12-inch Deluxe Alien Action Figure
Here is the fearsome Xenomorph in all its horrible glory. McFarlane Toys has devoted another series of Movie Maniacs to Alien vs. Predator. This is the first 12-inch scale Alien deluxe action figure from McFarlane. Ellen Ripley and friends fought hard to keep this creature off their ship. Now you can own it for your home! And don’t forget to check out Socreepy’s summary of one of my favorite horror movies - you guessed it, ALIEN!!

Frightening Fact:
The Alien’s life cycle, which involves laying eggs in the stomach (from which the hatchling alien will later burst out) was inspired by the spider wasp, which lays its eggs in the abdomen of spiders. This image gave the screenplay writer such nightmares that he included the concept in Alien.

Do-It-Yourself Grandpa Munster Halloween Costume

Grandpa Munster is so popular he even tried to run for public office! We don’t know about his politics, but a Grandpa Munster Halloween costume has definitely got our vote!

Items you will need:

Black hair with gray highlights on the sides
Green face makeup or body paint
Gray face makeup
A black cape
A white button-down shirt
Black trousers
Red ribbon with gold medal
White vest
Black socks
Black shoes
Black gloves
Vampire teeth
Pointy ears
Props: A beaker with mystery liquid (preferably green)

Grandpa Munster always has a magic potion or spell up his sleeve! You can make Halloween fun up your sleeve in just a few easy steps. First of all, dress to the nines. Grandpa Munster always looked very dapper in dark trousers and a white button-down shirt with a white vest, his gold medal hanging around his neck by a wide red ribbon and, of course, his long, flowing black cape with the collar turned up. Grandpa always wore black leather gloves, but you will still need to paint your face and pointy ears green. If you have dark hair, slick it back and add gray coloring to the sides. If not, you can achieve the same look with a wig. Use the gray makeup to add gray to your sideburns. Also, use it to make your eyebrows big, gray and bushy. For added effect, carry a beaker with some mysterious green liquid inside. Welcome home, Grandpa Munster. We love The Munsters!

Do-It-Yourself Gomez Addams Halloween Costume

He’s ooky and he’s spooky. He’s also incredibly stylish. That’s why Gomez Addams remains one of our favorite characters. As a Halloween costume idea, Gomez Addams is simple.

Items you will need:

A dark suit (preferably pin-striped)
Dark moustache
Cigar
Fake money
Hand
Sword (optional)

The key to Gomez Addams is style. He always wore the dashing dark suit — usually pinstriped. He had the look of the continental with that dark moustache and the ever-present cigar. Slick your hair back and, if necessary, add something to darken it so that it matches the dark moustache. Of course, no Gomez would be complete without the lovely and deadly Morticia by his side. If you must do without Morticia (buck up, soldier!) we recommend carrying lots of fake money (Gomez is wealthy and he loves to flaunt that) and a hand that can serve as Thing, the Addams Family’s loyal friend.
