Animals have ruled Saturday morning cartoons for decades. Bugs Bunny, Mickey Mouse, Scooby-Doo—the list goes on! If you're on the hunt for a unique Halloween costume idea that hails back to the heyday of cartoons on TV, look no further than Alvin and the Chipmunks. The Alvin Show originally dates back to the 1960s, but the cartoon had a comeback in the 80s, along with a series of movies and a new cartoon show in the 2010s. Alvin and the gang have sported a few different looks throughout the years, but they all stick to their signature colors. (Which makes these DIY Halloween costumes easy to recognize!) Keep reading and we'll show you how to make your own Alvin and the Chipmunks costume, along with Halloween costume ideas for the Chipettes.

Thank you for making our May 2017 People’s Choice Cosplay Contest such a success! We were figuratively deluged in comments and emails for a couple of weeks there. They were pouring in, well, like votes do. (We’re sorry, but votes don’t make great similes.) Anyways, we fed the votes into our Counterator 2000 Machine and–PRESTO!–out popped a name.

The film Jurassic World was kind of a big deal this year, since, you know, it set the all-time record for highest box office sales worldwide and all. BUT. Let's be honest: the best parts of Jurassic World were any nostalgic throwbacks and references to the film that started it all...Jurassic Park! JW is shiny and new, but every character, scene, and line of JP is, and forever will be, classic. If you want to be trendy, go ahead and dress as Owen Grady this year. But if you seek to be hailed a "Halloween hero" by fellow late 80s/early 90s babies this Halloween weekend, go with a classic character from Jurassic Park.
