What are the Good & Bad points of your costume last year?

It doesn't fit the head as well as it needs. It covers the top, which is fine, bit there's not enough on the side for proper control. When you turn your head, it slides around a little. I tried putting it as tight as I could, which only cut me and it still slid around. Others have used old motorcycle helmets and they like them better also.

Last year

Costume: Female version of the Phantom of the Opera

Picture of Costume:

Successes: it was a bit hit with everyone, and I was impressed with the final result. Everything went great together

Failures: I struggled to do the scarring make-up under, and just out of, the mask. The petticoat was hard to manouver around in(but without it, the costume would have been less impressive)

How i'd change things if i were to go back: I'd spend more time researching/attempting to creating the scarring effect

This Year

Costume Ideas: (I've been planning since november last year) Tiffany, as in the bride of Chucky
Possible costume problems: finding an affordable wedding dress close to the one she wears

Wasn't my costume it was my sons, he hid in the bushes in a ghillie suit. He had a wonderful time jumping out and frightening the life put of poor unsuspecting trick or treaters. Only problem was because he'd been in the bushes so long, some big hairy spiders decided he'd make a nice new home

Had to get the husband to catch them all and put them back in the real bushes!

Last year

Costume:
Picture of Costume: 1st pic
Successes: creepy all the way. Little gore going on
Failures: Way hot
How i'd change things if i were to go back: Mask was a replica of someone elses work. Soap based blood.

This Year

Costume Ideas: Custom mask based on the charachter that went over so well last year. Turned up the gore a little.
Possible costume problems: Too scary. I've been told to not make my presence known until AFTER they get tickets. lol. I can read the person's limits and use it well. Won't be able to find blood that does not stain my skin

Last year

Started as a psychotic clown, morphed into this:

Picture of Costume:

Successes:

Won scariest costume of 2008! People were all around freaked out and had a hard time looking at my contacts

Failures:

The wig got immediately too itchy to wear and the hair kept going into my mouth, hence the before and after pix.

How I'd change things if i were to go back:

Only think I might change would have been something with the wig.

This Year

Not sure yet, tough trying to figure out something to top last years! Suggestions!?
