Santa Presents

Halloween is just around the corner, now is the time for you to get your costume ready for the big day. The following are a few great Halloween costume ideas to help you celebrate this year´s festivities in style. Whether you make them yourself or buy them from a costume store, remember that the point of this holiday is to have fun.

Celebrity costumes are always popular. The key to selecting a celebrity for your outfit is to choose someone who is easily identifiable. Here are a few celebrity costume ideas:

  • Arnold Schwarzenegger
  • Snooki (From the show ´Jersey Shore´)
  • Michael Jackson
  • Barack Obama
  • Osama Bin Laden
  • Sarah Palin
  • Kim Kardashian

With the growing trend in the movie industry to remake superhero movies, why not take their lead and be a superhero for Halloween this year? Some popular superhero costumes this year are:

  • Spiderman
  • Superman
  • Thor
  • The Green Lantern
  • Captain America

Other people like the more traditional Halloween costumes. These may include:

  • Clowns
  • Ghosts
  • Zombies
  • Fortune Teller
  • Pirate
  • Witch
  • Doctor / Nurse

When it comes to picking your Halloween costume the only limiting factor is your imagination. Think outside of the box when deciding on materials you may want to use to create the perfect illusion. Thrift stores offer a lot in the way of variety and ideas and are usually friendly on your pocket book. While at the thrift store make sure to look for appropriate props to help complete your outfit. Do not be afraid to ask the clerk if they are offering any Halloween discounts. You would be surprised at how often I have got 15-25% off just for asking.

Aside from your costume and accompanying props, the most important aspect of your costume is your behavior. You have to become the character you are trying to portray. Use whatever accent or dialect that your character uses. Make sure to have the same attitude your character displays. A funny clown should not be yelling at his wife and kids, a zombie should be walking with a limp, a pirate says "yarr" a lot. I think you get the idea.

Whatever great Halloween costume you decide on, just remember to be safe and have fun. This is not supposed to be a stress filled holiday. The old saying "Just be yourself" does not apply here. A more appropriate saying would be "Just be someone else.". Enjoy yourself and have a blast. Let´s make 2011 the best Halloween ever!
