  • Which Ghostbuster are you – Egon, Ray, Peter or Winston?


    10 October 2009

    Get down to your party and zap those ghosts away using your new persona as a Ghost Buster.

    This fantastic eighties film costume includes a beige jumpsuit, which fastens at the front by zip. Jumpsuit comes with collar and colour Ghostbusters logo on right upper-sleeve and also above left breast pocket. There are two breast pockets with zips to keep ghost-busting gadgets in!

    The inflatable proton pack comes with shoulder and waist straps and fasten with plastic buckles. The gun attaches to the backpack via Velcro. For extra value, the proton pack comes with a puncture repair patch in case of emergency.

    To finish off the look, you need some floating books (attached to end of a stick) and a tub of green slime for your meeting with Slimer. Of course, if you have a beautiful lady on your arm then you could even have your own Zuul!

    This costume is available from Jokers Masquerade for £38.99.

    1. Quick and easy make, start with a large bowl and beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy.

    2. Beat in the Vanilla extract with an egg, a little at a time until mixed well.

    3. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the bowl and mix.

    4. Wrap the batter in cling film and place in to fridge for 20 minutes until it takes a firmer texture.

    5. Flour a large clean surface and lay the mixture onto it. Now the fun begins!

    6. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/ Gas Mark 6.

    7. Roll the mixture with a rolling pin and use your spooky cutters to make cookies approx 1cm deep.

    8. Lay the cookies on a baking tray, decorate as you wish. We recommend chocolate chips for eyes and coloured icing for ghouly shapes.

    9. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are pale golden-brown.

    10. Don't rush in there just yet, leave the cookies aside for 1-2 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

  • The Hanging Rubber Skeleton Decoration


    29 September 2009

    Imagine your guests are knocking on the door eager to be let in and see what lies in waiting.

    So, why not try hanging this hanging rubber skeleton directly behind your front door. Behind it hang a large sheet of back material from the ceiling and from behind the material make spooky noises gesturing in them to push past your 'Uncle Lurch'. You can then surprice them with spiders, bats and all sorts of scary obsitcles until they finally make it in to the party!

    The skeleton is a full 5ft (1.5m) and will tower over any small children that encounter it. Although only try it with the brave ones!

    You can pick up a rubber skeleton like this for around £37.38, or you could try making your own.

  • Pumpkin Design


    29 September 2009

    Ok here we go, the first of the pumpkin designs...

    Not for beginners, the design needed two pumpkins. Draw your design with a marker pen to make sure you don't go off track with your knife and save all the seeds from your pumpkins to use as 'sick'. Nice!
