Grinch Costume Ideas

About Grinch

The green goblin of Christmas, the Grinch, has delighted and appalled audiences since his first appearance in 1957. This loathsome cartoon character, created by none other than Dr. Seuss, has been the antagonist in books and movies alike, the most recent big screen actor portraying the grouchy Grinch being Jim Carey. He is sure to go down in history as one of the most horrible Christmas meisers along with Ebenezer Scrooge himself!

Dressing up as the Grinch

Whether you prefer the warmth of a full fur body suit or a cooler latex mask for your costume, no Grinch would be complete without a Santa suit top and hat (but leave the pants at home!). Green leggings will do if you go the latex mask route. Got a furry friend? Strap a pair of antlers on to your dog or cat to give your character true Grinch flavor. Just don't try this with your pet goldfish. Grab yourself a santa sack and head over to the nearest Who village. Despite your efforts to ruin Christmas, the spirit of the season might get you just yet. Don't forget what it did for the original Grinch!
