You’ve waited all year for this one day when you get to dress up as your favorite character. It’s a day of expression. On All Hallow’s eve, the parade of Halloween costumed revelers going from door to door is the ultimate make believe. Now it’s your turn. What will your Halloween costume be?

Halloween Costumes for People

Halloween is a special time of year not just for kids, but for adults as well. It’s a time for getting a little silly, expressing your creativity and experiencing the world as a different person, or being, for one night. Halloween costumes are a big part of Halloween. Here are some of the different looks you can achieve this Halloween with inflatable costumes.

The Land of Lost Dinosaurs

Millions of years ago, dinosaurs roamed the earth and eventually they slowly died off. Somewhere along the way, a few got lost and ended up here. The more you look at these costumes, the more you want to smile just a little bit more. That’s the Halloween effect.

There are all kinds of dinosaurs here, some big, some small. They may look ferocious, but they’re quite tame and wouldn’t harm a fly. They’re all inflatable and made with high-strength, waterproof polyester, making them durable.

Whether you encounter them in the wild running behind other trick-or-treaters or indoors at the punch and snacks table, there’s no need to approach with caution. They don’t bite.

Good to Know

Each inflatable costume comes with a built-in fan operated by a battery pack. Batteries not included.

Beware the Tiger’s Roar

It’s a jungle out there and when you hear the mighty roar, you know there’s a tiger on the loose. Except this cute tiger means you no harm. The little ones will feel like they’re the real deal in this orange and black striped tiger blowup costume. Are you ready for the safari? The costume has elastic and a drawstring at the waist to fit most bodies.

The Mythical Unicorn

They say unicorns don’t exist, but what do they know. Prove them wrong when you trot up to the party dressed as this happy mythical unicorn. This unisex blowup costume fits most adults and is made of waterproof polyester. It also comes in kids’ sizes.

Piggyback on an Alien

This is the year of the alien. We’ve become accustomed to everything else; let’s add piggyback rides on an alien to the list. This vibrant orange and green inflatable costume is sure to be the talk of the party. Made of high-strength waterproof polyester, it’s durable and can take most of what we humans throw at it.

When All Else Fails, Be a Pickle

Wouldn’t you rather be a pickle than be stuck in a pickle? Who says you can’t be a pickle? It’s a simple, easy-on, easy-off costume. It’s an adult unisex jumpsuit style costume made of high quality, super durable 100 percent polyester.

Halloween Costumes for Pets

Halloween fun isn’t limited to people. Pets secretly want in on the fun, too. Here are a few costumes that are made especially for them.

Avast Ye Matey!

If your Yorkie could talk, you’d already know she’s been eyeing that adorable pirate Halloween costume, complete with the little hat with the skull and crossbones on it. No froufrou little princess for her.

An Adorable Prison Break

There’s been a prison break and this adorable pup is a fugitive from the law. Your dog or cat can be the cutest escapee ever in this two-piece black and white striped dog/cat prison uniform costume. With your help, he’ll make a perfect getaway when he’s tucked into his little bed all nice and cozy long after the last trick-or-treater has left your front porch.

Police Officers on the Job

Officers are on the lookout for a fugitive wearing a black and white striped shirt. Caution: escapee extremely adorable. All police officer uniforms should be this cute. Costume comes with a hat and uniform in various sizes with attached pawcuffs. It would be positively criminal for you to pass up this great dog Halloween costume.

Giddy Up!

This may not have been how the west was won, but it certainly would have made it interesting. Your dog or cat is one “yeepaww” away from performing epic-level zoomies with a rider on her back. This cowboy costume is a good fit for cats and dogs, and is made of comfortable, super soft fabric that’s not too heavy on the back.

A Halloween Pumpkin

Pumpkins symbolize Autumn and Halloween, especially in the context of jack-o'-lanterns. So, it would seem fitting that you’d find a costume honoring, in some form or fashion, a pumpkin. Here we have what appears to be a person and a dog carrying a heavy pumpkin. This dog/cat costume is good for a laugh or two, but ultimately, you’ll be glad no one’s trying to carve a wicked grin into this little pumpkin.
