Halloween Costume Ideas from Adults to Kids

Halloween 2009 is starting to creep up on us. It’s best to buy Halloween costumes early so you’re not stressing at the last minute over what to wear. To help you out, we’ve put together a list of costumes and themes to point you in the right direction this Halloween.

Top Adult Costume Ideas: Whether you’re planning on going to a friend’s Halloween party or expect to spend a night on the town, one of these adult Halloween costumes will be sure to impress:

Dead Celebrities
Dead celebrities have always been popular choices for Halloween. This year, we have had what seems like an overwhelming number of celebrity deaths. Check out some of most popular celebrities that will most likely be eulogized through costume.

• Michael Jackson: This costume can come in many forms, from those who want to glorify the King of Pop, to those who choose to focus on the controversy surrounding his death. Michael Jackson’s famous thriller video makes it easy to use the star’s memory as Halloween inspiration.
• Farrah Fawcett: The former fashion model and Charlie’s Angel will be popular among ladies looking to use Hollywood’s obituary list for costume ideas.
• Other dead celebrity costume ideas include infomercial pitchman Billy Mays, political columnist Robert Novak, television personality Ed McMahon and countless others.

Political Costumes
The political costume was trendy last year when we saw Sarah Palin as a popular Halloween party theme. This year, she will remain a top costume choice, in addition to fellow Republicans Rush Limbaugh and former Vice President Dick Cheney. Not to worry though, Halloween costumes are quite bi-partisan, as President Obama & the first lady will be popular among couples’ costumes this year.

Superheroes
Always a safe bet is the superhero costume. Last year saw throngs of Batman costumes. We foresee another year of Heath Ledger-inspired Joker costumes, as well as other Dark Knight spin-offs.

Other popular superheroes include the classics like Superman, the Incredible Hulk, Spiderman, and various Transformers characters for those wishing to relive their childhood.


Top Kids Costume Ideas: From trick-or-treating to classroom Halloween parties, finding a great kids Halloween costume based on these suggestions will be sure to keep a smile on their faces.

Popular Movies
Halloween always has a habit of mimicking the most popular movies of the current year. This year, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” dominated the box office and will likely dominate the Halloween costume arena. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron will be very big among the children this season.

• Harry Potter: The boy wizard will see another year of popularity as more and more kids catch “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” -- the latest film based on the popular series of fantasy novels.
• Hannah Montana: Tweens and teens alike will want to emulate the Disney phenomenon who leads a double life as a pop star – played by the ever-popular Miley Cyrus

Disney
Princess costumes are always a top choice among young girls who love to get frilly. Cinderella, Snow White, Belle and Jasmine are just a few Disney favorites among the little ones. Boys, too, are big fans of well-known Disney heroes. Wall-E costumes; Buzz and Woody from Toy Story and the Power Rangers will be just a few of the fan favorites among boys this Halloween.
