Perseus The Warrior Vs Calibos The Monster - Greek Halloween Costumes That Rock

Lets step back a little to a time of great myths and legends, brilliant story telling, and maybe the inclusion of the Hollywood touch, and look at the classic characters from the brilliant story of "Clash Of The Titans,' two in particular, Perseus, and Acrisius, also known as Calibos, after been turned into a monster. These two enemies make the perfect Halloween costume idea, for both men and boys.

Really the Clash Of The Titans movie is just a collaboration of mostly Greek mythology and a little Roman throwing in, and mixed up for some great Hollywood story telling, and as the first movie was made in 1981(my favorite) another entertaining remake was made in 2010, and because of this, Clash of the Titans Halloween costume have become very popular, but you can see why with the great looking characters in the movies.

Perseus
Perseus is the half human son of the Greek God Zeus who is a brave warrior that defeats the monster Medusa and slays the beast the Kraken, winning the love and saving the Princess Andromeda. While trying to do this he is perused by the monster Calibos.

The Perseus costumes for Halloween available are outstanding looking. They are mean and powerful looking, come with battle scarred looking tunics and armor, featuring chest pieces, arm gauntlets and shin guards, swords and shield, a seriously fun costume, and made specifically for men and boys, from standard sizes to XL sizes. A brilliant costume to help you turn heads this Halloween.

Calibos
Calibos was once called Acrisius, the son of the Goddess Thetis and was engaged to Andromeda. He was struck with lightening by Zeus and turned into the monster he is now. Calibos becomes angry about the love between Perseus and Andromeda and takes her prisoner, which sets of the chain of events that make this a gripping enjoyable story.

The Calibos costumes are outrageously crazy looking and fun to wear. They include a torn and tattered tunic, a molded chest-piece with scar details, gauntlets, molded fingers and shin guards, and a brilliant vile mask, all in all, the perfect Halloween costume.

These costumes are unique, and perfect for men and boys, wanting to rule this Halloween.

Perseus Costume From "Clash of the Titans"

Released by Warner Brothers on April 2, 2010, Clash of the Titans tells the perilous tale of Perseus, the half-mortal son of the Greek God Zeus who embarks on a journey to fulfill his fate. For years, movies with mythological themes have been popular with action-seeking audiences, not only for the exciting storyline but for the elaborate costuming bringing the characters to life. In Clash of the Titans, Academy Award winning costume designer Lindy Hemming brings her finesses for detail to the elaborate clothing worn in this epic film.

Thanks to Clash of the Titians, Greek god, goddess and monster costumes are sure to see a revival for Halloween this year. The protagonist, Perseus, will be a favorite character to emulate due to his handsome and heroic efforts to stop the underworld and its minions from ruining the heavens and Earth alike - and of course, to get the girl of his dreams, Andromedia.

An old-school Perseus costume can be created with a basic Greek God costume consisting of a scarlet toga, sword and shaggy brown hair similar to the look actor Harry Hamlin brought to the character back in the 1981 film version of the myth. However, the Perseus costume in the recent movie remake has a much different style. Actor Sam Worthington sports an almost shaved head and wears a costume that more resembles the garments worn by Roman Gladiators, not Greek Gods.

Those looking to put together Clash of the Titan or Perseus Halloween costumes, a metal skirt topped with breastplate armor should be paired with a sword and oversized shield for the big screen silhouette. Metal and leather arm cuffs and sandals with shin guards complete the battle-ready look. While there are not currently licensed Clash of the Titan's costumes on the market as of yet, a Gladiator costume similar to the costumes worn in the movie 300 will suffice. Oh, and the severed, snake-haired head of the evil Medusa will make a gruesome costume accessory!
