Thread: Help; can't decide on costume!

Tweet

I'm stuck between two different costumes. The design of the mini haunted room is going to depend on which costume I wear. I want to do something kind of scary, but not enough to scare away the little TOTs.

I've got two costumes I could do and spend the least amount of money. A life size doll for a haunted childrens room. Room with a large collection of antique dolls, wooden toys, and stuffies with a huge chair to sit in. Maybe with a tiny tea set covered in webs.

Or a twisted version of the Mad Hatter, for a tea party room. The room would feature a table with a variety of tea cups, tea pots, saucers, clocks, bugs, spiderwebs, rats accompanied with creepy music.

Here's the sketches of the costumes and make up I'm thinking about.

Which do you guys think would be better for this year?

That really is a though decision (excellent drawings and designs, by the way). Is this for a large or small yard haunt? I would decide based on the rest of the haunt's theme. Is it general Halloween imagery or a very diverse assembly of themes? I think the doll would be better for a general theme, as suddenly encountering a mad Hattress would be a bit jarring if the rest of the place is done up with zombies, ghosts and classic ghouls. But if you have a theme that goes well with a visit to Wonderland, the Hatter would be appropriate. Not sure if this helped .

Thank yous
It's going to be an extremly small haunt. Since we're on base housing I can't build anything large. But I'm going to decorate and fix up our carport and turn it into a scene. We have a small collection of tombstones that will be way at the end of our driveway, but no zombies or ghouls. Since either one would be set up as an indoor room I thought it would be okay if they were a different scene.
