Best AC Content: Top Halloween Costumes for 2009

Halloween is a creative, fun time of the year! We can dress up and really become someone else for the day. Here are some ideas of great Halloween Costumes for 2009, including costumes for women, children, groups, and pets.

1- Lady Gaga Halloween Costume:

We've all seen Lady Gaga and her strange, unique sense of style. Just think about what she wore most recently at MTV's Video Music Awards! She's a perfect influence and inspiration for Halloween. As described in the article, you can dress up as a Lady Gaga vampire, Mummy Lady Gaga, or a Bloody Lady Gaga (like her performance wear at the recent VMAs).

2- Michael Jackson Halloween Costume:

Since Michael Jackson passed away this year, I know tribute and lookalike costumes will be worn everywhere! To make your own Michael Jackson costume, follow the advice in this article. You can choose looks from Billie Jean, Thriller, Motown, etc. Remember your MJ moves too!

3- Pirate Halloween Costume:

Pirate costumes could never get old. There are so many creations and styles you can wear, from a Buccaneer to a Scalawag to Captains. You can easily make your own pirate costume from torn clothing and corset tops. Don't forget the pirate skull and bones accessories.

4- Swine Flu:

Talk about being creative! This Swine Flu costume is sure to bring attention to yourself. You'll be dressed in a bathrobe, looking horrible, carrying tissues, like you really have the flu. Then on your shirt you'll have a picture of a pig. Most intelligent folks will put two and two together to see you're Swine Flu for Halloween! I love this idea! It's also a great last minute costume, as the article mentioned.

5- Sexy Devil Halloween Costume:

Sexy costumes are pretty popular among young people, especially at college Halloween parties. A sexy devil, as detailed in this article, you'll be wearing a black corset top, red mini skirt, red stockings, garters, black boots, elbow length gloves, devil horns, pitch fork, and tail. Your lips will be red and your eyes will be seductive.

6- GI Joe Halloween Costume:

GI Joe, the movie, came out this year and many people loved it. If you or your children really enjoyed the movie, becoming GI Joe characters for Halloween is a great idea. These costumes are sure to be a hit this year. Snake Eyes, Joe Duke, Shadow Storm, all these are good ideas. You will find GI Joe outfits at many seasonal costume shops, and under $30!

7- Pet Costume Patterns:

Let's be honest here, pet costumes are cute! This article outlines exactly where you can find free pet costume patterns. Locate a pattern you like, print it out, find some material at a local craft or fabric store, then piece it together. So for Halloween 2009, dress up your dog and take him/her trick or treating too!

8- Octomom & Babies Group Costume:

We all know Nadya Suleman and her controversial story. For Halloween, you and a group of friends should be Octomom and her eight babies! One lady in the group will dress as Nadya, and then 8 other adults will be outfitted and primped up as babies. This will be a fun group costume for sure!

9- Homemade Smurfs Costume:

Homemade costumes can be very cheap and easy to make and allow you to really add your own touches to the outfit. The Smurfs cartoon is an idea for simple homemade costumes. Blue body paint and white clothing are pretty much all you need to become a Smurf!

10- Ray Charles Costume:

There are costumes fitting for people with disabilities or handicaps. For an individual who may be blind, he can be Ray Charles for Halloween, which I think is a great idea! All you'll need is a flashy jacket, bow tie, and sunglasses. During the night, use Ray Charles song names in your Halloween night conversations, as the article suggests.
