When it comes to costumes, keep it scary
What is the best part of Halloween? Is it decorating the home in spider webs and pumpkins, carving jack-o’-lanterns, eating tons of candy or causing mischief throughout the neighborhood? None of the above, of course! No, the best part of Halloween is dressing up in outrageous costumes. Whether the costumes are meant to be scary, funny, cute or just totally out there, it is almost required from everyone to change out of their everyday clothes and into something weird and unique. There are so many different themes and costumes from which to choose. How is one to decide what to wear? Costumes tend to differ when it comes to gender. Popular costumes for the younger boys include superheroes such as Spider-man, Batman and Superman, and other themes such as ninjas, pirates, cowboys or sports players. For girls, it is frilly things such as princesses, fairies or anything involving the color pink.
