Are you looking for Halloween costumes that will help win a costume contest? Perhaps you have squeaked by every previous year as a witch, a vampire or a ghost, and have never had anything truly unique, just always something rushed. This year, you’re ready to take your costume design seriously and you’re planning in advance to make this the best Halloween party ever. Here are some ideas that will make others laugh, scream, drop their jaws or just award you the prize upon sight.

Some of the cleverest costumes are the ones people devise and make themselves. For instance, some kids paint themselves all black and dress in black (with red or blue colored sleeves and iPod accessories), while carrying matching backdrops, to go as the classic iPod ad! Other kids dress up as the “Koolaid” man and have two friends dress as pieces of the wall he was busting through. You can dress as a “Holy Cow,” as the late gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson or as one of the “Royal Tenenbaums” in a red cord track jacket, sweatband, faux fur and eyeliner. You can go as “Nick Nolte’s Mug Shot” by wearing a Hawaiian shirt and messing up your hair, or you may want to use that Hawaiian garb to go with your moustache and sunglasses, as in “Weekend at Bernies.” Imagine the laughter at the costume party when you arrive as a lawn gnome, pine tree air freshener or paper doll!

If you are brave and resilient, then you may want to choose Halloween masks and costume accessories to complete your look this year. The scariest Halloween costumes usually involve masks, whether you’re a pumpkin monster, a vampire or a terrifying clown. At www.halloweenmask.com, you will find the best selection of original, high-quality Halloween masks for all price ranges and objectives. Have you ever wondered what it’d be like to be Barack Obama, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Hillary or Bill Clinton, George or Laura Bush, Al Gore, Dennis Rodman, Bill Gates, Mike Tyson, Tiger Woods, David Letterman, Donald Trump, Tupac, Jay Leno or Tony Blair? All these masks are available for less than $30. If you’re looking for the real deal in film studio-grade masks, then you can buy a Planet of the Apes mask for $250, Jeepers Creepers for $130, a signed mask from The Fly for $250, Slimer for $200 or a large Alien collector’s mask for $500.
