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.
One of the more memorable scenes from the movie occurs when Elliott gets home from school to find that his little sister, Gertie, had been playing dress up with E.T. Elliott opens the door to find his alien friend in a dress with wig and other accessories. Elliott's reaction quickly turns from disgusted to amazed once he realizes that E.T. has learned to speak his name. Even though Elliott wasn't a fan of the look, you have to admit that little alien was pretty darn cute dressed in all that gear. Take a look below to figure out all you need in order to achieve that look for your little one this Halloween.
