3 Cheap Halloween Costumes for Men 2013

Some people like to spend a lot of money on their Halloween costume. Others like to make them themselves. Finally, you have some people who just want a cheap and simple costume, just to fit to a the Halloween party.

If you are in this last group, here are some nice options from you.

California Costumes Men's Demon Horns W/Teeth

Price:

$9.99

A really nice one, especially when you consider it is under $10 and that it includes some accessories (horns and teeth).

California Costumes Men's Grim Reaper Costume

Price: depends on size, the Men MED one is just below $20.

This is another nice costume. Some drawbacks: the mask is not so good and the scythe is not included (you can get a cheap scythe here). For less than $20, this is still a good overall costume.

Bioworld Men's Dark Night Joker Tuxedo Tee

Price: depends on size, $11.48 for Large

More a T-shirt than a costume but it does the job. Fits Halloween, the Dark knight movies, etc... Another advantage is that you won't have costume problems (something that falls down, movement limitations, ...) during the Halloween party with this costume.

So here were 3 options, for you. If you want to browse more costumes at Amazon, have a look here.

Beware Cheap Halloween Costumes at Amazon!

Amazon has a lot of things. Unfortunately, this means both good and not-so-good products. Every year I check my share of Halloween costumes. Not only for me but also for my readers. And every year, I can see people disappointed with their costume.

Don't get me wrong, Amazon has also great costumes (I give some examples here) but when you get a cheap one, be a bit careful about other reviews.

Here is an example of costume I wouldn't buy myself:

Batman The Dark Knight Joker Deluxe Costume


Looks nice on the photo, the idea is good (the Joker character is a good one, the Dark Knight movies are popular...) and the name includes "Deluxe" in it. Its price: $38.83 (as of August 17th).

The problem? The quality isn't deluxe, the mask isn't high quality, etc... Sure, for the price, it is a decent costume, but don't expect a "deluxe" product.

Another example:

Fun World Costumes Men's Mens Complete 3D Zombie-Adult

The photo is stunning. Such a costume would be worth more than the 30 something dollars it costs. The problem is that it is again a case of a misleading product. From another buyer (not me):  "It looks nothing like the photo on the package". And this is not the only disappointed customer. Again, the costume isn't bad, it is just that customers are expecting more from it because of the photo.

So, it is hopeless?

No, it isn't. Amazon has also pretty nice costumes. This one for example has a lot of success:

California Costume Men's Adult-Cutthroat Pirate

It is in the same price range (a bit more than $30) and is of nice quality. It has also the advantage to go very well with this costume if you have a partner for the Halloween party:

California Costumes Women's South Seas Siren Costume

Anyway, this was just a reminder about checking some reviews before buying a costume, especially a cheap one. Have a nice Halloween!
