You Too Can Get Halloween Candy with Halloween Costumes

By Hetsil Protage

You can make your own Halloween costume or you can purchase one. It all depends on how much time you have. There are a lot of Halloween costumes on the market today that are perfect for trick-or-treating, or Halloween parties. Even if you're a very devoted Halloween fan, though, you probably don't want to spend a lot of money on a costume.

Let us start with our children. Halloween costumes for kids are as varied as the adults and, in fact, often exist in "mini me" versions. And to show a good segway you, as the parent, could dress yourself up in a Dr. Evil Halloween costume and your child as Mini Me - both Halloween costumes are widely available.

Of course, you can also choose a specific theme that you and your child "match" together with your Halloween costumes. You can both be Disney characters, as stated above, or you can be another famous "partner" couple such as Prince Charming and Cinderella. And of course, these efforts, too, may get you more candy.

If you do not like getting dressed up for Halloween but you still want to find one for your child, you don't have to look any further than what your child watches on TV these days. There are many costumes such as the Disney Princesses or Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus Halloween costumes that your daughter is sure to love to dress up as.

If your child is a boy, this, too, can be quite easy. Simply choose an old shirt, some leggings, and a bit of red paint (for blood) to have your boy go as a pirate. If your boy is a little choosier, you can choose among more advanced costumes such as Frankenstein or a zombie.

If you as an adult want an elaborate Halloween costume, you can also look to movie or TV show themes. For example, if you like Star Wars, Darth Vader might be an option. And of course, you always have ghouls, zombies and grim reapers to choose from.

Couples need not fear either as Halloween costumes for the lighthearted adult can be fun and sexy by dressing in anything from the Socket and Plug Halloween costume to Bertha and Redneck Trailer Trash. Halloween costume fun at its best to make no one in your family feel left out. Edited by Hetsil Protage - 15437
