Pumpkin Costumes

Pumpkins are known as a symbol for the fall season, they grow easily around that time and they make great pies during Thanksgiving. However, if you ask most people, the most common association made with pumpkins is Halloween. Pumpkins are a traditional symbol for this popular holiday. They are used to decorate haunted houses as creative minds carve away the excess shell to reveal creepy faces and ghoulish messages when lit from within and they are also hollowed out and used as baskets to collect candy during trick-or-treating. There are many uses for the pumpkin during Halloween.

The pumpkin’s close association with Halloween has led to a seasonal market revolving around this interesting fruit. Halloween t-shirts are printed every year with silk screened pumpkin heads; fake plastic pumpkin baskets are mass produced to be sold for kids to collect candy, businesses use variations of the pumpkin as seasonal logos and costume companies make Halloween Pumpkin costumes. What better way to celebrate a holiday represented by pumpkins than dressing up as a pumpkin.

There are pumpkin costumes for adults, kids, babies and even pets! It is difficult to escape this popular trend that has so long been related to one of the most fun days of the year. If you are having a hard time coming up with a good costume to wear this Halloween, why not default to the most obvious costume for the season? It never goes out of style and there is something comical about a human taking the shape of a fruit.
