What better time than Halloween to brush up on your banana-peeling skills? If you want your party to be more fun than a barrel of monkeys this Halloween, why not try primate costumes. Here are some ideas on how to put one together:
Monkeys are closely related to chimpanzees, but there are quite a few differences. The most obvious one is that monkeys have tails, so don't forget your fifth limb if you're going for a monkey costume! Similar to your options with the monkey costume, for the chimpanzee outfit you can just grab a plastic mask, and a simple suit and call it a day, or you can get more creative.
If you're the crafty type, visit your local fabric store and look for some furry material that you can make a monkey/chimp suit out of. Alternatively, you can buy pre-made costumes online.
Gorilla costumes are a staple of Halloween and it's no wonder why: with abs and pecs like those, gorillas can be pretty scary! There are many different kinds of gorilla costumes that you can try. For example, if you just want to go with something simple, you can grab a cheap plastic gorilla mask and put on a nice leather jacket or even a black zentai suit that has a gorilla body printed on it.
If you're looking to go full King Kong, then you'll need one of those more expensive realistic gorilla suits. You might want to perfect your knuckle-walking before the big night, too. Pre-made costumes for gorillas are hard to find, but you can easily make your own ape costume; simply buy a mask and then wear a hairy bodysuit that matches it.
