Animals in Horror Films

Saturday, February 18th, 2012

Animals are often used in films especially horror films. The familiar scene of cat squeaking in the darkness has given Goosebumps to viewers umpteenth times. Many Animal films have been super hit at the box offices. Special training is given to animals so that they do as per required. Many a time animals suffer injuries and other health problems due to sustained training. Pet animals especially birds, cats and dogs are more prone to injuries than other animals. Domestic animals too may suffer from injuries. Horses are often used in periodic movies. They have to go through tough physical conditions when warlike scenes are being filmed. Bruises, scratches, wounds and other skin afflictions are common. Another problem that animals face is that they frequently have to be kept in animal pen or cages on the set that takes toil physically and mentally. Many times animals get irritated and display violent behavior resulting in injuries. If you are looking to get quick treatment and medicines for your animal, you can seek it from online pharmacy Petmeds.

Halloween Party Ideas

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

If you’re searching for Halloween party ideas, I have a few for you. I love Halloween, and we’ve hosted numerous Halloween parties. Some were for kids, some were for families, and some were for adults only. No matter which type of spooky party we had, we always included decorations, activities, entertainment, and great southern food. For the adult parties, there were mixed drinks, wine, and beer, too.

How scary do you want your party to be? It should definitely be age appropriate. Real horror and gore are fine when only adults will be in attendance, but you want to tone it down some for kids – especially for younger kids. With kids, “spooky” is better than real horror. For adults, however, the scarier the better!

Entertainment for your Halloween party might include magic acts, dance contests, pumpkin carving contests, live music, and/or hay rides. And don’t think a hay ride can’t be scary. At a couple of our Halloween parties, we included a “hay ride of horror.” The guests on the hay ride figured they were just taking a nice, relaxing ride, but we had a big surprise for them. We used a large livestock trailer for the ride. The trialer had tall slotted sides and was filled with hay. Near the end of the course of the ride, we planted a pal who was dressed in a Halloween costume. For the adult hay ride, the guy was dressed up as Jason from the Halloween movie, and he was weilding a “bloody” knife. He jumped up on the side of the trailer, climbed in, and proceeded to “attack” one of the guests. The attackee was in on the plot, and he was equipped with some fake blood. As Jason attacked and stabbed the guest, he “bled” everywhere, on cue. Of course, the two tricksters had practiced the scenario several times, so it looked very realistic.

 

How to make up a horror costume

Monday, February 13th, 2012

Horror costumes are usually worn to celebrate Halloween. The industry has grown over the last 20 or so years and some have taken it to a new level.  For those who prefer to make their own, start by taking  an old costume or piece of clothing, and follow these steps to make it look old.  Age your costume with paint that is one shade lighter than the fabric. Use an old paint brush and dip it in the paint and then paint it on a newspaper to remove any excess liquid. Now paint large streaks on the fabric.

You will achieve a better effect if your brush is almost but not quite dry.
To recreate a mold effect, make the whole costume, slightly damp and turn it inside out. Now dilute some white paint and paint it on the costume with an old paint brush. It has to be wet enough to penetrate through the fabric . Hang it up to dry. Wet a few patches on the costume with water and then dab on a dirty yellow color with a sponge to replicate mold.

Let it dry and then repeat the process. When you finally turn the costume the right way round, you should see a mottled blotch look.

If you like creating your own then you will find the above suggestions satisfying and good fun. You can, of course, experiment yourself with other colours and paints. If however you prefer to buy readymade costumes and save yourself  the  time, then a visit to www.officialpartydirectory.co.uk will show you the latest incarnations of costumes such as those worn by Johnny Depp in the pirate movies.
