Costumes are a big part of Halloween.

Be what you want... or what you're scared of... or just something entertaining. Many people use Halloween as an opportunity to be what they can't or wouldn't even want to be in their normal life.

Many costumes have different variations: scary, sexy, cute, old-fashioned, heroic, or specific colors. So, although the witch costume is listed below under scary, it could have an eighteenth century version, a sexy version or a cute child's version.

Oddball or not normal life[]

Anything can become a costume -- Halloween related, or totally unrelated. Children can dress in adult, professional clothing; adults can dress as children or teens or in professions totally unlike their everyday life. The careers may be perfectly normal, but the costumes are usually caricatures or inappropriate in some way.
