Ladies and gentlemen, we've officially entered October. As part of our commitment to ensuring your Halloween party goes off with a bang, we're going to be posting here every single day with ideas, themes and costumes that'll make Halloween 2009 a day to remember. We're gonna kick off with a great looking, unique Halloween costume: the Beetlejuice costume.
Beetlejuice came out in 1988, and to this day it remains one of the funkiest and coolest movies to have ever been released. Michael Keaton played the infamous character - a wacky bio-exorcist hired by ghosts to evict a vile couple who have just moved into their old house. Directed by Tim Burton, the film was both gruesome, clever and funny all at the same time!
Halloween's about exploring the link between the living and the dead, which makes a Beetlejuice costume one of the best choices around. Sure, you could choose a traditional vampire or zombie outfit, but you want to stand out and you want to look unique. You also want to have fun, and there's no behaviour too weird for Beetlejuice, so you can really go wild on October 31st.
So what makes Beetlejuice look like he does? Well, there's the trademark black and white striped jacket and trousers, the wacky straggly electro-hair and the gaunt and pale facial expression. If you want to get this amazing look, all you need is the Beetlejuice costume. Just throw in the Beetlejuice makeup kit to achieve a personalised facial look.
There's 30 days until Halloween. Join us for the ride as we count down the latest and greatest costume ideas. We'll see you tomorrow for number 2!
