Classic and Modern Halloween Costumes
Who is That Supposed to be?
Witches and werewolves, Vampires and ghosts, monsters and martians children dressed up in a scary costume going round the neighborhood knocking on doors "Trick or treat" is all part of the excitement and fun of Halloween, free candy, and apples even candy apples and if you are lucky old Mrs Smith down the road in number 48 will give you a dollar because she didn't have time to go shopping today. armed with toilet paper in-case Mr Jones in number 65 is doing his impression of Mr Scrooge again. "We did warn you Mr Jones you earned this yard rolling once again"
Halloween is as much fun for the adults as it is for the children knocking on the door, it's a guessing game trying to work out just who that is under that mask or make up, in recent years though that guessing game has become a little more difficult for the poor unsuspecting adults as costumes have become more elaborate. "Oh its little Tommy from number 12 but who has he dressed up as I have never seen that character before".
Where has Dracula, Frankenstien or even The Mummy gone the costumes that we all loved the classics that we thought would never go out of fashion.

Classic and Modern Halloween Ghost Costumes
Classic Ghost Costume
Ghosts and Ghouls roam around the earth every Halloween enjoying their freedom for the one night of the year that they are allowed out of their graves.
It was once the case where you would take an old sheet out of your linnen cupboard cut 2 holes for eyes and you would have an instant ghost costume, cutting up bedsheets these days though would probably work out more expensive than buying today's version of the old classic.
The classic ghost costume is a white silky fabric with printed facial features including eyeholes for your little one to see out of cut to size with ragged edges means that this costume will be a better fit than that old bedsheet your child always tripped on.

Classic Batman and Modern Batman
Classic Batman Costume
POW! WALLOP! KAPLOOOOOEEE! we all remember those days of the Classic Batman series and the costume he wore The caped crusader wore a blue cape with a grey vest which had the bat logo on the chest, he also wore the classic mask with bat ears and of course the blue tights even today adults would recognise this batman in the streets but kids would tell you that he is not the real batman.
The Modern Batman
The Modern day Batman is a darker more sinister character, so much so that it is sometimes dificult to distinguish if he is the good guy or the bad guy. dressed all in black in this Muscle chest jumpsuit with attached boot tops, headpiece, cape and belt.
The caped crusader has undergone a massive transformation some say for the better others disagree, but no matter which of the 2 costumes you prefer you will be instantly recognised at any costume party.
it used to be that the good guys in movies wore white and the bad guys wore black, How things have changed.

Thought I'd come back for a reread and to share since Halloween is almost here!
Great Hub on Halloween costumes. My kids are all too big to dress up for Halloween, but I love to see the little guys who come to the door. I voted this UP,e tc.
I am with Linda on this and love the new witch costume. Great job here and very detailed, as well as informative for the upcoming Halloween season. Have voted up, shared and tweeted too!!
I like the witch costume. I need to remember to take my broom in for a tune-up since Halloween will be here soon enough!
i really enjoyed the mummy costume but i think you need more girl costumes in here but you know you tru to find what you can get right?? well really enjoyed reading this it gave me tons of ideas!! so thanks again
Lots of good ideas here. My favorite is still the classic ghost, it's just so adorable!
Nicely arranged hub. I enjoyed reading it.
this made me think of my costume as a young girl.I wore my favorite Geisha Girl costume for many years..and wouldn't consider nay other.it became my classic costume.
This is one fantastic Hub! I hadn't really thought about the classic costumes being redone in totally new ways nowadays. For me, it ain't a witch unless she has greenish skin and a wart at the end of her nose! ;-) Nice job, Jimmy.
I totally love what you did here... It's great to see how it's evolved but also that the throwbacks are still available.
great choice of costumes, though Im curious why the only women's costumes are witches! And 1 gothic mummy .. I think this Halloween you are in for nothing but tricks! Boo :)
