Unique Halloween Costumes

Halloween is a holiday that normally involves children dressing up in scary or funny costumes and walking door-to-door on the evening of October 31 in order to get candy from their neighbors. The holiday started as a religious one, but has now turned more towards popular culture and is celebrated for more social reasons, allowing kids to eat more chocolate than they would normally get to, and giving adults an excuse to party.http://www.pfbaptistpress.org/36.htm

A truly unique Halloween costume can make someone stand out in the crowd. However, some trick or treaters choose to be creative and come up with their own ideas. In addition to creating homemade Halloween costumes, existing outfits can also be dressed up or altered after they are purchased from a Halloween retailer.

Unique and unusual costumes can be elaborate creations or simple, thrown-together outfits. Unique costumes can spring from popular costumes. For example, instead of going as the Grim Reaper, go as the Grim Reaper on vacation by adding a flowery shirt, a lei and a fruity drink.

For a new take on the popular Joker costume from The Dark Knight, consider going as The Joker in a nurse or cop uniform, as Heath Ledger did in the film.Costume Idea Blog: The Joker Costume Alternatives

Consider adding a unique looking Halloween mask to your outfit to make it really stand out. Elaborate Halloween face painting creations can quickly become a unique work of art.

Become a beekeeper. This is a very simple costume to put together on short notice. A hat can either be purchased or made at home, with all-khaki clothes completing the look. Bees can be painted on or glued to the outfit so it looks like there is a consistent swarm, and a basket can be brought that doubles as both a beehive and a candy-collector.http://costumeideazone.com/CIZ/CostumesByCategories.aspx?c=9
