  One great thing about being a guy is all the options you have for Halloween costumes. No matter what type of guy you are, there is a perfect costume idea out there waiting for you. Getting the perfect costume can really put you in the spirit of Halloween. You can get a costume based on a hobby, favorite movie or simply just an idea you find creative and would like to try. It is important to remember that on Halloween, just like any other day of the year, you should strive to look your best and send the right message. You do not have to be a kid to appreciate the fun of Halloween.
  
  

Star Wars

• If you are a Star Wars fan, dressing up like an Imperial Stormtrooper, Chewbacca or even Darth Vader are a few great ideas. You can sport your love for Star Wars, and look great while doing it. Costume stores and online sites carry Star Wars costumes.
  
  

Jason Voorhees

• For a scarier effect, you can dress up like Jason Voorhees, the killer in the "Friday the 13th" movies, whose films show up for viewing every Halloween. They have a chilling effect. Dressing up like him can have the same effect on the people around you. If you are looking to go around scaring people on Halloween night, a Jason costume might be right. Many costume stores and online costume sites carry Jason Vorhees costumes.
  
  

Nerd

• Pulling off a nerd costume is easy. Wear clothes that are a size too small for you, button your shirt all the way up and pull your pants up too high. Put on some white socks and some outdated Grandpa shoes. Put a pocket protector in your shirt pocket, add some fake zits and gel your hair to make it look nerdy. This costume will cause some laughs and its easy to implement.
  
  

Tony Montana

• Actually being Tony Montana could cause you some trouble. But dressing up as Tony for Halloween can be a great idea. This costume is easy to pull off and involves items you most likely already have. Wear a light-colored suit, a button-down shirt with a wide collar, large quantities of golden jewelry (necklaces, rings and bracelets) and some Aviator sunglasses. Carry around a toy or water gun and a cigar for added effect.
  
  

Athlete

• Dress up as an athlete. If you have ever played a sport you can wear an old uniform of your own, or you can borrow or purchase a uniform. Pick your favorite sport: football, baseball or even soccer. You might even want to dress as your favorite player from your favorite sports team.
