![]() ![]() What do you want from your Halloween adventures this year? How about fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, and miracles? No, not real torture! Getting years sucked from your lifespan by a mysterious medieval machine is no way to celebrate All Hallows Eve. But when you and your friends are donning Princess Bride costumes, there's no better time to break out those fencing moves you've secretly been working on in your basement (bonus points for refusing to use your dominant hand with Bonetti's Defense). Whether you and your company are dressing up as the three ruffians storming the castle to restore true love and gain revenge or you're pairing up with your very own farm boy to celebrate your undying bond, everyone is sure to find the perfect costume in this collection! The classic The Princess Bride provides plenty of over-the-top tomfoolery for your night out and plenty of suave quotes just in case anyone calls you out for getting too into character. The quest for vengeance is a noble one and Inigo has sacrificed much in pursuit of it. For one, asking everyone about the number of fingers on their right hand takes a serious social toll. It's just not a great way to become popular. ![]() At least his pasttime gave him the drive to sword fight like a pro. In fact, in the movie the style of sword fighting in that dramatic cliff top scene with the Man in Black is accurate to the 17th-century style of fighting and both actors did their own moves (all except that ridiculous flip Westley pulled at the end). So, when you're dressing up as this revenge-seeking Spaniard make sure you've got a fancy sword for that fancy fighting and a lush head of hair to help you deliver your dramatic lines! And hey, don't be afraid to take advantage of this costume. If someone is using the word "literally" wrong use your character to finally set them straight with a quick, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."Ī heart of gold, a knack for rhyming, and some serious wrestling skills are just a few qualities that make Fezzik one of our favorite characters! This gentle giant is the unsung hero of The Princess Bride, just think about it. He's the one who gets Inigo out of a stupor so that they can save that mysterious Man in Black and make true love come to fruition. Without Fezzik's intimidating demeanor, Westley would never have gained entry to the castle to find his true love and Inigo would have never found the six-fingered man and avenge his father. That jerk Vizzini told Fezzik that he'd end up where Vizzini found him if Vizzini fired the giant for rhyming: brainless, helpless, and hopeless, unemployed in Greenland. Turns out he was wrong, the scheme failed miserably and Fezzik ended up doing just fine. Just think about it, the Sicilian got polished off by his own ego while Fezzik got to save the day with three white horses! This Fezzik costume is simple with a belted tunic, tall boot covers, and blue striped pants. You might want to add a hearty pair of mutton chops.
