Show your wild, funny, or truly absurd side and take home that Best Costume prize you’ve had your eye on! After all, Halloween is all about becoming an entirely different person for one night. The more creative you can be the better.

Arrive at the party dressed as your favorite sports star, as your favorite animal, or as your jerk of a boss. Any of these subjects could result in good ideas for Halloween costumes - even GREAT ideas! Hate your job? Love animals?

Do you enjoy sports? You just have to be observant. Good ideas for Halloween costumes are everywhere. Ask around; maybe your cousin dressed up as something or someone really spectacular three years ago and would be happy to loan you her costume.

Craft magazines and catalogs are also a great resource, as are your friends and family. Some flowing fabric and strands of bells could be used to craft an exotic gypsy costume. A cheap art set could be transformed into a Parisian artist’s costume. By browsing the aisles you’ll discover an array of make-your-own costume supplies from angel wings to bridal veils. Many people succeed in finding good ideas for Halloween costumes by visiting party supply or craft stores.

All you need is a little imagination! Good ideas for Halloween costumes are as easy to find as you make them. In fact the cast of any TV show or movie is a great way to get all of your friends or co-workers in on the fun. Adult groups of friends will love dressing up as Charlie’s Angels, the Dukes of Hazard (complete with Daisy and Boss Hog!), Three Amigos, or characters from Gilligan’s Island.

How about Alvin and the Chipmunks or a trio of Superheros? Have three kids? Dress up your two children as Raggedy Ann and Andy, Sonny and Cher, or Mickey and Minnie Mouse. The entertainment industry is especially ripe with good ideas for Halloween costumes for groups of adults or children. Even items found around your home can spark great ideas - have you ever considered going to your next Halloween party dressed as a box of cereal, a toaster, or a bagel?

Dora the Explorer and Kim Possible are popular with girls now, and what boy will turn down the chance to be Spider Man for a night? Look no further than the local toy store or your child’s favorite Saturday morning cartoon. Looking for good ideas for Halloween costumes for kids? Actors, TV characters, famous faces from the news, even characters from books can be great fodder for Halloween night.

Good ideas for Halloween costumes can come from a variety of sources, whether it’s the Internet, TV, movies or even your hobbies.

There isn’t a Halloween costume mask in creation that can look as realistic as a good makeup job.  However, getting that special Halloween undead look can be a trick for anyone that hasn’t used costume makeup or prosthetics before.  I know in my youth I had spent numerous hours sticking icky sticky stuff all over my face.  Desparately trying to get the desired ghoulish look for my costume and always ending up looking more like a circus clown gone bad than the horrific ghoul I had invisioned.

The problem isn’t that you don’t have the correct  costume make-up or materials, it’s just that no one ever explained how to apply the make-up.  Directions on the back of bottles and the prosthetic makeup packages leave just about everything to the imagination.   It doesn’t matter if you’re making a tiger, pirate skeleton or an undead zombie face, sometimes a little direction goes a long, long way. 

This first video is without prosthetics and just costume makeup.  Using a simple costume makeup kit you can make one creepy undead zombie.  I will be listing more halloween how to videos on using prosthetics, so stay tuned.  Be sure to let me know of your halloween costume worries and I’ll try my best to help you out.
