Traditional Halloween Costumes

It's a long day's ride for a cowboy bent on revenge. He hits the dusty town at dusk and heads straight for the saloon. The showdown may be at high noon tomorrow, but tonight - tonight, there will be drinking! And maybe a few rounds of cards.

Set all the saloon girls squealing (and the men shaking in their boots) with a Old West Gunfighter costume. The long duster coat and vest give you plenty of room to conceal your true love - the pistol you call "Ruby".

The mistress of the saloon is always the most popular gal in town. Keep the beer coming and the cowboys entranced with a Lady Maverick Saloon Girl costume. Give them a peek at your purple garter and you'll have their hearts (and their wallets).

Never should have robbed that stagecoach! It's tough to enjoy your grits when you're dead. Scare the living daylights out of the lawman who did you in with a Zombie Cowboy costume. Make sure you get that ghostly look just right with some zombie makeup.

One accessory can make the difference between being the outlaw or the sheriff. A sheriff's badge, the right cowboy hat and a shiny gunslinger rifle will have you riding into the sunset in style.

Not much for O-negative? It's not for everyone. Instead, bring your "double double toil and trouble" potion to a full boil in a Goth Maiden Witch costume. Make sure not to drink any of it yourself - that eye of newt can be a killer.

It's easy to perfect your goth or undead attire with the right accessories. Bloody fangs are a must for the vampire set and no witch would be caught dead without her broom.

Looking to swap the rat race for the chariot race? You'll be fit to party with the gods, goddesses and rulers of the Ancient World in luxurious Greek and Roman costumes.

Date not behaving? Turn him to stone with a glance in this Medusa costume. The enticing snake headpiece with red jewel detail and coordinating snake necklace will make serpent goddess Medusa the most dangerous guest at the party.

Caesar was nothing without his soldiers. The intricate armour and feathered helmet of this Roman Centurion costume will command respect all over the Roman Empire. And if the helmet doesn't work, the sword will!

The Tagliarelli Family are out to get you but Roberta's dragging you to the speakeasy for the third night in a row. It's like the broad doesn't understand your work. Or maybe she just can't wait to show off the cool threads of your Gangster costume to the other molls. Better tuck a tommy gun under your jacket, just in case you need to mix it up.

Tony's acting all shifty again. Why doesn't he ever want to go to the speakeasy? Maybe it's time to ditch that gangster and hook up with one of those cute Tagliarellis. Better put the finishing touches on my sexy Gangster's Moll costume before hitting the town. Where's my cigarette holder?
