What is the fascination of Zombies? Pictures and films depict them as slow and ugly although it’s true more recent films such as “28 Days Later” and “House of the Dead” as two examples, show them to move more quickly.

Essentially a zombie is ‘undead’, in other words a corpse that’s come back to life, but with no control of their own nor any feeling, and they feast on the living turning their victims into more zombies.

With all these types of movies and video games around kids love to dress up in a zombie costume, especially around Halloween and the festive period when invited to parties, and it’s not restricted to boys either as plenty of girls like to dress up in their ‘teenage’ horror girl zombie outfits and walk around with a twisted pose, bent legs and arms, and incredibly convincing make up. In fact there are plenty of videos on You Tube and other video sites where girls show you step by step how to dress and use make up to get the perfect effect. They even go so far as to use latex to create the rotting flesh and wound effects.

Are Zombies real? Some people believe there may be some element of truth in the phenomenon. For example, back in 1980, a man who claimed to be Clairvius Narcisse walked into a Haitian village, however the problem was that Clairvius Narcisse was supposed to have died in 1962 in Deschapelles at the Albert Schweitzer Haitian Hospital, however he stated that he was in some state of paralysis and even saw the doctor cover his face with a sheet presuming his death. He claimed a ‘Bokor’, a Haitian kind of sorcerer had brought him back to life and so Clairvius Narcisse considered himself a zombie.

Halloween is fast approaching, the time of year that all kids love. It’s great fun to dress up and go “trick or treating”. Whilst people buy a lot of different costumes, for trick or treat, it’s best to have a traditional scary costume like a kids skeleton costume, a witch costume or a zombie costume. Witches and skeletons are probably the most traditional for Halloween. A Grim Reaper costume would also be fantastic as would a vampire or a werewolf.

You can get a simple straightforward skeleton costume or to be a little different you could get a zombie skeleton or a pirate skeleton. I particularly like the pirate skeleton outfits since as well as being a scary skeleton, you also get to wear a colorful costume! Another more unusual costume is the karate kid skeleton costume.
