Default Costume From Movie "The Birds"

Hello,

This year I am going to dress as Melanie Daniels from the original Birds movie. Just curious if anyone else has done that ?

I have most of my costume together,except for a blond wig and shoes.

I've never done it, but I've seen it done, and it was FABULOUS. Grey suit with birds sewn all over it, hair a little mussed, and just a trickle of blood down the forehead...it was really creepy!!!

I love that idea! Hitchcocks films are amongst my favorites.

I was considering this for myself this year, until I decided on what I'm going with. Would love to do it one year though. I am really looking forward to seeing finished pictures!
It's one of my favourite films

In the old TV series "Roseanne", Darlene wore that costume. It was unforgettable! They always had great costumes, but for me, that was the best. I think she had a handbag and every detail was perfect. I also remember a scene where a head was in a pot on the stove, and it was a real person hidden underneath the stove with a cutout for the head to come through. I think it was Roseann's sister as the head, and Roseann was stirring around it. (Who'd ever think Roseanne Barr would influence my life, LOL!)

Default Roseanne

You got me searching for her DVD's on Amazon and I found they compiled the Halloween episodes and sell it as Roseanne: Halloween Edition [DVD] (2006), so of course I bought it (less than $8 total). Thanks for the DVD tip.
