Monster High Costumes are the most sought after Halloween costume this year because of the popularity of Monster High Dolls. Monster High from Mattel was launched last year in 2010 and have quickly taken the world by storm and is only going to get bigger and better.

Monster High is a High School where teenage children from all the famous monsters, ghouls and creepy characters throughout the ages attend. They all have freaky flaws to deal with that is unique to them. Such as Draculaura not being able to see her reflection in a mirror.

Each of the characters have been made into a doll. The dolls have grown since first released adding even more characters including really cool boy dolls. The Monster High Dolls are so popular with girls with more dolls yet to be released. There are even different versions of each doll such as The Dawn Of The Dance Series or The Classroom Series.

Due to popular demand Mattel have released Monster High Costumes of the main doll characters. The costumes have been released for this Halloween bringing all the excitement and glamor to Halloween.

I say glamor because unlike the Halloween costumes of the past which have all been quite ugly, but these costumes are well attractive. I think that's what appeals to young girls the most. The characters are trendy and cool while looking really fashionable.

Now girls can dress in their Monster High Costumes looking nice instead of dressing as some ugly old witch or boring ghost. Unfortunately the costume and wig do have to be purchased separately. The wig is the most important part of the costume to achieve the look as you can always piece together an outfit however buying a ready made outfit is always easier.

The Monster High Costumes that are available at the moment are based on the original release Monster High Dolls which are:

Frankie Stein - Her costume looks like the original Frankie Stein Doll. It's a black and white plaid dress with the polka dot tie. The costume also comes with sleeves and leggings that have the stitch marks on them. There is also a Frankie Stein wig available which really is needed to complete the outfit.

Clawdeen Wolf - Clawdeen's costume comes with purple skirt and studded belt, fur collared jacket and zebra striped top. The wig comes with little werewolf ears. Very cute!

Draculaura - Draculaura's costume is a white pleated skirt, white lace collared top and pink vest. This really is an easy outfit to put together yourself as long as you have the wig of course.

Cleo De Nile - Cleo De Nile's outfit includes leggings that look like bandages wrapped around her legs. This outfit would be a bit harder to reproduce on your own as the bandage look is a must to pull this off. Simply wrapping bandages around your legs just wouldn't look right.

Lagoona Blue - Lagoona's costume includes little fins for the arms and legs and has a fish scale top. Lagoona's wig is really pretty. You could make your own bag to go with this costume by attaching shells and starfish to a brightly colored plain bag.

Ghoulia Yelps - Ghoulia doesn't have an official costume as yet but her outfit is easy to create. She wears red jeans with long black boots over them. You must have a long blue wig for Ghoulia and include her trademark cats eye glasses and your pretty close.

Monster High Costumes for kids are a huge hit not only for Halloween but for theme birthday parties as well.
