The Best Halloween Costume Ideas Ever!
By Jillian Gallo

The best Halloween costume ideas ever are different to each person. That’s because which Halloween costume you like best is a matter of personal taste. You may like the Gothic Vampire best, while I like the Fairy. There are some costume themes that are popular every year, and some styles come and go depending on the blockbuster movies or cartoon characters that happen to be popular right now. Let’s take a look at some of the classic costume styles that are popular year after year.

Superhero and Villain Halloween Costume Ideas

Superheroes and their worst Villains are always a popular costume idea for Halloween parties and trick or treating. This year Batman is popular again, and so are some of his most famous villains…The Joker, The Scarecrow, Cat Woman and Poison Ivy. Logan, of the X-Men is also pretty hot this season…we know him as Wolverine. Transformers have been a popular kids costume theme for years, but thanks to the release of their new movie, Revenge of the Fallen, they are super hot this year. Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and Megatron are the three most popular Autobot costumes for boys.

For girls and women there is Supergirl and Wonder Women to turn each of us into crime fighters with special powers that make us Super! Spider Girl costumes are also pretty popular with the ladies year after year. The really super thing about these superhero costumes is that they work for both male and female costume ideas. It’s just fun to have these extra special powers and crime fighting abilities, even if it is only for one day. And it’s fun to be one of those very bad guys…just for a day too.

Celebrity Halloween Costume Ideas

If your not going to be a Superhero, you might want to dress up like a Celebrity. A celebrity like Hannah Montana are all fun dress up costumes to wear. Movie and TV stars are as close as you can get to Superheroes without actually being one. For boys there are beloved characters like Ben 10 or Dan Kuso of Bakugan are a close relative to superheroes.

For teens and adults there are some real oldies, but goodies costume ideas out there. Be nostalgic and get dressed up as Marilyn Monroe and Elvis from any of his hit movies…or from his music. There’s Michael Jackson costumes with his outfits from Thriller, Bad…and the beautiful sparkling Billie Jean outfit. For the ladies, how about that beautiful and funny lady from I Love Lucy…Lucille Ball, that famous comedian from old time TV.

Then there are some adult funny costumes based on characters like the Flintstones…yep, Fred and Wilma, Barney and Betty and even Bam Bam and Pebbles are popular adult and teen costumes.

Gothic Halloween Costume Ideas

Sometimes, it’s the make up possibilities that attract us to a particular character we can dress up as. The Gothic theme is always a popular one, but this year the gothic costumes for teenagers and adults are really moving out of the stores quickly. The Renaissance goth costumes, and the cooler punkier ones, like the Gothic Fairy, the Corpse Bride and Groom or the Gothic Mummy are fun, not only to wear, but to get made up for. Very light foundation and very dark, smokey eyes are part of the gothic make up charm. Add some black nail polish, a little gray blush and some dark blood red lipstick and you’ve achieved the gothic Halloween look.

Sexy Halloween Costume Ideas

Of course, if you happen to be an adult, sexy is always a hit. You can take one of those Marilyn outfits or get a Greek Goddess Venus or Aphrodite. There’s a really cute lady Cop uniform and some naughty, but nice Angel and Fairy costumes. For the men, there are the classics, the Vampire and the Roman Guard and of course, the Cop if you like a man in uniform.

Fantasy and Fairy Tale Halloween Costume Ideas

The Disney Princesses, Tinkerbell, Fairy and Mermaid costumes are always big crowd pleaser for the girls and the boys, well, they have Prince Caspian, a Knight, Peter Pan and the Dragon Slayer to choose from.

The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland open up lots of costume ideas too.

Easy Costumes For Halloween

Easy costumes are always big hits with all age groups. Togas, Scrubs or a White Lab Coat are very popular because of the ease of making them. You don’t have to buy or sew to turn yourself into a Toga wearing Greek, or a Doctor or Nurse costume. Just get a sheet or a large rectangular piece of material to make your own toga or borrow some scrubs and a stethoscope from someone in the medical field.

What ever Halloween costume ideas you decide on, whether its a toga or Marilyn, or The Gothic Fairy for the ladies, and a Transformer or Indiana Jones costume for the guys, enjoy the chance to dress up and go out and have some fun.

There are a number of places where you can buy great props. We’ve had a good look around the net and discovered that some stores are stronger in certain Halloween Props and some in other categories of items. So we’ve categorised them in order for your convenience.

One of the best that we have seen for props, perhaps not suprisingly being that they cater for all forms of parties in general is PartyBox.

For specialist Halloween Outfits – including movie oriented outfits like Freddy Krueger, Friday the 13th etc, Joker’s Masquerade wins hands down.

For more cost / budget conscious Halloween Outfits, Silly Jokes is right up your street. They offer a number of more cheap and cheerful general themed Halloween costumes at a price that fits the budget. Just do not expect anything related to actual specific movie characters. Silly Jokes specialise in generic costumes. So if you are really looking for famous horror movie characters, Jokers’ and Angels’ are best for costumes based on specific horror movie characters. In addition to Freddy Kruegar from Nightmare on Elm Street, Jason Voorhies from Friday the 13th, you can also find the likes of Michael Myers’ masks, Ghostbusters outfits, Chucky from Child’s Play etc.

For Halloween Makeup, Joker’s Masquerade is one of the best places to buy online. They even have a section for those that regard themselves as complete Halloween Makeup dummies.

All these places win hands down over somewhere like Amazon. Amazon is a one stop shop, so they are like a lucky dip, whereas these other stores are all specialists in halloween props and other supernatural / horror party items. They know what people want and some actually have physical retail stores directly serving the public.

In fact Jokers’ Masquerade and Angels’ Fancy Dress have been going for a while and both own actual costume stores that you can visit. So you are in great hands with those two when it comes to finding the perfect costume for you. They are proven specialists.

Have a look at around the rest of this site as we take a look at some of the best or very interesting ghoulish products on the market this 31st October. Happy shopping for your Halloween props!

Halloween Decorations - Great Props Ideas

By Halloween Props

Halloween decorations are an essential part of any October 31st event. Exactly what type of Halloween props and decorations you buy will of course depend on whether you want a light and fun themed event, to one with a somewhat supernatural twist, to one that is outright horror, thrills and frights themed. You can decide exactly what kind of atmosphere you would like. In this article we will just look broadly at a range of props that can fit into these categories. And of course you can then do further research to obtain the right props for your party.

Well, you might like to be a proper host of a haunted host and serve up food and drink in Halloween themed crockery. From napkins to shot glasses to snack bowls, the items will all be ghoulishly styled. To accessorise this further you may also like to get some Halloween themed tableware. One of the best types of halloween decorations if you really want to transform a room is to get some scene setter rolls. Made from poly-plastic, these will transform your room for the evening into somewhere like a graveyard, dungeon, haunted house, forest or some other place.

Wall Grabbers look great too. They are lightly backed with an adhesive that is similar to that used on a post-it. So long as the surface is smooth, these Halloween decorations can be stuck on and removed with ease. Place them stretegically, like behind a door so that they take your guests completely by surprise.

Oct 31st would not be the same without a Halloween skeleton or skull. If a human is coming back from the dead, or rather his spirit, then it will usually possess that which is left behind after the flesh has long rotted away – his skeleton.

Bats, Spiders and Rats are of course also staple Halloween props. All creatures of the night, and of course bats are associated as the alternate forms of vampires in some folklore, although quite a few modern interpretations seem to be discarding this particular aspect of a vampire. Spiders represent that classic human fear – apparently from the time of cavemen fearing big furry spders might come out at them in a cave. Whatever, to this day spiders instil fear in many people, especially if they are furry. And of course rats. Not only known for vermin that spread disease but also in History used as a form of torture, rats are very much a part of the Halloween theme. Hanging props. You can get a variety of hanging Halloween decorations. many of those ideas just mentioned will come in hanging variety as well as a number of other ghouls and scary creatures and objects. Limbs. These are very freaky, especially if strategically placed. Seeing a halloween prop of a severed hand, or intenstines or some other body part is grotesque and horrifying. Guaranteed a shriek if you get it right!

Animatronics. Getting something that moves or lights up or speaks is a great way to decorate your event. You can get life size and scaled versions of these props, as well as those that just consist of a body part like a hand, or head. There are many more ideas out these and these are just some of the great Halloween Decorations that are available for you to purchase for your event.
