks for this Halloween
Halloween party and costume ideas
Halloween provides the perfect opportunity for a really fun party. Dressing up is almost a must and a really good Halloween shindy means a bit of excitement and glamour at the grim start of winter. So whether you have an informal gathering, or a themed party, it’s a good idea to plan ahead.
It only takes a little inspiration and a bit of effort to make your Halloween gathering as funny or as frightening as you like. You can hire or buy everything to make yourself the ghoul of the ball from Hollywood, from our Bournemouth shops or on line. We carry one of the largest stocks of costumes anywhere in the UK so whatever you choose for your theme, we are sure to be able to help.
Watch the latest movies and DVDs for inspiration and ideas - TV characters are also a popular choice. Even the littlest ones love an opportunity for face painting and dressing up, although you may have to find a matching outfit for Teddy, or the dog!
When choosing your theme, take account of your guests, their ages and tastes. Admittedly, not everyone wants to go to a witches’ coven, or a Mummy meet, but pirate parties allow a lot of scope, while vampires, ghosts, ghouls and demons from popular TV series can provide Halloween ideas that are as dramatic and gruesome as you like. If you are feeling sophisticated, go for a Venetian Ball look- the girls especially love these.
Don't forget your Halloween accessories. Capes, a fiendish mask, wounds and zombie hands add that little extra to every costume. Whether you attend the party as Wonderwoman, Superman, Morticia Addams, or the tooth fairy, accessories complete the look. Hollywood’s helpful party team scour the world for ideas and inspiration, ready to advise you on making the most of your party.
So you’ve planned your outfit, sent the invitations, and planted a couple of fake gravestones in your front garden for good effect. Don’t forget to reinforce the atmosphere through your food and drinks as well, with black or red coloured icing and grisly names- a good idea is to label each plate with as horrific a name as you can imagine.
Table decorations and banners help create the right atmosphere. You may just need a few bags of bones or hanging bats to decorate your Halloween party, or some creepy spiders to add a frisson of excitement. Add fake blood, grisly scars and gruesome body parts to your fancy dress costume, or go for serious glamour with coloured eyelashes and glow-in-the-dark lipstick.
So whatever you do this Halloween, with a little forethought and a few good Halloween ideas, you can be sure your party will be awesome!
Hundreds of Horrible Halloween Costumes
Whether you’re planning on a spine-tingling Halloween party, or just trick or treating with the children in your street, the right costumes make all the difference. But don't forget the Halloween accessories, wigs, capes, teeth and horns to complete the look.
Children’s Halloween costumes include witches and wizards of all sorts, skeletons and vampires. It seems that children have always loved dressing up in fancy dress, and becoming someone else. Mummy’s boys can wrap up in a Mummy outfit, while the girls can glam up as a sparkling fairy. Tinies never like to be left out of the fun, and there are outfits perfect for transforming them into scary spiders, or little monsters, while the more heroic can save the world as Angels or Superman.
Many Halloween party hosts are inspired by characters from the music scene, TV and the movies, and there are fancy dress costumes for all ages and tastes. If the man in your life spends hours practising his air guitar, or your little girl knows all the dance moves from her favourite band, you can make them both happy with the right costumes.
Depending on the theme of your party host, adult Halloween outfits range from the fun and frivolous to the seriously scary. This could be your opportunity to pile on the gruesome, as a ghost, ghoul, skeleton or demon. Out and out horror costumes range from gothic vampires and phantoms to sexy sirens and winsome witches, from baroque to burlesque. If you are going together, and want to make the most of your evening, couples’ fancy dress outfits include King and Queen of Hearts, zombie headmaster and zombie schoolgirl, or bride of Frankenstein and Frankenstein - let your imagination run free.
For others, however, it has to be glamour. There are beautiful fancy dress costumes from history, you can go retro to the fashions of the 20s, 40s and 50s, or practise singing “Happy birthday Mr President”, as Marilyn Monroe. Accessorise with false eyelashes in a rainbow of colours, add glamour wigs, sparkling tiaras or a fun feather boa. Remember, with Halloween costumes, there is no such thing as “too much”!
