The Great Move-a-Palooza

Brick Layer Costume

Greetings to those of you out in meatspace, it’s been a busy week here at HalloweenStreet and at B.U.N.N.Y. labs (recombining your DNA since 1996!). The big news is that HalloweenStreet is moving into a bigger warehouse. The downside of this is that we can’t ship anything until the move is complete, which is February 12th. But the great news is that we now have a lot more room for stock, which means even more Halloween costumes.

As part of the expansion we’re pleased to announce that we’re adding to our line of teen costumes and kids costumes. The little kneebiters should be thrilled once they get a look at some of the things we’re going to be offering in the coming months.

And even though we can’t start shipping again until February 12th, remember that Valentine’s Day is coming up, and for the more adventuresome types, HalloweenStreet.com has plenty of sexy costumes to add a little something special all year round.

We also have romantic costumes for those who need to apologize for anything that goes wrong during the holiday of love. This could include: a) forgetting the holiday, b) having too much alcohol at dinner and throwing up in your sweetheart’s lap, or c) making beeping noises when your sweetheart is backing up. I recommend you choose d) none of the above. But just in case, slipping on a teddy bear costume and raising a boombox over your head outside your paramour’s window does wonders to get you back off the couch by proving that you do indeed care.

So once my minions quit dropping things and remember that forklifts are for work and not play, we’ll get situated, finish the move and start getting your orders out to you as soon as we can!

Party Costumes for Presidents’ Day

Greetings from Professor D. Dippel. It’s been a busy week here at B.U.N.N.Y. labs (recombining your DNA since 1996!), and one that’s been decidedly presidential. My minions even secured tickets to a few of the inauguration balls. Did they think to invite me, their creator, the one that gifted them with intelligence and opposable thumbs? But I was fine. I sat around in my underwear and watched everything from the comfort of my lair. It was much warmer there anyway.

I bring all of this up because there are a host of parties or things presidential coming up. HalloweenStreet has adult costumes for you, including president masks, president costume accessories, and full president costumes. You know, for the parties like the one my minions are throwing… but didn’t think to invite me to. Which is okay. I don’t mind. I’m evil and all powerful, and I have plenty of TiVo.

Around this time of year schools are doing presentations in honor of the inauguration and Presidents’ Day on February 16th. HalloweenStreet has plenty of child costumes for the little ones — like a George Washington costume or an Abraham Lincoln costume — so they can have the perfect presentation. When I was a young mad scientist, I once had to participate in a class presentation on the Revolutionary War. I got an important and necessary part: the front end of Paul Revere’s horse.

It is also tax season, and for many tax firms some advertising might be in order. Think of all the attention your company will get with someone wearing a Statue of Liberty costume outside the office. If you’re lucky it will even be an employee wearing the costume.

A New Year at Halloween Street

Greetings! I am Professor Doctor Dippel, evil mad scientist extraordinaire. I am taking over the blog here at HalloweenStreet in between my other duties at the B.U.N.N.Y. Labs (Biological Unit Neutralization/Negation Yield Laboratories, recombining your DNA since 1996!).

We are gathering momentum for our agenda here at HalloweenStreet.com. 2009 is a new year, and this is the place to go for all the latest trends and buzz on what kinds of Halloween costumes will be big for this year. We’ll also be talking about costumes for all of the upcoming holidays. Who says Halloween gets the monopoly on costumes? Not this little mad scientist, I can tell you that.

You may be wondering why such a mad genius has joined the HalloweenStreet team. It seems that less people are in the market for re-engineered monsters these days, and my insurance premiums have shot through the roof (you melt one little section of downtown and now you have to pay through the nose) so I’ve added blogging to my evil services. Also, please pay no attention to any explosions, mishaps and occasional screaming in the background. Those are my minions, and while extremely helpful they’re not exactly the sharpest tools in the shed. There might still be some kinks in my genetic engineering process I need to work out, as some of them did not even realize that costume had an “e” in it.

For those who are curious, yes, Doctor is my name. It is on my evil driver’s license. My parents were the sadly hopeful sort. I also have a brother named Attorney, but he turned out to be fairly rebellious. He’s now a television repairman in Rancho Cucamonga.

Please enjoy my evil blogging. Freeze rays do not grow on trees, you know. Although, that is an idea…
