Do you know who is probably the most famous person on TV? If you think about it, it’s not that difficult to realise. You have actors that come and go on the big screen. Action and adventure heroes, amazonian heroines and such like but there is one character that outshines them all and someone who has been around for over forty years. That’s right folks, I am talking about the one and only spiderman. Kids love him and adults love him still. Each year I buy some new spiderman costumes for kids, just for my boys as they demand them every time. I think it’s fantastic as I am still a huge fan, although this year I want to try a cool avatar costume, just for a change. You gotta move withn the times.

Do you have a teenage boy or girl and are wondering what they will want to do for Halloween this year? Are they going to tell you that Halloween is for little kids or will they want to find a cool Halloween costume for teens to wear?

The answer depends on how you approach them. If you treat them like a little kid they will probably tell you that they aren’t interested in childish activities. You know, they are too grown up for that stuff!

If you treat them like they are mature enough to make their own decision, they will probably talk it over with their friends and want to have some kind of theme party so that they can dress up but not appear childish.

If they decide to dress up, they will want to have choices for their costume that go beyond Superheroes and TV characters. Let them have a little freedom in their choice and keep the Halloween spirit alive.
