Guys Halloween Costume

(4) If you noticed that advertised Halloween wigs were describe as "clearance, " wouldn't it give you pause to consider that your choice might not exactly make you the life of the party? Nonetheless, from buycostumes.com, fellows may opt for Link Larkin* (who?) at $7.99, or a monk with a male pattern bald spot (???) at $9.99. Ladies might go for the "Oh No You Di'nt Adult Wig" (tight spring curls) for $16.99, but again, your peer partygoers might not understand what it's all supposed to be about, and you'll regret that you di'nt look for a different wig.

(5) Continuing in the bafflement department, the halloweenstore.com site offers a "Blonde Afro Wig Like Harpo Marx, " and the person wearing it not only is Caucasian, but female. That's a double ??? ??? Maybe that's why the Blonde Afro Wig Like Harpo Marx is priced at only $7.99. But in fairness there also are some good options here, especially the various Bouffaint '60s Flip Wig selections at $14.99. Look for some knee-length skirt/blouse/jacket outfits that will have you looking like Elizabeth Montgomery in TV's "Bewitched, " or possibly Mary Tyler Moore from "The Dick Van Dyke Show."

(6) Does a fellow really need to pay for a heavy metal rocker wig? Couldn't he just find an old mop and die it black? Still, spirithalloween.com will sell you a heavy metal rocker wig for $24.95. For the same price, the heavy metal rocker's significant other may purchase a punk-style super streak shag wig.

(7) To close on a positive note, some of the best-looking Halloween wigs on the web (at some of the best prices), are found on costumehub.com. Elvis (or maybe Fonzie) impersonators may take note of the adult black pompadour at $24.95, far superior to the basic Adult Elvis wig for $16.99.

* Link Larkin was a side character in the movie "Hairspray, " played by Michael St. Gerard (1988) and Zoe Efron (2007). Don't expect a whole lot of your peer partygoers to recognize this fact.
