Last-minute shopping tips
for Halloween costumes
Tonight a magical trans
formation will take place.
Preppies, punkers, kick
ers, hippies and yuppies
will shed their typical attire
and don Halloween cos
tumes, masks and makeup
to act a little atypical for a
while.
Lisa Shankles, salesper
son at the East 29th Street
Warehouse, says people
are still buying the old cos
tume stand-bys — witch
es, devils, clowns and
playboy bunnies — but
the French maid has been
a big seller this year. The
realistic Ronald Reagan
mask has been a top item
too, she says.
Pirate, nun and priest
costumes are among the
most popular, Shankles
adds, and anything MTV-
ish has been in demand.
For those who like to go
all-out for Halloween, the
store carries a living skull
mask for $69. A full wizard
costume goes for $44 and
a doctor outfit can be pur
chased for $15. The store
also carries many inexpen
sive accessories.
Robyn Shaw, manager
of Starship Hallmark, says
that her store is mainly
stocked with accessories
for customers who like to
design their own cos
tumes. The collection of
animal noses has been
popular with the college
students, she says. Acces
sories range in price from
$1.79 for the noses to
$8.95 for a tail.
Instead of buying, quite
a few people have opted
to rent their costumes.
Kathy Koppers, manager
of Party Time, says the
most popular costumes
rented from the store have
been gangster and flapper
outfits. They also have
sold a lot of southern belle
and Robert E. Lee cos
tumes.
Rental fees range from
$40 for a large rabbit to $5
for a hula skirt, but aver
age about $20, she says. .

Light show will feature
new tricks and treats
Okay, folks, tonight’s
the night. Halloween has
arrived in Bryan/College
Station, bringing with it all
the traditional trick-or-
treating activity. But if
you’re not in the mood for
dressing funny and beg
ging for candy, you might
want to try “Lite Nite” at
the Brazos Valley
Museum.
The museum is hosting
a laser light show extraor
dinaire, featuring a bar
rage of special spook night
effects. The first two
shows, at 8 and 10 p.m.,
will be set to popular
music, like Michael Jack
son’s “Thriller” and Pink
Floyd’s “Welcome to the
Machine.” The midnight
display has been choreog
raphed entirely to Pink
Floyd’s eerie “Dark Side
of the Moon” album.
There will be no parking
at the museum itself. In
stead, show patrons will be
shuttled from the Sears
parking lot at Post Oak
Mall to the museum (a
mere three miles down the
road). Tickets for this en
lightening experience can
be purchased for $5.50
($2.50 for children 12 and
under) at the Rudder Box
Office, the Brazos Valley
Museum or at the shuttle
at least 45 minutes before
the show begins.
