How about Dressing as an Addams Family member for Halloween.

Posted by:

Gomez Addams costumeIn about 7 weeks, on the night of 31 October, some 8 weeks before Christmas, is the spookiest night of the year. There are many legends swirling around the festival but it is comes from the Christian festival of “All Saints” or “All Hallows” which was the day that all people who had died the previous year ascended to heaven.

But the Ghoulies and Ghosties and other demons came out the night before to catch the un-cleansed souls and drag them down to hell and thus it became traditional to regards “All Hallows Eve” or Halloween as it is now known, as a night to be put up wards against the evils and extend charity to one’s neighbors and visitors. The Jack ‘o Lantern was one such wards made possible by the fact that the celebration was at the end of Harvest so it was possible to take Pumpkins to carve out a wicked face to let other horrors know that there was already a demon busy and they should go elsewhere.

Thus the tradition of dressing up as witches and warlocks and ghosts and other scary creatures developed. Brought to America by the immigrant Catholic Irish families and gradually assimilated whereby the children go out dressed up to “trick or treat” thus gathering some of this neighborly charity for themselves.

The actual traditions have now been re-exported to Europe and elsewhere from America and are now a major event.

But the important thing is the costumes. It does not matter if you are a child or an adult attending a Halloween party it is essential that you are dressed appropriately.

And how much more appropriate could you be than be dressed as a member of the Addams Family who are the quintessential family of death and damnation. Whether you wish to dress as Morticia or Gomez the costume is available on the website at very reasonable prices.

One could send ones kids out trick or treating dressed as Uncle Fester, or one could go oneself and many sizes are available for the costume which includes the robe with hood, rope belt and a mask to complete the ensemble.

There is Rubie’s wig on sale at a very reasonable price and who could resist her obsession with homicide in the dead pan voice she uses to voice her major hobby. Of course costumes of Thing and Cousin Itt are likewise on sale.
