likely to fall out of the freak-wave that surges through all and
sundry during Halloween ! Of course you’ve heard about getting
dressed to kill, but here it’s time to dress to thrill. The
funkier and freakier your Halloween costume, the more the fun

Halloween. Demands for the kookiest Halloween costumes go

Halloween. Greeting cards and Halloween decorating props also
witness record sale figures along with Halloween party supplies
and Halloween costumes. Halloween props from the grooviest to
the wildest, offbeat to the upbeat—hit the shelves at all stores
all over. Many tradesmen space out their shops to accommodate

aliens unleash before you as Halloween fever takes over with a
ghastly intensity. It’s even more thrill to keep guessing who’s
who because you never know what surprise Halloween costume your

you’re under the impression that Halloween costumes mean just
the scary vampires and ghosts, you got to note this. Halloween
costumes and masks have a whopping range and can be anything
under the sun that grabs the attention. It can be anything from
Frankenstein to Porky Pig, killer wolves to goofy clowns, Tom
Cruise to Scooby Doo, dancing dolls to wacko witches, black cats
to batman, honeybees to a bag of beans and so on. There’s no
bound to choosing your Halloween costume; whatever fits your
whim would do good.
But what do people do in these Halloween costumes ? Answer is
simple—bewitch ! Either in a party or just going about in the
neighborhood with a whole bunch, the idea is to bewitch all and
charm looker-ons in unwonted Halloween gears. Some even go
haunting about a haunted house with their folks, while some
others spend a romantic Halloween night with their spookhearts.
Now let’s get down to some kooky costume ideas for your
Halloween:
Play A
Ghost !
The most common and easy-to-do Halloween costume—cover yourself
with a white sheet and cut out holes for eyes and mouth. Other
colors would also do; who said ghosts can’t be colorful ? You
can deck this one up more with red-colored spray paints or may
be with a crooked hat.
Go
Ghoulish !
Get some macabre Halloween masks and spruce up the rest in
keeping with the face you choose to give yourself. You can go
for wolf masks or monster masks if you’re planning to look
scary. Alternatively, you can preen in celebrity Halloween masks
or go for masks replicating your favorite cartoon character in
order to give your Halloween costume a funny touch.
Old Is
Gold !
You can even choose a classic Halloween costume in antiquity
theme—may be wigs, tattoos, headbands and other accessories
which belong to older times.
Paint It
Scary !
If you’ve had enough of Halloween masks and the Halloween props
for some years now, do something different this time. Paint your
face ! You can choose to look either horrific or funny—but
giving a face to yourself is going to be fun for sure. So be a
Dr. Jekyll or a Mr. Hyde—the choice is yours !
Fool
Around !
Now as you perhaps already know, humor works well for all
occasions and ages. And it’s just as much thrill giving your
folks a good laugh as it’s giving them a good scare. So this
Halloween, make your Halloween mask or the entire Halloween
costume a little goofy. Dress up as a pack of popcorn, a bag of
jellybeans or may be as a yummy jumbo burger ! You can also
strut around as a plump pumpkin or a cool snowman. Make yourself
look as funny as you can so that everyone breaks into a wide
grin the moment they see you in your outlandish Halloween
costume !
Prop Up
The Poise !
Sometimes you may feel that the Halloween masks aren’t just
enough to conjure up the right effect for a night as groovy as
Halloween ! So then, would you sit and crib ? Of course not !
Just prop up your Halloween with the screamingly freaky
Halloween props like body parts, tombstones, blood-stained axes,
broomsticks, broken fences, distortion mirrors, detachable
brains and hearts, batty wings, fog machines, bleeding knives
and much more. These innovative Halloween props add that extra
spooky touch to your Halloween celebrations.
Top Of The
Pop !
If there’s a pop idol in your life, someone whom you ardently
worship and look up to, Halloween is one night when you can get
to be ‘D-pop star’ of your choice. Let your favorite pop icon be
your Halloween costume this year. And if you’ve taken a popular
face, act up the attitude too ! Now, with the right face and
attitude, you can sure keep your folks guessing who you actually
are !
So it’s this thrill and suspense in having a real chic Halloween
guise is what contributes heavily to the growing popularity of
Halloween costumes, masks and Halloween props. It’s great fun
guessing who’s under the masks and boggling your loved ones with
head-turning Halloween costumes ! But you always have a choice
with this. If you don’t like the idea of slipping into some
Michael Myers persona or quack like a Donald Duck, you can keep
away from masks and costumes and still be a part of this entire
Halloween jamboree with specially designed Halloween headbands,
neckbands, earrings, bangles or even spooky Halloween tattoos.
Halloween costume ideas are there in plenty—the more innovative
you are, the more the fun. So take your pick, choose your
Halloween gear and get dressed for a real freak show this
Halloween !
