Halloween Costume Ideas

Halloween Ideas

Every day brings the holiday of halloween closer and closer. Halloween is in a dead tie with christmas for the best holiday in existence. Ever since the I could remember I always knew what I wanted to be for that one great night. Whether it was Robin, one of the Power Rangers, Ninja turtles (or just straight up ninjas) or Cyclops from X-men, I always knew. My older brother would of course accompany me as Batman, another power range (I black ranger and he was of course red) or Wolverine.

This is my first year away from home and I can’t decide what to be. I either have too many great ideas, or not enough. Me and a very good friend Jarred are considering being three possible duo’s: Starsky and Hutch, Maverick and Goose (from Top Gun, one of the greatest movies of all time) or two matching greenmen from the show “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I will weigh the pros and cons of each of these.

At this point I am leaning towards Starsky and Hutch but I still have plenty of time to decide. I feel like i could make a good Starsky, and my friend, who has wavy blonde hair could probably pull off a pretty good Hutch; the only thing he is missing is a broken nose. The good things are that we both look somewhat similar to the characters, and I my hair is getting more 70’s-esque by the day. Also, most people would recognize Starsky and Hutch. The tough part might be finding costumes. Clothing as classy as that will be hard to find and will take countless scans of multiple Goodwills.

Maverick and Goose is also a very good concept. This is one of my all time favorites and I would love to pull it off. The only problem is the price. If we go for the low grade flight suits we will simply look stupid and like little kids who are dressing up as army men. Also i would have to get a Tom Cruise haircut which worries me. My greatest fear for this costume is that not enough people have seen the movie and would just give us confused and disgusted looks.

The Green man is a whole new animal. This would be hilarious to anybody who has seen the TV show “Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” But we would be hiding behind a green spandex mask all night. Yes I said it, green SPANDEX. This is the other down side. I am not sure how comfortable I am wearing a full body spandex suit the whole night; I would need to lose about 15 pounds to be excited about that. But then again it could be motivation to do so. Also, people who don’t watch the show would be generally weirded out and unamused by two green men walking down the street.

Please let me know what you think about me being the following characters.
