Darth Vader Costumes - A Popular Halloween Disguise

There are lots of people who are nuts about Star Wars. After all, just look at how many people would line up for days or even weeks before each new movie was released. And if you ever saw one of the movies on opening night, you probably saw some Stormtrooper suits and Darth Vader costumes in the crowd.


Darth Vader costumes tend to be designed for those fans truly obsessed with the world of Star Wars. That's because they are not easy to arrange and tend to be very difficult to both put on and take off.


For the majority of true Star Wars fans, becoming Darth Vader by means of a realistic, high-tech costume has been a childhood fantasy, complete with dreams of battles with light sabers against the Jedi knights.


Although such imaginative fantasies tend to dissipate as fans grow older, they would still probably love to suit up in a fancy, well detailed Vader costume. For fans that don't make trips to Star Wars conventions, Halloween is the best time and excuse to become Darth Vader.


If you're thinking of a Darth Vader costume for Halloween this year, it's time to get on the ball. The big night isn't far away, and the best costumes get harder to find as you get closer to the night.


Many Internet costume shops offer great Darth Vader costumes and will gladly ship your order until just a few days before Halloween. Waiting until the last moment, however, might mean that your dream costume has been sold out.


The Internet will be the best place to find your costume if there are not professional costume shops in your area. Online shops also have a better selection. Department and drug stores don't offer the high quality costumes that diehard Vader fans are looking for.


And the great thing about Darth Vader is it doesn't matter who you are - male or female, young or old. It's a full body suit and mask so nobody even needs to know who's under there if you don't want them to. Just be prepared for a lot of heavy breathing and "I am your father" quotes!
