Think about it... she was on an all protein, zero carb diet after all!!!

Okay, I couldn't resist that one.

Not quite your typical Hollywood/Universal classic horror characters, but what about fairy tale villains?

If you research certain fairy tales (go beyond the Disney versions), you can find some really creepy stuff in there. And with a little imagination, you could make a pretty cool and unique costume.

Spats, I love your view that we all love going witchy! I am counting on it this year as I host my first all female Be WITCHY party. It is fashioned after the wonderful ones hosted by forum members Pandora and Mhooch.

I am going all out on decor and props. I have a wide range of friends---some who don't "do" Halloween, but I am hoping to have inticed them with this one.

Love the Lady Usher idea, Spats.
Johnny, what about Carrie? Not a monster, but still, classic horror in it's own right? Baby and Spaulding or Otis from The Devil's Rejects, The Woman in Black from, well, The Woman in Black, along with any of the awesome suggestions from our fellow haunters. Good luck to you and your girl. Let us know what you come up with!

Carrie would definitely be beyond her comfort zone...

After reading some of the suggestions here, she is leaning towards a witch of some type. I'll let everyone know what she decides and hopefully get some pictures up of our display and costumes this year!

"Get their witch on". I am SOOOO stealing this phrase from you, Spats. Bloody Brilliant.

Pamela Voorhees from the original Friday the 13th would be a good match. The costume would be easy to put together and I don't think I've ever seen anyone go as her before. Some people might not know what it is, but the true horror film lovers would.
