Yea - it is almost Halloween again!!!!

For those of us adults that love our SciFi and Fantasy movies, there is no better time of year then Halloween.

Come on! When else can we (legitimately) get to put on the ears of Spock or Legolas, dress up like a Storm Trooper or Wookie, or don the robes of a sorcerer or the wings of a fairy. OK, there’s ComiCon and DragonCon, but the “norms” still look at us funny. On Halloween, everybody is dressing up and having fun!

A good friend of mine, Jeff McClure, is a magician by trade down here in the Atlanta area – so he really gets into dressing up. He also does consulting on costumes and building costumes (I’ll include a link to his business below for those of you that want to get in touch with him!)

Below are just a few of the costumes he has come up with over the years:

Here is Jeff as our favorite teen icon, Michael J. Fox, going through a seriously bad time of puberty from “Teen Wolf”. He is joined by his lovely "Partner in crime" (and girlfriend), Amanda Kroll as a sexy Starfleet officer from “Star Trek”.



Next, Jeff twists the seasons up a bit and brings on winter a few months early (which we thank him for down here in the Georgia heat!) as Jack Frost from ”The Santa Clause 3".
Notice the eyes. You can find contacts like these just by asking your eye doctor or going to Vision Direct.com

Finally we have Jeff and Amanda getting ready to do battle against the things that go bump in the night as "The Ghostbusters!" They will have a busy night of it on Halloween. If you look closely at all of the duo's various gear hanging off of them – Jeff put this together himself. Talk about being authentic! (And I don't know about you, but I don't remember any of the original ghostbusters being as sexy as Amanda - vavavoom!) In other words, put your own spin on things.

Halloween is a time to have fun and break out and be that person you’ve always wanted to be. This is your chance to play that superhero (or supervillain), to wear a sword or a light sabre, to wear the feathery wings of an angel or the leathery wings of a devil. Just get out there, use your imagination and HAVE FUN!!!

Thanks Jeff, Amanda, & Fox!
