2013 Top Halloween Costumes from Spirit Halloween
If you are looking to find what’s hot this year, look no further! The Top 10 Halloween Costumes for 2013 have been released and here they are:
- Superheros, like Batman, Superman, Spider Man and The Avengers (Iron Man)
- The Walking Dead
- Disney Junior characters from popular shows like Doc McStuffins, Sofia the First and Jake & the Never Land Pirates
- Cartoon Network: Adventure Time and Regular Show
- Monster High
- Disney Princesses including new characters like Brave’s Merida and classics like Cinderella
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- Day of the Dead
- Toy Story
- Pirates
Some of my favorites however were Duck Dynasty, Sons of Anarchy, and Minecraft. My son really wanted to be Minecraft something so he choose the Creeper. Unfortunately no one makes a child’s costume (how odd) so we got the Creeper box and modified it for a child. He’s thrilled so I guess we did good. There are also some really sexy options available too and I just had to photograph the bra with spikes. As I walked around the store I realized that a lot of the stuff I found would be great for different times throughout the year. The makeup selections would rock in the New Year and a lot of the outfits are prefect for themed parties.
Halloween Decor and Animatronics at Spirit Halloween
If you do any decorating at Halloween you don’t want to miss out on this experience. Spirit of Halloween stores are so much more than stores, they are an experience. The displays and the creativeness that goes into their decorations and animatronics are pretty amazing and really good quality. Unlike a lot of decorations these are built well and last year to year. I also found out that closer to the end of the season they sell all their displays so be sure to make your offers early for your favorite pieces because they go really quick.
Need fog? This year they not only sell the various types of foggers and the fog juice, but they have helpful signs hanging to help you decide what best fits your needs!
Spirit of Children
One of my favorite things about Spirit of Halloween is their Spirit of Children program. Every year I make sure to donate toward the cause because I think it’s really important.
At the heart of Spirit Halloween is Spirit of Children , a program which focuses on making hospitals less scary for kids and their families. For the 2013 Halloween season, Spirit of Children’s goal is to raise $5 million, bringing its total contribution to more than $16 million since its inception in 2006.
One of the hospitals in the Orlando area which will benefit from the funds raised is the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. To date, the Spirit of Children program has raised and donate more than $233,000 just for the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children.
There are a lot of great Halloween Costume Ideas to find the costume that I want to get this year. Spirit of Halloween has everything that I need for the big day. I want to go as a Ghoul and look all scary!!
I love buying the Halloween makeup to use year round whether for New Year’s or a super fun class-for-glitter kind of night. The spike bra is hilarious.
Whoops, I meant calls-for-glitter kind of night.
