With Halloween here before you know it, don't make the same slips from past years and end up with an lame costume that five other lame-o's at the party are also wearing. You've got to think outside the box and be original. These three tips will help you choose the best costume for Halloween this year.
Tip #3: If all else fails, go with Disney costume ideas. Yup you heard me right. You cannot fail with Disney characters. Everyone loves a Mickey Mouse or Goofy. But don't stop there, there are a ton of memorable Disney movies out there and they are all so immediately recognizeable. I mean really, who dresses up as a Disney character these days? No one. Except you. And you will be awesome. I think it's high time to bring back the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts.

Tip #2: Pay attention to the details. Now if you prefer to ignore the previous tip, you can still outclass the nine other Spidermans at the Halloween costume party. How so? By paying attention to the little things. These small things are what make the character recognizable. So analyze the character's attire thoroughly. Note every single detail. What exact color shirt is he usually wearing? "Brown" is not good enough, what exact tone and design? What kind of shoes does he sport? Does he tuck in his shirt? Does this character wear jewelry? Get yourself lots of pictorial references and ask yourself these kinds of questions to make your costume faithful to the costume. Though most people likely won't notice a third the details, they'll subliminally see that you've got the best rendition of that character at the Halloween party by a mile if you stick with this tip. Bonus tip: Adopt the character's manners, including how he speaks, trademark poses, and behavior.

Tip #1: Recall all the big-budget movies this year. Done thinking yet? Awesome, now zap them into oblivion. Stay as far away from them as possible. Was there an X-men movie this year? Then you definitely want to stay away from being Wolverine or Storm. Did Spiderman 8 come out? Then don't be Spiderman or the villain of the week. Harry Potter? Let's not go there. I think you get the point here. Should you choose a popular cinematic figure from the past summer, you run the risk of encountering the worst nightmare of being the same thing as some other guy or gal, and invariably drawing comparisons. Competition is bad and will not make you stand out. Instead, you should opt for something a bit more refined and "classic," perhaps aged maybe ten to twenty years. Why is this desirable? Because you can nearly warrant that the older you go, the less likely you will be a ringer of someone else at the Halloween party. Plus, a character aged over a fifteen years will bring back warm fuzzy feeling type responses, because we were all a bit younger then, and we probably all had fonder memories from back then. Get the idea? Prey on other party-goers' happier pasts. What was popular back when you were a kid? If you choose an original enough character, you'll be rolling in the money. That you'll be winning. From the costume contest. Amiright?
