Who do you wanna dress up as this year? What is frightening now that would make a good costume? Well....here are some ideas for this year.
Some people want to dress up as characters in movies or tv shows. I guess it depends on what is popular now. Back in the 90's, Tim Burton was everywhere with Beetlejuice, A nightmare before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands and many more. Even Toy Story had interesting costumes for kids to wear
Now, with Netflix and other streaming sites becoming the new norm, Squid Games being the big thing. Dresing up as someone with not face and scaring the shit out of children is how to get candy these days it seems.
You have to be careful what you wear. Ever since the movie IT got a remake for theaters, people have seen creepy clown sightings all over around Halloween. Let's just say, that phase has not died down since there are still some sightings in certain rural areas or near the woods of whatever.
Even dressing up as a T-Rex or any other dinosaur can be interesting. There used to people dressing up as T-Rex at weddings or Barrmitvah's (this is true people) and other events. Even during the 90's there was a movie called Jurassic Park and everyone would dress up as the human characters or the dinosaurs. There's no stopping that with the new Jurassic World movies.
Some people go to great lengths to even become a work of art as a Halloween Costume. The Crying Girl, Van Gogh self-portrait, or even "Son of Man" painting that involves a man with an apple over his face.
Even people will dress up as food. Even for pregnant women, they would be an oven, and their significant other would be the bun, signifying pregnancy. It's interesting the costumes people can create. Even a slice of pizza can be a costume.
You might want to be careful with the costumes you choose. Some can be obscene, inappropriate or downright wrong. A woman got fired at her job after wearing a costume of a Boston Marathon runner after the tragedy when a bomb exploded killing two people. Another one was fired for being hung over and dressing up in a fairly costume. He was beyond drunk. He got fired through a text.
Halloween costumes can be considered tricky for people that are disabled or in a wheelchair. Happily, some people created creative ideas. Like having a scene from a movie that has someone in a wheelchair like a Forrest Gump scene with Lieutenant Dan in a wheelchair. There are other great ideas for people with disabilities. Families get together to create costumes to help someone that can't walk or stand. They're considered creative.
Now, with not only Squid Games, but even Stranger Things and Cobra Kai being considered hits on Netflix, people are starting to create not only costumes from the shows, but even their house has been decorated to look like a certain scene from the show. Especially in Stranger Things. Some families have created the scene in Stranger Things where Max is lifted up from the ground in a possessed stage.
Even Sexy Halloween Costumes can be used for late-night parties on Halloween. Sometimes, having that kind of costume can lure attention you don't want, or can be considered distracting on how it is worn. Just be careful.
All we know is Halloween is getting closer and people are realizing that finding a costume at a Halloween Store is not cheap. Creativity starts to set in for certain costumes. But....for others, buying off the rack is the thing. I used to celebrate Halloween when I was kid, now....I just watch Halloween movies and relax. What will you be this Halloween??
