Work, bills, and responsibilities. Ugh! Growing up sure seems to be the pits, but it's not all bad! You can eat ice cream any time you want, you can stay up late, and you don't have to answer to your parents when choosing your Halloween costume. Let's face it, our parents all made us wear a humiliating costume at one point in time! Did we mention that adult Halloween costumes are way cooler than the ones for kids? Don't believe it? Check out some of these adult costumes and prepare to have a whole new perspective on adult life.
Men's Movie Costumes
Top Gun Costume Scarecrow Costume Joker Costume
Mr. Incredible Costume Marty McFly Costume Forrest Gump Costume
Men's costumes have come a long way and these aren't the days of old when guys could only choose between a sheet with holes in it and a devil costume. Those costumes are classics, but nowadays, you can be everything from Marty McFly to The Joker. With choices like that, you can save your sheets for building blanket forts in the living room. (Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you have to stop building blanket forts).
Books and Television Costumes
Alf Costume Popeye Costume Fred Flintstone Costume
Bender Costume Waldo Costume Goku Costume
Television is another big part of being an adult. After a hard day's work, sometimes you want to just veg out on the couch with your favorite shows. So, of course, costumes based on the best TV shows are kind of a no-brainer. Whether you feel like showing everyone how you remember the exact movements of Kamehameha Wave in a Goku Costume, or you want a reason to yell Bender quotes without getting funny looks from strangers, these costumes will serve you well.
Funny Costumes
Man in a Gorilla Cage Costume Pee Wee Herman Costume Workout Video Star Costume
Ted Costume Lt. Dangle Costume German Beer Man Costume
A good laugh is priceless. When you're a kid, everything is funny, from boogers to knock-knock jokes. Adults have a more refined sense of humor! Okay, so maybe that's not true. What's funny is funny and these costumes don't pull any punches. You should get more than a few chuckles while wearing these costumes. Heck, you won't even need to use any of your “chicken who crossed the road” jokes to get a laugh.
Women's Movie Costumes
Cheshire Cat Costumes Top Gun Flight Dress Minion Costume

Ladies have it made when it comes to costumes. The days of choosing between a witch and a....witch are gone! If you've got a favorite movie, then there's probably a costume to go along with it. Minions, Top Gun, A League of Their Own? The only thing you can't be is the kitchen sink from that one scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Word on the street is that someone is working on a kitchen sink costume, but until then, you can still dress up like Jessica Rabbit.
Timeless Women's Costumes

From Marilyn Monroe to the classic beauties of the roaring 20's, these timeless costumes are the kind of thing a girl can wear year after year, without having to worry about them loosing appeal.
