Michael Jackson Halloween Costume Ideas
Michael Jackson's death may be the best thing that could have happened to his career. His later life was beset with legal problems and public embarrassments. In death, he has become something of an icon to a large number of people who remember the good times (his best music and concert performances) more than the bad. Michael Jackson's career spanned so many years and so many different styles that there are dozens of different Michael Jackson Halloween costume ideas.
There are three classic Michael Jackson Halloween costumes. Depending on
which Jackson you want to be (early career, late career, or creepy older MJ)
you will need to focus on different costume pieces to form a decent picture
of Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson Bad Adult Costume
"Thriller" Michael Jackson -- People who love Michael Jackson wish this part of his career never ended. Michael Jackson was the best entertainer in the world when he released his seminal "Thriller" album. MJ gave the greatest concerts, recorded the best albums, and was loved by people from all walks of life. A good "Thriller" costume is hard to come by -- this picture shows Zombie MJ from the "Thriller" video, and to get that costume right you'd need the zombie mask, the hair, and the snazzy red coat. If you want a simpler "Thriller" costume, stick with a store bought version of MJ's famous red outfit. The dance moves are up to you.
"Black or White" Michael Jackson -- Look at this still from MJ's "Black or White" video -- the "Black or White" MJ costume is great because it is easy to put together and is easily recognizable as the King of Pop, even without a perfect MJ face. A simple white undershirt, open white dress shirt, black pants, and white "sleeve" accessory on the right hand can transform anyone into MJ, especially with a little hair product and a couple of feet worth of Moonwalking.
Creepy Michael Jackson -- Unfortunately for MJ, this is fast
becoming the most popular Michael Jackson Halloween costume. There are masks
sold all over the place that mimic Michael Jackson's frightening plastic
surgery-induced glare. The upturned nose, the pasty skin, and the Zombie
look in the eyes are all there. Wear any outrageous outfit with this mask
and you will remind everyone Michael Jackson circa his 2005 trial.
Whether you want to pay tribute to Michael Jackson or mock him, there are
great Michael Jackson Halloween costume ideas for all occasions. If you got
very creative, you could imitate Michael in his Jackson 5 days, or perhaps
his awkward and mostly unknown early teenage years. A true Michael Jackson
fan would stop at nothing to perfect their Michael Jackson Halloween
costume.
