Halloween Costumes

August 30th, 2010

Voodoo Halloween

Voodoo Halloween over by South Broadway Wal-Mart

About a month before Halloween you will see a couple different Halloween costume stores open up in Tyler.

One of these costume stores will be quite a bit cheaper than the other one. I recommend doing a little price comparison before settling on a costume to save a bundle.

I also noticed that there are quite a few Halloween costumes over by Super 1 Foods in the Dollar General Card and Party store.

The two Halloween stores show up at different spots each year based on what large square footage area is available for rent.

Last year the old Linens and Things building by Ross was used for one of these Halloween stores. What you see a lot of in both stores are the bedroom costumes.

What I mean by bedroom costumes are the catholic school girl outfits, the skimpy nurse, the mens extra short shorts UPS worker outfit, and the list goes on and on.

It can be pretty funny during the Halloween holiday as you see the teeny boppers walking around town in these bedroom outfits.

These kids “try to hard parents buy these costumes” for their kids sometimes so just maybe they will be seen as the “cool parent”. It’s amazing what parents will do to be accepted by their children these days.

This year rather than buying a bedroom costume for your already confused teenager I recommend giving them some face paint and have them decorate some of their old clothes.

If you want to buy a Halloween mask in Tyler Texas I recommend buying it online rather than purchasing in the store as it may come with some little kid boogers.

The first one of these Halloween costume stores in Tyler we have seen just popped up over by South Broadway Wal-Mart and it is called Voodoo Halloween. Go by and check it out.

Tyler TX Halloween stores typically open around Labor Day. (also Labour Day in Canada), but this varies by a week or two in either direction…4 September 2010

Halloween is Soon Around the Corner

August 24th, 2010

Halloween in Tyler Texas is funny simply because it has changed a lot in the last 20 years. I remember it was much more of the traditional American family holiday but it is now a bit of a nuisance for many neighborhoods and is enough fun for many to just go to your local church.

We usually pop in to our church o a church nearby and play some “Fall Festival” games and grab some candy and go. This is the tradition for many in Tyler Texas which is far different than when I used to walk my neighborhood gong “trick or treat”.

Now when you walk around a neighborhood hardly anybody has candy out or opens their door. It is a bit sad when I think about the happy memories walking around doing the traditional trick or treat thing in my neighborhood.

A few years ago we went with my brother n law on an idea to go try trick r treatin in Holly Tree. This was really funny because we ended up in a big traffic jam as everyone else had this same idea.

I also noticed there were large large mobs of people walking on the streets in Holly Tree and almost all the houses had their lights off and doors securely locked. No one was answering their doors to give out candy and a majority of the people on the street did not have any kids with them.

Holly Tree was covered in obnoxious teenegers either in an emo wolf pack or wearing the catholic school girl outfits and sexy tight shirt and short skirt sex costumes usually reserved for the bedroom.

So now when you go trick or treating in your neighborhood you might just see a bunch of teenagers wearing bedroom costumes walking around like everything is normal.

Last year I remember seeing these girls walking around in these costumes during broad daylight and I nearly sprayed milk out of my nostrils from the hilarity of it all.

So if you are going to do Trick or treating try a trailer park instead of Holly Tree and stop by a local church. You will have much better luck.
