It’s almost Halloween and it has to be the one time of year where you can go all out. Really let yourself go, you have so many options that they are truly endless. You can choose from ghastly, scary, mysterious, sexy, celebrity look-alikes, fictional characters, animals, you name it, the sky really is the limit when it comes to finding the best Halloween costumes for 2009.
The hardest part of the Halloween costume is making the decision of what or who you want to be. Don’t let anything stop you, be adventurous, daring and original. This is a time to literally let your imagination and creativity run wild. Do you like traditional Halloween costumes or maybe you are thinking of dressing up as a character from a favorite movie?
If you are more of a traditionalist, here are some ideas; ghosts, scarecrows, pirates, tramps, vampires, skeletons, princesses, doctors or monsters to name a few. And then there are always the many creative things made out of cardboard boxes each year, like toasters, televisions, robots, computers, microwaves, and cars or trucks.
Whether you choose to go with a famous celebrity or movie character, your options are endless. Just make sure you choose someone that people will recognize, it’s always better if they know who you are rather than having to tell everyone. Two of the biggest costumes being talked about for Halloween 2009 are, of course, Michael Jackson and the characters from the movie Twilight. With makeup available these days, I’m hoping to see some amazing Twilight vampires.
But let’s not forget all-time favorite superheroes and villains like Spiderman, Batman and Robin, The Incredible Hulk, Iron man, Dart Vader, The Joker, The Penguin and of course Superman!
If you’re going to a party with a group and everyone doesn’t know what to be, you can always go as a group of superheroes or supervillains.
Once the big decision is made, the next thing is to decide where to buy everything. In most major cities, there are Halloween costume stores that carry a wide selection of costumes along with makeup, wigs, masks, hats, and other hard-to-find accessories to complete each costume.
Since last year I have become a huge fan of online Halloween websites. You can find some of the hardest to find costumes and accessories at these wonderful online stores. The stores are extremely easy to navigate and make available the latest hottest Halloween costumes that everyone is looking for.
The key to finding the best Halloween costumes for 2009 is to start early! Remember, Halloween isn’t just for kids, it’s also for the kid in all of us. Have fun and enjoy this special moment, make this one of the Halloween you will never forget!
