College is a time to grow, to learn, to study. It's also one of the few times in life where people from every field of study are together on the same campus. Keep that in mind this fall as focus inevitably shifts to that one all important decision: “What am I going to be for Halloween?” Don’t overthink it! Show off your discipline in a fun and festive costume. After all, you’re already spending every waking hour immersed in your field of study. Don’t let all that knowledge go to waste! Get a few of your friends together and impress your classmates and your professors and with these themed costumes for each field of study.

The four major figures of British, American, French, and Italian history might seem like odd bedfellows, but not to you. You can name the six wives of England’s King Henry VIII and how they died (divorced-beheaded-died-divorced-beheaded-survived). You cannot tell a lie, George Washington is the best president. Armed with the knowledge that at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender (and not just thanks to ABBA). Et tu, Caesar? This costume combination will make you the envy of your history department.

Scarecrow Costume - Shop     Cowardly Lion Costume - Shop

For the last time, YES film studies is a real subject. NO you don’t just sit there and watch movies in class. In fact, you would be happy to enlighten your classmates on the works of Kurosawa, Truffaut, and Fillini. You can explain away the differences between a jump cut and a smash cut. And now you can recreate the making of one of the greatest films of Hollywood’s Golden Age.  

Stop laughing. The Wizard of Oz is a work of serious filmmaking.

No, you won’t sing “We’re off to see the wizard.” For the last time…

Fine. “RAAAAWR.”

Halloween Costumes for

the Criminal Justice Major

Cop Costume - Shop     CSI Costume - Shop     Judge Costume - Shop     Prisoner Costume - Shop

We hope we've give you some killer ideas for your Halloween costume and gotten you excited for the festivities! Did we miss your major? What themed costume ideas have you done in the past? Take a look at all of our costumes for guys for more inspiration. Share in the comments below and we’ll take the best suggestions and add them to a future blog!

In January 2016, the world lost David Bowie, one of the most loved, creative, and inspiring individuals of all time. To call him just a musician would leave out all his memorable fashion looks. To call him just a rock star wouldn’t do justice to his acting career. From Labyrinth to Zoolander, from Hunky Dory to Ziggy Stardust, David Bowie left an impression wherever he went and whatever he did. To pay homage to his many iconic looks, we've picked one of our favorites to turn into a DIY Halloween costume. We went with his blue suit and orange hair combo in the "Life on Mars?" video. See below for all the details!

DIY David Bowie Costume

Of all the looks, why did we go with the "Life on Mars?" outfit? It was a very tough decision, but the striking, ice blue suit with matching eyeshadow, platform boots, and fiery orange hair won us over. Maybe next time we'll pull together a Goblin King outfit or recreate the cover of Alladin Sane with the iconic lightning bolt. The video was released in 1973, but the outfit remains memorable to this day.   

The Finished Product

"It's a god-awful small affair / to the girl with the mousy hair."

For a look so eye-catching, it was fairly easy to put together! The main item, of course, is a blue tuxedo and half an hour or so to apply some amazing makeup. While it doesn't sound so classy and artistic to say, the suit is actually one of our Dumb and Dumber costumes! The boots are loaned from another famous musician: these are our KISS rock and roll platform boots.

Products Used

Joker Wig - Shop     Clown Makeup Kit - Shop     Black, Red, & White Electrical Tape      White Tie - Shop

Baby Blue Tux - Shop     KISS Starchild Boots - Shop     Orange Hairspray - Shop      70s Housewife Wig - Shop

So, just a few items of crafting! One, to get the most accurate looking boots to match his kicks in the video, we went at those big boys with some black gaffer tape. Be sure to leave a little stripe of silver in there! Two, still in the mood for tape? COOL! Grab red and white and add one line each on the tie to match the video. Easy. Done. Then... makeup and hair! We have a full makeup tutorial below (phew!), but for the hair you have two choices. There's the red joker wig that's the right color, but wrong cut. Aaaaaand the Carol Brady, which is the right cut, but wrong color. You pick your pony, guys. We ended up going with the blonde wig, cutting the top up a bit for that delicious mullet style, and spraying it down with orange color.

"But the film is a saddening bore / for she's lived it ten times or more."

David Bowie Cosplay Inspiration

Like we've mentioned above, there are about a million and one outfits and style that come to mind when you mention David Bowie. We wish we could, but we just don't have the time to recreate all of our favorites. Here are some cosplay and costume inspiration pictures we've found online from Halloweens and conventions past.

Which is your favorite David Bowie look? Do you know anyone or are you yourself paying tribute to the Starman this Halloween? Please share with us in the comments, we'd love to see. You can see all of our celebrity and music costumes here, too, if Bowie isn't your pick for the season.

We've all seen it. The amazing, unforgettable online videos shared on Facebooks and nightly news segments alike: a person (maybe?) in a giant inflatable Tyrannosaurus Rex costume, cavorting and jumping around town, seemingly unaware of any onlookers around them. This trend is an awesome one, and one we're kind of bummed to admit that we didn't come up with on our own. T. rex's are long extinct, so who's to say that the dinosaurs didn't enjoy playing soccer or going bowling on the weekends? (Scientists? Paleontologists?! Ross Gellar?! Pssh. Prove it.) If you're like us and LOVE these viral videos of inflatable T. rex's going about their business amidst unsuspecting humans, this blog post is for you. Here are favorite instances of T-Rex's in the mainstream; pop culture moments of inflatable, unadulterated bliss.

1. T. Rex Playing Basketball

For years, the mascot of the NBA's Toronto Raptors has cracked up the internet with this one perfect gif.

2. T. Rex on a Bouncy Castle

Last year, a T. Rex costume became available to the masses. All hell broke loose online as T. Rexes started playing in bouncy castles.

3. T. Rex on a Horse

T. Rexes rode horseback... WHILST PLAYING SOCCER!

4. T. Rex Going Bowling

There were even funny pictures of a T. Rex strike. (Get it?)

5. T. Rexes at an Baseball Game

The MLB got a surprise when they saw this set of dinos in the crowd.

6. T. Rex at the Gym

When your workout gets the best of you.....

7. T. Rex Homecoming Queen

That's a video of the Homecoming Queen of a Colorado high school being announced. Later that evening, the candidate went on to win the crown (in her dino-costume).

The Homecoming T-Rex Queen's yellow tutu and red sash got us thinking. Now that the T. Rex costume is everywhere, what other accoutrement can you add to the prehistoric look? First: You need the costume. (Heck yes, we stock it. See above.) Next: ACCESSORIZE! May we humbly suggest drawing inspiration from this redditor:

Tiara - Shop   Hula Skirt - Shop    Star Wand - Shop     Pink Butterfly Wings - Shop

There's an ocean of opportunity to dress up like a T. rex dressed up like something else! A T. rex cowboy. A T. rex astronaunt. Go licensed and see if you can concoct a Darth Rex or maybe a time-travelling time lord Dino named Doctor Rex. You could go back to the actual TIME of dinosaurs and really freak them out. Send us your best photos and we'll make sure to feature you on our blog or Facebook page! Not a huge Tyrannosaurus Rex fan? We have more dinosaur costumes for everyone!

Maybe one day, shoud be be lucky, you may even achieve T-Rex nirvana...

Mom and Dad of Ainsley Turner -- a.k.a. the “Hot Dog Princess” -- you both deserve a high five! In a world filled to the brim with little princesses-in-training, it’s refreshing when you happen upon a trailblazer – like a hot dog at her dance school’s dress up recital. The bold ballerina from North Carolina blew up the internet this summer with her unique approach to the class’ assignment. Embracing her individuality, Ainsley performed tendu fronts and pliés in full hot-off-the-grill regalia! Best of all, her dad proudly proclaimed that the entire thing was her idea. In short: The Hot Dog Princess rules in the kingdom of costumes!

Hot Dog Princess Costume

Now, we’ve got nothing against princesses. As a matter of fact, if you added up all the princess costumes we sell each year (from Elsa to Ariel, and every Disney royal in between), they’d likely beat any other costume category for little girls. And there is a lot to be said for the pomp and circumstance of a twirly skirt and crown – like that this type of dress-up play can help empower young girls to try new activities or speak up about sensitive subjects (we even know a clever mom who used these coveted layers of tulle and taffeta – with great success – to potty train). Plus, they’re seriously pretty. (Read: BRING ON THE FROUF!) It’s just hard not to adore such a secure little lady! She dared to be different at an age when a girl, typically, tries to gain acceptance by “fitting in.” Want to join our favorite tiny dancer in encased meat solidarity this Halloween? Here’s how to get her social norm-busting look (with a little extra flair to emphasize the reference):

Scepter - Shop     Hot Dog Costume - Shop     Tiara - Shop

Zombie Hot Dog Costume

Hot Dog Costume - Shop     Zombie Rot Tattoo - Shop     Black Leggings - Shop

Possessed Veins Tattoo - Shop   Sexy Zombie High Heels - Shop     Bloody Cleaver - Shop

“Ugh, I don’t want to wave a scepter around all night! Where are the guts and gore? It’s Halloween for pumpkin’s sake!” Uh oh, we can tell that you’re a next level type of costume wearer. (And we love that!) You’re absolutely right. There’s no reason to pretend to be songbird sweet when you really prefer to take a walk on the dark side. Let’s zombie-fy this Hot Dog Princess costume! All you have to do is remember to dress to distress. Start with your hot dog costume and tear/tatter or strategically rip the hem for a fresh-from-the-grave appearance. Continue by using a black marker to create “stitch” marks on the bun (it will be easier to see). Give your leggings an undead makeover by adding small holes and allowing the fabric to run. Of course makeup is key, and we’re really digging these face tattoos. (They will get you looking the part in a flash!) Oh yeah, and you can trade in that scepter for a bloody butcher’s knife because, hey, zombies rule with fear, not sparkles and magic spells.

Beauty and the Beast Costume

Beauty Costume - Shop     Clawdeen Wig - Shop   Yellow Gloves - Shop     Werewolf Teeth - Shop

Is it possible to be distinctive without an overall theme in mind? YES! Remember that scene in Mean Girls when Cady came to the costume party dressed like a zombie bride? She definitely stood out in the sea of sexy animals (“I’m a mouse, duh!”). Actually, if we’re being honest, Cady is our costume mash-up inspiration! Costume mash-ups are always a hit because you can pretty much guarantee that no one else is going to be Séyoncé (Beyoncé meets fortune teller). One of our favorites happens to revisit our princess theme: Beauty and the Beast … except it’s all in one awesome ensemble. Begin with Belle’s iconic gold dress and then splatter some blood on it (give it a few rips for good measure – you’re hulkin’ out, after all). Apply werewolf makeup (and gold contact lenses if you’re a real overachiever), pointy ears and clawed “evening gloves” (we chopped the fingers off of our basic elbow-length gloves and did a yellow manicure with black crackle polish over the top) – bonus points for the lady who dons a pair of sharp chompers. It can be a dude deterrent (not to mention a drink deterrent), but you’ll undoubtedly be a walking photo op.

School of Rock Costume

School Girl Costume - Shop     Black Metallic Sheen Leggins - Shop

Leather Mary Janes Shoes - Shop   Inflatable Guitar - Shop

Still not finding inspiration for a costume that is uniquely you? Take our costume mash-up idea and put your own spin on it! Are you a vampire fiction fan by day and a DJ by night? Try pairing a classic vampire costume with headphones and glow-in-the-dark nail polish. Perhaps you enjoy animation and kitten YouTube videos. Sounds like “Popeye the Sailor Cat” (Popeye’s forearms + Sailor Moon costume + cat ears and whiskers) could be coming soon to a shindig near you! We thought one of our teacher friends had an awesome idea that fit into this category: She slings Shakespeare from 9 to 3, and then plays the bass in her band from 10 ‘til midnight (except on school nights) – so she went the “school of rock” route. A plaid schoolgirl skirt, topped off with her band’s t-shirt, set the stage for amazing presence. She then put her hair in pigtails (held by skull bows for a rockstar vibe) and strapped a guitar to her back. Whenever someone would stop to ask what she was, she’d start playing songs from Schoolhouse Rock. For a look all your own, the sky’s the limit! Simply channel your inner-Ainsley and think outside of the castle.

Jokes on Batman Costume

Batman Costume - Shop     The Joker Wig & Makeup Kit - Shop    Utility Belt -Shop

Giant "BANG" Gun - Shop     The Joker Cane - Shop

Guys, we haven’t forgotten about you! We know that for every Hot Dog Princess there is an Iron Man-kini (Iron Man helmet + Borat’s “mankini”) or Marty McFly (denim shirt + orange puffer vest + fly sunglasses + wings) just waiting to strut his stuff -- you’re no straight-outta-the-package Avenger! You’ve got style. Panache. Swagger, even. You know what else you’ve got? YEARS of built-up costume pieces from ghosts of girlfriends past. You once were the Romeo to “her” Juliet. The Mario to Princess Peach. The Adam to Eve. Compile all of the evidence parts and take stock. We’re betting you have everything you need to do a “good vs. evil” character. C’mon, you can do better than devil horns and angel wings! Why so serious? How about “Joke’s on Batman?” (In honor of Ben Affleck’s portrayal, naturally.) To a full face of Heath Ledger’s Joker makeup, combine the caped crusader’s signature cowl and hood. From there, you decide whether it’s going to be Batman’s gauntlets or the Joker’s gloves. Purple suit or muscled jumpsuit, or better yet, purple painted muscle jumpsuit. You get the idea – make it your own.

Hot Dog Princess really is the mascot for the spirit of Halloween because celebrating the holiday is not solely about pranks and candy (though, we DO love mass quantities of peanut butter cups). Sassy, silly, scary -- The real meaning of Halloween is that you can be anything you want, if only for one night (or dance recital). So the next time you feel like your costume isn’t enough, revisit HDP’s story for encouragement and inspiration. She’ll remind you that above all: Be bold. Be a trendsetter. Be a hot dog.

Once a year, teachers get to lower the veil between responsible educator and the dirty little fun-havers that they are in real life (or “IRL” as the kids say). But you’re a teacher, and therefore know how to stick to a budget, so shelling out big bucks for a costume just isn’t going to happen. You want a disguise that’s easy, comfortable, appropriate, unique, AND that won’t dip too much into your “Wine While Grading Papers” fund. Well, you’ve come to the right place! We’ve rounded up the best costumes for teachers, and even separated them by specialty … though, if we’re keeping it real, all teachers collectively specialize in one thing: witty comebacks for, “What? I’m just texting my mom!”Hold on to your seats, blackboard bandits– costume school is now in session. 

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER COSTUMES

Miss Frizzle Costume - Shop   Crayon Costume - Shop   Kool-Aid Costume - Shop

Rock, Paper, Scissors Costume - Shop     Cookie Costume - Shop     Sun Costume - Shop

To those who think ring leading Kindergartners seems like SO MUCH FUN, teachers ask: Have you ever had to dislodge a broken crayon from a child’s nose? It isn’t pretty. However, grade school educators usually look at these experiences like “The Frizz” from The Magic School Bus… “Take chances, make mistakes, get messy.” We created the galaxy-themed, Ms. Frizzle dress with these educators in mind.Are you more of a big kid yourself? Items kids are familiar with tend to be instantly hilarious when a teacher dresses up as one of them. Take the aforementioned crayon, for example. There’s nothing funny about a crayon by itself, but it becomes silly when a giant one encapsulates an authority figure! Other oversized favorites that’ll tickle their funny bones include: Food (Kool-Aid Man never fails to impress), planets, and brand personalities (those M&M’s are definite giggle inducers). 

LIBRARIAN COSTUMES

Little Red Riding Hood Costume - Shop   Cat in the Hat Costume - Shop   Raggedy Andy Costume - Shop

Big Bad Wolf Costume - Shop   Big Blue Ox Costume - Shop

The kids know how to read? Well, then you’ve already done a great job! And along the way, your students have likely met their fair share of characters – but nothing brings them to life quite like you do. Not only are you “the voice” when the stories are being read aloud in class, but now you can actually free these characters from their paper prisons and BECOME them! For the mischief-makers, there’s Cat in the Hat. Mother Goose always has a tale to tell. Little Red Riding Hood, Mad Hatter, Babe the Blue Ox, Raggedy Andy, and even Bo Peep’s Sheep– if they exist in a storybook, the matching ensembles are never more than a click away. 

GEOGRAPHY TEACHER COSTUMES

Where's Waldo Costume - Shop   Carmen Sandiego Costume - Shop   Doctor Who Costume - Shop

Astronaut Costume - Shop   Marty McFly Future Costume - Shop

Okay, so a lot of your lesson plans focus on the placement of fifty, nifty United States, but Geography class is also responsible for adult-onset wanderlust – you shape the minds of dreamers, adventurers, and travelers! Where’s Waldo? and CarmenSandiego are guaranteed to strike a nostalgic cord, but you could also play with the notion of travel. Space travel, time travel, TIME AND SPACE travel – all characters that open the doors to possibility are all great choices for masters of the maps!

HISTORY TEACHER COSTUMES

Abe Lincoln Costume - Shop   Julius Caesar Costume - Shop   Cowboy Costume - Shop

Joan of Arc Costume - Shop   Napoleon Bonaparte Costume - Shop

George Washington again? Gee, no one saw that coming. Besides, we’re still kind of miffed that all the cherry tree drivel you sold us as kids was a fib (though we are less bitter about that than Pluto’s fall from planetary grace).Your students are expecting a historical figure, but why not give them an excellent history lesson ala Bill and Ted?!Being a ‘WyldStallyn” isn’t for everyone (definitely not English teachers), but we’re betting you might still have some beat up Chucks and a pair of well-worn black jorts in the back of your closet somewhere. Find a Bill S. Preston, Esquire and you have a really fun buddy costume. “Can you tell me where we might find some personages of historical significance?” Convince the entire department (or involve other departments if necessary) to recreate Bill and Ted’s “historical runway.” Abe Lincoln, Joan of Arc, and Napoleon were notable standouts, but you can add in as many as you deem necessary to crank the “EPIC costume meter” up to 11! 

SCIENCE TEACHER COSTUMES

Doctor Costume - Shop   Doctor Jekyll Costume - Shop   Doc Brown Costume - Shop

Albert Einstein Costume - Shop   Iron Man Costume - Shop   Walter White Costume - Shop

Honestly, scientists have gotten a bad rep from pop culture. If you’re not slinging corpse parts to assemble and reanimate a Franken-man in your basement, then you’re a meth-lab-on-wheels owner ala Walter White from Breaking Bad. Sounds like the “creative types” have a little intellectual jealousy, if you ask us. Oh well, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em– besides, there’s no better place than school to let your nerd flag fly! A lab coat and a wild wig instantly transforms you into Albert Einstein the same way powered armor makes you Iron Man … And while Iron Man is “technically” a nerd, he’s also a superhero scientist! This would also be a good place to note: To date, there are no “quarterback superheroes” in the Marvel Universe. 

ENGLISH TEACHER COSTUMES

Luna Lovegood Costume - Shop   Katniss Everdeen Costume - Shop    Gandalf Costume - Shop

Lord Voldemort Costume - Shop   Juliet Costume - Shop

As a wielder of words, it’s no doubt that you are taking “finding the perfect Halloween costume for school” very seriously. Communication is kinda your thing, and you want to let the world know just how entertaining you are! The Harry Potter series is an instant muse, but you may not be “art teacher” enough to pull off Mrs. Trelawny. No problem! Minerva McGonagall has a special place in every kid’s heart. Tall, dark and mysterious – sure you are, Voldemort! From Hermione to Dobby, The School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has seemingly endless possibilities.Hold up, do you hear that? It’s Rue’s Whistle calling! Katniss Everdeen serves up a little edge … and is, unsurprisingly, very effective at keeping students in line (expert archery skills will do that). Of course, whatever you do, don’t leave out the classics! Romeo and his Juliet, Jacob Marley, Hester Prynne, Jay Gatsby, and Daisy Buchanan – they all stand the test of time and are great investment pieces. Buy a really good Gatsby-style costume now, and wear it several times throughout your career.  

THE REST OF THE FACULTY

Didn’t see your department in our lineup? Don’t worry, we didn’t forget about you! Some types of teachers just take a little more coaxing to come out of their shells. Here are our suggestions for everyone else with VIP access to the teacher’s lounge:

Math teacher: Count von Count Costume - Shop     Government: Stars and Stripes Suit - Shop

No matter which subject you teach, or whom you teach it to, Halloween presents the opportunity to build a connection with your students. Simply put: Let your hair down, and get into the spirit of the season! CALLING ALL TEACHERS: What are you going to be this Halloween? Let us know in the comments below – we love getting new ideas from you.

When using that cranium of yours to brainstorm what to dress as for the quickly approaching Halloween holiday, many people choose to use their own best features and accentuate them. Whether it’s your strong muscles - in which you must find a sleeveless costume - or it’s your long, curly blonde locks that can’t possibly be covered by a wig or a hat accessory. We all have personal features and attributes about ourselves that our costumes must stem from and in this case it’s your round, shiny, noggin. Now, this isn’t any ol’ noggin, it’s yours. Unique and different than the bald guy’s next to you. Let this forum be your guide as a helpful tool and level of baldness determiner so you can achieve that one of a kind costume!

evil ideas

Heroes are cool and all, but word around the lair is, villains have more fun. 

lord voldemort Halloween Costume

Harry Potter Wand - Shop     White Body Paint - Shop

Voldemort Hands - Shop    Voldemort Costume - Shop

To start out the guide on an evil note and breaking the rules a bit, we might as well name He Who Shall Not Be Named: Lord Voldemort.  For you bald Harry Potter fans out there, you’re probably freaking out at the mention of his name, but hey, there are limited costumes for your baldness, so consider it. This DIY costume is pretty simple (actually all of them are), but luckily an exact replica of his cloak is available straight from our hearts to yours. Give yourself some hybrid witch/werewolf hands and slap a wand in them and, BOOM, Lord Voldemort. Don’t forget to apply a thin layer of white face/body paint to your entire face and neck to really give people the creeps.

dr. evil Halloween Costume

Black Tux Shoes - Shop      High School Class Ring - Shop      Deluxe Adult Gray Suit - Shop

Now, in our opinion, our next candidate is one of our all-time favorites. The infamous Dr. Evil from the Austin Powers movies has swept the nation and can easily be recognized by anyone and everyone. Find yourself a square shouldered gray suit, a flashy pinky ring, and some black dress shoes. Sport that dashing pinky finger near and dear to your pursed lips all night long and once again you’ve conquered the quest of having the best costume out of your friends, while being bald!

dr. evil 2.0

*attutude required for this next costume*

Cotton White T-Shirt - Shop      Purple Bandana - Shop      Men's Black Pants - Shop

Furthermore, we’re not quite done with impersonating a doable DIY of Dr. Evil. We call this second version, Dr. Evil’s alter ego, or just him experiencing a rough patch in his life. Styled in a simple blue collared shirt buttoned only on top, a classic white tee, and a light purple bandana tied nice and tight, you’re outfit is all set accompanied by your bare noodle up top. Feel free to grab your child and replicate a Mini Me version while playing your necessary sound track for the night, Hard Knock Life. Your costume will be off the charts. Out of this world. Liquid hot magma.

cartoon ideas

These next group of costumes need a little more TLC. And by TLC we mean the additional step of face paint or body paint to achieve an overall, exact look.

homer simpson Halloween Costume

Yellow Morph Suit - Shop      Donut Flask - Shop      Cotton White T-Shirt - Shop

Lion Face Makeup - Shop      Blue Pants - Shop      The Simpsons Homer Simpson costume - Shop

Our first character in this category is our beloved Homer Simpson from The Simpsons. If you’re both a family man and don’t mind grasping a beer can in your hand all evening long, then continue reading. A first helpful step if you’re not into full body art like some, grab yourself a yellow morph suit that will transform your skin tone into a fabulous, florescent Simpson hue. Now that your base step is accomplished, slide into a white polo and blue pants along with some black shoes. Your outfit part of this transformation is now complete. Upwards and onwards to focus on the classic Homer Simpson mug. You can forget about adding a pop-out like muzzle to your mouth area (brownie points to you if you create this look, or should we say donut points). Begin by coloring your entire face and neck; don’t forget to paint your perfectly bare think tank! Next, leave a circle around your mouth bare skinned to replicate Homer’s unique mouth.  Carefully paint white circles around your eyes to make them appear large like Homer's. Voila! Pair this look with a donut flask and you’re set for the evening. Mmm, donut.

shrek Halloween Costume

Shrek Deluxe Adult Costume - Shop      Inflatable Lollipop - Shop      Men's Black Dress Shoes - Shop

Shrek Hands - Shop      Fiona Adult Costume - Shop      Green Face Makeup - Shop

Another gentle giant similar to Homer Simpson is Shrek! He’s bald and has weird ears but, hey, what did we say about having limited options? This complete Shrek look should be paired with plaid trousers, a white rugged long sleeve t-shirt, and a vest and belt. Give yourself large ogre hands to guarantee yourself the biggest scoops of candy and go to town again on that green face paint! Or stay at the swamp, either or.

gru and minions HalloweEn Costumes

Fake Dynamite - Shop      Adult Black Boots - Shop      Slytherin Scarf - Shop      Adult Gru Costume - Shop

Adult Minion Costume - Shop      Adult Black Gloves - Shop      Cybersteam Goggles Silver - Shop

Men's Black Dress Shoes - Shop

If you have a bald best friend as well, pay attention to this next dynamic duo. There is nothing more lovable than a cute, little Minion.  And everyone who has seen Despicable Me knows that Gru is a big softy inside. This is where you and your best bud come into play. You might need to toss the ol’ rock, paper, scissors game between the two of you when deciding who is who, but regardless which character you end up being, both have perks. For Gru, pair your smoothly shaven skull with a pair of black pants, black shoes, gray pull-over sweater, and a gray striped scarf. Hold some dynamite and (light bulb!) you’re Gru! As for being a Minion, a crisp pair of blue overalls, again with that fluorescent yellow morph suit, and some killer specs and your costume is as good as gold! Literally.

    *mic drop*

Charlie brown Halloween Costume

Charlie Brown Polo Shirt - Shop      Brown Tux Shoes - Shop

Yellow Socks - Shop      Men's Black Pants - Shop

Who doesn't love the classic Charlie Brown. He fits perfectly into the category even though he’s much younger than the rest of the characters featured. Slip into a yellow polo, much similar in style to Charlie’s black zig-zag ensemble, wear black pants, bright yellow socks, and some brown shoes. Leave that baldness up above to pull the rest of the costume together!

additional / Minimalistic ideas

Lex Luther | Professor X | Capt. Picard, Star Trek Command Uniform - Shop | Riddick | Uncle Fester

Finally, If you're seeking extreme minimalism, these options above are for you. Professor X wears a suit, along with Lex Luther. A simple sleevless shirt and killer shades for Riddick. Also, get a Capt. Picard Star Trek uniform or find yourself a cozy sweater for Uncle Fester from The Addams Family. That's about it, pretty minimalistic.

other baldies

Avatar: The Last Airbender | Mr. Burns - Shop | Mr. Clean | Mr. Monopoly - Shop 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle - Shop | Walter White | Popeye - Shop | Elmer Fudd

Out of all the options listed here, you’re bound to find a costume fit right for you; after all you’ve got the baldness underway.  As for that, make sure to leave us pics or tell us which costume you’re head over heels for most! Happy Halloween! And don't forget our favorite bald character of them all... George Costanza!

Ever wonder how your favorite alien species from pop culture stack up against each other? We like to imagine just what would go down if they would happen to cross franchises and go toe-to-toe with a species from another movie or TV series. Like, what would happen if Alf waltzed onto the set of Sesame Street and started sizing up Gonzo? (Hint: Alf has the height advantage.) Or what if old school sci-fi aliens faced off, like The Man from Planet X versus the mutant from This Island Earth? We're not sure what would be the bigger advantage, the glass helmet or super-sized brain!? And when it comes to the action packed sci-fi on the big screen, there's all kinds of heavy duty - and terrifying - creatures that could ruin anyone's day. The arachnid bugs from Starship Troopers, the terrifying xenomorphs from Alien, the rancor from Return of the Jedi, or even the the straight up meanies fromID4... well, we hope we never come to face to face with something the likes of them. 

The question remains, though, just how would they measure up against each other in the height department? Well, wonder no more, because our crack research team combed the internet to find the true heights (or highly educated guesses...) of a ton of the all-time most iconic species across TV and film history. Of course, with the breadth of material, we couldn't include all species, so we settled on picking out the most iconic non-human species, along with some all-time staff favorites, to round out lineup on our infographic. So, whether you spend you downtime thinking about Science Fiction and could use a handy alien fact sheet or even if you need a guide to help you pick out the right costume for your intergalactic themed Halloween fun, we are proud to present the internet's most definitive alien height chart!

If you are anything like the crew at HalloweenCostumes.com, there’s around an eight-hour gap missing from your life in the middle of last July. What happened in those hours? Well, friends, Stranger Things happened. On July 15^th, 2016, Netflix launched the entire first season of their original show, an 80s-influenced sci-fi series that featured a group of D&D-playing middle schoolers, an alcoholic police chief, a psychokinetic little girl named after a number, and an internet fan-favorite named Barb. There’s so much to love about Stranger Things– the music, the characters, the nods and homages to all of our favorite creepy movies growing up, Steve… – so, it’s no wonder that this show is one of the biggest costume trends of the year. We obviously wanted to play along, but we knew we had to do something a little outside the box to compete with the other super creative cosplays out there. So we decided to start from the beginning…

*spoilers in this post!*

DIY Stranger Things Logo Costume

The second that the first glowing red letter hit the screen, we knew that the opening credits for Stranger Things were going to be something special. Part of it reminded us of Stephen King and part of it reminded us of The Thing; altogether, it was a perfect recreation of all things retro-spooky. So, of course, our first thought was… “That HAS to be a costume.” We started drafting up plans for a glowing, moving, group costume version of the Stranger Things logo. Here’s what we did.

Finished Product

Cool, huh?! This costume took a lot of cardboard, a lot of spray paint, and a lot of X-Acto knifing, but it was 100% worth it. This group costume takes three people who are willing to wear all black body suits in order to get that amazing, spooky dark screen effect.

"Why are you keeping this curiosity door locked?!"

DIY Instructions

Items Needed:

• Thin, square cardboard boxes.
• X-Acto knives.
• Printed stencils of the letters.
• Black spray paint.
• Black gaffe tape.
• Red cellophane. (We found this in the Christmas section of a hobby shop!)
• White Christmas lights.
• Thick black straps.
• Black second skin suits.

Step One: The first thing we did is get a large version of the logo from a printing store. Here is the font generator! Just make sure that the measurements line up with the size boxes you have and can be split into three parts.

Step Two: Tape each section onto the boxes. Line the boxes up before you start cutting to make sure they will line up evenly across.

Step Three: Start cutting! Leave little pillars open in the letters – you just want to cut out the outlines of the words, so you need the inside parts to remain cardboard. (See image above for reference.)

Step Four: Spray paint!! Cover the whole thing – front, back and sides – with black spray paint. Make sure to get a few coats on there so no cardboard color can be seen through.

Step Five: Add about three sheets of red cellophane to the inside of the box. That way, when the lights shine through, they’ll glow a perfect red. We just used black tape to secure it on the inside.

Step Six: Use more tape or a staple gun to attach the black strap to the inside of the front back and the inside of the back box to create a sandwich board to wear over your shoulders. (To see what’s on the back, keep reading…)

Step Seven: Last one! Drop some Christmas lights into each box and turn them on! And you’ve done it! A living, breathing, Stranger Things logo. Wear those black body suits and slowly come together with your friends to reenact the opening sequence. Spoooookyyyy!!!

DIY Stranger Things Christmas Light Wall

Okay, so we couldn’t just stop there. Remember how we said that there are amazing cosplays out there? We cannot be topped by them! We’re HalloweenCostumes.com, for goodness’ sake. SO – while you see a spooky, creepy logo in the FRONT, this group costume will feature the famous alphabet wall (WITH Christmas lights, of course) on the back! Whaaaat!

Finished Product

We used three more of the same size cardboard boxes to create the back half of each sandwich board contraption. (Lucky for us that we have an entire warehouse in the office where we ship thousands of costume orders every day! We know that you can find these at any local post office or shipping store, too.) A bit more spray paint, a few wallpaper stencils, some Christmas lights, and this easy DIY will be a very effective one, for both winning a Halloween contest AND for communicating with your friends in the Upside Down. R. U. N!

DIY Instructions

Items Needed:

• Three cardboard boxes.
• Beige and brown spray paint.
• Black paint.
• Paint brush.
• Flower stencils.
• Small, multi-colored Christmas lights. (Bulbs, please!)
• Black second skin suits.

Step One: Spray paint the boxes all one beige-y color to mimic the dingy walls of the Byers home.

Step Two: Take your flower stencil and use it to spray paint some designs on the walls with the darker brown. Make sure they aren’t all even across; you can even do half on one edge of the box and half on another!

Step Three: Paint on the alphabet. Take this as an opportunity to re-watch the whole series to know exactly where Joyce Byers places each letter.

Step Four: String up the Christmas lights! We’re, uh, a little passionate about the details, so we took the time to rewire these bulbs so each letter only had one light above it. Then, we cut holes in the side of the boxes so we could place the little battery pack/on-off switch for easy access while wearing the costume. (See image above for reference.)

Step Five: Wait for the messages from the Upside Down to start…

"Should I stay or should I go now?"

There's real boys in there! Don't worry!

DIY Eleven from Stranger Things Halloween Costume

There are lots of amazing characters in Stranger Things. Hopper, Steve, Dustin (duh), but no one stands out more than the one and only Eleven. Maybe it’s because Millie Bobby Brown is an incredible actress who knocks it out of the park, maybe it’s because the character is written so compellingly you half-can’t wait/half-are afraid to find out what her past is. All we know is that Eleven Halloween costumes are rivalling only Harley Quinn for popularity this year. We, of course, had to get in on the fun.

Finished Product

"She's our friend and she's crazy!"

The best thing about this costume is that it’s super easy! You don’t need much crafting time at all. ALSO – you don’t need to shave your head. Remember, Elle dons that old wig when she goes with the boys to school. However, the Eggos are not an option. Bring those breakfast treats with you!

Products Used

Blonde Wig – Shop     Athletic Socks – Shop     Fake Blood – Shop

Another key detail to this costume – a bloody nose. Poor Eleven’s powers take a toll on her body, and whenever she gets some psychic work done, her nose starts to bleed.. Probably not good for the brain, huh? Eleven is the sweetest government experiment we’ve ever known and we really hope that those Eggos that Hopper left in the woods means that we haven’t seen the last of her.

Like we mentioned above, this Netflix show has brought out some AMAZING and creative costumes. Here are some of our favorites we’ve seen around the internet this past half-year.

Every year, there’s at least one new movie that inspires a popular new Halloween costume for kids. Whether it’s Minions, Elsa from Frozen, or even an inflatable T-Rex costume from Jurassic World, once the children see them, they want to be that character. 2016 was no different with several popular children’s films like Disney’s Zootopia and Finding Dory along with Universal’s The Secret Life of Pets that were released featuring several popular characters who are soon to be worn as several popular Halloween costumes. Animal costumes are always a well-loved option among children and each of these movies provided animal costume ideas for many characters.

Zootopia was the biggest hit of the year, passing 2003’s Finding Nemo as the highest-grossing original animated film of all time and earning over $1 billion at the worldwide box office. The film follows the unlikely duo of Zootopia’s first bunny police officer, Judy Hopps, and the sly fox, Nick Wilde, as they work together to uncover the mystery of who is causing the animals of Zootopia to turn evil. The two make a formidable pair, as well as a pair of cute Halloween costumes. We’ve put together some fun DIY tutorials to create some adorable Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde cosplay. Check them out below!

Judy Hopps in zootopia

In the movie, Judy Hopps is thrilled to make it through training to become the first bunny police officer in Zootopia. However, her excitement is tempered upon learning that her first beat is parking meter duty. On the other hand, the position is what led her to meeting Nick Wilde in the first place so, in hindsight, it ended up being a good thing for her.

Accessories like wrist guards, bunny ears, and tail pull the look together. And don’t forget the police badge! You can find all the makeup tips you need in our tutorial video below.

Nick Wilde in Zootopia

When it comes to being sly as a fox, Nick Wilde is the ultimate scam artist. When we meet Nick in the movie, he’s pulling off a scam with his small partner-in-crime, Finnick. After being caught red-handed by Officer Hopps, he is forced to assist her in solving her mystery in order to avoid jail time.

Want a different look? [Spoiler Alert] Because Nick Wilde ends up joining the police force and becoming Judy’s partner, you can dress up in a child’s police officer costume.

If you want to be someone like Flash the sloth or one of the many other great characters from Zootopia, all you need is the appropriate animal costume.

Dress your lion costume up in a blue suit for Mayor Lionheart or, like Judy Hopps, find a police uniform for the Cheetah costume to dress up as Officer Clawhauser. The options are endless. As they say in Zootopia, “anyone can be anything.”

Do your kids want to dress up as Zootopia characters for Halloween? Who are some of their favorite characters? The “good” thing is that Zootopia was recently made available for streaming on Netflix, so whether you’ve seen it only once or if your kids have watched it a hundred times, you can always watch it again and again. If your family loves the movie and wants to dress up in Zootopia costumes, check out our full selection animal costumes and try to figure out what characters you can create.
 

We’re going all in on David S. Pumpkins. Obviously, after watching last night’s Saturday Night Live, one skit stood out to us. That skit? David. S. Pumpkins. Any questions?? In the 100 Floors of Fright, they can’t all be winners, buuuuut this DIY Halloween costume will hopefully be as memorable as the two b-boy skeletons and Tom Hanks as David Pumpkins, whoever that is. Here’s how to dress in this easy, funny, yet somewhat confusing group costume, inspired by the instant-classic from SNL. Now hold on for dear death!!

David S. Pumpkins Halloween Costume

The Inspiration

"How's it hanging? I'm David Pumpkins!"

First of all, do yourself a favor and watch the skit right now. Does it make sense? Well, no. But is it funny? YES. Hailed as an instant Halloween classic, David S. Pumpkins finds himself among the ranks of Candygram and Adam Sandler’s Halloween costume ideas on Weekend Update. (You know. “Hey, I’m squishy man! And I want some candy!!”) It’s the perfect mix of absurd and, uh… we guess just absurd. But in 2016, with all the ups and downs and stresses we’ve gone through, don’t we deserve a skit like David Pumpkins as the year winds down? WE DO. David Pumpkins is that hero we need and deserve.  

The Finished Product

"Why did you go all in on David Pumpkins?!"

While you’re busy trying to wrap your head around David Pumpkins (no, you’re not supposed to know who he is), we’ll help you plan this DIY costume. Get that music ready, papi…

“And David Pumpkins Is?...” “His own thing!”

We fully admit that the costume itself is not too hard (that’s good!), but it’s the attitude and dance moves that will sell it. We have this pumpkin print Opposuit that is peeeeerfect for David. Pair it with a black button up dress shirt, add a streak of blonde to your dark curly hair (we cut up this mullet wig!), and soon people will be asking if you’re from a local commercial or something.

“And the skeletons are?...” “Part of it!!”

The skeletons take a bit more time, but seriously not a ton. Use this Beetlejuice makeup kit to paint your face. All white all over, and then black around the eyes and on the nose. Scary, huh? This is a whole blog post of frights, babe, we’re probably screaming, too. The mad scientist wig completes the look, but don’t forget to add that white yoga headband. (Weird? Why are they wearing those? We have several questions about this skit.)

“Ready or not, here we … dance?!”

Do it! Please! We’re telling you right now that putting this costume together in our photo studio was one of the best moments of our life. We just couldn’t stop dancing, right after we scared the hell outta all our friends. Sooo – that means you’ll have an absolute blast if you go to a Halloween party dressed as these three weirdos. Yum!!

Finding Dory was the top grossing film of the summer and for good reason. The long anticipated sequel to Finding Nemo took 13 years, but clearly it was worth the wait because the movie received rave reviews. With Halloween just around the corner, the fact that it is a top costume idea for 2016 is really no surprise. While many kids will be dressing up in aquatic costumes of the like, we wanted to put a different spin on it this year and create some makeup tutorials to either pair with your costume or give you that unique do-it-yourself look that some Halloween enthusiasts strive for.

Dory, the blue tang fish, is a fan favorite for many reasons, but mostly because she tends to forget nearly everything in a matter of seconds. She suffers from short term memory loss, the reason for many of the film's laughable moments. She also knows how to speak whale! If you are up to the task this Halloween, she would make the perfect Halloween costume choice. When we thought about creating a cute Dory costume, we realized that was just TOO easy. So, we decided to take it to the next level and create a makeup tutorial instead. We know what you're thinking, not many kids will sit long enough for that, and we agree. That's why we created one simple tutorial for the littles and another more extensive one for adults and older children.

Do you like this? Do ya? Do Ya? DO YA?

Getting a young child to sit still for any extended period of time can be a difficult feat. This simplified Dory tutorial is the perfect addition to a costume. All you need is an assortment of lip liner or eye liner pencils and a white cream based makeup.

Psst. Come closer. We want to fill you in on a little dirty secret of ours: we are completely obsessed with horror movies. Slasher flicks, zombie films, science fiction thrillers, and supernatural major motion pictures; we bloody love 'em all! Bring on all the gore, mangled monsters, blood-curdling shrieks, and the perpetual paranormal hauntings because we can handle it. Sure, we watch most horror movies through spliced fingers while shielding our eyes, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Seriously. There's something about being immobilized with fear that makes us feel so...alive.

So, being the self-confessed creepy movie connoisseurs that we are, we couldn't help but notice one particular startling trend: whoa, there are so many baby-faced Hollywood A-listers popping up in our favorite old-school scary movies. Before these big league stars made the big bucks, they could be seen dodging flesh-eating furballs and running from chainsaw-wielding psychopaths. Watching these cinema hall of famers being hacked to bits by some classic fictional killers makes us giddy with delight, so we've decided to expose all of the skeletons hiding in their horror movie closets. Our infographic is one force to be reckoned with that these stars won't be able to run away from!

Anyone who grew up in the 90s is sure to include Hocus Pocus in their annual Halloween watch list. It is a great movie for all ages to get into the Halloween spirit and the Sanderson sister continue to be a popular group Halloween costume year after year. Another great character to dress up as for Halloween is Billy Butcherson, Winifred Sanderson’s zombie ex-boyfriend who she raises from the dead to chase after the children who stole her witchcraft book. If you want a scary look for Halloween, check out our Billy Butcherson DIY costume and makeup tutorial below. It’s just a little Hocus Pocus!

Halloween is the perfect time of year to dress up the kiddos in themed outfits for their yearly trick-or-treating debut. Matching Halloween costumes for siblings might be the cutest thing we've ever seen. The peanut butter to their jelly, the peas to their carrots, the Wookiee to their Han Solo. They are the best of friends and the younger siblings want nothing more than to be like their older brother or sister. Perhaps the older children will roll their eyes, but when the littles are included, it's enough to make your heart melt. No matter if you have two kids or twelve, we've got tons of costume combinations to make this the best Halloween yet!

75 years ago, DC introduced us to a new powerhouse in the comic book realm. Wonder Woman. This Amazon princess instantly won over readers. She had it all, beauty, smarts and strength. Her star spangled costume became just as famous as the character herself. With approximately 21 different costume variations over the years, it is hard for some to pick a favorite. Not us! We will always choose Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman costume. With this DIY, we wanted to take Ms. Carter’s traditional costume and bring it back, back to the comic book days. Are you ready to make a statement this Halloween by adding a little pop art makeup? If so, read on for a complete Wonder Woman pop art make up tutorial!

Red, white, blue, and eye-catching! The makeup, the costume, you don’t know where to look first. Even though the women all have pop art makeup on, not one looks the same.

Planning your next vacation? This map of haunted hotels is a ghost hunter's paradise. Take a tour of the United States and stay in some of the most haunted hotels in each state. You'll have to sleep with one eye open in some of these places so we sincerely hope you don't plan on taking this time to catch up on sleep. The accounts of paranormal activity in each venue varies, but the one thing they all have in common is some of their residents have never checked out. Prepare to see apparitions, be touched in your sleep by ghostly hands, or even levitated. (Okay, that last one sounds pretty cool!) Some of these permanent occupants enjoy playing tricks and others will not hesitate to tell you to get out of their hotel. If you are feeling brave, we've created a printable map with the shortest route to visit all the hotels in the contiguous states. We also did our homework and whipped up an infographic to help you learn a little bit about each of these haunted hotels, including the spookiest rooms to request at each location, in order to best prepare you for your journey!

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was established around the year 990 in the highlands of Scotland. Its four founders–Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin–succeeded in becoming the “finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world”. That’s if you believe Rubeus Hagrid, which we generally do. Hogwarts is prestigious largely because of its excellent professors and support staff, which keep the school running and its students safe. Or relatively safe. It is a wizarding school, after all.

In this infographic, we look at the most important staff members at Hogwarts from September 1991 through May 1998, the years that Harry Potter attended (or should have attended) the school. With a few exceptions, we show the positions these staff members held at the Start-of-Term Feast held on September First each year.

How To Decorate

Anything magically imagined by Dr. Seuss incorporates zany, eccentric, and whimsical design. In the land of Whoville. everything red and green is socially accepted and expected. To continue with the Who-tastic costumes, you'll want the decor to match the mood. Decorating the party should be a blast and don’t be afraid to think outside of the box for wacky new ideas!

What To eat: A Who Feast

The Who Feast may be one of the most important parts of Christmas in Whoville. Food such as Who-hash and roast beast should be on the menu for the evening, as well as Who-pudding accompanied, by many other savory sweets!

What To Do

To work off that entire plate of roast beast you just finshed (as a typical Who should), a friendly activity should follow for endless entertainment and engagement! Pin the heart on the Grinch, bingo, and a Max the Reindeer toss will get those calories burning for sure. If your party goers are too stuffed from the feasting, taking it easy with a few simple crafts might be the route worth taking.

What to Watch

[Source: Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas]

If Dr.Seuss’How The Grinch Stole Christmas Jim Carrey edition isn’t already playing in the background from the minute you put your roast beast in the oven, your heart must be 3 sizes too small! This is one of our most favorite Christmas movies and likewise for both young and old. Your party guests will be quoting infamous lines and sharing laughs together all night long. Of course, the classic is classic for a reason, so the 1966 TV special should definitely be in rotation, as well. Boris Karloff has never sounded so scary...

2. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Grinch Costume - Shop    Christmas Girl Costume - Shop

Feeling a bit grouchy about the holidays? If you’re actually considering stealing Christmas to try to make it go away, maybe you’ll want to dress up as The Grinch for the holidays. On the other hand, you may want to be a Who from Whoville to try and teach the Grinch a lesson about holiday cheer.

3. A Christmas Story

Leg Lamp Costume - Shop    Pink Bunny Costume - Shop    Fragile Box Costume - Shop

Anyone who has watched A Christmas Story can call out a holiday experience that they relate to. It could be a fixation on something specific you really wanted like a Red Ryder BB gun or it could be staring in horror at a pair of bunny footie pajamas that a distant relative sent to you.

4. Elf

Buddy the Elf Costume - Shop    Jovi Elf Costume - Shop

No movie has become an instant Christmas classic faster than the hilarious Elf. You can dress up as Buddy and cut out snowflakes, make your own toys, and consume copious amounts of maple syrup.

5. The Polar Express

Polar Express Santa Costume - Shop    Polar Express Train Conductor Costume - Shop    Polar Express Elf Costume - Shop

11. A Christmas Carol

Someone could also dress as a ghost if they'd like to portray a haunting presence (or deliver some haunting presents).

12. Peanuts

Another Christmas classic with an important message. Despite the small, droopy tree and others' obsessions with material objects, Charlie Brown knows the true meaning of Christmas.
