Getting your teen boy to dress up for Halloween can be a difficult task. The best way to get them to toss on a teen Halloween costume, and participate with the rest of the family, is to allow him to pick out his own costume.  Mom’s, like me, may find this difficult, but it is okay… it is just Halloween and sometimes you have to pick and choose your battles.

Once you’ve already arranged a venue, fixed the date and time, picked out the costume, filled candy buckets, all you have to do for the greatest Halloween ever is to build a spooktacular invitation to encourage people to attend your party. Template.net’s got your back, too! They have one of the best and trusted online Halloween Invitations for free.

Here is a list of costumes that have received “teen boy” approval here at Mom Does Reviews.  Costumes have been selected based upon common teen costume behavior- the “scary and cool” kid, the “class clown”, and the “I don’t want to do this but if you are making me”. 

Howling at The Moon

Howl at the moon all night long in this Child Werewolf Costume, and prove that the folk tales are true! Transform from your normal self to a frightful Halloween creature by simply adding this costume to your own jeans and hiking boots or sneakers.

Cryptic Rocker

Rock N’ Roll is here to stay! Take some of the most iconic characteristics from popular music genres and you get Rot N’ Rockers…cool demented characters inspired by the popularity of retro music, films and video games. Cryptic Rocker is his name and as hard core as they come. This is a costume taken to a whole new level and everyone else will be wishing they had a costume as cool as you. Includes: Jacket with faux printed shirt, half-cap mask with hat and hair (pants, guitar, and makeup for hands and face are not included)

Teen Boy Gorilla Costume

Being a human isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. School can be a drag and all those responsibilities can really keep a guy down. Taking a step back on the evolutionary chain might be the best answer. As a gorilla your only real problems are acquiring bananas and going wild. Both of those things are pretty easy problems to take care of. This ape costume can give you a taste of that, even if only for a night.
