and please, no zombies or vampires, I'm sick of them. Any ideas? I like beautiful/glam, but creepy. Last year, I went as a creepy doll and spider queen.

Just kinda expanding on a theme here; the evil librarians... well I'm planning on an evil variant based on my job. Since I do a few things for target I'm going to build off the base character, The Dark Attendant (cart attendant). But I'm also the bike builder/mechanic for my store sooo that's where the combination comes in. Anyways my point is that if possible do a dark, twisted, or evil, etc. variation on your job or even some other job. Politician with black eyeballs, creepy smile, and a briefcase with money sticking out. Construction worker with nails in their face, pipe through ribcage, etc. Bicycle delivery person with handlebars through ches, stomach, or back and a crushed or broken package on their head with packing peanuts strewn about stuck in place with blood.
My costume was "Cinderella, that didn't go home at midnight"
I bought a Cinderella dress online and then ripped it, added mice and pieces of pumpkin & seeds, a blond wig that I pulled up carelessly, a bit messy and added a tiara that looked like it was falling off.

My 12-year-old is planning to go as Buffy the Vampire Slayer (tv version). She has a pair of red pants and a black tank top. We are going to see if we can find a prop stake and we will be done. Easy, comfortable, non-revealing, and she probably won't see too many other Buffy costumes running around.

I was reading the 1st few pages of this thread, and Buffy was the 1st thing I thought of.
The next thing was a doctor Seuss character, maybe one from Whoville.

Retrohal, that costume's lovely!
I've noticed an effective costume is dressing in some sort of normal formalwear, but adding a realistic animal mask (preferably an overhead mask). It has a genuinely creepy effect and seems to really unsettle people. My husband calls it the "Wicker Man Effect".

I did this one year for a haunted house my parents did for some of their friends kids. I wore a long black dress and a gorilla mask. I'm really tall for a woman, so that added to the creepy effect. I scared one of the kids so badly that he kicked me in the shin.Retrohal, that costume's lovely!

Ouch! But the kid will never forget that costume, I bet.

My wife has resorted to making our daughters costume every year now. Lucky for us she learned how to sew after being unable to find non questionable attire for little girls. But now she's getting too big for the dinosaur jumpsuit type of costume, so I think it's my turn to start helping out with foam armor and weapons.

Our first year in Chicago we went to the Halloween parade. I got felt up by two antelopes in formal wear. My Wife thought it was hilarious and so did I really. Got a picture but its on our old hard drive.

Just found this page about Ghostbusters Hallowe'en costumes that are more tasteful and, I hope, in keeping with what you are after. Hope it helps. http://www.bustle.com/articles/1140...usters-group-halloween-costume-is-easier-than-you-think-so-get-your-squad-ready

Consider going as Rosie the Riveter for a strong, iconic look, or Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games for something fierce and practical. Hermione Granger is always a solid choice if you're into the magical vibe, or you could channel some adventurous spirit as Amelia Earhart. Even a classic witch costume can be spooky and stylish without being revealing. Lots of room for creativity while keeping it comfortable!
