The original rock lineup of Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss is the most successful and identifiable. With their makeup and costumes - Demon (Simmons), Starchild (Stanley), Spaceman (Frehley), and The Catman (Criss) - Kiss are great for Halloween metal costume inspiration. "The "Demon" makeup reflected Gene's cynicism and dark elements, as well as his love for comic books. Paul Stanley became the "Starchild" due to his tendency to be referred to as the "starry-eyed lover" and "hopeless romantic." Ace Frehley's "Spaceman" makeup was a reflection of him wanting to go for a ride in a space ship and supposedly being from another planet. Peter Criss' "Catman" makeup was in accordance with the belief that Peter had nine lives due to his rough childhood in Brooklyn" (Wikipedia Kiss Biog).
Modern Costume Themes
Increasingly, it has become acceptable for Halloween costume design to move away from the
traditional
spirit, under world, fairy story and magical themes, and to move on
to just plain having fun. When you choose your costume based on fun,
almost anything goes. Superman costumes have been popular for several
generations. Clowns, scarecrows, soda cans, movie characters, tv
characters, book characters, stereotypes (such as geeky nerds), and
an infinite variety of other sources of inspiration are acceptable.
The idea is to be distinctive and witty, to stand out from the crowd, with your choice of Halloween costume. Perhaps this new trend has emerged because Halloween theme costume parties have become very popular. The older Halloween party generation of today is more open to fresh costume ideas than the traditional trick or treater dress up age group. Halloween parties offer one of the few major events in the social calendar where dressing up in a costume is expected as part of the festivities, and they are all about having fun without getting too hung up on following Halloween traditions that few people really take seriously nowadays anyway.
