Movie Halloween costumes are always a great idea. It wouldn’t be Halloween without people running around paying homage to their favorite movies, whether classic older films or the hot new movies of the year. Young or old, here we show you some of the great blockbusting options available for people looking for an on-trend costume this Halloween.
1. Batman Costume: Age has not diminished the Dark Knight’s appeal: gone are the hilarious nipple-suits of the nineties and in are the gritty rebooted costumes of the noughties. Whether you want to play the psychopathic Joker or the Dark Knight himself, there are many excellent costume options to choose from. All you have to do is pick your side.
2. Twilight Costume: There’s no denying that Twilight mania has struck the world, and the relatively easy nature of the characters’ costumes makes it even more accessible this Halloween. Children, teens and adults will all be clamoring for the roles from the film, or putting their own interpretation on Meyer’s vampires and ‘werewolves’.
3. Alice in Wonderland Costume: One of the most varied and eclectic choices on this list, Tim Burton’s distinctive style
is ever present in this gothic fairytale that re-imagines Alice in Wonderland. Whether Alice, the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit or the dastardly Red Queen, men women (and even household pets) can all dress up in unique finery for Halloween and start their very own mad tea party.
4. Avatar Costume: The Avatar Movie is already set to be a classic, showcasing the marvels of technology and imagination. From a costume point of view, the Na’vi raceare striking enough to be easily recognizable, but complex enough to pose a real challenge to serious costume creators. Furthermore, as the cosplaying and Na’vi roleplaying craze in America shows, there is endless variation and opportunity to make your own characters, until you could have a while Na’vi tribe to combat any soldier-costume-goers you find wandering around this Halloween!
5. Harry Potter Costume: An old favorite with plenty of fans and with literally countless options and places available to find costumes, all you need do is choose your house (Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff), choose your allegiance (Dumbledore or Voldemort) and go out there and make magic! Kids will love running around in either the uniforms or even Quidditch team outfits, and it won’t be long before adults are clamoring to join in until there’s not a Muggle to be found this Halloween!
6. Iron Man 2 Costume: Continuing a successful franchise, and with a visually striking hero, this year’s movie Halloween costumes are bound to have an added punch of heroism with the many options available for Iron Man fans.
7. Kick Ass Costume: Following in the superhero theme, Kick ass’s vibrant style means that it is sure to be a big hit this Halloween. Why not even try to make up your own heroic persona?
8. How to Train Your Dragon Costume: While not the usual choice of blockbuster, it sets to revitalize the almost dormant childhood loves of dragons and Vikings. Grabbed a horned helmet and some scales and get medieval this Halloween!
9. Shrek Costume: Speaking of medieval, few movies give as many options for costumes a the Shrek franchise, which rose to fame this year with its fourth installment. When literally every fairytale created is up for grabs as a costume, you’re bound to have fun, not to mention the costumes for the lead characters of the ogres Fiona and Shrek, Donkey, Puss in Boots, Dragon or even the adorable Gingerbread man.
10. Toy Story 3 Costume: and finally a fan for kids and nostalgia-addled teens and twenty-somethings, this Halloween promises to have an explosion of Toy story costumes, whether it’s updates of the old favorites into the real world: the cowboy Woody or the Spaceman Buzz Lightyear; or the newer characters. Either way, there’s fun to be had for all.
As these possible Movie Halloween Costumes show, it’s going to be one heck of a fun October. I hope you enjoy trick or treating, remember to buy your costumes as soon as possible!

"I have waited a long time for this my little green friend. At last the Jedi are no more." - Darth Sidious
"Not if anything to say about it I have." - Jedi Master Yoda
After the Jedi are betrayed by their former brother Anakin Skywalker, the attack of the Republic's Clone Army on their temple leaves the Jedi ranks dwindling and disheartened. In a final attempt to confront the Empire, Master Yoda infiltrates Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's chambers and confronts him with the knowledge that Palpatine is, in fact, the Sith Master - Darth Sidious. It was Sidious who has engineered the Clone Wars in order for the Sith to dominate the universe, and Yoda is the last chance at ending the conflict before the Empire takes control.
The most accomplished and respected of all Jedi Knights, Yoda is nearly 900 years old, but whatever frailty age has forced upon him disappears the moment he draws his lightsaber. An unparalleled warrior and practitioner of the Force, Yoda must overcome the devastating power of the Dark Side yielded by its absolute master, Darth Sidious.
Their epic lightsaber battle known as The Senate Duel begins in Palpatine's chambers and ends in the senate hall itself, both sides growing weaker yet unwilling to back down. When Yoda finally gains the upper hand, Sidious uses the Force to hurl the floating senate booths en mass at Yoda. Realizing this battle can only end in a stalemate, Yoda flees into exile to wait for a new hope.

Merchandise for the comic book movie KICK ASS is a bit thin on the ground, but there's a bunch of great stuff on the way for fans of this runaway hit based on the modern classic comic book series by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. The best selling Kick Ass movie merchandise available right now though is this set of four official movie posters.
There's a full cast shot and individual character posters of Kick Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist to collect, and they have all been designed to a very high standard. That's the beauty of Kick Ass- the film looks fantastic despite a lower budget than your average superhero flick, and the attention is always on the characters rather than the big set pieces. I can see Kick Ass movie merchandise being one of this year's big things for collectors of movie memorabilia.
The range of Iron Man 2 action figures that fans can check out is easily ahead of the figures that were available for the first movie's release. The big deal this time of course is that there's a War Machine figure to collect as well, which is one of the main selling points for this movie for a lot of fans.
Along with Iron Man 2 action figures of all of the versions of the Iron Man armour and War Machine as seen in the movie, there are also a bunch of comic based Iron man action figures in the range too. All of them look superb, and hopefully this time round they will be maade in greater quantities, as last time they sold out so fast that it was impossible to keep up with demand!

Alice In Wonderland is here! The new Tim Burton movie, set after the original events of the famous Alice In Wonderland tale, is wowing viewers with its incredible visuals and its melding of CG elements with live action.
Starring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Queen of Hearts and Mia Wasikowska as the eponymous Alice, it is a feast for the eyes and ears while treading new ground that previous movie versions of the Alice stories haven't been able to go near.
Outstanding CG work on characters such as Tweedledee and Tweedledum (both played by Matt Lucas) really adds some wow factor to the film, and Burton's signiature style is evident throughout.
The Alice in Wonderland movie posters are a particularly popular line right now, and they perfectly capture the whimsical yet unnerving feel of the film while still offering images that are perfect to display in the home. Check out some of the most popular Alice In Wonderland movie posters here!
