Humorous Halloween costumes are lots of fun.

Sometimes the little extras are the things that make a Halloween costume funny. You can go from a regular costume to a humorous one in no time flat.

Here are a few funny Halloween costume ideas to stimulate your imagination:

"Cheesy" decade costumes from the 1980′s and 1970′s are classic fun for Halloween parties. Some folks need only to sort through their old clothes to come up with something funky. Visit thrift shops, and vintage clothing stores to score a paisley shirt, bell bottoms, and platform shoes. If you want to wear something from the 80′s, wear neon in clashing color combinations, and classic 80′s brand names.
Dress With Your Pet – Do you have a pet? You and your dog could be a hit in matching costumes. Some specialty stores sell these costumes in pairs. If you can’t find what you are looking for, consider making the costumes, yourself.
The Swap – If you are attending a Halloween even with a friend, swap personas. This works well between people that have opposite personalities, and opposite styles of dress. Try to stay "in character" all night, and the party-goes will be quite amused.
Delicious – If you don’t mind wearing a potentially cumbersome costume, consider dressing as your favorite food. Costumes that will turn you into pizza, grapes, milk, a can of beer, or a banana, are found at specialty shops. Check online, too, for these funny Halloween costume ideas.

Just start thinking about regular costumes and then add accessories that would make people laugh:

Picture a beautiful bride carrying a bouquet of weeds and dragging a really ugly looking Frankenstein character.
A mailman would be pretty funny if he had a stuffed dog fastened to his ankle.
What about a nurse carrying a giant syringe?
Try a fisherman with an exceptionally large fish.
Maybe you could dress as a dog wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase, The Legal Beagle?
A banana split costume would be fun. You could decorate a piece of cardboard to look like a dish of ice cream. Then glue on an empty cans of whipping cream, plastic containers of fudge, and banana peels.
If you would rather be a S’more you could use cardboard and draw lines on it to look like a graham cracker. Fasten marshmallows and empty chocolate bar wrappers to the graham cracker. You may want to carry miniature chocolate bars to pass out to friends.
A garbage can could be quite a humorous costume. Dress in a large garbage can and pack in empty food boxes and sacks. As a final funny touch you could add a few rubber rats!
