Back in the ’80s, in order to go Trick or Treating as a pop culture character, you usually had to wear an uncomfortable Ben Cooper costume with the vinyl jumpsuit and plastic mask with tiny eye/mouth holes. If you want to remember some of those Ben Cooper costumes from that decade, click on that link. Nowadays, we are lucky enough to have HalloweenCostumes.com to help us dress up like some of our favorite ’80s characters.
Here are some of my favorite options for ’80s Character Costumes available from HalloweenCostumes.com…
Purple Rock Legend (artist actually known as Prince)
Macho Man, Ultimate Warrior & Hulk Hogan
Cobra Kai (regular or skeleton)
Beetlejuice (say it three times)
Inigo Montoya (you killed my father, prepare to die) from The Princess Bride
Marty McFly & Jennifer Parker from Back to the Future
ALF (Gordon Shumway)
Smurfette (can go all out with blue face paint, too!)
Zoltar from Big
John Bender & Clair Standish from The Breakfast Club
Push It Pop Star (Salt or Pepa)
Mr. Stay Puft, Louis Tully & Gozer the Gozerian from Ghostbusters
This is in no way a comprehensive list of all of the ’80s costumes available. Be sure to check out the tremendous selection at HalloweenCostumes.com yourself and let me know if I missed any that you feel I should have included on my list. Have a totally awesome Halloween!
