Fraggle Rock Costumes


Every year it gets harder and harder to find a costume that a) you like and b) not everyone else is already wearing.

So where do you go for Halloween costume ideas? One answer is to examine the past and find inspiration.

As a child I loved Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock that ran for 4 season.  I was stoked to come across a selection of Fraggle Rock costumes.

There were 4 separate Fraggle costumes you could purchase.  Fraggle fans of the 80's  children's program show will be familiar with Mokey, Red, Gobo and Wembley.  I have not come across a Boober costume which is a little disappointing.  He was my favorite Fraggle.

Not a fan of the Fraggles? What other retro television show did you love? Do these shows translate into Halloween costume fun?

Ursula Costume

Disney characters make great costumes, though, most costumes are fashioned after the hero.  Halloween is about scary fun.  Why not send a few chills up some spines dressed as a Disney Villain.    May I suggest an Ursula costume inspired by the Disney classic The Little Mermaid.

I pity the poor unfortunate souls who will be visited by Ursula this year.  Costume makes a great idea for parents of little ones dressed up as Ariel.
