If you grew up in the late 70’s or early 80’s then you probably watched the original Land of the Lost.. which I did. The sleestak’s always freaked me out because of their big eyes, hissing sounds and for the fact they moved so slow. Oh what a great low budget show it was. On Saturdays it was a sight you had to see.

Now with the 2009 remake of The Land of The Lost you can finally live your lifelong dream of dressing up as a Sleestak!  Awesome!

Below you can watch the original Land of the Lost intro… awww, doesn’t it bring back memories? More after the jump…

About Sleestak’s

Sleestak Mask

Sleestaks are large, scary, green humanoids with both reptilian and insectoid features; they have scaly skin with frills around the neck, bulbous unblinking eyes, pincer-like hands, stubby tails, and a single blunt horn on top of the head, and bear a resemblance to the hypothetical “Dinosauroid”. Sleestaks communicate with a hissing sound that rarely changes in characteristics. They move slowly in an upright and bipedal manner. Running is not necessary to avoid capture. Sleestaks are more sophisticated than Pakuni and are able to manufacture crossbows, rope, nets, periscopes and other relatively advanced technologies. The Sleestak have a current population of about 7,000 according to the Library of Skulls, but there were only three Sleestak costumes available for the show’s production, which sometimes required creative editing to create the illusion that they were that numerous. Of all the characters or species in the series the Sleestaks are the most famous.

Sleestaks live in the Lost City, an underground tunnel complex originally constructed by the Altrusians. They hate bright light and rarely venture out during the day. Sleestaks also have a “hibernation season” during which they cocoon themselves into rocky alcoves using some sort of webbing; cool air keeps them in hibernation, and the heat from lava in a pool that the character Peter Koenig (see below) dubbed “Devil’s Cauldron” inside the caverns of the Lost City revives them again on a regular schedule. The Sleestaks are very defensive of the Lost City. They know that their ancestors built it, but do not know how or why. They have occasionally tried exploring beyond the chasm that separates the Lost City from the rest of the Land, but their expeditions generally do not return; they consider the City to be their only refuge. However, after the earthquake at the beginning of season 3 the sleestaks are afraid and try to kick the Marshalls out of the temple. Fortunatley, Jack gets the door shut and the Sleestaks are trapped outside….

If you want to dive into some more Land of the Lost Sleestak info then visit the wiki page for more info.

If you are the funny adventurous type why not mix the Sleestak mask with a Hugh Hefner robe or Michael Jackson costume.. You’d be the sleez-knees!

You have more to choose from in adult pirate costumes now than ever before!  That’s due mostly to the popularity of the Disney “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies.

Sure, we had Captain Hook when we were kids and “generic” pirate’s plastic faces, usually with a rubber band to hold them on in the back.  But, things have changed.  You can even choose to go as Elizabeth, a female pirate.  That’s something that we didn’t have when we were kids.

If your goal is to arrive as Captain Jack Sparrow, the only thing that you’ll need is a boat.  Of course, in many of the movie scenes, Jack was without a boat.  So, you can choose a different form of transportation and still be in

keeping with the movie’s theme.

Perhaps you would like to be one of the darker characters from the movies.  The Davy Jones masks available for purchase are simply amazing.  You expect the tentacles to move on their own, as they did in the movie.

Marcus Sharkman is another of the unique, professional looking masks that can be ordered from authorized dealers.  You and your friends could make an appearance at the Halloween party and then appear in-costume at the opening of Pirates 4.

Speaking of professional looking adult pirate costumes, the latest Captain Hook get-up would be suitable for an on-stage performance of Peter Pan.  Maybe your girlfriend would like to play the little boy that never grew up.

A little play action with the available fencing swords could be fun, too, regardless of which scenes you decide to play out.  They are a bit more realistic looking than the kid’s versions, but still safe.

Whether you are shopping for Halloween, an on-stage performance, a regular costume party or just some at-home role playing, you will find everything that you need online.  From complete adult pirate costumes to a stuffed parrot to sit on your shoulder, your options are only limited by the imagination of the designers.  And, the designers have quite an imagination.

You might only need an eye patch and a long curly wig to go along with that black leather vest still hanging in your closet from days gone by.  You can spend as much or as little as you like and still be a convincing Blackbeard.

Elizabeth Costume

Get your family and friends involved.  If you have kids, let them in on the fun too.  With today’s adult pirate costumes and accessories, you can all have a great time.

An adult Disney costume can be sexy, playful or child-like, depending on your tastes and desires. You may think of Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty only as cartoon characters, but some people think of them differently.

What to do for Halloween this or any year is limited only by your imagination. New materials have allowed manufacturers to provide professional looking costumes at low prices. Maccus Sharkman from “Pirates of the Caribbean” is an example of a professional looking mask and outfit at an affordable price.

If you are planning a party, you might choose the “pirates” theme. The trilogy has been more popular than anyone expected and a fourth one is underway. You might have a number of Captain Jacks arrive, but you should also see a Davy Jones or two on your doorstep. So, be prepared.

Officially licensed costumes are available from a number of different retailers online, the cheapest and best selection is from buycustomes.com. Practically all of the popular movies can be recreated with the right costumes. From Snow White to 101 Dalmatians and the characters from Toy Story, you should be able to find your favorite movie and your favorite character.

Couples have a lot of choices from Disney’s line-up. Woody and Jessie from Toy Story could make an appearance. Mom and Dad from the “Incredibles” might show up. With the right wigs and a bit of makeup, you and your soulmate can be whoever you want to be, at least for one night.

Tinker Bell may be a popular adult Disney costume this year. Some new additions include the Power Rangers, the Little Mermaid and the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.

You will find several versions of Aladdin’s Jasmine and Jafar is available if you want to be more “evil”. Sally and Jack from the Nightmare before Christmas are available choices. Some of the Jack Skellington costumes are available in plus-sizes, too.

Instead of an adult Disney costume, you might consider something from the latest GI Joe movie or if you’re a video game fan, Halo 3 Master Chief Costumes might be the perfect fit. Superheroes are always popular choices, too. Anyone from the Batman to the X-men can be recreated with the right hair and attire.

Regardless of whether you choose an adult Disney costume or something else, remember to order early. You might be able to get what you want within the last few weeks leading up to the party. But if you start a few months early, you’ll be less stressed and you’ll enjoy yourself more.

If you are looking for an officially licensed adult Minnie Mouse costume, you can find one easily online, like at buycostumes.com.  One of the keys to an authentic look is the petticoat underskirt.  If it is made of stiff starched fibers, it can be pulled out and smoothed to give the skirt some lift.

You’ll need some fishnet stockings, black, patent leather shoes and white socks to complete the image.  Most sets come complete with velvety mouse-ears (matching the bodice) and a red bow.

The black and white bodice, with the red and white polka-dot skirt is the classic design for the queen of the mice.  She has had many different looks in many different movies, but if you want to be noticed and recognized, you want the classic look.

Some online companies sell all of the accessories that you’ll need, include socks, shoes and black fishnet stockings.  Matching girl’s outfits are available.  So, for a family night or an adults only party, an adult Minnie Mouse costume is a good choice.

If Dad wants to go as Mickey, you can sometimes find costumes available in men’s sizes.  But, remember to order early.  It’s not unusual to see these popular items out of stock.

It’s also a good idea to order early because alterations may be necessary.  The costumes are usually sold as “one-size-fits-all”, but that doesn’t mean they will fit everyone. Skirts are not usually a problem, but pants often need to be hemmed.

If the waist band is too tight, you’ll need time to return it and make a different selection.  There is rarely enough material to “let out” a waistband and these costumes tend to run small.

Some average-sized people order plus sizes.  It is always possible to take in a waist-band or hem something that’s too long.  But, if it’s too small, there’s not much you can do.  Remember to check the company’s return policy before you buy.

You might want a short black wig for your adult Minnie Mouse costume, although because of the club, you will see women with all different hair colors and styles wearing the mouse-ears.  If you want an authentic look, a black nose and long black eyelashes are a good idea.  You can use a little black shoe polish or special makeup to get the cute black nose.

If you can’t find an adult Minnie Mouse costume in your size, there are lots of other ideas to consider.  Mermaids and fairies are among your many options.  Try buycostumes.com – they have the largest and best selection of Halloween costumes around.. including Minnie Mouse Costumes for adults and kids.

Plus size Halloween costumes are available in a variety of styles, but when you go to order one, remember to shop for quality.  If the price is very low, there could be an embarrassing moment or two when the seams split.

We don’t need the highest quality materials for the annual parties.  We might only wear the outfit once, because we know that everyone would remember it the following year.  Then, we have to decide what to do with it.  Reselling doesn’t work out well for most people.  In most cases, it goes in the attic, until we move to a new company or a new state.

So, while you do want something that will last the night, you don’t really need something that will last for years to come.  Sometimes, the added cost is due to added accessories like shoes or hats.  Shoes and hats can be reused

from year to year, in many cases.

If you expect to do a lot of walking, skip the sexy high heels and go for something more comfortable.  You might not like the way the flats look, quite as much, but you won’t like the way that your feet feel after hours in poorly designed heels.

Some suggestions for plus size Halloween costumes for women include the Roman Empress, the Elegant witch and the sexy female vampire.  A man might like to go as Robin or Superman.

If he prefers something more down to earth, he could get a replica of a T-bird jacket from the movie “Grease”.  With black jeans and shoes, he can go as Danny Zuko.  Of course, he might need a few dance lessons, depending on the DJ.

Some of the more unique plus size Halloween costumes include the beer bottle, the beer keg and Jose Cuervo, but, there are witches, zombies, vampires and ghosts galore, too.

You can choose something unique, traditional or sexy, depending on your mood.

You can expect to see lots of Michael Jackson look-alikes this year.  You can still get in on that with a plus-sized leather jacket and pants, as Weird Al did in “Fat”.  Zombies fit with the “Thriller” theme, too.

Couples might consider going as the Flintstones or the Rubbles.  You can find a Barney, Wilma, Fred or Betty costume online.

It’s a good idea to order early, just in case you need to make some alterations or order accessories for your plus size Halloween costumes.  Shoes, for example, are rarely included.

Popular Halloween costumes tend to come from characters in popular movies. And the most successful films right now are action hero movies.

“The Dark Knight” has been the biggest blockbuster movie in years, grossing more than $522 million so far. So it’s no surprise that characters in “The Dark Knight” dominates the top 10 most popular Halloween costumes this year.

Whitney Wisdahl, manager of Dottie Mae’s costume store in Kansas City, said The Joker and Batman characters are two of the top picks this year.

“Anything that hits big in the movie theaters usually does great on Halloween,” Wisdahl said.

After consulting with several Halloween stores around the area and several Web sites, here is The Examiner’s Top 10 most popular costumes for the coming season.

10 Uncle Sam – or one of the candidates running for office, such as Sarah Palin, Barack Obama or John McCain

Perhaps one of the most important elections will take place Nov. 4, making this costume more popular than previous years.

9 Sexy dirty cop

Adult costume parties are rising in popularity and the sexy dirty cop costume should be a huge hit and turn heads. Don’t think you’ll have to worry about impersonating a cop here.

8 The red devil

This is a popular costume for women who want to be bad for at least one day a year.

7 Incredible Hulk

You can buy green foam muscles, unless of course you’re a professional bodybuilder. Then all you need is green paint and shredded jeans

6 Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Wishdahl said the Aqua Teen characters are popular and the store gets inquires about characters on the force. The teen force is a cartoon about three anthropomorphic fast food items, along with their next-door neighbor, and their life together in South Jersey.

5 Pirates

“Pirates area always a good seller each year,” Wishdahl said. They can range from costumes from Capt. Jack Sparrow to more elegant pirate outfits.

4 Indiana Jones

You don’t need much to dress up like Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Jr. All you really need is a hat and brown jacket. Probably the most important is a whip, which makes you stand out from an average guy wearing a brown jacket to Indy himself. Again, the return of Indy in May makes this a top-5 costume.

3 Hannah Montana

The Barbie idea has always been a hit with girls and Hannah Montana is this year’s Barbie costume. Finding an adult sized Hannah costume could be a challenge. All you need is a blond wig, a microphone and tacky clothing and you got it.

2 Batman

The Dark Knight himself, played by Christian Bale, will be popular because of the movie. Clearly, however, good is not as popular as evil when it comes to Halloween. Any version of the numerous Batman characters are popular, Wisdahl said.

1 The Joker

The villain for “The Dark Knight” was creepy and disturbing. It’s popular because Heath Ledger, who played the character, died before the movie was released. His death adds mystery and intrigue to The Joker. “That is 100 percent for sure No. 1,” Wisdahl said. “We have been getting asked about it all summer long. It’s just been nonstop being asked for it.”
