With the month of October comes two things. First, the realisation that Christmas is almost here again already. Where does the time go every year? The second realisation is that Halloween is just around the corner, and you don’t have a costume for one of the many fancy dress parties you’ve been invited to. It’s not just a bummer that actual thought has to go into choosing a costume, kitting yourself out for the Halloween party season can be an expensive task. Our Compare.ie guide will save you money on your Halloween costume, and leave you less spooked when you look at your bank balance!

How to choose a Halloween costume

Pardon the pun, but ghouls, witches, and spooky things have been all done to death. If you’re looking for a safe bet at the last minute, fair enough, but if you really want to stand out at your Halloween party, try to go for something a little more interesting.

2010 has been a year of ups and downs, for celebrities, politicians, and – even though he didn’t grace our shores – The Pope himself.  Why not choose a costume from some the main stories and scandals of the year for them.  Here’s some inspiration (including the aforementioned Pope).

The Pope

If you’re looking for a controversial costume in so many ways, you’re on the right track with this fantastic Pope Costume (£30.99 from Fancydress.com).  Don’t forget to bless the wine!

Mr. Burns

Even if you’re not a Simpsons fan, chances are you know or have heard some Mr. Burns one-liners in your time.  Spend the entire evening saying ‘Yeeeessss Smithersssss’ in this great Halloween costume.  £40.00 from Fancydress.com.

Charleston Honey

Vintage will always be the rage, and if you’re looking for something Moulin Rouge-ey, how about this Charleston Honey costume.  You’re guaranteed to be the centre of attention in this one.    £40.00 from Fancydress.com.

5th Avenue Girl

Whether it’s the Sex and the City look, or Audrey Hepburn, this 5th Avenue Girl will have every male in the room looking at you when you walk through the door.  Don’t forget to raise lift your sunnies and raise your eyes to heaven when they feed you a stupid chat up line!  £29.99 from Fancydress.com.

Sticking within your budget

Remember – don’t get carried away!  You might only wear the costume for one year – that’s one Halloween to be specific – so don’t lose the run of yourself.  Set yourself a budget, and stick to it.

Think ahead

Do you have any other fancy dress occasions coming up?  Could you use your costume – or a variant of it – for them?  Do you have any friends who are going to separate parties, so you could split the cost?  Think ahead, and you could save €€€’s.

Can you get a discount?

Many fancy dress costume stores have discounts ongoing.  At the moment, Fancydress.com are giving 10% off all first time orders when you use code AF10OCT at the checkout.
