Halloween may be once a year, but for many who love the holiday, it's a big event. And for good reason. It's a chance to get spooky and have a lot of fun. There are haunted houses, hayrides, and scary movies. For others, there are cool decorations like spiderwebs, bats, and pumpkins. So many pumpkins. And, of course, there are the costumes — a huge part of Halloween. Costumes come in handy for the trick-or-treating, but since its so ingrained in our culture, there may be other opportunities to rock them, too. School may have Halloween-themed parades or classmates may have dress-up birthday parties. Sometimes, OK a lot of times, kids even want to wear costumes all year.
And honestly, we get it. Dressing up is fun! It's a chance to become something different and enjoy that kid-like imagination they get to experience all the time. Some people go all-out for Halloween, while others like to stick to pop culture themes. There are family costumes and costumes that are just meant for the bigger kids and teens (like those Pennywise ones!). Whatever type of costume a person likes, it shouldn't break the bank. Since the holiday is creeping up already, Walmart released a list of costumes that are both affordable and trendy. We decided to share them here to make sure everyone has a shot at having the best Halloween. From the Toy Story toys to a full comic book roster of super heroes, most cost $20 or less. And don't worry, there's options for grown-ups, too, because we know they'll likely want to join in on the fun.
Take a look at the costumes below and have fun planning. 'Tis the season!
Batman
Batman is the one of the super heroes who comes with a sick ride, the Batmobile. What's the saying? "Always be yourself unless you can be Batman, then always be Batman."
