Every year a large group of my friends (15-20) go to a giant Halloween party where other large groups are and compete for costume prizes and have a good time. We've gone as Alice in Wonderland, Food Icons, and Dr. Seuss characters. I am looking for new ideas, it is hard to come up with something original, and after three years I am tapped out.

Any help, remember it has to encompass 15-20 people.

The place where my husband works had a competition last year. He works at a local home improvement store. They had to take the flat lumber carts and decorate them with items from the store. I thought the dalmation one was really cute. Go to my album and look at them please. Give me a minute to load them.

Rocky Horror Picture Show - the main cast plus the Transylvanians (the Time Warp number)

Zombies - like from the Thriller video

The Verizon Dude with "the network"

A circus troupe - (this would be really fun) with a ringmaster, acrobats, strongman, bearded lady, clowns, etc....

thanks, these are some great ideas

A can-can line (it'd be really funny with the guys in those dresses)
A zombified football team (could have some cheerleaders too)
Simpsons characters (if you're all real creative)

You can all dress up as:
Penguins
Star Wars characters
Flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz
Superheroes and villains
Fairy tale characters (e.g., three blind mice, little miss muffet, little red riding hood, three bears)

Robin Hood's "Men in Tights" - of course you would have to learn the dance number

all guys? Go as the Spartans from 300 if you're comfortable with that amount of skin

Shaun of the Dead's crew and some zombies

The Little Rascals - not scary, but a grown man dressed as Alfalfa is funny

All dress up as Agent Smith from the Matrix that would seriously freak me out if I saw it coming down the street *LOL*

zoo animals!

Famous stars (pick a decade)

You can be a traveling circus/freak show.

you need a ringmaster, strong man, clowns, stiltwalker (if you can get one), a magician, knifethrowers assistant, a bearded lady, snak lady (think Serpentina), fire breathers, a fortune teller, acrobats, swordswallower, the list is endless.

hope it helps.
