You know, Star Wars only shows the Dark side of Darth Vader. But I was curious about Vader’s mundane everyday moments, so I hired a spy to find out what he’s really like when he’s not hanging out at the Death Star. Hold on to your helmet…this may surprise you.

This is extremely cool. A complete, authentic vampire slaying kit! A must have for all Vampire Hunters.
Made in the year 1800, this kit contains stakes, holy water, a gun (with silver bullets), crosses, a Bible, mirrors, candles and garlic! It comes in a hand-crafted walnut case with a carved cross on top.
The antique kit recently sold at an auction in Mississippi for a mere $14,850. WOW.
This is the real thing, it’s not a toy. Someone wasn’t playing around, eh? I wasn’t completely convinced before, but now I’m sure vampires are real. And I NEED a kit like this one ASAP.

Just when you think you’ve seen it all. Chocolate costumes!!
The Chocolate Show in New York City debuted with a chocolate superhero fashion show. These costumes were created by chocolatiers and pastry chefs, and I must say they look very tasty!
Shown above are photos of a chocolate Batgirl and Laura Croft in this “edible catwalk extravaganza.”
Via Telegraph.co.uk:
Bat Girl sported a fitted chocolate bodice as well as large chocolate wings with the classic comic-book words ‘Kapow’ and ‘Bang’ painted onto them.
The Lara Croft outfit comprised a chocolate bikini top and chocolate hotpants complete with a chocolate holster and guns.
Of course, no superhero fashion show would be complete without Wonder Woman and Iron Man. There was also a bodybuilder outfit complete with giant chocolate dumbells, as well as a fantastic Warrior Woman made of French chocolate that reportedly took 120 hours to make.
Wow, that’s pretty crazy. Let’s hope they kept the room temperature nice and cool.
Simply amazing! Wouldn’t this make a great “Got Milk?” commercial?

PARAMUS, N.J. (CBS) - West Brook Middle School students celebrated Halloween last Friday by wearing costumes to school. But 13-year-old Alex Woinski was kicked out for showing up in a Jesus costume. Alex has long brown hair and bears a striking resemblance to Jesus, his friends say.
According to the school principal, his costume was offensive to some students, and this was the first time any student had dressed like Jesus.
“I don’t think I overreacted,” Principal Joan Broe told CBS news.

What do you think? Is the costume offensive? Did the principal overreact? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments below.
If you’re a Star Wars fan AND a Barry Manilow Copacabana fan, then this video is too good to be true.
Not necessarily costume related, but we’ve blogged about Star Wars often enough and this is just weirdly awesome.
Okay, what is it with cow costumes and troublemakers? Just last week I wrote about another bad cow.
This woman got drunk, blocked traffic and chased terrified children through an Ohio town dressed as a cow. Since she had nothing else on underneath, she was forced to stay in jail and appear in court dressed in her cow costume. Yesterday, she was sentenced to 30 days in jail for disudderly conduct.

Is this the beginning of a new trend of cow crimes? Cow costume gangs? Soon the world will cry out for a hero.
This sounds like a job for…
This story is pretty bizarre:
If you live in Japan, for $25 you can hire a sexy girl in a maid costume to play Wii Fit with you.
According to the owner of Akihabara’s Refresh Club, “Playing Wii Fit by yourself is lonely. But here, playing along with a maid makes exercising enjoyable.”
Okay…. I’m a little speechless. That’s just so very funny and weird.

I don’t think Joel Schumacher will ever be forgiven for putting nipples on the Batsuit. Nor will he ever live down the travesty that is the 1997 Batman and Robin movie.
This video is making its rounds on various blogs. Someone took all the worst scenes in Batman and Robin and made a brilliant compilation video. It’s hilarious! And truly shows how awful that movie is, especially compared to the recent Batman Begins and The Dark Knight films. It’s a full ten minutes in length, but well worth it.
Poor Joel Schumacher. Here’s a short clip of him actually apologizing for this film.
What else is there to say? The Zombie Kid likes turtles. And everyone likes the Zombie Kid.
The Fly. It’s a horror film classic, whether you prefer the 1958 original or the 1986 remake. It’s a great story about a scientist whose experiments go wrong, combining him with a fly into one horrible monster. “That’s old stuff,” some might scoff, preferring new horror about girls coming out of TV screens and ghosts with grudges. But this old story has been given new life as an opera, which premiered in the US earlier this month in Los Angeles. It’s an interesting blend of old and new, cult film and high opera.
Unfortunately, it’s received less-than-awesome reviews concerning the singing and score, but they had nothing bad to say about the set design, and of course, the costumes. I’m intrigued by what I’ve seen online. Transforming a man into a fly-monster onstage certainly can’t be an easy task, and his costumes reportedly become increasingly gross and horrific throughout the second act. Here are some images I was able to dredge up online:
Wow! Nasty! I feel sick just looking at them! I would have to call it a costuming masterpiece. The costumes may not be pretty, but are they ever amazing.
