Houston, TX – Witches, pirates and Spider Man – all mainstays of Halloween revelry – may be taking a backseat to a bold new “look” blazing through Hollywood long before the first trick-or-treaters start ringing doorbells. They’re known as faux fir animal hoods, and not since John Candy played Barf (a half-man, half-dog) in Mel Brook’s cult parody “Spaceballs” – has animal headdress captures so much media attention.

Celebrities such as Vanessa Hudgens, Khloe Kardashian, Rihanna Wears – along with many other stars – have been photographed wearing their faux animal hoods to public events further fueling this furry phenomenon.

According to industry analysts, animal hoods have been flying off costume websites in increasing numbers as Halloween approaches. “Adults just love them. They allow people to express their unique animal magnetism as represented by their favorite critter. Of course, kids are crazy about this unique headgear, too!”

Even health-related, consumer websites such as http://costumes911.com/, which is primarily concerned with Halloween safety issues for children, is cautioning parents and adults planning to attend parties this year, to shop early for Halloween in order to get the best deals on animal hoods along with traditional costumes.

“We’re in the prime selling season for Halloween retailers,” say http://costumes911.com/. “Cavernous buildings that once stood empty are now filled with costumes. However, the competition is even more competitive in the on line sector, so now is the time to shop around for the best deals and have your favorite costume delivered straight to your door.”

http://costumes911.com/ also suggests that on line shoppers make sure they fully understand a website’s return policy and shipping deadlines, so you or your child won’t be caught scrambling for a costume on Halloween. “Once the costume arrives, be sure check it out thoroughly and make sure it fits,” they advise.
