ThinkGeek and cosplayer Holly Conrad team up to make Halloween even better

FAIRFAX, Va., Oct. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ThinkGeek is taking Halloween beyond plastic masks and ghostly sheets by partnering with professional costumer Holly Conrad.  Visitors to ThinkGeek's Halloween Zone are able to find costumes for all skill levels, from a t-shirt that turns you into a superhero to a very particular piece for your custom costume built from scratch.

"Putting on a costume doesn't have to be fun for just kids," states Holly, whose artistry has been featured on SyFy's "Heroes of Cosplay," a reality show set inside the fantastical world of competitive costuming.  "Whether you make your own items or buy something to wear, it's all about the fun you have becoming someone else for a few hours."

Holly, who's blogged for ThinkGeek before, will be sharing her beginner's guide to costume crafting on October 15th.  Her YouTube channel also contains easy-to-follow guides on how to take your costume from two holes cut in a sheet to an award-winning masterpiece.

But Halloween's not all about the costumes. At ThinkGeek.com you can also find a range of unique products for hosting your Halloween soiree, staging a haunted house, or, well, turning every day into a costume party!
