With Halloween more than a month away, we figured that it would be a great idea to feature some cool costume ideas for the upcoming event where dressing up and getting free candy is the name of the game. Whether you’re a hyperactive youngster prowling the neighborhood for sweets or a young-at-heart college senior looking to impress at a costume party, Halloween is the perfect time for you to showcase some creative chops when it comes to making a statement in an eye-catching costume.
Marvel Studios has established itself as a popular global brand where their fantastic stories and characters have provided explosive entertainment for the masses and earned unwavering loyalty among hardcore fanboys and fangirls. And with the behemoth Hollywood company dominating the summer movie season this year with a double whammy of Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy, here are some awesome Halloween costumes for you to try inspired by some of Marvel’s memorable characters in their epic cinematic universe.
Groot
There’s no denying that the breakout star from Marvel’s riskiest and ballsiest feature film to date was the intergalactic arboreal giant with a gentle demeanor and a battle-ready attitude. Channel your inner Flora Colossus by creating a fierce Groot costume, such as this one where you can make your look for less than fifty dollars!
Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow
For all the tough and feisty girls out there (bonus points if you’re a natural redhead!), you can’t go wrong by going as the Black Widow for Halloween. The good news is that you don’t have to spend a fortune seeking out all that black leather for your costume, when you can just DIY the thing and still look awesome!
Agent Phil Coulson
Want to be a well-known Marvel character but don't want to shell out the big bucks for a spot-on costume? Then turn to Agent Phil Coulson from SHIELD to serve as your inspiration this Halloween. All you need is a sleek suit and some sunglasses to provide the basic look of your costume, and these are items which you can easily borrow from friends or relatives!
Thor Odinson
Based on the powerful god from Norse mythology, Marvel’s version of Thor is a strong fan favorite and appeals to both boys and girls who are keen on making a thunderous impact for Halloween dressing. Get tips on how to make your own Thor costume at home so you’ll be ready for candy-hunting action with your friends!
Tony Stark/Iron Man
So you want to be a genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist for Halloween? No problem. Looking like Tony Stark can be as easy as dressing up in a posh suit and tie or a black rock-band t-shirt with a goatee. Or if you want to be the superhero version of Tony Stark, then this homemade Iron Man outfit is just what you need to impress the folks dispensing the free candy to the trick-or-treaters this season. Be warned: making your own Iron Man armor will take a considerable amount of time and money to execute perfectly, so unless you don't have a problem with that, you might want to put off becoming Iron Man until next Halloween and just settle for being the charismatic Tony Stark instead.
