Movies and Halloween Costumes
Halloween costumes have certainly evolved over the years.
Back in the Celt days when Halloween started, costumes
often consisted of wearing dead animal skins and heads. That slowly evolved
until reaching the standard 1950’s Charlie brownish sheet over the head
with two holes in it for eyes ghost. However, recently Halloween has
become more exciting than ever. Now there is such a variety of new costumes
that getting candy isn’t the only fun part about trick or treating anymore.
Every year, it’s a blast to see what new costumes have come out.
Right now a lot of new cinema hits are coming out. So many new popular movies have really made opportunity for costume developers to come out with many new costumes. Just in the past few years alone we have had Spider-Man 3, another Pirates of the Caribbean, X-Men 3, The Simpsons Movie, and many other huge blockbusters. With anyone of the above said movies, there is a line of new exciting costumes. Because of the increase in the popularity of movies in the past few years, Halloween has become very exciting.
Having a cool Halloween costume is important for kids now. A kid in his cardboard box outfit just doesn’t feel comfortable next to the kid in the brand new Spiderman costume. It’s important for kids to feel good about their costumes to be able to fully enjoy Halloween.
In just a short period of time, we went from bed sheets to having everything available now. At the rate that Halloween is growing, it will be exciting to see what things are like a few years down the road. Commercialism and diversity have really spiced Halloween up and will continue to make it more interesting.
