5 Best Inflatable Halloween Costumes

Achieve a Bigger Than Life Look with Inflatable Costumes

Erika Northman
Stop right there. I know some of you are thinking that the only inflatable costumes they have seen are giant hotdogs or ice cream cones dancing on the sidewalk trying to get you to stop and buy. However, there are a lot more options than giant fruit, vegetables or other food items. There is no doubt that an inflatable costume provides a larger than life look and can be comic but they can also be creative and fun. Here are 5 of the best inflatable Halloween costumes you can find on the internet.

1. Tacky Tourist
This is the stereotypical American tourist look and comes with large shorts, printed shirt and an inflatable camera. The shorts/shirt outfit is one piece. To complete the look, add a safari or straw hat, sunglasses, flip flops or tivas and don't forget to smear some zinc oxide (you know that white greasy stuff) on your nose.

Price: $29.95

2. 80s Rocker
With an inflatable black and silver "rock and roll" guitar, you can star as an 80s rocker this Halloween. The key color is BLACK with some white or neon colors thrown in. For girls, layer your outfit. You can tie your top shirt at the waist or let hang crumpled. Whatever you do, don't tuck it in or let it hang straight down. Leggings were optional but boots are a must. Add big hair, heavy make-up and thick silver jewelry and you are ready to have some fun. For guys, long hair topped with a hat is a must. Add eyeliner, black nail polish and heavy silver jewelry and you are ready to rock.

Price: $3.99

3. Headless HorseMan
The Sleepy Hallow legend had it that there was a man whose head was blown off during the Revolutionary War by a canon. Be his ghost this Halloween with this not-so-scary inflatable costume. You sit upon your horse wearing black trousers, white shirt and maroon vest while carrying a jack o'lantern as your severed head. A battery operated fan (but not the batteries) is included.

4. Jabba the Hut
Star Wars fans line up here. Slither into this inflatable costume for the greasy, fat, red-eyed criminal of Star Wars who tried to take out Luke Skywalker, make Princess Leigh his sex slave and put a bounty out on Hans Solo. This is a full body costume complete with a battery operated fan (batteries not included).

Jump back into history a bit and get in touch with your primitive side. This inflatable fully bearded cave man comes a deerskin tunic, cheetah shoulder sash, fur wrist and ankle bands and a big wooden club.
