The Muppet Show Costumes

Back around 1955, Jim Henson created some colorful puppet like characters that he called “Muppets.” The term “Muppet” came from combining the words Marionette and Puppet. Over the years, the Muppets have become very well known, starring in numerous feature films and television shows that are beloved by children of all ages. The Muppet Movie (1979) was the original film featuring Jim Henson’s crazy Muppets and due to its great success, was rapidly followed by “The Great Muppet Caper” (1981). Many other movies starring the Muppets have been made, as well as many television shows.

Most Muppets have a very distinctive appearance, with wide mouths and very large eyes. Some of the more renowned Muppet characters include Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Rizzo the Rat, Gonzo the Great and Rowlf the Dog.

An adorable Halloween group costume idea is to dress up the entire family as various characters from The Muppet Show. Whether you choose prima donna Miss Piggy or The Great Gonzo, your night of experiencing life as a Muppet is going to go down in good time history!
