Rubie's Costume Co
Jurassic World Inflatable T-Rex

Bottom Line

This popular inflatable costume stands nearly 7 feet tall and is practically guaranteed to be a hit at Halloween parties. Not for big or tall users, however.

Pros

Very convincing animated effect. Maximum entertainment value for children's parties. Fabric is durable.

Cons

Seams can become uncomfortable/abrasive. Fan motor is anemic. Very tight fit; not "one size fits all."

Star Wars
Darth Vader Full Face Mask
Check Price
Bottom Line

This full-face mask is a high-quality version of an iconic science fiction character. Some modifications may improve comfort, but it is definitely convincing.

Pros

Affordable alternative to expensive Darth Vader helmets. Two-piece helmet, not just a mask. Generous proportions; should fit most adults.

Cons

Visibility can be an issue. Interior of mask has sharp edges. Difficult to wear for long periods of time.

Best Bang for the Buck
California Costumes
Cutthroat Pirate Costume
Check Price
Bottom Line

The swashbuckler is always a popular Halloween costume choice, and this kit includes pants, shirt, vest, headband, and belt. You may have to buy additional accessories, however.

Pros

Well-designed shirt and pants create a "puffy" effect. Very attractive price point for an entire costume. Comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Cons

The fit can be larger/roomier than expected. Red dye may cause stains. Some complaints of unpleasant odors.

Full Body Spandex/Lycra Suit
Check Price
Bottom Line

For those who seek versatility when creating Halloween costumes, a Spandex/Lycra body suit is a good way to start. We recommend wearing undergarments for improved modesty.

Pros

Can be worn by itself or as the basis for a more elaborate costume. Exceptionally comfortable for extended wear. Sizing charts are very accurate.

Cons

Visibility when fully zipped is limited. Material can be very sheer, especially "nude" color. Overall fit could be disappointing.

Bottom Line

Horror movie buffs will enjoy scaring other Halloween party guests with this authentic Michael Myers mask. We like the affordable price point as well.

Pros

Very accurate recreation of iconic horror character. Good visibility and fit. Thicker latex retains shape.

Cons

Mask may be too small for adults with larger heads. Hair is challenging to style. Color/design of real mask varies from photo.
