Plus Size Halloween Costumes

Every year it’s the same routine - Halloween costumes are made for skinny people. What no one seems to realize is that just because you wear a plus size Halloween costumes doesn’t mean you can’t look like a Halloween hottie in your Morticia Addams costume!

Where is the decent plus size Halloween costume selection? Online, that’s where. Yes, Socreepy could definitely shed some poundage, but the truth is, I often make my own Halloween costumes because the ones stocked in the stores fit, but they’re tight. It’s a drag, especially if you want to cut loose and have some fun at the Halloween party!! However, merchandisers are getting smarter (getting “hip” to the hips, I say) and putting together a much better selection of plus size Halloween costumes - for men and women.

So, here is the Socreepy plus size Halloween costume showcase (blah blah blah) . . . oh, and this GREAT SHIPPING OFFER:

Order $30.00 - $59.99 receive $1.99 shipping

Star Wars Halloween Costumes

It’s only fitting that this year, Star Wars Halloween costumes are VERY popular. Interestingly, the most popular choice is not Anakin Skywalker.

Here are the popular Star Wars Halloween Costumes searches this year:

- Storm Trooper Halloween costume
- Clone Trooper Halloween costume
- Princess Leia Halloween costume (sorry - I can’t find Princess Leia in her slave gear anywhere)
- Yoda Halloween costumes
- Darth Vader Halloween costume

I’m a little old school, so the Star Wars Halloween costumes I have made “do it yourself” instructions for are linked below. For actual licensed Star Wars Halloween costumes for adults and children, see the costumes that are displayed. May the force be with you.

If you are enough of a Star Wars fan to want to wear a Star Wars costume this year, then maybe you’re also interested in collectibles. Check out Star Wars Toy Museum for the latest news and product releases!

Uncle Fester Halloween Costume

If you want to be part of the Addams Family and you don’t suffer from Hawaiifiveoguyphobia (the fear of being mistaken for Telly Savalas), check out how easy it is to make an Uncle Fester Halloween Costume!

Items you will need:
Bald cap (or a bald head)
Black hooded robe
Black eye makeup
White makeup
Black shoes or boots
Fake lightbulb

Dress in comfortable clothes, covering it all with a full-length black hooded cape. If you have a bald head, you are a step ahead. If not, put on your bald cap. Apply white makeup to your entire head, being careful not to get any makeup in your eyes. Apply black eye makeup in a wide circle around each eye. Apply white makeup to your hands for added creepy effect. If you can find a plastic or toy lightbulb, you can put the plug end into your mouth from time to time, re-creating the famous scene when Uncle Fester places a lightbulb in his mouth and conducts electricity to it through his body.
