Six Tactical Pants Halloween Costumes
Men of Tropic Thunder
As SmartMoney doles out tips on how to cut Halloween costs, we thought it’d be helpful to show how you can use the tactical pants you already own to put together a real badass, potentially frightening costume. Take advantage of the ideas below, or merely use them as a springboard for your own creative Halloween costumes.
- John Connor – Terminator Salvation brought the character who’s been portrayed by Edward Furlong and Thomas Dekker back to the big screen this year. Resurrect him again on All Hallows’ Eve by channeling Christian Bale’s ultra-intense version.
- Any character from Tropic Thunder. Even though this blockbuster might seem so last year, people (namely your friends) still consider the likes of Tugg Speedman or Kirk Lazarus to be cool. While Robert Downey Jr.’s character might require more time in the makeup room, the payoff is bound to be huge.
- G.I. Joe – There’s no better choice than this all-American hero. Give folks a much-needed ’80s flashback, and take advantage of the recent resurgence of the Hasbro toy in Hollywood.
- SpongeBob TacticalPants – So, they might not be square, but some tactical pants have that similar khaki color, right? And with all those roomy pockets, the pants easily will carry all of SpongeBob’s accessories like pet snail Gary and numerous Krabby Patties.
- Rambo – Does Sylvester Stallone ever get old? OK, don’t answer that. Even though Stallone should probably hang up that AK-47 soon, hulking John J. Rambo is pretty much a timeless American action protagonist.
- Another fellow serviceman – Switch things up: If you’re in the Army, dress like a SWAT team member. If you’re a police officer, dress like a soldier. It’s as easy as that.
