Need some ideas for your Halloween costume this year? Whether you're looking to be a futuristic warrior, crime-fighting vigilante, iconic hero, eccentric character, wondrous wizard or scary villain, here's a fantastic selection of movie costumes worn by Hollywood's leading men from the worlds of fantasy, sci-fi, sword and sorcery and more.
Mad Hatter costume from Alice in Wonderland
The Mad Hatter was certainly a popular choice at last year's West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval.
Harry Potter Quidditch robes
I'm sure that lots of fans will be paying homage to Harry Potter this year now that the movies have come to a satisfying conclusion.
Nite Owl II costume from Watchmen
I love Nite Owl's Batman-esque costume design from Watchmen and would love to own a suit like this.
Rorschach outfit from Watchmen
'Rorschach' is also great costume idea from Watchmen and it's probably the easiest to replicate if you have a trench coat, hat and scarf to hand.
Dastan costume from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
If you're a 'sand and sandals' fantasy fan, this Prince of Persia costume would look great, especially if you have the muscles to fill it out like Jake Gyllenhaal did.
Captain Jack Sparrow costume from
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Following a fourth cinematic outing this year, maybe you fancy taking inspiration from 'Captain Jack Sparrow' or one of the other swashbuckling Pirates of the Caribbean characters.
Captain Barbossa costume from
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Blackbeard movie costume from
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
If you're a comic book fan, what about donning the classic superhero tights of 'Superman', or maybe a slightly more gritty 'Dark Knight'?
Superman suit from Superman Returns
Batman suit from Batman Begins
For medieval fantasy fans there's lots of ideas to be gained from the heroes that feature in The Chronicles of Narnia.

Even though The Last Airbender was a pretty dire movie adaptation of the popular cartoon series, 'Aang's' look should be a fairly easy one to replicate (although granted, not everyone wants to shave their head for Halloween).

For Star Wars fans it's time to grab yourself some black and red face-paint, a black cloak and a lightsaber (you know you have one hanging around).
Darth Maul costume from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
If you feel like baring all this season (and have the six-pack and pecs to do so), take a leaf out of Jason Momoa's new look 'Conan the Barbarian'. Although be warned, those chain-mail sleeves are heavy.

Zorro TV costume
Be inspired by the classic look of 'Zorro', which is quite a simple look to replicate if you have some black clothes in your wardrobe, or what about the retro stylings of 'The Rocketeer'.

Original Tron movie costume
And if the new Tron: Legacy light-suits don't do it for you, maybe take a fashion tip from the past (or is that future), with these classic Tron movie costumes.
Kevin Flynn costume from the original Tron
Even if you can't find the exact outfit you were looking for, maybe all these original movie costumes will help spark an idea of what you could be for Halloween.
Just search through my movie costume archives to see even more detailed images to help you create your look.
