You Too Can Get Halloween Candy with Halloween Costumes

By Hetsil Protage

Making your own Halloween costumes are definitely fun, however it is also very time consuming and most people don't have a lot of spare time now days. You can always purchase a costume and there are a number of Halloween costumes on the market today that are perfect trick or treating and Halloween parties. However, even for the most devout Halloween lovers, purchasing a complete Halloween costume for hundreds of dollars is a bit extreme unless you are a Renaissance or a Civil War re-enactor.

If the Halloween costume is meant for your child, you can choose from a wide array. Most adult costumes also come in smaller sizes for children. This is great if you as mom or dad want to dress up as Mickey Mouse while your child dresses up as Minnie Mouse, for example.

Some parents want to dress up with their child in costumes that go together or compliment one another such as stated above. When you want to do this you need to make sure to choose a specific theme such as Shrek where you could be Shrek and your child could dress as one of Shrek's babies or even as Donkey or Puss-n-Boots. These Halloween costumes are easy to get and dressing together and going out trick-or-treating is a sure way to get a large amount of candy.

If you are a fuddy duddy and getting dressed up in a Halloween costume is not to your liking but you still wish to find a Halloween costume for your child, you need look no further than what they like on TV today. There are plenty of Hannah Montanna or Miley Cyrus Halloween costumes as well as any of the Disney Princess' if you have a daughter.

When purchasing a Halloween costume for your son, it's effortless. Boys are very easy to please, especially when it comes to Halloween costumes. Old clothes and fake blood usually make a boy happy. Some boys are more fickle and enjoy scaring people, so the old day Halloween costumes just won't do. Rags, zombie hands and severed heads are all part of the Halloween costume that a boy usually wants. Find ways to use clothes around the home and then go to your local Halloween store to find fake blood, face paint and any other needed items.

Adults normally are not easy to please as children. I know - I am an adult most of the time and I want my Halloween costume to be elaborate. Besides dressing as a pirate on weekends for no other reason than to carry a sword I also love Star Wars. There are some wonderfully elaborate Darth Vader Halloween costumes available that make dressing like him cool again. Grim Reapers, Zombies and Ghosts are all at your disposal as possible Halloween costume choices.

During Halloween, couples also need not fear. Many Halloween costumes for the most lighthearted adults can be fun as well as sexy in anything. These costumes range from the Socket and Plug Halloween costume to the Redneck Trailer Trash and Bertha costume. Halloween costumes are what make Halloween enjoyable. Don't let yourself or your family be left out. Edited by Hetsil Protage - 15266
