Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds"

For the past few months I have been thinking about fall and Halloween.  I love this time of year!  For many years now I have wanted to have a Halloween costume party for kids and adults.  Even though it won't happen this year, I still like to think about what would make a great, unique costume.  I do not like the current style of horror movies, you know the leave nothing to the imagination slash and gore movies. Any one can just fill up the screen with all those typical horror movie effects, but not everyone can make a classic movie like Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds".  This great movie was filmed in 1963 and depicts the city of Bodega Bay, CA which has suddenly become the home of wildly strange acting black birds who are terrifying and attacking the citizens.  It features actress Tippi Hedren in the title role as a visitor to the city.  Her outfits and style is so wonderfully vintage. She wears classic 60's suits and is featured with black birds in her hair and specs of blood where the birds have attacked her.  A must see thriller if you have never seen it and a great Halloween costume!  Happy Halloween !

Vintage Boxed Halloween Costumes

I can remember every Halloween going to the 5 and 10 store and getting a boxed Halloween costume.
There were all just magical to me!  Each one had a mask and the outfit and sold in a colorful box with the mask showing through the clear window.  I would look and look and it was so hard to decide.  Does anyone else remember these?  I may be showing my age!  I wish my outfits today would each come in a box with everything matching for each day!!!  Hey, I might have just come up with an idea to pursue!  I know all us working moms would love to grap a box each day and never have to think about what to wear!
