Pirates are common ideas, but they are also some of the most fun costumes you can get.

Adult Men and Women Love the Pirate Costume

With adults, pirate Halloween costumes can be anything you want. You can go sexy, scary, or traditional. You can even go with something that is not as common, as in other pirates from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, or ones from movies that have come out within the last twenty or so years. Pirates are very visible, and everyone knows one when they see one. Though you may think that pirate Halloween costumes are never going to win prizes in contests, you should know that it all depends on what you do with them. Ramp up your imagination and go with it if that is what you want to do.

Pirate Costumes for Older Kids and Teens

For older kids and teenagers, they may very well want to be Capt' Jack from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. That is probably the most popular of the pirates Halloween costumes that you can get. These are fun, but if your child is going for something more original, they may not want to do this one. They can build their own, and these can be a bit scarier, but perhaps not quite as dramatic as what an adult may want to wear for this theme. These are easy enough to put together as there are parts and pieces for this theme in every collection of costumes in most stores.

A Pirate Costume for Younger Kids

If you are thinking up pirate Halloween costumes for your younger children, you can go with any that you want, but one very popular idea is Capt' Feathersword from the Wiggles. This goes well for most children under the age of eight, but some outgrow wanting this costume when they hit five or six years old. You can also go with the generic and non-scary type of pirate Halloween costumes if your child does not like or watch the Wiggles. Either is a lot of fun, though Capt' Feathersword is a hoot.

Your Ideal Pirate Costume

Note some of the key elements that make up a proper pirate costume. For example, the dyed in the wool pirate has got to be missing a leg. Here's an easy way to follow in Bluebeard's footsteps. Use a couple of sturdy sticks of a length to run from your knee to just above the ground. Wrap a length of cloth around the sticks, top and bottom and secure them with duct tape. Now, wrap a piece of stiff beige or brown felt around the sticks. A glue gun works well to attach the 'wooden' leg to the underlying cloth. A sturdy tennis shoe, covered in felt nicely simulates your one legged appearance.

And what do all good costumed pirates say at each door when they go trick or treating? No need to be at a loss for words in pirate-speak. All you need is this: A throaty "Aaaargh, be it a trick or a treat, ye landlubber!" Then, enjoy the booty that's given to yeh, all that wonderful candy and other great Halloween treats!
