You may have grown out of trick-or-treating, but think of all the happy memories you made from going house to house with friends and family and going home later to count all your candy and get a sugar high. However, did you know that Halloween started in the 8th century? Back then, it was called All-Hallow’s Eve. This all started because people would dress up in costumes to attempt to scare off wandering spirits. Maybe you should consider putting on a costume to scare away spirits this Halloween! If you have a friend group of 4 or more, then these costumes might interest you. Characters from movies and shows can make great costumes. You can never go wrong with dressing up as your favorite characters. Some iconic movies and shows to choose from are: The Wizard of Oz, Scooby Doo, or even Grease! If you have a friend group of 4 you could all be the main characters in The Wizard of Oz and you could even make “Dorothy” carry a small stuffed dog. A group of 5 could be the Mystery Gang from Scooby Doo. And if you like older movies then the main characters in Grease are always a good option. It could always be fun to be a T-Bird or Pink Lady with some friends. So as long as you have a willing group of friends your group costumes ideas could be endless. If you don’t have enough friends to complete a cast, then couple’s costumes might be the way to go. Beetlejuice is a great movie and the costumes are even better. Beetlejuice and Lydia are an iconic duo and are sure to make great costumes for anyone. Cartoon characters like Wilma and Fred from The Flintstones or Popeye and Oliveoil can always be very original ideas. However; sometimes it’s cool to dress as people from a different time period too. Why not dress as a person from the 60’s, 70’s or even 80’s?!? Ideas for these times would be: hippies, sock-hop girls and boys or punk rockers. When you don’t want a big group, the perfect dynamic duo is good and different time periods are always super cool. If you’re looking to scare off people this Halloween this could be your lucky day. Why not be your favorite horror movie character? You could be an original character like Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, or even Pennywise the Clown! However; if you’d rather be a possessed doll you might consider Chucky or Annabelle. If you’re looking for a classic horror costume that is always a hit then there’s the tried and true costumes of witches, ghosts, and zombies. If you need ideas on these looks, basically, all you have to do is watch some movies or browse the internet and you’ll have flowing ideas on these horror/cult classics. If you’ve ever seen The Office before, then you know Jim Halpert put almost no effort into his costumes. It doesn’t always need to be an elaborate costume to make it a good one. Sometimes, the most basic, no effort costumes can be the best. For example, just write book on your face (FACE-book), tape 3 cutout black holes down your shirt (3 hole punch), or even just get a name tag and write a random name. So even if it’s not a very well thought-through costume, it could still be very comical. So, even if you don’t go trick-or-treating anymore, it could still be a great part of the remainder of your childhood to just dress up with friends and have a Halloween Party. I hope this gave you some ideas as far as what you can do and I hope no matter what you do, you'll be able to have a Spook-Tacular Halloween.
