With both Marvel and DC releasing a steady stream of movies and TV shows—to the point of oversaturation, some might argue—there is no shortage of superhero-themed costumes to choose from. The wonders of the modern internet also make them easier than ever to order and get in time for Halloween celebrations.

Life with kids is nothing if not a three-ringed circus. Get inspired by a classic family outing, the circus, and create Halloween costumes based around the Big Top. Parents can dress as the Ringmasters, and kids can be acrobats, elephants, clowns, and tigers.

Every year, it seems as if Halloween just sneaks up out of nowhere. The summer heat made it feel as if fall was so far away. Suddenly, you’re decorating your home with pumpkins and scrambling to find the perfect costume.
