Big names, like Iron Man, Hulk, Black Panther, Thor, Captain America, and many more, are all viable options for a Halloween costume. Not to mention, the Avengers could also be used in a group costume of superheroes or villains for an added effect on Halloween. Killmonger, from the highest grossing film in 2018 thus far, Black Panther, is perfect for Halloween. These terrifying super-villains are great personas to take on for Halloween. This year so many influential movies have released, pumping the internet full of new ideas for costumes. On this Halloween night, superheros and supervillains will be running rampant throughout the streets.

Group Group costumes are bland individually; however, as a group they are extremely interesting. A group could possibly be thing one and thing two, popular book characters by Dr. Seuss. Another group costume idea that is sure to excite a crowd could be the two girls from the movie White Chicks. Finally, an idea that could be performed by more than two people could be ninja turtles. Simply wear green attire, with a cardboard shell on the back, and have each ninja turtle wear a different colored bandana. Inflatable Another unique costume idea are inflatable costumes. Recently, the internet has been fascinated with inflatable costumes, such as a T-Rex, sumo wrestler, food product, and other endless possibilities! These costumes are different than regular costumes.

They’re comical, though a little bit uncomfortable.” It sets people apart from their peers and others around them. In addition, these costumes are inexpensive and simple, yet stylish and humorous. Any inflatable outfit is sure to be a hit for Halloween night. Athletes Finally, a great costume idea for sports fans is to dress up as a famous athlete. A soccer costume could consist of the necessary shin guards and cleats, as well as high socks with the player’s jersey. A football player costume would include the jersey and helmet, and football pants. To achieve an added flare, wear pads underneath the jersey and pants. These costumes are cost effective and exciting to compare each others’ sports’ interests. One is sure to impress others with their realistic football or soccer player costume this Halloween.
