Then there are the costumes that are there just to answer the door on Halloween. I think most of us agree that we want inexpensive, but we also want the wow factor.

Wolverine can be one of these simple, inexpensive costumes. He hasn’t worn spandex for a long time, so you might have a lot of the clothes in your closet.  The only standards are facial hair and claws.
