Halloween Costume Ideas For 2009 – What’s Hot This Holiday Season

With Halloween just a Witches Broom trip away, no doubt you are looking for a costume to wear to the all important party. Here are a few ideas that might get your creative juices going.

Well, Barack Obama has been president less than a year but he has already made a big impression on the world stage to the extent that he is iconic and perfect as a costume idea. Obama face masks are all over and it would be a simple costume to pull off. Simply wear the mask and his trademark man of the people shirt and tie. Couples might want to go as the first couple – Barack and Michelle.

Michael Jackson will probably be remembered more than ever this year as people continue to come to terms with his sad passing. What could be more appropriate for a Halloween costume than the Thriller costume as worn by Michael. You can even get the Bad or Billy Jean outfits if they have more significance to you.

Movies will always inspire costume ideas. Old classics, like Star Wars, Indiana Jones, pirates of the Caribbean and many more will be popular. However more recent films such as Transformers, GI Joe and Public Enemies will make characters like Optimus Prime, Snake Eyes, John Dillinger and gangster wear and gangsters molls fresh in the thoughts of people looking for Halloween costume ideas for 2009.

New films might also inspire some costume ideas. The soon to be released version of Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton is sure to kick start interest in the peculiar and unique characters from the famous novel. With Johnny Depp about to play the Mad Hatter, he will become a popular costume choice, along with many of the other characters, including Alice herself, the white rabbit, the grinning Cheshire Cat, Tweedledee and Tweedledum (great couple costume) and a host of others.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ensures that children all over the world will be clamoring to dress up like the boy Wizard. A latest offering, due out for 2010 will keep Harry as popular as ever.

As a left field costume idea, how about going as Susan Boyle. Her star seems to be on the wane of late but who can forget her memorable performance of  “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables. As she is releasing a new album in the next couple of months, expect there to be a bit of buzz about her. Brush up on your Scottish accent..oh and your singing too !

Greatest Hits $3.57 One of ZZ Top’s great gifts is its concision; even in the side-long-jam era of the ’70s, the Texans almost always fit 10 cuts on their albums. Surveying two decades of their output, Greatest Hits isn’t the perfect overview you might expect, but it’s still a pretty darn good driving album. The disc goes easy on the pre-Deguello stuff surveyed on their earlier best-of, and seems to digitally boost t…

The Rescuers Down Under [VHS] $5.50 No, this isn’t a quickie, direct-to-video sequel, cashing in on the success of the 1977 animated hit about adventurous mice, but a full-blown theatrical effort. This time around, Bernard (voiced by Bob Newhart) is trying to pop the question to Bianca (Eva Gabor) when they’re summoned to Australia, where a young boy has been kidnapped by a pallid, gray-faced poacher (who looks like and is voi…
