Become the Bride of Frankenstein With the Monster Bride Costume This Halloween

Monster Bride costumes get their inspiration from the horror movies "The Bride of Frankenstein" and "Bride of the Monster." "The Bride of Frankenstein" is a sequel to the original movie about a doctor who wants to create life but created a monster instead. In this film, Frankenstein's mentor Pretorius returns and forces him to create a Bride for the Monster. He succeeds in his work of bringing the Bride to life by using lightning but when confronted with the Monster, she is scared of him. Unable to accept this rejection, the Monster destroys Frankenstein's laboratory and kills himself, along with the Bridge and Pretorius.

In the film "Bride of the Monster," the woman is the reporter who investigates a series of disappearances that she believes are due to a monster. In reality, these were caused by a mad scientist who wanted to produce an army of super humans using atomic energy. However, when he sees the reporter, he wanted to transform her into a super human who will be his bride. Fortunately, the scientist's assistant falls in love with her and he betrays his master. As a result, the scientist becomes a monster and dies in an atomic explosion.

The most common Monster Bride costumes are based on "The Bride of Frankenstein," and as such, the hairstyle used is often copied from the conical hairdo of Frankenstein's bride that has white streaks of lightning on the left side and the right side. However, because of the difficulty of getting this kind of hairdo, some costumes for children and adults do away with this trademark and simply use a conical hat to conceal the hair. Like the Frankenstein Monster, mechanical bolts can be seen protruding on both sides of the head through the hat. The Monster Bride can also wear a dress, gloves and pantyhose featuring the famous stitches seen on the Monster. Furry boots are used to complete the costume.

For those who want to really copy the looks of the Bride of Frankenstein, the monster wig is indispensable. There are several such wigs available from online stores and they can be made of synthetic fiber with the characteristic streaks of lightning. However, most Monster Bride costumes come complete with the wig, and a white dress with streaks of black and blue. The usual stitching to denote that this particular person has been patched up to create monster is usually evident. Combine this costume with a Frankenstein costume to become the monster couple this Halloween!

The Bride of Frankenstein Chose the Bridesmaid Dresses


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Weddings are lavish celebrations. A lot of money has to be spent on food, decorations, settings, and clothing. This became a concern for my daughter who has been attending more than a few weddings over the past couple of years. She came over to our house a few days ago seeking my help for a problem regarding the expensive prices of bridesmaid dresses.

My daughter had just come from a shopping trip with a friend who is planning to get married. On this trip they were supposed to pick out the bridesmaid dresses. The first problem became evident when she saw the price of the dress that the bride had picked out. The price was very high so she and the other attendants pointed this out to the bride. However, the bride would not listen to her and maintained that this was the dress she wanted them to wear.

The other problem was the color of the dress that the bride selected. My daughter was upset because the color was unattractive and she is concerned that she will look sickly in the photographs. She felt that the color would make her appear lifeless and washed out. She felt that the bride was purposely picking these bridesmaid dresses so that she would look a cut above anyone else in the wedding party.

My daughter also shared that she had spent hundreds of dollars on bridesmaid dresses for previous weddings and simply cannot afford to spend more than eight hundred dollars on this dress. She was not very close to the bride and she did not want to hurt her feelings. On the other hand, she did not want to spend a ton of money on an ugly dress that she was only going to wear once.

We discussed this problem for a long time and I suggested that she should simply be honest to her friend. She should explain to the bride that she could not afford the dress.

She was unwilling to do this, but she could not come up with other alternatives. She also told me that she will inform me of how things went. She was fearful that she was damaging a relationship over the price of bridesmaid dresses.

When she left my husband asked me why our daughter had been so upset. I told him about our daughter's problem. He told me that we should offer to pay for the dress so that she wouldn't have to charge it. I explained to him that the problem went beyond the cost of bridesmaid dresses and that I thought it was important for our daughter to take care of the situation.

After a couple of days, my daughter called me. She had spoken with the bride about the high cost and poor color of the dress. The bride became unusually upset and hung up on her. However, after a few hours the bride called back and apologized and asked our daughter if she would like to shop for a less pricey dress. It turned out that the other attendants had also complained about the dress to her. They all agreed to start over by finding new bridesmaid dresses.
