Costumers: Romance, horror themes
are popular for Halloween this year
NEW YORK (AP) — Romance and horror,
not necessarily combined, are the hot themes for
adults dressing up this Halloween, partly because
‘ people want to get their mind off the stock mar
ket,” a leading costumer said Thursday.
Mark Beige, president of Rubie’s Costume Co.
in Queens, which also outfits off-Broadway and
television shows, said,“There’s a degree of escap
ism.”
Jeanette Centrowitz, co-owner of Universal
t .ostumes in Manhattan’s theater district, agreed,
Everything in the Romantic period is going like
hotcakes.
“We have ballgowns going out the door one af
ter the other. The men are very much into mus
keteer outfits and Amadeus.”
In previous years, said Centrowitz, “I had
women walking around wearing Michael Jackson
jackets and men’s pirate costumes.”
Beige said many of his female customers will
be dressing as harem girls, French maids, sorcer
esses or “she-devils.” The men want to be Dra-
cula, a gorilla or one of the Three Musketeers.
A costume that leaves little to the imagination
was modeled Thursday by Elvira, the Los An
geles television personality who presides over a
“creature feature” show.
During a visit to Rockefeller Center, she drew
stares in her signature attire: garish makeup, a
clingy black dress with a slit to the hips and a dan
gerously low neckline, a dagger belt buckle and
black nail polish.
Beige said horror-movie monsters are a heavy
influence this Halloween, especially Jason from
“Friday the 13th” and Freddie Krueger from
“Nightmare on Elm Street.”
Mike Burke, owner of ABC Costume Corp. in
Brooklyn, which stocked 3,000 fantasies for the
season, said his biggest themes are pirates,
French maids, Dracula and horror-movie
monsters.
Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker masks were
doing “pretty fair.” But there was no Oliver
North, because Halloween masks were manufac
tured too early in the year to take advantage of
that potential trend, he said.
