Halloween Costume Ideas?

FunkyFresh · 08-October-04, 11:47 AM

Okay, so I'm going to a costume party this halloween and want to do something a bit more creative than just grabbing something from the local iParty. Anyone have some really good ideas? I've received several already, but nothing's hitting the spot yet. Here are some of the suggestions I've gotten already:

Chick Magnet: Dress all in black and glue Peeps all over (Peeps = marshmallow "snacks" shaped & colored like baby chickens, a New England favorite)
Grim Reaper: a standard store-bought costume, but wire up battery-powered red LED's for eyes.
Watch Dealer: a trench coat and all the watches you can find. Bonus is that everyone cringes when you go to open your coat.
Electrocution Victim: spike your hair burn and burn the edges of your clothes. (Bonus: My brother made a static charge builder that'll zap people when you touch 'em)
German Shepard: Dress up like a shepherd (robe, staff) but wear a german flag on your back
Lost Luggage: cut a hole in some luggage so you can get your arms and legs out and then put a sticker on it that says unclaimed
Verizon Guy: Take cell phone. Be annoying.
Someone from the Ministry of Silly Walks: Dress in a suit and walk funny (Im_gumby will get it)

I know this thread's been done in past years, but every year people seem to get more creative...

you could always go in Pimprig colors, nothing wrong with a purple suit and a pimp hat w/feather and a cane

You could always shave your head and go as a well respected religious leader like Mike Tyson

I once saw this suggestion on some other website last year..

Find some old clothes you don't wear anymore, and tape (or glue) crumpled up/ripped paper to them. Voila! White Trash.
