It’s easy to dress up as a bloody zombie ghoul or a sexy cheerleader. Pimp and prostitute parties are so old and no one wants to see another vampire right?

Funny Halloween Costumes are the Rage

The newer trends are much lighter and bring a laugh and smile to the neighborhood. Young or old alike, people genuinely love funny Halloween costumes. My website, BargainWingman dives into what’s hilarious for this year and gives you suggestions on costumes and masks.

Costume and Mask Ideas

Take the ultra popular rubber horse head mask as an example. It’s simple, it’s weird and it’s very funny. For some reason, anyone wearing this mask (man, woman or child) brings a laugh and a chill to the crowd. There’s a sub culture forming around these masks as well – you can now buy a unicorn, a squirrel and more – all equally funny and creepy. It’s the perfect Halloween costume.

Halloween is a holiday that grown from a simple children’s night to something that’s become more of a tradition for adults alike. Some prefer costumes that are flat our frightening while others enjoy the lighter side. Funny Halloween costumes for women, guys and kids have seen a significant trend upwards over the past few years.

Why the uptick in funny Halloween costumes?

One reason we’re seeing more of these types of costumes is due to technology and price decreases. Manufactures can install small fans inside many costumes that can keep a costume inflated – so one can dress as a sumo wrestler or other blow up character.

Spandex and other stretchy material has also come down in price so much that full body suits have become increasingly popular. Dress up as a green alien or a sock monkey – just about anything is possible in a body suit. You’ll draw a crowd and a laugh wherever you go.

We have seen zombie and vampire trends over the past ten years and frankly, shoppers and families alike are looking for something new and different. There’s no reason not to look at funny Halloween costumes because Halloween is all about fun and nothing else. With so much focus on world events that disappoint and frighten us, people want an excuse to have a belly laugh and enjoy a holiday without fear.

Happy Halloween!
