Five Great Halloween Costumes for Kids and Adults

Halloween is a time for ghosts, goblins, witches, and things that go bump in the night. It is also a time for faeries, princes, ballerinas, and the magic of childhood. But Halloween does not have to be a holiday simply for children. Whether you are living it up at a Halloween party, throwing one of your own, or dressing up the kids and taking them on a trick-or-treat excursion, Halloween is yours to enjoy as well.

The best way to enjoy Halloween is to engage in the festivities of the season. Carve a pumpkin. Watch scary movies. Eat lots of candy. And by all means, dress up for the occasion. Finding that perfect costume idea is a daunting task, but only because there are so many choices. If you are in the market for adult Halloween costumes or kids Halloween costumes, keep these suggestions in mind:

The Wolf Man. This costume idea is a great one for both kids and adults. It invokes the rambunctious spirit of the holiday with images of a full moon and the dense, mysterious haze of fog on the English moors. Popularized by the classic Universal horror film, and the upcoming remake, this is one creature, which has endured in popular culture as one of the quintessential movie monsters. Nothing illustrates the holiday better than this costume homage to one of the Greats.

The Convict. As far as adult Halloween costumes go, this is a great one for men or women and calls on the spirit of the fast-paced, freewheeling "public enemy" days of the 1930's. With the traditional pinstripe look, this costume makes the old black-and-white fashionable and festive. This is a terrific idea for couples, as it is reminiscent of Bonnie and Clyde and other ill-fated, star-crossed romances, and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at parties.

Flower Children. Another great in the pantheon of adult Halloween costumes, this idea will take you and your guests on a trip back in time to the days of love and music. Bring Woodstock back to life with flare pants, blouse, waist sash, glasses and retro-jewelry for a far-out look. These psychedelic looks are so versatile you could theme a whole party in them, and get by with some help from your friends.

The Cheerleader. While this look works for adults, it is adorable when used for kids Halloween costumes. Imagine your little girl in a skirt and pom-poms! You could dress her up with the red, white, and blue, look, or perhaps opt for one of your favorite sports teams. She will win the hearts of every house you visit with a smile and a cheer. The only problem? All that extra candy she will be getting as a result of her team spirit.

The Superhero. Boys and girls alike will love these cute kids Halloween costumes. From Hawkgirl to Wonder Woman and Batman to Superman, the Superhero look has something that will appeal to both genders. Kids love to dress up as their favorite heroes, and going this route will truly excite them into a frenzy that may just make Halloween their favorite holiday for some time to come!

Do not let Halloween pass without finding the perfect costume for you and your kids. With so many to choose from, the only difficulty comes in narrowing down your options. Whatever you decide, have a happy and safe holiday!

I'm 12 years old. Am I allowed to wear a skirt?

My mom says I'm too young and she thinks that I might get raped, but the skirt is almost up to my knees. Do you see how those little kids who are like 4 years old wearing a mini-skirt? I'm like an adult compared to their age.

You are not too young to wear skirts. When I was your age, I would wear them all of the time. You just want to make sure that they are long enough so that your butt is not hanging out, becuase then, you might get some pervert's attention. But if the skirt is up to your knees, then you definitely should be able to wear it. Although, if your mom says that you can't wear them, then, maybe you should just try to convince her that you can and you could compromise.
