Halloween is fast-approaching, as a Celebrity Gossip blog has pointed out
, meaning those seeking fancy dress outfits for the event should get thinking.
The news source stated that there are a number of possibilities for Halloween costumes this year.
It remarked: "If you want to be a head turner at the Halloween party, avail yourself of a styled costume to highlight your [sense of humour]. Let your imagination run wild and dress up your stand-out Halloween look for fun."
Among the options for revellers this year who do not wish to go down the spooky-themed route are fancy dress outfits that are based on movies.
One blockbuster out in the cinemas over the last 12 months was 3D sensation Avatar.
The blog remarked: "The blue faced creatures have become a hit and will definitely make their mark on Halloween parties everywhere."
Meanwhile, those looking to scare their friends and family could go for Halloween costumes that are inspired by horror films. It suggested that people who do so will "get noticed in an instant and have some real laughs".
On a different path, some people may wish to be more unusual and opt for an oriental style such as a Geisha.
It commented: "If you are looking for something different to dress up, an adult geisha
costume is a perfect outfit."
Such attire can be both "elegant and striking" and is bound to stand out from the crowd, it claimed.
It also pointed out that such an appearance will be different from the many spooks and witches that are often present at parties and other events on the night.
While traditionally it was almost exclusively scary looks that people went for at Halloween, this has changed over recent years and there are now a plethora of costumes on display in a range of themes.
