Halloween Costumes

Scoops

Hi, so I have a fancy dress halloween party coming up at the end of the month (oddly enough) and I'm looking for ideas for a halloween costume. Whats the best halloween costume you've ever seen or even just thought up and haven't seen?

Off the top of my head you could try.......

a mime, a computer mouse, an atom, a smiley of your choice, a stop sign, an exit sign, a traffic cone, a hot air baloon, a pizza, some kos lettuce, a pyramid of ferrero rocher, a full irish breakfast........

there's countless ideas really, I think people appreciate something that's totally random and unexpected and just weird. Hope that helps a bit anyway.

That sounds good.
"Hi there, I'm a mime"
"I thought mimes didn't talk"
"I'm not talking. I'm using a system of complex hand gestures to make you think I am"
"Holy crap! That's amazing."

Dye your hair blue, grab a friend to do it too, and you can be Thing 1 and Thing 2 (Dr Seuss ... don't ya love the rhymes? hehe)

Strap a sliced pan to your chest and another to your back, go as a sandwich. Also handy if you get peckish.

Went as a nun last year, pound shops do cheap costumes and got it there. Was thinking of an Andy and Lou combo with my gf... where to aquire a wheelchair though...

I was talking to Jaggeh about this he was looking for suggestions, I suggested a ginat rollerblade a la dougal in father ted. He wasnt impressed. I thought it would have been hilarious.

Myself, me and 5 of the other girls are going as mollies or girly gangsetrs with suspenders,trilbeys and tommy guns

When you cross the bridge from the village heading towards Laraghcon, just take the right turn towards the Strawberry Beds and its in one of the little industrial estates on the right.

Or at least it was, this time last year.

One of the best one's I've seen is a guy dressed as Angus Young from AC/DC. Complete with a Gibson SG.
