Thread: 2007 Costume ideas

Tweet

I'm sure most people have an idea of what they will be this Halloween. So what is it? Share your costume ideas here and maybe list ideas for others.

I've got it narrowed down to a mermaid, medusa or a medieval something or another - unless something else strikes my fancy by then.

It's my superstition that I never tell anybody what my husband or I am going to be. That way, when ghouls show up at "The Party to Die For", they never know what to expect!

However, since I work in The Costume Shop, I usually dress up about 20 days during the Halloween season. I like traditional vampires, mummies, devils, executioners, witches, reapers and my very own favorite.....The Cannibal.

A medusa mask would be interesting to make. You could take any full latex mask and cut the face off. Then attach rubber snakes all over the top. Put wires in some snakes so you could pose them.

I think there was a good Medusa scene in the movie "Clash of the Titans."
Do an image search on Deviantart.com and you will probably get some cool pics.

After starting this thread it's really got me thinking. I either want to be a devil or go back to my good ole vampire.

Haunt did a build on just such a costume this last yr.

Since I decided to have a vampire/Dracula theme party this year and the fact that I'm obsessed with the 1931 Bela Lugosi Dracula movie, I decided to make myself up as Lucy in that movie. I am getting a 1930's finger wave blond wig and I found a place on the web that sells reproduction patterns for 1930's clothing. Should be a fun twist on the traditional vampire costume. I was Elizabeth Bathory about 2 years ago.
