There Are Many Halloween Costumes To Choose From

When you look for Halloween costumes for an adult or child to wear on this special holiday, you will have a difficult time deciding. There are so many, from animal costumes to witches and scarecrows and mummies. Little girls can be fancy princesses and little boys can be frogs.

Dracula will appear on many neighborhood porches looking for candy. He will wear a long black cape and fangs. Blood will drip from his mouth. A female witch will be dressed in black and wear a pointed hat. She may be carrying a broom, or riding one.

Cute little toddlers will impersonate their favorite cartoon characters. See Batman, Spiderman and Superman. It’s not only the boys who can be super. There is wonder woman and batwoman going door to door as well. They all hold out their trick or treat bags to be filled with wrapped candy.

One stunning costume was a genie outfit. It was obviously hand sewn from pale blue silky material. Covered in a sheer pink, it had harem pants, a top with puffed sleeves and tassels dangling from the hem of the top. This was a happy little girl who took great pride in her costume since she had picked it out from all the available patterns.

Not all moms are that talented and many little princesses wear their Disney costumes with pride and tiaras atop their curls. Cinderella and the evil stepmother are often seen. The older boys take special delight in posing as Jason or Freddy Krueger and terrifying the little kids. But it’s all in the spirit of the Halloween holiday.

For one improvised costume, put a colorful bandana on a stick. Wear a ragged shirt and jeans and rub some make-up on the cheeks to simulate dirt. Plop one of dad’s old hats on and become a hobo for the night. However, there are few ghosts wearing a sheet with holes cut out for the eyes. Could this be due to a shortage of sheets that are white rather than colored?

Clever adult costumes at parties still include dancing girls, skeletons, priests, nuns and that old favorite, a husband and wife in a two-person horse costume. Cows are still popular, along with cartoon characters such as Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too.

It’s fun shopping on the Internet for your Halloween costume. Some are intended for wearing to the Renaissance Faire. These are heavy and quite elegant and made to be durable. Find Little Red Riding Hood as well as the big bad wolf. Some couple’s costume sets include Tarzan and Jane, King Kong and his lady love and the horse costume for two to wear.

When one of the guys dresses up as a woman, it’s so fun to watch him hobble around the room in high heels. Perhaps his wife will dress up as a man. Or, you can put on a long black coat, carry a shovel and go as an undertaker.

Stores sell Casper the Friendly Ghost and Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street. Kids love to be scared, but firemen and policemen (and women) are still popular Halloween Costumes. There will still be a few Darth Vadars out on the streets and Scooby Doo as well as the big bad wolf. Be whatever you want to be for the evening of the full moon. You know that’s the night the werewolves roam freely through the neighborhood.
