Adult Halloween costumes are a tricky business. Once you reach a certain age, some people find the whole celebration thing a bit juvenile. Others happily don their unique outfits with more enthusiasm than some children display. The big question is "do I dress up for Halloween?" The choices for adult Halloween costumes are vast. However, the first step is determining whether or not it is worth your time, and possibly your dignity, to get dressed up at all.
The company you keep might help you decide this all-important, yearly question. Do you have a regular tradition of picking out an outfit with your best bud to wear at their Halloween get together? If so the answer is easy.
Where will you be seen in your costume, and how many times will you have to wear your tights and wig around Halloween? Some people dress up every chance they get, wearing the latest trendy adult Halloween costumes to work, school, and holiday parties. If you have plenty of places to don your once a year look, then by all means, dive right in.
Work and Halloween costumes do not always mix well. Depending on your profession, you may be unable to wear anything different, even on this special day. If you are lucky enough to be able to dress up, be mindful of who will see you and choose your look accordingly. Women may find that some costumes are a little too revealing to wear in to the office. Search for a women's costume that will not viewed as offensive. The same could be said for the guys, although this seems to be less frequently a problem for men's outfits.
Guys will still have to watch out for any inappropriate messages their costume may convey. A men's costume that features off color language or a racy joke should probably be left at home or saved for a friend's Halloween party.
Consider the amount of space you have at your place of employment as well. If you work in a tight cubical, you should keep your costume small. An adult Halloween costume does not necessarily have to be a full body affair. A simple headband with cute ears, or maybe a little face paint, could be enough to feel festive without becoming intrusive to your coworkers.
This same principal can be applied to Halloween parties. If you must, ask your host or hostess who will be in attendance. Even if the gathering was purely adults in previous years. You never know when someone may bring along little Johnny or Susie this year because no sitter was available.

Chalk this one up as something that seemed like a good idea at the time. Frank Langella had just taken Broadway by storm in a revival of the play based on Bram Stoker's classic vampire novel. He was tall, elegant, and almost painfully romantic--all qualities that failed to translate to this garish, tarted-up film version...
