Now that it’s October, it’s time to start thinking about Halloween. Have you decided on a costume yet? If you haven’t, you may want to get to work. It’s a great time to buy costumes now, as you’ll have the biggest possible supply to choose from and you’ll generally be able to come across costumes at better prices now than you will in a few weeks.

Why wait until the last minute, when every store is jam packed with people and all that’s left in the store is some uncomfortable outfit no one wanted to wear, along with a few lousy wigs? I’ve done that before, and I’m not going to let it happen again.

Well, now’s the time to make a move. There are plenty of costume ideas out there, and much of it depends on your gender. Here are a few to potentially start you off.

You can always dress up as a celebrity if you’d like to. These always make for entertaining costumes. One such idea would be Susan Boyle if you’re a female. Bonus points if you like to sing.

Another one that the guys might enjoy is a Michael Jackson costume. Like the Boyle outfit, any female with long hair could probably pull this one off too.

These also make for entertaining and interesting costumes. If you can get the wig, the glove, some makeup, and the right kind of outfit, this can make for a great costume.

Yet another popular costume will be those who choose to dress up as one of the Obamas. This is his first year in office and you can be sure there will be lots of Obama costumes.

The Obama Halloween costume is sure to be a popular option this year. Whether you buy a mask or make your own, it should definitely be a fun one to pull off.
