How to Dress like Pee Wee Herman for Halloween
Pee-Wee Herman was one of the biggest and most recognizable stars of the 1980's. For those that grew up with Pee-Wee, his look would also make one of the most recognizable Halloween costumes. Paul Reubens, the actor that played Pee-Wee, garnered 22 Emmy Awards and was even given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1988. He starred in kid-friendly shows and movies, like the "The Pee-Wee Herman Show," "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure," and Pee-Wee's Playhouse." Though Reubens' reputation may have been tainted in the early 90's, Pee-Wee is still a pop culture icon.
