Want to rock out this Halloween by dressing up glam? This is a fun and crazy costume idea that will get you lots of attention, and let you live out your wild side for the night. Read on to learn how to make a Glam Rock Halloween costume.

Kiss, Poison, Motley Crue, Alice Cooper...all of the rock and roll stars of the 1970's and 1980's dressed up in outrageous clothing, donned humongous hairdos, and caked on the makeup. This is an easy look to emulate, and you don't have to spend a ton of money to look convincing as a glam rocker. Most of the clothing items can be found at thrift and second-hand stores, and a few basic cosmetic items can complete the look nicely.

Glam rock is all about the '80's look, and since that era is back in style, the garb is usually easy to find. Mix and match the following items to create your costume:

• Tight, ripped black or pale blue jeans
• Leather or animal print pants (the tighter the better)
• Blue jean, animal print or leather miniskirts for ladies
• Fishnet stockings
• Fitted tank tops
• Any shirt cut short so that your belly shows, with sleeves cropped off
• Dangly earrings
• Chunky bracelets
• Chain necklaces
• Skull rings

The hair is one of the most important elements of any glam rock costume. The rule here? The bigger, the better. You'd better have a full can of hairspray for this look.

• Fortunately, there is little precision required for glam rock hair, so you don't need to be an expert stylist to achieve the look. Just flip your hair upside-down, and give it a good tease with your fingers or a comb. Flip it back up, and spray until it will stay in place. Tease throughout the night to retain volume.

All glam rockers wear makeup, even the men. Here are the basics:

• Eyeliner, eyeliner, eyeliner
• Black mascara
• Blue or metallic eyeshadow
• Dark, streaked blush
• Foundation in a pale shade
• Pressed or loose powder to set the makeup
• Red or pink lipstick
• Face glitter
• If you are going for a Kiss look, you will also need white face paints
