Get In The Game: Video Game Inspired Halloween Costumes

Did your kids start planning their Halloween costume the morning they woke up from trick-or-treating last year? Mine did.

If your kids are into video games like mine are, they can rack up the points when they sport these video game character costumes. From Mario and Luigi to Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh, the little gamer in your life can fill their candy bags with treats and be victorious in the pursuit of the perfect Halloween costume. Guitar Heros and Rock Band enthusiasts can dress as their favorite musician, sling a guitar controller over their shoulders and rock out.

For the crafty moms out there, try making a PacMan or Space Invaders and you’re sure to impress the classic game fans in any crowd. Or turn your tyke into a Wii controller or a DS handheld!
