Halloween is getting closer and closer and you still have not found the perfect costumes for your family. This can be a difficult decision and trying to get the entire family costumes that match. There are ways to do this that can be fun for the entire family. One great family costume idea is going as the Adams Family or the Munsters.
These are two famous scary families that offer costumes for Mom and Dad along with the kids. If there are more than two children, one can go as cousin it by wearing a fur coat with a long wig worn backwards. Mom can dress up as Morticia and Dad as Gomez. Wednesday and Pugsly are going to make up the rest of the family. You can even get more creative by having a box with a hand in it to represent Thing, the hand that answers the phone and does stuff for the family. This is easy to make with a box and a severed hand that can be purchased at any Halloween supply store.
The Munsters are another of the famous scary television families. There are enough characters that the entire family can get involved. Mom and Dad can dress up as Lily and Herman with the children dressing up as Grandpa, Eddie and Marilyn. These costumes can easily be made at home with just a few supplies from the Halloween supply store. Get some black hair spray and black clothes with white and red face paint and you are done. Dress your daughter as Marilyn by getting a retro 60’s style dress and you are done and ready to go out as a family on Halloween!
