Hi everyone!
I thought I'd pick your brains for costume ideas. I'm looking for ideally a "scary" costume that is instantly recognizable, so people aren't sitting there asking me all night who I am. I don't want to wear anything too sexed up because it's not my style, but I'm not against wearing dresses or anything. Just nothing too Elvira-like
I want it to be a costume I can feasibly do home-made or by thrift shop searching, because I find those a lot more satisfying.
Some past "scary" costumes I have done: witch (past two years because I've been broken and want to move on!), Carrie, Vampire, Cruella DeVille (does she count as scary?)..
Here are some I have considered: Morticia Addams, Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas (although finding a patchwork dress would be difficult!), Claire from Heroes with some ribs sticking out after one of her falls.
One costume that I would really like to try out too is Leela from Futurama, but I think it's not scary enough and that's been the criteria that's been set for the Halloween party I'm hosting, so I should probably follow it!
Thanks in advance for all of your ideas, guys!
