For All of Your Johnny Depp Halloween Costume Needs


I never was much into the whole tradition of Halloween. The reason is, because Halloween just isn't the same anymore. For most, you go to malls or local business to get candy. No fun haunted houses to scare for the fun of candy. I mean seriously, what's the fun in going around the mall to get candy?

Last year kind of surprised me. My old job had a Halloween contest at work. So instead of ignoring the usual bland Halloween thing, I participated, more in hopes of winning the $100 gift certificate for the best Halloween costume ideas . Although I didn't win, (I went as a white witch)it was a fun day to see everyone oohing and ahhing over my fiber optic hair.

Since I was laid off from that job, I don't honestly know what sort of mind frame I'll be in when Halloween roles around this year. One thing I do know, some people and companies like Costume Cauldron are looking to get an early start on the haunted holiday. It's not a bad idea and some of their halloween costumes look pretty cool. I found a whole slew of Johnny Depp Halloween Costumes. Everything from Pirates of the Caribbean to Edward Scissorhands. They even have costumes from Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpses Bride. How insane is that?

Personally, I love the fact that they have costumes from the movie Saw. But my favorite actually happens to be, the Catwoman costume. Meow......

Costume Cauldron doesn't just deal in tv and movie costumes, however. They have other great costumes as well. Check out their adult section. I'll be honest, I can see these costumes being used for more that just halloween. And seriously, why not? Whatever your favorite idea of a costume is, I am sure they have it. Umm, but something I noticed they don't have that I would absolutely love. Two, actually. The costume Drew Barrymore wore in Everafter and the costume for Tom's Cruise's leading lady in Legend. Too bad! Meow......

Bittersweet Revenge

Ohh Yes, revenge can be very bittersweet. And who better to play the part of a revengeful man than actor, Johnny Depp. Two simple words. Sweeney Todd. He's lost his wife, his child and most recently... his mind. Imagine having your family taken away by someone with a pure heart of jealousy. What would you do? Or better question. What would Sweeney Todd do?

Johnny Depp portrays a revenging husband who's come back to collect the life of the man who sent him away as well as others who have done him wrongin Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd.

Setting up shop as a barber and slashing his way back into the life of his child, Joanna with the help of Mrs. Lovett, an old family friend (played by Helena Bonham Carter),... Sweeney Todd no doubt makes revenge look soo bittersweet.

Another sweet revenge movie that comes with the ultimate price is, "Heathers" which starred actor Christian Slater. In it, he portrays a troubled teen who seeks revenge on those who have tortured him. A good example of revenge is when he decides to blow up the high school, but instead straps the dynamite to himself in an attempt to win over his once sweetheart, played by Winona Ryder. Heathers is just as creepy and twisted as Sweeney Todd.

To see for yourself how revengeful Sweeney Todd can be, visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site. If you find that's simply not enough for you, you can also visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace. A myspace page with Sweeney Todd. How bittersweet is that?
