What does Halloween really stand for, and when you dress up should you not wear a costume that comes from a horror movie? Nightmares are funny things, we’ve all had one and it could’ve been you wearing a fruit bowl on your head, or maybe your hand on a cat and that scary feeling when touching them, and for the smartphone gamer that has just gone cold turkey on Angry Birds, seeing someone walk in to that Halloween party wearing an Angry Birds costume could be the most scary thing they’d ever see next month.

Last year we remember many of our readers wanted to find an Angry Birds Halloween costume for their kids, this year everything has changed. The children can forget about getting that costume, the adults want them now and dressing as a strange red bird or green pig could never be so cool, although those of us who spent those hours doing something more constructive rather than playing Angry Birds would think it’s a little crazy.

The fun part comes when you get to watch those people in the Angry Bird costume trying to drink their favorite juice at the party. Will you be an Angry Bird this Halloween? Product Pages here.
