How to Get Ideas for a Halloween Costume

Finding the right costume for Halloween can be tricky, so here are a few ways to get creative.

1. Find which costume is right for you. Think of movies, (Twilight, Garfield, The Grinch, Pinocchio etc) think of television shows, (Peanuts, Simpsons, Sesame Street, Adams Family etc) think of famous musicians, (P!nk, Ke$ha, Elvis Presley, Bob Marley etc) or even a Broadway show (The Rocky Horror Show, Wicked, Marry Poppins etc.) You can dress up as someone who is listed here or a character from a show that is listed. Or you can be creative and be something like a cereal box or an Ipod.

2. Get an image of who or what you're being so you know what your character looks like and what he/she wears. Also note if your character wears any face paint, make-up, glitter, or any other facial things.

3. Make a list of things like pants, wight earrings, face paint etc. But don't be too specific because while you may not find what you're looking for in one aisle, there could be a better product in the next aisle.

4. Get creative. Go to a store or any other place that sells things like face paint, accessories, or anything else you think you may need. Bring your picture with you so you can fully imagine what you may look like. Look around the place and see if you find anything that would go with your costume(usually when you plan ahead you find better things at the stores.) Make sure you are organized and don't just get the things simply because they look good on the shelf. Make sure you are not getting 5 necklaces and you totally forget about the pants.

5. Prepare. Gather all the supplies you may need. Make sure everything fits or works so you are not rushing around to fix something at the last minute.

6. Go out and have fun! Go trick-or-treating with your friends or enter in a costume contest. Happy Halloween!
