melissa - I am a HUGE fan of Hocus Pocus and THAT sounded like a totally cool idea!! I had always wanted to dress like a Sanderson sister but I could never get two other friends to go along with it. LOL also that and we all wanted to be Sara. [:I]

For me, I guess my favorite costume was kind of a mixture of a demon/vampire/priest. I dressed in all black with leather pants, shirt with priest collar, a Black Preacher style Trenchcoat, Theatrical contacts that were yellow with red trim, my fangs were the shredder style (Double fangs) and I had Taloned Finger Armor. It scared a few people, when they saw me coming

My bro says that I'm gothic (all I ever wear is black everything but that's about as far as it goes) so people just look at me the same on Halloween! lol Seriously, my vampire/warrior costume. I dress all in black, black cape, long black skirt w/slit all the way up, black bra and a see through black shirt, fishnet stockings, and leather knee boots. My ex-husband has a sword that he lets me borrow and I wear lots of chains! I've got some pretty cool jewelry that I wear with it, oh, and of course my fangs!
The sky is black, the wind is dead
I hear your screams in my head
I will twist you, corrupt you, turn your heart black
I am the fear that makes your mouth go slack
What presence am I that can't be seen?
I am the spirit of Halloween!
mine was a gum ball. i wore a foam ball (really big) whish i cut in half and cut out my bodiy's shape then i used velcrow to keep it together at the party and i painted it pink. i also had a pink wig and pink nails and tights. that has to be my fave costume
Mine has to be the one that I now use to escort guests through our House of Horrors. Very distinctive, very elaborate, incredible under Black Light, the host of our Haunt, The Ghost of Elvis.
Six-hun'erd plus sequins, complete with hand-held macrophone and belt-mounted speaker. Thang-ya-vera-much.
In the recent past I was thrilled with how my Crow costume came out. It was something thrown together in twenty minutes since I got home very, very late from work that day and had little time to put the costume I had planned on. Otherwise one year I gathered together a bunch of different pieces from halloweens past and put together a costume. Ended up being a long black dress, black boots, and skull mask that had enough give in it for me to insert a small flashlight that lit up the entire mask. It was really cool outside but tended to scare the little ones until I turned off the light then they thought I was ok.

My Killer Clown costume. You can buy the costume in stores it has an apron with blood. I had the scaryest clown make up and red hair like pennywise from it had. People stared at me then turned their heads when I looked at them and I made kids cry. It's the greatest costume for halloween ever.

My favorite costume is the one I've used for two years now, but I've added a few things, like my authentic medieval shackles, a fake skull axe, and Dracula's Severed Head. I have made up a story that goes with my costume.... here it is....
The Grim Executioner,
Once a demon from hell, he served Dracula for thousands of years only to be fed up with continuously following orders from him. One day while Dracula was sleeping in his coffin, the Grim Executioner took an axe, and severed Dracula's head while he was sleeping. He now walks the night searching and severing the heads of anyone who dares approach him.
Like I said, this is only a little story I made up to go along with my costume.
The first was Boba Fett. The entire thing is hand made. The helmet has a voice changer that feeds to a speaker on the chest, the backpack has light up rocket nozzles, the helmet also has a bright halogen bulb in the targeting thingie ( I don't know what it is supposed to be, It looks like a little camera on a stick that runs up the right side of the helmet). I was able to get an auto injector to use as the grappling rope shooter on the left wrist, it actually shoots a cork covered projectile.
My second favorite took me 8 months to make. It was Roman Armor made from sheet metal. It is called a Loricae segmentata. I had to blacksmith the brass fittings and hinges but the helmet took the longest since I made the crest from real horse hair which had to be cut, dyed, and glued into the wooden crest piece.
