Halloween Kung Fu Panda Costumes - 2 Low Cost Halloween Costumes

By Alan Wonnacott

If you've started thinking about Halloween and unique but low cost costume ideas then you might want to consider Halloween Kung Fu Panda Costumes.

Kung Fu Panda was a recent Dreamworks animation and it has achieved a tremendous reception in North America this summer. The film used both hand drawn and computer generated information and was in production for four years.

In the film Kung Fu Panda is trying to transform his life from being a lazy slob to a master of Kung Fu. Jack Black plays the voice of Po and Angelina Jolie plays the voice of master tigress.

Recent news has it that in what might be a first time occurrence in the film industry Paramount Pictures are accompanying the DVD release of Kung Fu Panda on the 9th of November with a direct to video sequel. This is the first time that a sequel has been released on the same day as the original.

If you are still thinking about choosing a Halloween costume for your kids, Halloween Kung Fu Panda costumes may be your best choice. As mentioned above, the character is very popular in America. Actually Po is popular all over the world in 2008. Your kids must love him, especially if your kid is a boy. Boys are always active. They will enjoy wearing the Kung Fu Panda costumes and disguise as Kung Fu masters. It is really interesting to see a kid playing Kung Fu. You will have more laughs in the Halloween party. Remember, Kung Fu Panda is really hot. If you do not consider this character, you can only wait to see your neighbors having that fun on Halloween.

You need some black pants and a black sweater with the main part of the chest painted in white. You should be able to find a panda mask to complete the outfit. You would probably need to pad the costume out as Kung Fu Panda is a bit on the chubby side. If you can't buy a panda mask then make one of your own from a piece of painted card.

Another low cost Halloween costumes are skeleton costumes. Halloween used to be a scary festival. It is very reasonable to dress up scary. You will still be the focus of the party but it is really not unique and creative. Anyway, I will tell you how to create one. I am sure you must have some old sweater and pants in black color. Take out all of them and then draw as many as bones on them. You may even draw the funny version. It is up to you. For your face, you may need a mask. You can get one easily at the local stores. It will only cost you less than US$10. Or you can design it by yourself.

If you want to save money on Halloween costumes, it is a good idea to search you home. There must be some old clothes in your closets. Take them out and use your creativity to make a unique Halloween costume. It is really fun.
