Moooommm! I have nothing to wear!
I can imagine that parents of teenagers find very few phrases as chilling as the ones above. But, fear not! For I, Emma Rae, am at your service. This Halloween, your teenager will have their pick of awesome teen Halloween costumes that will won’t break the bank, or leave too much skin exposed.
Andy Barclay: Chucky says Aunt Maggie…got what she deserved.
Karen Barclay: Andy. How can you say something so horrible?
Andy Barclay: I didn’t say it, Chucky did.
If your teen wants to go scary, it can be as simple as dressing in a jumper dress and spray painting their hair red. Add a little red lipstick and blush, and your teen can add a few other accessories to create either a creepy clown, a Chucky doll, or an homage to Carol Burnett…just beware if she starts saying things like, “Hi, I’m Chucky. Wanna play?” In fact, if she does, and she happens to be holding an axe, I suggest you run, and maybe you should grab your chainsaw…you know, just in case.
If your teen is into nautical things or books that feature marine characters, a mermaid is another great idea for a teen, since it’s not too sexy, and not too young. This costume is grown-up enough that most teen girls will like it, and it makes for a great photo opportunity should your daughter take a merman as a date. Other hot trends in teenager costumes include superheroes, animals, or fairy tale heroines. There a lots of movies that feature teen girls as the heroine this year, and with a little creativity, these make really simple Halloween costumes. Think of a teen version of Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, or Alice in Wonderland.
Let your teenager show off in this hilarious Dumb & Dumber costume.
For the guys, there’s always vampires, Frankenstein, or something inspired from a movie…say “Dumb and Dumber.”
