A huge shopping list of all my favorite last minute Halloween costumes and accessories is included at the very bottom. Don't forget to go through to the very end!
Alice in Wonderland is one of the most unique and prolific Disney movies to date, and serves as a perfect theme for a macabre filled night. For this category I've found two unique spins on the classic children's tale. The first is a female version of the Mad Hatter character, complete with hat and all. It's a maddeningly fun costume for anyone not afraid to stand out come next week. The second is a dark version of the main character Alice. This costumes serves as a perfect one for Halloween night, as it pairs well with very dark - even dead - makeup and accessories.

Sexy nurses are no strangers to halloween parties. For this list I've first chosen a playboy branded nurse costume. Wheteher or not you find the logo tacky, there's no denying that playboy produces some of the highest quality pre-packaged costumes out there right now, and this is why I chose it. You can be assured that the corset has structure and the cuts are flattering in this white eye-catcher. For the second costume, I found perhaps the strangest themed costume yet... sexy rehab counselor? That aside, this costume is a flattering slim black dress with red nurse accouterments abound. You might say this costume is... addicting? I'm done. To view these and other costumes like them, click either picture above.
I don't know that anything is more quintessentially 'Halloween' than the classic witch costume. Long, dark, and flattering to many shapes and sizes, the witch costume has long been a go-to for women all over the world. The first witch costume I picked has a more elegant and detailed vibe than traditional ones. A beautifully adored hat tops features like mesh arm coverings and filigree patterning. The second costume is more of a traditional one, but includes detailing around the bust, shoulders, and arms that will make it especially flattering to anyone who wears it.

Vampires have long been lurking in the shadows of our Halloween visions, but in recent history they've taken a popular turn. Thanks to media like 'Tru Blood' and the 'Twilight' series, vampires are action-packed sex objects that have character depth we've never seen before. Gone are the days of Count Dracula and here are the days of striking men saying 'Sookie' in a strong hushed voice. Here, I've picked two more traditional and elegant looking vampire costumes, but to give your costume a more modern twist, check out my recommended accessories tab below and buy some fangs to wear with an everyday outfit.

Most people use Halloween to masquerade as a unique human profession or a famous person, but why not break the species barrier? Probably my favorite costume of 2012 falls under this category and it's a peacock outfit. The second costume featured is the classic tuxedo bunny look. Both of these costumes are made by Starline, which is a company owned by Trashy Lingerie (who make the highest quality lingerie and costumes on the market despite the name, just far too expensive for this list. If you like to drool or have extra money, check them out!). As such, these two are a little bit pricier, but you definitely get what you pay for here. Plus they're not a quarter as expensive as their 'Trashy' counterparts. I've owned Starline decorative corsets like the ones above in the past and I guarantee you won't find a most structured or detailed costume company anywhere for the price. To see these and other wild animal outfits, click either of the pictures above.
And now we arrive at the pirates. It seems pirate costumes for Halloween have grown to be the most popular choice recently for both genders. Still, it's hard to find a female pirate costume that isn't baggy around the midsection and actually seems to be designed with curves in mind. Above are two awesome and detailed lady-pirate costumes that you're sure to look great in and even shiver some timbers with. Although the red costume is more affordable, the costume on the left has much more detail and better materials for those willing to spend a little extra. Either way you'll soon be prepared to sail the high seas in these swashbuckling costumes! To view these and other pirate costumes, click either picture above.
Not all Halloween characters in the service industry are french maids. Clicking through to either of the costumes above, you'll find a variety of women who are in the business of serving others that you may not have considered. The first costume I chose is another Starline selection, and, again, this brand is worth the extra money in any category. This particular outfit is a cigarette girl who is a reminder of service professions long gone. The second costume IS a french maid, but I tried to pick one with the best detailing and fit. Pair either one of these with sexy patent pumps and fishnets and you're set for a sexy evening. To view these or any costumes like them, click either image above.
Men's costumes often get overlooked in lists like this, so I wanted to reserve the last spot for the guys out there. The first one I chose is a Top Gun jumpsuit and all you need to throw this look together is a pair of aviators and a popped collar. Every man has probably had the fantasy of someday running around in this suit, so why not make it happen this Halloween? Additionally, this suit is available in women's and kid's sizes too for matching family fun. The second costume is a good pair with any of my lady-vampire costumes, and is one of the best deals on this list at under $30 for it all. Additionally, I've thrown in lots of guys/kids costumes in the Halloween products I've chosen for the box below because I know that two slots just doesn't do them justice.
