“Presidential Candidates Duke it out at Halloween Adventure” Political Character Masks Are Hot This Year

Posted on by

Marcus Hook, PA (PRWEB) September 17, 2008

Halloween Costume and accessory superstore, Halloween Adventure, unveiled their new line of political character masks on Wednesday.

Bruce Goldman, President and Founder of Halloween Adventure, one of the world’s largest costume and accessory retailers, said on Wednesday, “With the presidential election lurking just around the corner, political character masks are big business for the costume industry. From Barack Obama to John McCain, President Bush to Vice President Cheney, and even Bill and Hillary Clinton, political character masks are becoming more popular as we near the November 4th election.”

According to Goldman, Halloween Adventure currently offers political character masks inspired by modern politicians and popular presidential figures from the past. “Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, and Richard Nixon have proven to be popular masks in previous years but this year’s presidential candidates will steal the show,” Goldman says. “This election is like no other in history. We’ve had the unique and historic experience of seeing an African American man, a war hero, and a woman compete for the most highly regarded positions in our country’s government. We’ve are seeing history unfold before us.”

Political character masks, like those available at Halloween Adventure, have been seen on “Saturday Night Live” and other popular television programs since the kickoff of the election year. “What makes political character masks so popular is that they can be used to show support for a particular politician or make fun of one,” Goldman says. “These masks are versatile in that regard and, unlike most masks and costumes; they can be serious, funny, silly, or just downright scandalous depending on the wearer’s intent and the accessories used.”

Goldman also claims that political character masks make for impressive couples’ costumes as well. “We encourage shoppers to make the most of the festivities when they and their loved ones dress in coordinating costumes. Couples’ costumes are fun and instant attention grabbers on the Halloween party scene and there are few people in our country more recognizable than Barack Obama and John McCain, George and Laura Bush, or Bill and Hillary Clinton.”

With a multitude of political character masks available to fit most adults, it appears that Halloween Adventure is ready for Halloween and Election Day.

Halloween Adventure is a division of MASQUERADE, LLC, headquartered in Boothwyn, PA. The company operates 100 Seasonal Halloween Costume Super Stores from Coast to Coast in the US, the year-round MASQUERADE, Imagination Super Stores in Philadelphia, PA, Pittsburgh, PA, and the World’s Most Imaginative Costume Store spanning 3 floors at 808 Broadway and 104 4th Avenue in New York City’s East Village.

No Halloween Ghost, Freed Slave James Brown Walks Again in New York’s Hudson Valley

Posted on by

Beacon, NY (PRWEB) October 14, 2010

Now James F. Brown, as interpreted by actor Michael Monasterial, returns regularly to Mount Gulian Historic Site , the Dutch colonial homestead where he worked for 40 years. The Hudson Valley historic site presents From Slave to Mr. Brown, living history afternoons featuring Brown and his employer Mary Anna Verplanck as they were in 1848.

The pair interact with visitors as they are welcomed to the estate as guests or interviewed for farm and household positions by Brown. In the process, much is revealed about life in the 19th century and Brown’s character and standing in the community.

“It’s fabulous,” Pat Gallie of Beacon said after one of the programs. “I totally believed he (Monasterial) was in the time.”

William Puswald, 14, of Beacon, found it surprising that an African American in mid-19th century America “could be so successful in the north.”

“Brown kept diaries for 40 years,” Mount Gulian Historic Site Executive Director Elaine Hayes explained. “That’s how we know that he returned to Baltimore to purchase his wife’s freedom, bought his own home in Beacon and as a result of owning property, was able to vote in local and national elections.”

Detroit Rapper Esham Terrorizes Halloween Season With Exploitation Horror Album

Posted on by
Reply


Detroit, Michigan (PRWEB) October 8, 2009

Independent hip hop kingpin Esham has returned to engrave his name on this year’s Halloween season with a new hour long creep show experience, “Hellaween: Pure Horror”. Dropping on CD and digital download October 13 through Aknu Media, the new album features 17 polarizing tracks juxtaposed with gore laden sound effects and a host of classic horror villains hell bent on terrorizing audiences worldwide.

Esham adds, “The vision was to manifest a project framed around the psyche of these characters while loosely paying homage to the format of classic radio programs like “War of the Worlds”. ‘Hellaween’ resurrects the best of horror cinemas antagonists while showcasing Esham and his entire label roster rhyming in character throughout the entire album. The production combines a diversified supply of hard hitting compositions with esoteric overtones and smash mouth, b-movie swagger sewn together like stitches in flesh.

Esham’s career dates back to 1989 with the release of his debut “Boomin Words from Hell” when he first began mixing hip hop with hard rock and the dark arts. His “acid rap” style of suicidal storytelling, sexploitation and violent street anthems are considered influential to Eminem, D12, Kid Rock, Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid as well as an entire sub-genre within hip hop. “Hellaween: Pure Horror” continues Esham’s history of the macabre in an entirely new medium that’s a sure shot to rock any costume party, monster ball or haunted house this Halloween.
