  • Angry Birds Halloween Costumes: A Fun & Unique Idea!

    Posted on September 3, 2011 by spooky

    Are you familiar with Angry Birds? It is the ridiculously addictive game that’s been played by thousands of smartphone and tablet computer users all over the world. The game has become so popular, in fact, that official Angry Birds Halloween costumes have now been released!

    Choosing the Angry Birds theme for Halloween is excellent if there are a few of you who want to coordinate your costumes. There are quite a few characters in this game, meaning more unique costumes to choose from. This costume is also suitable for both kids and adults, as it’s a game played by all ages.

    Officially Licensed Angry Birds Costumes

    The good news is that it’s easy to get the Angry Birds look just right if you choose to buy an officially licensed costume. Here’s the lowdown on what’s available:

    Red Bird: This is the classic character you think of when you imagine Angry Birds. The red bird of the earlier levels looks fierce! This costume is designed to stand out from your body in the round bird shape – it comes with pillow pouches so you can stuff it into shape.

    Yellow or Black Birds: Fancy going as the yellow or black bird instead? These are other big costumes that’ll create the right shape for the bird’s body, with holes for your face, arms and legs.

    King Pig: The last choice is for you to go as the green King Pig. This is the pig that the birds are angry at and want to see destroyed! This is a classic green color, featuring the pig’s snout, eyes and small golden crown.

    Whichever character you play, remember that the birds really are angry! After all, the pigs have stolen all of their eggs. It’s time to take revenge if they want to survive! This could make for some fun interactions between the birds and the pigs on Halloween, if you can get enough of you together wearing costumes based around this theme.

    Can You Make Your Own Angry Birds Halloween Costumes?

    There’s no reason why you can’t attempt to make your own Angry Birds Halloween costumes, but it could be hard to get the round shape of the bird right. That said, as long as you get the distinctive facial features correct you’ll probably still look recognizable as one of these fun characters.

    Go one step further and you could even create a large catapult to bring with you to the Halloween party. You’re not really going to be catapulting yourself towards green pigs, of course, but it’s a fun prop that makes the costume even more real.

    And don’t forget one key fact about the angry birds – they don’t have wings!

  • Inspiration for Halloween Costume Ideas

    Posted on August 7, 2011 by spooky

    If you’re looking for an excuse to have a party and it’s getting close to the end of October, why not think about celebrating Halloween? There are plenty of Halloween costume ideas to opt for. Which one will scare the daylights out of everyone you know?

    A great place to start is with the wide range of horror films that have done the rounds over the years. Think of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, the Scream franchise and of course Halloween itself. These all feature a very recognizable character that would be great for a Halloween party outfit. Would you look good as Freddy Krueger for example, or would you prefer to dress up as Jack Skellington from the Nightmare before Christmas? Whatever option you go for you can see the movies hold plenty of great ideas.

    There are other more obvious ideas you can opt for as well. Think about traditional Halloween themes such as skeletons, pumpkins and ghosts for example. More generic ideas for costumes are great because they can be done cheaply instead of buying a proper costume. You’d be amazed what you can do with a white sheet!

    It’s good to know that Halloween costume ideas don’t have to be expensive. There are plenty of great stores online that stock dozens of costumes to fit all sizes. But you can stick to a homemade costume if you prefer.

    If you are going to a Halloween party (or planning one of your own), make sure you know whether it is an adult only party or not. Some costumes, such as vampires, Dracula outfits and devils for example, are much more adult in nature and can cover far less skin too. They’re not ideal for parties that have lots of children in attendance, that’s for sure!

    Speaking of children you can get a whole range of outfits specifically designed for kids as well. Alternatively you can make your own. One of the easiest is probably to do a skeleton by making bones out of white material and stitching them to a black t-shirt and leggings. Once you’ve got your thinking cap on you will be amazed at how many ideas you can come up with.

    The important thing is to buy or make your chosen outfit in plenty of time. Don’t leave it until just a few days before Halloween, otherwise you might not be able to get the outfit you want or make it in time. Remember that everyone else will be looking for Halloween costume ideas as well, so it pays to get ahead of the crowd.
