More Halloween Ideas

As the crisp fall air makes its presence known, leaves quickly falling, the light of day lasting less and less, it is clear that Halloween has almost arrived. Whether you’re going to a doctor’s appointment, the mall, or even to the grocery store — the ghosts, zombies, black cats, spider webs, witches, and vampires seem to haunt you everywhere. Aside from all of the ghoulish decorations, haunted houses and sinful candy, one question still remains; “What am I going to be this year?”

Most of us can recall our very first Halloween costume, whether it was a Disney princess or even a cowboy costume, Halloween was always highly anticipated. After all, who wouldn’t look forward to being allowed to wear make-up, dress up, stay up past your bedtime, and on top of that, be able to receive large amounts of candy all for yourself? The point is, that from a young age, we’ve established emotion associated with Halloween; that very feeling has followed us up to our college years. As we’ve grown throughout the years, our costume selection has varied. However, as the years continue, the themes of Halloween costumes have taken a slight shift in direction.

Halloween costumes are supposed to be scary, demonic, daunting, bloody, and the like. This original scary theme is by no mistake. The ancient Celts believed witches, ghouls, and goblins roamed the countryside on the night of October 31. In attempt to scare and trick them, the Celts would wear scary masks and costumes when walking outside that night. Naturally over the years, we have separated from this reasoning and now have more than just these scary costumes to choose from. Costumes now vary from childhood cartoon characters, assorted candies, fictional beings (fairies, mermaids, etc.), sexy authority figures, comedic costumes and celebrities.

Over the past year, there have been many famous celebrity scandals, well- known events, or just well recognized costume themes derived from the like. Dazzle your costume with these ideas for this Halloween.
