KISS – Ikons [4 CD Set]

Kiss is one of those bands that have been around for decades, and everyone knows who they are.  They’re almost as famous for their concert outfits as they are for their amazing hard-rock music.   This 4 CD has a different CD for each of the four founding members of Kiss, and each CD represents the music that founding member helped create. For Halloween, what could be better than a band who dresses up in costume every day?

The Strangers (Unrated)

The Strangers is a classic horror movie that relies less on Saw-style gore and more on traditional thriller-style scare tactics.  High on the suspense, it features an excellent performance by Liv Tyler, as well as Scott Speedman as a young couple alone in a cabin menaced by terrifying masked psychos.  When you’re alone with a sweetheart on Halloween and want to huddle up close over some popcorn, this is the movie to do it with.

Family Guy, Vol. 6

If you’re looking for a marathon of laughs for a sleepover on Halloween, you can’t go wrong with Family Guy.  A show that is so funny and irreverent that, after the studio suits canceled it, a campaign by fans and strong DVD sales brought the show back from the grave.  While Family Guy volume six is missing the famous Star Wars parody that kicked off the season, it does have a wonderful two part episode that finally answers the question:  What would happen if Stewie finally killed Lois?  It also features guest appearances by James Woods and the best humor ever produced by manatees!

Music:

Paul Stanley and Louis Antonelli – One Live Kiss

Kenny Chesney – Lucky Old Sun

Movies:

Incredible Hulk (Widescreen Edition)

Stock up now and have a rocking, scary, and funny Halloween!

Become.com Celebrates Pirate Day!

A while back, like many others around the world, I talked like a pirate. On Thursday, a coworker informed me that tomorrow, September 19th, was International Talk Like A Pirate Day. I had almost forgotten! (Last year the day passed me by, to my eternal regret). After thanking her profusely, I secured a promise from her that we would both participate on Friday. To get into the spirit of things, I picked up a bandana to wear on my head that night. (I wanted to get an eye patch as well, but I couldn’t find one). When I get there the next morning, everyone stared at me like I was crazy, which is perfectly understandable, especially since I was now saying things like “Yarr, ye scurvy sea dogs, how be the good website Become doing on electronics categories?” But no one else joined me, not even the friend who had promised me she would.

But I stuck with it, when giving my weekly report to my boss, when ordering from the waiter at lunch (got the calamari), and even when Joe the ‘tern tried to get me to break character by calling me on the phone and offering me a free Nintendo Wii. Why, you ask, would I persevere? Because if Blackbeard never quit, I wouldn’t either, that’s why.
But I did learn one lesson: If you are going to dress up, like many of you probably are for Halloween, make sure you
A) Get your Halloween costume ahead of time, so you can plan out everything in detail.
B) Make your friends order theirs as well, and make SURE they are wearing them before you go to work!

Avast me Hearties,

Mad Billy

Halloween Lighting:

Spooky atmosphere is an important part of this holiday, but you can keep your trick-or-treaters safe by making sure they carry a flashlight with their pails. Flashlights come in many sizes, ranging from standard to flashlight keychains, and having one makes sure your trick-or-treaters have a source of light ready any time.

Lighting Tip: Glow sticks are a fun way to carry a light source. They come in a variety of colors and shapes, but they all work to keep your kids visible.

Halloween Costumes:

Halloween costumes are a fun way for kids to express themselves. Is James a pirate or a zombie? Is Nancy a princess or a vampire? Whatever the costume, make sure they can move in it by pinning up parts that might cause a stumble or fall, like long tails or capes, before they head out trick-or-treating.

Costume Tip: If your Halloween costume comes with a mask that restricts your vision, ditch the mask and pick up some face paint instead. It’s a creative, fun way to keep your costume’s theme without decreasing your field of vision.

Halloween Candy:

Halloween means dressing up in costumes, knocking on doors or going to parties, and getting enough candy to scare your dentist and likely satisfy your sweet tooth for the whole year.

Check Halloween candy when your trick-or-treaters return, looking for ripped or open wrapping. It’s always good to err on the side of caution, and if there’s one Halloween rule everyone remembers, it’s check the booty.

Candy Tip: Avoid handing out hard candies to very small children at Halloween. While tasty, there’s always a choking hazard; opt for softer treats like chocolate bars, or even healthier choices like cereal bars (the kids may not get it, but parents will thank you!).

Plan Ahead for Halloween:

Halloween can be a really fun and safe night as long as you plan ahead. Buy your kids’ Halloween costumes and decide whether you’ll be joining your kids on the trick-or-treat trail (and whether you’d like to wear a witch costume this year) or if they’re old enough to go with a group of friends. Either way, know where they’re going; if possible, help them plan their route (hit up neighboring houses—if they know you, chances are they’ll be more generous with their candy!). It’s unpopular, but having a set return time is also a good way to go; discuss this curfew with your family so everyone agrees with it.

Trick or Treat Tip: Remind children about basic safety rules (stay on the porch when asking for candy from strange houses, don’t go up to houses that have no lights on or are poorly lit) and if they have cell phones, make sure they’re charged. Have a safe and spooky Halloween!
