Choosing Your Halloween Costume Theme
With it's growing popularity for all ages, the Halloween costume party has become one of the year's main excuses to dress up for a costume party. Often the Halloween theme becomes secondary to having fun, and costumes of all descriptions are perfectly acceptable. At adult parties, the most popular halloween customs are often favored for being witty or sexy rather than having anything whatsoever to do with Halloween.
But what if you want to stay with the Halloween theme when choosing your costume? What are the classic Holloween costume characters?
Ghosts, Ghouls, and Orcs
Ghosts of all descriptions are the old standby customes. Simply a white sheet with some eye and arm holes cut into it has done the job many times over. Today, the same idea continues, but with more emphasis on imaginative ghoulish and ugly heads and masks on top of shapeless sheets covering the rest of the body. Perhaps the Orcs of the Lord of the Rings movies have been an inspiration for this trend.
Witches and Wizards
Witches in black with broad brimmed conical hats and accessories such as broom sticks and black cats are universal favorites. They do not always have to be costumes that portray frumpy and ugly witches either - some witch costume designs today are quite elegant. Their counterpart Wizards, often dressed in hooded gowns like Monks, have been less popular. Is it because they are not always portrayed as being bad like witches in the movies?
