9 Funny Adult Pirate Halloween Costumes You Can't Do Without This Halloween

By Peggy Huiseghems

Do you long for a time long past, when men were men and women were women? A time when robbing a few ships at sea and stealing their gold was more of an acceptable occupation than a crime; when rum was a mandatory grocery item and slurring your words just meant you were one of the boys. Regardless of how much of a SNAG you've become or how far you live from the ocean, Halloween offers you the opportunity to get back to your roots and engage in a little piracy without getting arrested.

Halloween is a time when anything is possible. So if you've been scouring the seven seas for a buxom wench and not having much luck, perhaps you've not been looking the part. Get into a unique pirate costume on the big night and you might find your perfect mate.

It's a known fact that women can't resist a bad guy - just ask Captain Jack Sparrow or Johnny Depp. Bring them running in the Pirates of the Caribbean 3 Captain Jack Sparrow Prestige Adult Costume.

Or go really bad in the Cap'n Cutthroat Elite Collection Costume. One-up the regular trick or treaters. Engage in a little piracy and extort your neighbors in style. For the larger, more mature pirate there's the Rustic Pirate Elite Collection Plus Costume.

Men aren't the only ones with pirate fantasies. Back in the days there were plenty of women out to hook a pirate or two on the high seas. If you'd like to capture a pirate's heart on Halloween, slip into the Vixen Pirate Wench Costume and you'll turn a few eye patches your way. If you're a social climber at heart and you're looking for an up-market pirate, the Elegant Pirate Lady Costume might help you out.

If a missing arm does it for you, or you're a Peter Pan fan, the Ultimate Captain Hook Costume could be the right fit. If you'd prefer to join the throng of zombies, skeletons and ghosts, but still want to indulge your pirate fetish, we're here to help. You can do both in the Pirate Ghost Elite Costume.

Feel like one of the crowd as you pillage and plunder your way through the streets. For the bigger guys, if you want to add a little gore to your outfit for the night, and send a few little scoundrels screaming for their mommy, the Barnacle Bill Costume should do the trick. With a blood soaked kneecap and blood covered fake bones nobody is going to mess with this pirate!

And what pirate adventure is complete without the rotting corpse of a zombie pirate fresh from the murky depths? Slip into the Pirate Skeleton Plus costume and you'll fit right in with the Halloween crowd.

If you're planning a night of sweet extortion on Halloween you'll fare better if you're dressed appropriately for the role so people know you mean business. "Hand it over lady" is far more effective coming from a pirate than Casper the friendly ghost. Whether you're looking to score a sweet booty or a partner in piracy you'll have better luck in a realistic pirate costume.
