Halloween is often the most exciting time of year for those who love to bring out their alter-ego at parties, gatherings and even work. However, if you're bored of the same costume year to year and need some ideas for to impress, try one of these great 2010 Halloween costume ideas for men.
1. Jersey Shore Guido - When it comes to hottest entertainers of the year, the Jersey Shore boys will definitely top the 2010 list considering MTV's hit reality show is in full swing in it's sophomore season. If you have short hair, an over the top personality and the washboard abs then go as Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino. If you're a gym rat with pecs to impress then pick up an affliction t-shirt and go as Ronald "Ronnie" Ortiz-Magro. If hair is your thing or maybe you already have an ultra-Guido cut similar to DJ Pauly D, then you won't need more than a gold chain or some bling to match that outrageously spiked hair. Which ever over the top character you choose, make sure to GTB (Gym, tan, beach) before hand because you'll need the orange glow of the tanning saloon to authenticate this costume and surely you'll be a hit with the ladies as you'll have something to talk about and hopefully, you won't bring a "Snooki".
2. Mad Hatter - if classic story characters are your thing, then why not go as Lewis Carrol's strangest sociopath, the Mad Hatter. Find a blue velvet sports coat, argyle pants and an outlandish top hat and you're good to go. It wouldn't hurt to paint your face white and spout off non-sensical riddles either if you really want to "sell it".
3. Avatar's Na'Vi - Surely you've heard of the blue-skinned tribesmen from James Cameron's mega-hit Avatar. If you need a costume on the cheap, then go as Jake Sully. You won't need more than some blue body paint for your face and exposed skin areas. Add in some tiger stripes and you'll authentic as they
4. Machete - Live it up as a "Machete" a former Mexican Federale turned renegade baddass. The film debuted this 2010 as part of Robert Rodriguez's brain-child about an ex-Federale, Danny Trejo, seeking justice and revenge from a former boss turned villain. The movie is still fresh in people's minds and the costume is easy to pull off. Find a biker's vest, biker pants and some fake tattoos (unless you have plenty of real tattoos already, then it's even easier).
5. Michael Jackson - Go as the King of Pop this 2010. Any M.J. costume is as timeless as his music and with the movie "Michael Jackson: This is it" circulating on DVD and premium cable, the costume is perennially relevant. Find a white-sequined glove, a curly-black wig, tight black pants with a "flood" so that your white socks show as you're moon-walking across the party dance floor. Images of Michael Jackson are sure to invoke nostalgia for almost any music lover and surely provide great fodder for party conversation. So, whether you prefer Scary-Michael from Thriller or early-Michael, this is a sure-hit costume.
