Selecting a Halloween costume is a personal choice. Age and Gender are some of the main factors that will determine what type of Halloween costume is best. Different kids like different things so I've created a short list of popular Halloween costumes. Cookie Monster Although people usually relate Halloween to monsters, witches and other scary creatures, there are a huge number of people who love Halloween because of the candies and cookies. But, what if I told you that there is a chance to combine these two things? The answer is simple - Cookie monster costume. This is one of the most popular characters from the Sesame Street and a character that every kid and adult knows. In order to create this costume you will need a plain blue shirt with long sleeves and big headpiece. Don't forget to pay close attention to the way your eyes look like. Animals This is another good example of living beings loved by everyone - animals. The best part about Halloween animal costumes is that there are so many choices. This is a type of costume where you can obviously unleash your imagination and make your kids look fantastic. Rabbits, monkeys, mice, cat - these are some of the animals that you can choose to imitate on the next Halloween. Older teens may decide to wear some scarier animal costumes like gorillas or bears. You can decide to create the costume completely on your own or find a suitable jumpsuit and just work on the details. The most important part of this costume is the face where you will definitely have to use adequate makeup and wig. Zombies There is no doubt that zombies are witnessing a real renaissance these days. Their popularity has reached record high levels in the last few years. Movies, TV shows, video games, zombies are found everywhere. This means that it is the right time to dress as a zombie. Before you make the final decision, be sure that your child is comfortable with this idea because some may find zombie costumes a bit scary. There are many ways in which you can make a zombie costume, but what they all have in common is the use of special makeup to make the skin pale and even grayish and the use of worn/torn clothing. Superheroes Almost all boys and girls love superheroes and dress up like them. Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Catwoman, Wonder woman are only some of the popular superhero costumes that you can use when Halloween comes. It won't take much time before you create these costumes because you will have the exact model right in front of you on TV or computer.
