It's the year we've been waiting for since 1985, and a day we've been waiting for all year! (Does that make sense?) It's BACK TO THE FUTURE DAY, the exact calendar date and year that Doc and Marty traveled back...err, forward...to in Back to the Future Part II. We know that you BTTF fanboys and fangirls don't ever need a reason to celebrate this famous film trilogy, but we're just sayin', if you've got a self-drying coat or a Hoverboard lying around, today is THE day to bust them out. If wearing Back to the Future clothing isn't quite enough for you today, we've compiled some other resources for you, from themed crafts to DeLorean infographics, to collectible figurines. So come on! Celebrate Back to the Future Day with HalloweenCostumes.com!
