Great Halloween fancy dress ideas for 2013

If the same costume has been worn on many occasions, a completely different one should be purchased for Halloween 2013. Finding Halloween fancy dress costumes which are entirely unique can be difficult. There are many sources of inspiration for Halloween fancy dress costumes, such as the films which will be released before then. Here are a couple of great ideas based on films that will be out before 31^st October:

Lone Ranger

The original Lone Ranger TV series was very popular and a new film will be released in 2013. Starring Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as the Lone Ranger, it is expected to be a smash-hit. Their costumes are perfect to wear at Halloween. The Lone Ranger wears a black jacket, black trousers, white cowboy hat and an eye mask. Tonto normally has feathers which hang around his neck and his face is covered in white paint. A couple or group of friends could go to a fancy dress party as both Tonto and the Lone Ranger.

The Smurfs

The animation show The Smurfs is still loved by many people around the world and it continues to be parodied in the American TV Show Robot Chicken. A live action film was released in 2011 which starred Neil Patrick Harris and a sequel will be out in 2013. Many of the original actors and voice artists will be returning and a Smurf costume can be donned at Halloween. Bernadette and Howard dressed as Papa Smurf and Smurfette to a Halloween fancy dress party in an episode of The Big Bang Theory; the same type of Halloween Costume can be worn.

Percy Jackson

The first Percy Jackson film was released in 2010 and a sequel, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, will be out in 2013. Many ghoulish creatures will be in the film, such as a sea dragon. A costume which looks very similar could be purchased from an online retailer.

Man of Steel

The next Superman film, Man of Steel, stars Henry Cavill, Kevin Costner, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Russell Crowe. It is expected to be a summer blockbuster and a fancy dress party could have a Superman theme. Superman’s costume in the latest instalment is different than what Christopher Reeve or Dean Cain wore. For example, the blues on Superman’s costume are much darker and he doesn’t have red underwear. Many online retailers might have a Superman costume which is just like this. Therefore, a man can dress up and look just like Henry Cavill.

Leatherface

The demonic character Leatherface first appeared in the 1974 movie The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. An imposing figure, Leatherface is the star of the latest version which was titled Texas Chainsaw 3D that was released in January 2013. His costume can be recreated by purchasing a fake chainsaw, black dungarees and red shirt. A deformed mask should be bought and also tubes of fake blood. Therefore, someone can buy a Leatherface Halloween Costume and pretend to be the demented killer.

Dressing up at Halloween is a lot of fun, especially when a convincing costume is bought or created. By searching around for an online retailer of scary fancy dress costumes, the right outfit will be purchased.
