Halloween Costume Reviews and Buying Guide

Growing up my favorite holiday was Halloween. I always had so much fun dressing up as my favorite superhero or movie character and trick or treating in our neighborhood. Often, one of our neighbors would hold a huge Halloween party so we had another chance to dress up as well. My kids are 8 (daughter) and 4 (son) so I know how fun it is now as a parent to watch my kids enjoy the process. Choosing a Halloween costume can be a tough decision for kids with all the options that exist. The classics are always popular (ghost, clown, witch, goblin, devil, pumpkin, doctor, etc). Kids Halloween costumes are by far and away the cutest each year with children dressed as flowers, dogs, cats, and more. Adult Halloween costumes have come a long way recently with halloween masks that look real, sexy halloween costumes that catch the eye, and halloween props that look authentic. There are several couples that show up with their kids each year dressed as Tarzan and Jane or as a doctor and nurse. Which costume will be the biggest hit of 2009?



You can get all the halloween costume ideas you need by going online to the Amazon.com Halloween superstore where there are costumes, makeup, masks, hats, wigs, shoes, and something for everyone. The halloween costumes for couples are what my wife likes to look and see what she can embarrass me as this year. They even carry pet costumes which I think are a bit silly, but dog owners can't seem to get enough of these items. Part of the fun on Halloween for parents is watching all the little toddlers that come to our door and look so cute. Some of the most popular halloween costumes for toddlers include things like fire fighter, Batman, princess, and pumpkin. When the little guys and gals are all dressed up it doesn't get much better than that. My kids have grown out of the baby costumes, but now my son is totally into Star Wars and this year wants to be either Darth Vader or Yoda. My daughter is completely in love with Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus) and the Jonas Brothers. We are still considering costumes for her - we know as parents that she will probably change her mind another dozen times between now and October 31st. For some the best deals it's always a good idea to shop for Halloween outfits right after the holiday but I understand that always isn't possible given how kids change their minds. Costco has a decent selection along with WalMart and Target does a good job of keeping a large inventory on hand for the top selling outfits. RECOMMENDED - We suggest shopping online at Amazon.com since they carry all the latest Halloween costumes and often have the LOWEST PRICES on the internet. You can browse their top selling Halloween outfits and accessories online here. They have full on owner reviews for the costumes and plenty of sizes to choose from. Get the most popular items for girls, boys, adults, and babies.

Best Halloween Costumes:

I find myself being invited to more and more Halloween parties each year - many are strictly for adults to have a good time. Over the past 3 or 4 years I have purchased (or borrowed) quite a few cheap costumes so I have something to wear to these events. The most popular womens Halloween costumes include a witch, maid, cheerleader, and sexy nurse. For men, you will find costumes like a gorilla, Batman, vampire, pimp, pirate, and doctor. Adult costumes are often more than kids because they include accessory items and are more detailed. In any event, we found that Amazon.com has the largest selection online that we could find and prices were very competitive versus traditional costume stores. Use your imagination to put together your own outfit and perhaps make it if you can. It's not that hard to scrap together a few items to be a witch or a pirate. Makeup goes a long way to really transform the way you look.

Halloween Costumes for Kids

Let's face it, Halloween is designed for kids with candy being handed out after dark and the opportunity to wear your favorite dress-up outfit for the day. Don't be afraid to spend a little on a kids halloween costume since they tend to wear them much more than just on Halloween. We have an entire closet full of costumes that are played with several times a year. Some of the most popular girls costumes are Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, Princess Leia from Star Wars, a cat or your basic witch outfit. When it comes to the boys costumes, things seem to get over the top with items like the Anakin Skywalker Costume, an astronaut suit, or the Harry Potter robe. SpongeBob Squarepants is a favorite of mine along with the classic Spiderman outfit that almost all boys love to wear.
