Question Black light costume/prop

I'm thinking of creating a ghost/monster costume that looks like a fake prop, but is really me dressed up (fairly standard bait-and-switch idea), except that I am going to be hiding in a black light area of our yard haunt. I have bought black light contacts (in yellow) and some black light paint for my teeth (I'm going to use it on my dental distortions teeth). But what I'm looking for is what you think will be the most effective costume.
I was thinking of maybe one of those lame white ghost costumes that are basically a sheet with the eyes cut out (wouldn't need the teeth for this) and wearing all black underneath (including gloves), then putting hand holds for my arms, so they can rest, as well as a prop of some sort for in front of my feet (say a rock?).
Do you think that would be effective? Can you think of other/better ways to conceal me in plain site until I pounce? I'm thinking that the contacts will make my eyes look fake (since most people's eye don't glow). I was also considering moving in a FCG manner and then suddenly moving forward.
Or do you think another type of monster entirely would work better? Say....a black light clown? Sitting hunched on a chair until pouncing???
Any input/suggestions/ideas are appreciated! thanks
