Do you want a Statler costume this year? Do you even know who he is? Remember those two guys who used to sit up in the balcony on the Muppet show and make fun of everybody? One of the guys that you saw in the balcony was an old man named Statler.

This grouchy old man had a big chin, a big nose and a pair of really bushy eyebrows. In fact he was bald too and only had a little hair on the side and back of his head. They are pretty recognizable characters from the Muppet Show, and these two old men never gave anyone a good word.

He definitely reminds me of a lot of old men I have seen on TV and in the movies. And it’s funny that even though he said he thought the show was so bad that he and his friend Waldorf never missed an episode. Hmmmmm?

So if you’d like to dress up in a Statler costume for Halloween that should be pretty easy to do. All you need is a suit or maybe even an old man sweater and pair pants and a Statler mask and no one, at least no Muppets Show fan,  will misunderstand who you are.

And if you want to be the hit of any Halloween party you go to, just get one of your best friends to dress up as Waldorf and the two of you can be ornery and disagreeable all night long. And just what would you do?  Well, you would heckle your friends costumes and give them unhelpful critiques, just like any old man would do.

And if you want to be part of a really good Halloween group costume then you couldn’t go wrong dressing up as part of the Muppet show cast. In fact, get one of your friends to dress up as Miss Piggy, Kermit the Frog, Gonzo, Waldorf, or any of the other Muppet show to cast and you guys will have fun all night long.

The interaction between all of the characters of the Muppet show that you guys will be copying will be extraordinary and loads of fun to portray. And if you’re a bit of a cynic anyway then the cranky old man would be a perfect fit for you to. So have fun this Halloween in your Statler costume and I hope the rest of your Muppet show cast will have loads of fun.
