I really have no idea.
I know I want something more Halloween- like. Last two years I was Little Red Riding Hood.
First it was a bat but now I have no idea. I really need to know what I want to be so I can start making it.
Last year I worked in Spirit Halloween for the season. They had a whole line of messed up fairy tale characters. Like Zombie Red Riding hood who walked around with a bloody knife, ripped up red cload and the head of a wolf in her basket. Or Bad Belle from Disney or Bad Goldi Locks all had the typical costume but shredded up and dirty, Hair sort of in an updo like the origional but very messy, messy makeup looke really crazy. That might be more of what you are looking for.

MrsMyers - my granny always said it would rain if you killed a spider! Jeez, in the north of England it generally rains. She also told me to hide under a table in a storm in case I got hit by lightning, can't see the logic there.
Mu costume for this year was going to be Nosferatu (as in the black and white film) husband vetoed the idea as it would scare him, hell he needs a good scare! I'd probably look more like uncle fester, so I've bought a red silk ball gown to be a vamp in!
Funny thing is since I've killed the spiders it feels like the rain finally stopped here, lots of flooding here in the midwest of the US.
Ooooo red silk dress for a vamp, nice.

I have a friend who once did Little Red Riding Hood, but it was if the wolf had gotten her, so she was all bloody.
I haven't decided yet, but I need to keep with the 80's movie theme. there are lots of good vampire movies from the 80's, maybe I could be Mrs. Blaylock from "The Hunger". I also was thinking about Elvira, she actually made a movie in 1988. I'm feeling the sort of 'sexy' thing this year, don't know why???
Going to be vampire...again. How ever this year I am going to make him kind of colonial like Interview with a Vampire. Except I want to get a black colonial wig. and I need to find a good colonial costume but gothic looking or just old looking.
Traditional Witch
Lily Munster because I have a replica of her necklace, I have the hair, and I looove her. (I have the streak or others now and then, so that's no problem.)
WW1 Nurse
WW2 Nurse
WW2 USO gal in uniform
WW2 Women's Land Army 'land girl'
I chucked the idea of a Countess Bathory, because the costume I want to do would be a little too ambitious for my current finances
I know what I'd like to be, but given no one else would know and the fact we'll be in a new neighborhood, I'm thinking I should do an old stand by or something I know would 'work'.
I have NO idea what to do!!! Usually I play characters from movies. Usually chicks who kick butt, like Tomb Raider, Resident Evil or Oren Ishii.....BUT, this year I have no clue what to do!!
Any ideas? Maybe I go something classic like Wonder woman..... that seems kinda lame.
