This year I think I'll just get a few diffren't masks then that way I can go as the walking coustome machine. Then it gives me time to change up a bit. Maybe be even scare people twice?

I've always wanted to do an alternate version of a well known 'happy' character, so if I decided to go against my Munster idea, I'll probably choose one of the fairy story characters/Disney princesses and halloween-ify them!

hehehehehe,
that's what I'm doing this year. I started getting my costume around in March. hahah. I'm going to be Alice from Alice In Wonderland but, I'm making her evil Alice. I can't wait. I just about have everything for it.
My grandmother doesn't like my idea of turning Alice evil. hahah, oh well.

My boyfriend suggested that I be Juno. Would that be funny or just dumb? I can't decide! He said all I'd have to do is get an orange & white stripe shirt, put a pillow underneath and walk around w/ a jug of Sunny D!

He's going as the Verizon guy....Can you hear me now???

I've actually been thinking w/ all the Batman hype, that I'd like to do a female Robin costume. I always liked Robin!

Mac Farlane Toys has made a Twisted Fairy Tales action figure serie.
That may give you some ideas... (Little Red Ridding Hood is just awesome!!)

see it at :
SPAWN.COM >> TOYS >> HORROR >> MCFARLANE?S MONSTERS SERIES 4: TWISTED FAIRY TALES

That is a great link, Z. The Red Riding Hood really is fantastic! I want it!
I'm sure these will help the imagination of a few board users run away.
Just wish they had a few more in their collection of characters.

I can't seem to think of a somewhat unique idea for a costume. I like being specific characters, but I don't have to be I suppose. I'm really game for anything. Jason would work, but who hasn't been him. And I'm sure there will be armys of Hellboys this year. Any ideas?

Jolly Green Giant.

Ha ha! Sorry Freudstein for the collateral damages

Did you checked the Twisted Land Of Oz serie?

For our party this year we're doing a theme of Hollyweird. I'm thinking of coming as Audrey Two, from Little Shop of Horrors. Just not quite sure how I'm going to do the head part yet. But I'm glad to figure out a cool costume to try! I'm usually pretty lame at thinking of interesting costumes.

Our neighbor is coming as the woman from The Birds. She found a website where she bought a dozen black birds for cheap, and she's also bought some crows. She's going to plaster them on her dress, with blood dripping from them, and I think try to rig one above her head as if it's attacking her. Too fun!

The theme for our party this year will most likely be Day of the Dead since it's going to be Nov. 1. but at nighttime. So it will be Noche de los Muertos (night of the dead). I'm thinking I will be Frida Kahlo but dead, with the traditional skeleton face makeup worn for Dia de los Muertos. We usually try to dress up as a couple, so I'm not sure what Brian will do. I don't dress up for Halloween day normally, because I have so much running around to do with setting up last minute details. But this year, I might dress up for the trick or treaters. Not sure what yet though.Brian is a big guy, about 6'2 300 lbs so he dresses up as something scary every year for the trick or treaters. With his size, it really scares the beejeezus out of the little ones. It's hilarious. We give the little ones that seem really scared a big sized candy bar (like at the movies) if they have the courage to go up to him instead of me for candy. The fright just melts away when they get a big candy bar.

My plan for this year is to be a spider lady. I'm going to wear all black and cover myself in creepy cloth and spider webs. I'm going to flat iron my hair and use gel to make it like straight dreads (almost like spider legs). I'll do lots of dark makeup and have lots of accessories to go with.

hi MM - when I went as a black widow I bought a pair of pretty spider earings on ebay & a matching pendant which i turned into a choker - i bought a few spider brooches some diamonte/ pewter & had them on my shoulder. arm etc. plus a spider ring.
i made a pill box hat & had a black veil. spider web dress & tights. i had lots of dark make up & red lipstick.

this year I plan to be a grey lady ghost. ghostly grey makeup, long grey wig, i bought two different types of grey material to make a long skirt & underskirt - and it will be ditressed. i bought this floaty top on ebay too - i'll make it paler with talcum powder though.
