About Tarzan

Tarzan was first created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Tarzan was left in the jungle because of a shipwreck and the subsequent loss of his parents. In the African jungle Tarzan was adopted by apes who raised him. He was brought back to society during the book, but he was dissatisfied with the outcome so he went back to the jungle. Tarzan’s first appearance was Tarzan of the Apes which appeared in a magazine before becoming a book. There were 23 sequels to the novel. During his trials in the jungle and out of it Tarzan met Jane Porter and her father. Since the book there have been plenty of variations and adaptations to the screen. The first movie was a silent film in 1933. Since then about every few years a new Tarzan movie is made with the various books. The last film to be created was by Disney with the animated version. There was also a few television series based on Tarzan in the last 50 years.

Dressing up as Tarzan

Tarzan for the most part has a very simple costume. It just depends on how you would like it to look. You can have the full Tarzan costume of loincloth that also covers the chest with one shoulder strap or you can have the loin cloth and leave the rest of you bare. In most of the later movies Tarzan is seen with less clothing than the full loin cloth of the original movies, so it is up to you how much you would like to spend. There are costumes for children and adults for any budget. There are no shoes needed for this costume and ape like qualities can fulfil the image you are offering. Jane and Tarzan and Jane costumes can give you a few more ideas regarding Halloween costumes as Tarzan. For Jane there is a sexy loincloth outfit in which there is a skirt and top cut provocatively or you can choose her English style clothing.
