The Best AC Content on Budget Movie Themed Costumes for Halloween

Halloween is just around the corner & right now is the time to get your costume ready! Some of the least expensive & most unique are based on our favorite movies, so we've assembled a list of the best guides available. We've chosen guides that rely mostly on creating your own costume, most without masks. Whether you're into Twilight or Gone with the Wind, love Johnny Depp or Patrick Swayze, we've got you covered!

From Dirty Dancing to Roadhouse on a Budget
In honor of the late Patrick Swayze & his many films, we have a full costume guide for men. All costumes are inexpensive, easy to put together since most of Patrick Sayze's roles were not heavily costumed, they require only items you may already have in your closet.

Yo Ho, Yo Ho A Pirates Life For Me!
Ever since Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl, guys have loved to dress up as Johny Depp's Jack Sparrow & girls have loved to look at them do so. Our favorite guide--even covering hair & make up--is Jack Sparrow Halloween Costume Tips . Who knew you could look dirty & hot at the same time?　

No blood, no foul.
With New Moon just weeks away & Twilight popularity at an all time high, we predict the most popular move costumes this year will be Edward Cullen & Bella Swan.

For Bella, we've chosen Bella Costume: Top 7 Web Sites for Twilight Bella Swan Halloween Costume Ideas. Although this guide is more about buying the costume than making it, for this particular costume we think it's the best way to go as there are so many sites available with the exact items from the film.

Our favorite guide for Twilight's Edward Cullen is the short yet extremely thorough Edward Cullen from Twilight Halloween Costume Ideas. Explaining in detail everything you'll need including face, hair, clothes & extra touches, this short & simple guide is a must read if you're planning on going as the hottest vampire this year.　

There's No Business Like Show Business

His Claws are Worse than His Bite
Maybe glamor isn't your style. Maybe you want something dirty, spiky and very very wild. Maybe you were inspired by Huge Jackman in this year's Wolverine and all the X-Men films. If so, we love this budget friendly guide for A Simple Wolverine Costume.

The Best of Both Worlds

BRAINS!
