What is the best thing to dress as for halloween? Ghost, zombie, pirate, vampire, playboy bunny, superheroes, witch, cat, cowgirl/boy, monster, ninja, angel, devil, murderer?

Need help!

lol omg im in the same spot as you rawr . I was looking at costumes last night and i keep going for the dorkiest things like Indian, pirate ( which ive been already) vampire which there's never a good costume of... goddess of Rome.. I don't know there's so many good costumes out this year but nothing i really want to be. =(

I know I've been everything- it seems- ck out my costume album maybe theirs some ideas 4 u

Oh, that is the question, isn't it? If there is a themed party to go to, I guess that helps make the decision. But for Halloween night, I always dress up as a Witch to give out candy. When I was a kid, I was always a gypsy. I think I prefer the classic, darker costume choices.

I'd say combine them all into one costume, Rawr. You'd certainly get points for originality.

There's no "best thing" to go as. Everyone has different tastes, and different ideas. It's completely your choice.
There's nothing stopping you doing everything on your list; the way to go about it is to mark one off per year/costume party! Choose your fave for this year - it doesn't have to be bought all in one. Shop around for bits you can piece together. Be creative. This way, you're sure no-one will come in the same costume.
There must be hundreds of ways you can do a vampire costume without it being plain.

Zombies, pirates, witches and vampires are awfully popular choices any more, if you go to a party you're pretty much guaranteed to see one of them (especially if the party is big). The same goes for fairies and "dark" angels. I like the idea of the ghost, if you could do it up way different than the ordinary sheet. I also haven't seen many mummy or skeleton costumes in the past couple of years. I like the idea of the cat, or the ninja, or a ninja cat for that matter. The murderer sounds too plain. A monster would be freaking awesome because you have complete creative control over where you want to take it; is it purple? is it hairy? does it have scaly skin? Horns? etc.

I thought everyone on here was like me , I knew at the end of Halloween last year what I was going to dress up as this year.

When I'm working at The Costume Shop people often come in and don't know what they want to be so I always ask them what catagory? Do you want to be Scary? Sexy? Funny? Glamourous? Classic? Once that's determined, then it narrows it down a little bit. It's usually a bit of a reflection of someone's personality.

What I don't like is when someone is something that no one can figure out and they have to ask what/who are you?

Me? Personally, I like the classics, only "over the top" vampires, zombies, mummies, werewolves, and cannibals. Hee, hee, I must be hungry! LOL.

... and I always suggest they look through other people's party pics to get some ideas. Here, start with mine: STARK Madness Photo Gallery - Home > Parties > Halloween
