Na na na na na na na na BATMAN

The average person can spend thousands of hours watching television and movies throughout their lifetime. We talk about movies with our friends, on the internet, and when getting to know someone for the first time. Movie critics make a living out of having an opinion on the movies they watch and we trust them (or rather, some of us do) to tell us whether or not a movie is worth paying ten dollars to go see in the theater during opening week. With how involved movies are in our relationships and daily lives, its no wonder that being a movie character for Halloween would be a great way to impress friends. A few things to consider before choosing which movie to be a character from; do your friends watch the same kind of films as you, and would they recognize this character if he/she did not have a recognizable outfit? There’s really no fun in being a movie character that dresses like any old joe off the street, because what that really says is that you didn’t want to bother with a Halloween costume that year, and pulled some clothes out of your closet. (If you feel that you have to go this route, at least where a “hello my name is…” nametag) But the most fun comes from picking a recognizable character and acting a little like them while at the party.

One costume I would love to see is Nosferatu from the silent film by the same name. I don’t care that that film was made in in the 1920s, that creature is terrifying, moreso than a lot of current movie monsters that rely on gore to do the scaring.

Of course there are plenty of superhero movies out there and plenty of superheroes to be. You don’t even have to worry about making the costumes, as most of these are available to purchase.
