Angry Birds Halloween Costumes

Just in case you're one of the few dozen people on the planet to not hear of the Angry Birds phenomenon, I'll explain it quickly to you. But before that, whether you've heard of it or not, the costumes made up for fans of the game are great in and of themselves, and when you include the success of the franchise, it is a great choice for a Halloween costume.

Angry Birds was a game originally developed for release on the Apple iOS for the Christmas season of 2009.

The game, which has been a great success and highly addictive, involves using a slingshot to shoot some pigs, using birds whose eggs have been stolen by the hogs. It is the most successful mobile app yet developed, as of this writing.

Angry Birds has become a huge part of pop culture and is ubiquitous across most media platforms.

So if you dress up in a costume of the Angry Birds, or even one of the pigs, you'll be entering into a highly contagious and popular theme that is still compelling to many fans.

This first Angry Bird Halloween costume is much different than most of the others, as you'll see as we go on. It is homemade, and I like the creative placement of the feathers on the arm, and of course the enemy pig held in the hand.

These are pretty cool Angry Birds head masks, but it would have been more convincing if the one on the left had the eyes shifted down to express anger at the pigs. But still, the eyes are fun in that feeling of being surprised sort of way, and in that regard look good.

When you have the Angry Birds and the pig together, it adds to the fun of the Halloween cosplay experience, and suggests the tension that is always between the avowed enemies. Just having the heads without a costume, as you see below, works well.

Angry Birds are a fantastic way to dress in costumes as a couple, as you already have that nesting thing going for you. The vibrant colors of the types of costumes below make them look terrific together.

Another great benefit of the decision to dress in an Angry Birds theme is the ability to dress in costumes as a group. You could go as several birds, or if there are more of you, you could even include a couple of pigs in the mix to complete the look. There are a lot of possibilities in that scenario.

Below is a fun look at the natural outcome of dressing up as a group including the Angry Birds and pigs; you're going to have those birds inevitably go after those swine. That's of course why it's such a fun costume choice.

Even after a couple of years Angry Birds continues to be a cultural phenomenon, and the many ways you can dress up in a costume or costumes lends itself to a lot of fun and enjoyment; delighting the onlookers who appreciate the show.
