Charles Schulz’s timeless comic strip characters can be revived with one of the various classic Peanuts costumes. The many characters of the Peanuts crew have been adored by fans across the world for quite a few decades. You could pay tribute to one of the most famous symbols in American comic strip history.

The most famous Peanut character, Charlie Brown, is an inspiration for one of the most memorable Halloween costumes available. Charlie Brown was recognized for his constant worries but also for that unique yellow and black collared shirt he always wore. The Charlie Brown costume is simple, but a classic for sure. Charlie Brown’s fame was matched only by that of the adorable white dog, Snoopy.

The Snoopy costume recreates the beagle with a full body outfit but signature red dog house not included. Snoopy was rarely seen without his yellow winged sidekick, Woodstock. The Woodstock costume is also a full body outfit that will leave nobody guessing as to your role in the Peanuts series.

Charlie Brown was a “good man” so not surprisingly he had quite a few pals. Linus was the younger brother of Sally and was part of Charlie Brown’s group of buddies. The Linus costume accurately recreates the cartoon character and even includes his famous blue blanket. Lucy, Linus’ older sister in the series, was always pulling that darn football away from Charlie Brown. The Lucy costume comes with a blue dress and also a cartoon headpiece. The Sally costume comes with a bright pink dress and impressive headpiece that recreates the comic strip facial features. Sally shared the female spotlight with Lucy.

The initial cast of Peanuts was small, featuring only Charlie Brown, Shermy, Patty (not to be confused with Peppermint Patty), and a beagle, Snoopy. The first addition, Violet, was made in February, 1951.

Though the strip did not have a lead character at the onset, it soon began to focus on Charlie Brown, a character developed from some of the painful experiences of Schulz’s formative years. Charlie Brown’s main characteristic is either self-defeating stubbornness or admirable determined persistence to try his best against all odds: he can never win a ballgame but continues playing baseball; he can never fly a kite successfully but continues trying to do so. Though his inferiority complex was evident from the start, in the earliest strips he also got in his own jabs when verbally sparring with Patty and Shermy. Some early strips also involved romantic attractions between Charlie Brown and Patty or Violet (the next major character added to the strip). On March 11, 1960 Charlie Brown’s father was revealed to be a barber. Also in 1960, the now popular line of Charlie Brown greeting cards was introduced by Hallmark Cards. Charlie Brown and Snoopy reached new heights on May 18, 1969 as they accompanied astronauts on Apollo 10.

As the years went by, Shermy, Patty, and Violet appeared less often and were demoted to supporting roles (eventually disappearing from the strip in 1969, 1976, and 1984 respectively, although Patty and Violet were still seen as late as April 9, 1995), while new major characters were introduced. Schroeder, Lucy van Pelt, and her brother Linus debuted as very young children — with Schroeder and Linus both in diapers and pre-verbal. Snoopy, who began as a typical puppy, soon started to verbalize his thoughts via thought bubbles. Eventually he adopted other human characteristics, such as walking on his hind legs, reading books, using a typewriter, and participating in sports. He also grew from a puppy to a full-grown dog.
