The Real Secret To Finding A Unique Halloween Costume
By Phil Sikes | August 15, 2008
Halloween parties are growing in popularity as an excuse to have fun, and are one of the few high profile social events through the year where dressing up is what it’s all about. Choosing what to wear to a Halloween Party can be a little frustrating.
Several costumes are basically guaranteed to make an appearance at all the Halloween parties every year. Witches, ghosts, and Dracula (and maybe even his bride) are all popular Halloween disguises, but they are not the only ones available at local costume shops.
To be distinctive, you could set out to design and make a completely different costume from scratch. However, most people don’t have the time, money, imagination or inclination to go to that bother. Some find the answer to standing out in the crowd is to do something radically different, even outrageous, by showing up in a costume that has little if anything to do with Halloween.
Costumes that are controversial, clever, or daring are sure to stand out from the rest of the more conservative outfits. Some people probably would not feel comfortable wearing such an interesting get up, but with just a little bit of confidence and poise it can be done successfully.
You can make your costume unique and interesting by simply using a clever conversation starter that relates to your outfit somehow. If you like, you could even choose to make fellow party goers laugh with a short, funny story to go with your Halloween disguise.
Here’s an example of how to do it. Since ghosts are one of the most popular Halloween costumes, you could go as a Ghostbuster instead. That way, every time that you meet a ghost, you can start your conversation with “I’m here to bust you.” You’ll be sure to stand out quickly.
You and your friends can really get noticed if you all go together with coordinated costumes. Even though going as, for example, the Addam’s family is not totally original, it will definitely get people talking about your costumes and will allow you all to have some fun interacting as the characters you’re dressed as.
If, when you go to buy a costume, the only one left is the all too common Dracula, you can still mix it up and make it your own. For example, you could opt to wear Dracula’s classic tuxedo top, but change the pants to golf pants and tell everyone at the party you are Dracula on vacation. This is sure to attract someone who loves golf and lots of curious party guests.
