Picture compilation of things I snapped while down at the WeHo Halloween street festival on Santa Monica Blvd.
The “trick or treat” day is one fun filled day wherein we can get total strangers to give us candy or money. The sheer amount of fun and frolic on that day is one unforgettable experience.
One of the costumes which is well suited to emphasize the “trick” aspect would be the Samurai costume. After all, what better costume than that of a warrior to get the message home and that too a traditionally feared warrior?
The ability to stick out of the crowd is what can make a difference in getting the best treat, and one excellent option can be the samurai dress, which not only is different compared to the regular devils, or elves or spooky creatures, but also can emphasize that it is better to go for the treat option.
Considering that Halloween falls during the winter season, it is best to choose dress material that is a bit thick to protect from the cold.
There are a variety of Samurai costumes to choose from depending on what you would like to portray.
The basic dress is the satin Kimono which traditionally is made of two layers. The kimono can have Japanese figures painted on it or even a dragon spewing fire.
For children maybe a suitable jacket with matching elastic pants and drawings would be more suitable.
On this the Happi coat or the vest with shimmering colors of green or orange will go on to add an effect of glamour and power. The effects can be heightened by the use of different colors along the edges.
The next would be the sash, in a dual color for example Purple and red. Of course the choice can be best left to individual tastes.
Depending on the preference the head piece or cap can be combined with a face scarf to highlight the masked effect. Where the person prefers to have the face exposed, a fancy long and drooping moustache can give a weird effect to the Warrior image. One can also choose to wear a mask in order to make the intire costume a bit more realistic. Beard can be painted directly on the skin if you do not have a mask.
The Wig with pony tail is a necessary accessory. The pony tail can either be bunched up or knotted with a rope and stick on the top or can be left to hang loosely behind. Either way the effects can be enhanced by coloring the wig,
The warrior sword with sheath hanging on the back side. The ultimate fear factor! Of course the sword will be made of card! Such samurai swords can often times be bought in regular toy stores and halloween shops. Otherwise do a quick search online and you will have no troubles finding one. Most often, however, samurai costumes are bought as a set with the sword included.
Rounding off the costume would be the socks and the sandals! I guess it will only be treating; no one would dare to go for a trick!

Halloween is coming; this is one of the heaviest wireless-calling days of the year, including the night for trick-or-treating. In the happy days, you should avoid the tragic thing happened in your family. You know, when you and your children sink into the joy of celebration, the safety problems are always left behind of your mind.
Here are some safety tips from the company to keep in mind before your children hit the streets in search of goodies.
1. Go mobile: Whether packing their personal cell or a temporary prepaid phone, ensure each costumed child parading the streets has a fully charged communication device.
2. Secure the line of communication: Preprogram contact information of parents, neighbors and emergency services into your and your child‘s speed dial, and be sure you know how to access these numbers with ease.
3. Ensure accessibility: Use a belt clip or carrying case to make sure phones do not get tangled in costumes.
4. Establish boundaries: Families should have in place a familiarized route for children to follow. Mobile navigation tools can assist parents andkids in creating routes, and trick-or-treaters can reference maps throughout the evening.
Similarly, AT&T’s FamilyMap Viewer allows parents to easily and immediately locate a family member’s whereabouts from their mobile device orPC so they can keep a close watch.
5. Be in touch: Set up periodic alarms with Halloween-themed tones as a reminder for trick-or-treaters to text or call home between stops.
6. Keep ears on the ready: As part of a continued effort to remain aware of surroundings and keep open the lines of communication, trick-or-treaters should turn up their phone volume and listen for incoming call and message alerts.
