“It ain’t ogre till it’s orgre” or so they say about the Shrek movie franchise, that recently released its fourth and final installment of “Shrek Forever After”. Popular with both parents and kids, the films starring one of the most lovable fairy tale animated characters, being voice by today’s biggest and brightest actors. With the success of the 4th Shrek movie, its almost a guarantee that the Shrek costumes will be popular as well. Shrek, the ogre is the most popular Halloween costume from the movie series and features the rude yet loveable big guy’s outfit of paid pants, an ivory tunic and brown vest. And it  wouldn’t be Shrek without the green latex mask with horn-like ears. But if you prefer not to wear the mask, you have the option of applying green face paint and a headband with his horns. As we find out in the first movie, Princess Fiona was place under a spell that caused her to become an ogress after dark. Once she fell in love with Shrek, she realized that being an ogre isn’t bad and lives happily with her little green ogre babies. Fiona is often shown wearing  lavender, green or blue gown and has a long brown braid and tiara-horn headpiece. Other Shrek costumes include Puss in Boots, the suave and smooth, Spaniard cat shown wearing tall leather boots, a caballero hat, cape and a sword. Shrek’s sidekick, the donkey, he’s dumb as a doornail but always the life of the party. The donkey costume is everything that you expect it to be with a furry suit, tall stand-up donkey ears and buck teeth – hee haw!  Another costume idea for Shrek fans is the Gingerbread Man, a delectable jumpsuit embellished with almost-real looking confections such as gumdrops, frosting and non-pariels.
