E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a timeless classic and a staple movie for anyone to watch while growing up. Since it was released on June 11, 1982, no other movie has spent more weekends in the #1 spot at the box office. Along with spending a record 16 weeks as the number one movie in America, E.T. was also the highest-grossing movie of the year. The film is filled with several iconic moments like Elliott taking flight with E.T. in his bicycle basket, "phone home", and E.T. going out on Halloween dressed as a ghost and seeing his friend Yoda. Speaking of going out on Halloween, we have a fun, unique E.T. costume idea for you to try.

This year, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hit theaters and did not disappoint. The follow up to the surprise summer hit of 2014 was an action-packed visual spectacle with even more of the fun character dynamics that were introduced in the first one. Every character had their chance to shine with some hilarious dialogue exchanges. Whether it was Rocket calling Star Lord “Star Munch”, Drax’s poor attempts at sympathy, or Baby Groot being...well...Baby Groot, the movie provided plenty of great quotes.

If someone told you a few weeks ago that the Babadook would become the most popular symbol of 2017's Pride Month, you wouldn't have believed them. But, if the past year and a half have taught you a single lesson, literally ANYTHING can happen. Thank goodness for us, this time that "anything" was something incredible. The Babadook is a horror movie released in 2014 about a single mother and her kid being tormented by a storybook character. Pride is a celebration of LGBT rights, love, and acceptance. So, why is the Babadook a gay icon? Well, many reports say that Netflix accidentally added the film to their LGBT section, and as the internet is known to do, the joke took off. Whether that origin story is true or not, we don’t really care, because we love the Babadook’s new inclusion at Pride events around the country. Since we are HalloweenCostumes.com, and this is too amazing to not take part in, we created our own DIY Babadook costume perfect for you to wear to Pride or for Halloween this year.
