Before Halloween, it’s time to answer what’s possibly your favorite question of the year: Who will you pretend to be on All Hallows’ Eve? You have plenty of options with so many costumes available on the market. Here are some tips that might help you narrow your search.
Choose Your Favorite Hero
Superheroes are everywhere, especially on the silver screen! Draw inspiration for costumes from films such as “Thor,” “Superman Returns,” “X-Men,” “Spiderman” and “Captain America.” Halloween is always a prime time for heroes to run around town looking for candy.
Choose Your Favorite Movie Character
Superheroes aren’t the only stars who are plentiful at Halloween. Movie franchises such as “Harry Potter,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and “Scream” are sources of inspiration for Halloween costumes. Hogwart’s wizards are sure to appear trick-or-treating at your door. If you don’t want to dress as one of the kids from the movie, consider dressing as one of the teachers. Other movies that may inspire you are “Cowboys and Aliens,” “The Matrix,” and “The Smurfs.”
Choose a Classic
Even though you may want to dress up as your favorite movie character, it’s also fun to stick with classic Halloween costumes. Witches, vampires, and ghosts will never go out of style, so if that’s what you want to be for Halloween, have at it!
Make Your Own
Maybe you bought costumes for the kids and want to save money on your costume. You can always make your own. With clothes and items you already have, you could be a bum, scarecrow, clown, or even a hippy.
The number one deciding factor on your costume should be what’s the most fun. What costume will make your Halloween more exciting? Once you have your answer, you’ll know who to be.
