Shrek Halloween Costumes

Shrek Halloween Costumes for Adults

The Shrek movies have such a wide appeal, it's no wonder adults want to dress up as Shrek, Fiona, or even some of the more obscure characters in the films. Everyone has a favorite fairy tale, and Shrek meshes so many together, it's hard not to love the big green ogre and his friends—even if merely by association.

As with plenty of adult Halloween costumes, prepare yourself for a few outrageous prices. Shrek's not the only thing that's green; so is that stuff that could be leaving your wallet in wads if you're really into the holiday and plan to have one of the best Shrek Halloween costumes on the street.

You can expect to spend up to $143 on a costume like this Super Deluxe Adult Shrek. In this particular costume's defense, it is very detailed—it includes a mask, a shirt with belly, pants with shoe covers, and even latex hands.

In contrast, there's the $37 Adult Shrek Men's Halloween Costume that includes the mask, the shirt/vest combo (bring your own belly for this one!), pants, and sash. It's still a believable costume. It's just not as all-inclusive as its more expensive counterpart. Still, prince or pauper, you can be Shrek for Halloween.

If you're a fan of patching your own costumes together every year for Halloween, you can purchase the mask only at AnytimeCostumes.com for just under $35.

Princess Fiona costumes tend to be on the less expensive—and less elaborate—side of things. Whereas becoming Shrek can set you back $143, you can find a Fiona costume for $50 or even $37. Here are two to consider:

• The Deluxe Fiona Halloween Costume is $50 and includes a dress and ogre ears.
• The Shrek Fiona Costume also includes a dress and ogre ears, but the dress isn't as ornate on this one.
• The Adult Shrek Fiona Deluxe from AnytimeCostumes.com is true to the emerald and olive color scheme. You can get this green crushed velvet dress and tiara with attached ears for $44.99.

If you already have an old bridesmaid's dress or a costume from a Renaissance festival, you may only need a wig to be Fiona. This one's $14.99 and is made up of the braid, the tiara, and the charming green ogre ears no Shrek princess should be without.
