Halloween Costumes

[Rachael]

Never be ashamed to show your inner geek!

We have been planning since February to have a Fete Du Macabre at our house this year. We are going as Gomez and Morticia, encouraging our guests to dress as other members of the large Addams clan.

 

[Adele]

I very much doubt I will get the opportunity to do anything for Halloween, but just incase, I have been thinking about what to possibly dress up as...

Not very original, but I was thinking of being Lily Munster.

Our niece and her young man are getting married in a Halloween costume party wedding. We're attending as Nick and Nora Charles. (They're doing Buttercup and Westley from The Princess Bride.)

(Now I have "Lydia the Tattooed Lady" stuck in my head!)

Brilliant idea for a wedding.

A couple of years ago myself, my then BF and two friends went up to London to the 100 Club as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

I was Death! We had long black gowns with hoods and did our make up, some with prosthetics. I even had a rubber sickle. Got a few alarmed looks as we walked from the tube station to the club.... it was great.

Surprise, surprise!!! lol lol
(Must be timesaving ever never have to wonder what to wear.)

Yes, it is--it's also one less load off my mind. Besides, only having two basic colors (all-black being the other) instantly tells you which side of the "split personality" is in charge that day--if you ever see me in the suit, worry...

USURPER!!! I was "Death" long before you... lol (Not as "costume", but as "callsign", even had "Ace of Spades" business-cards made--sorry, just had to give you a little ribbing there .)

Ideas and past costumes...

We have done Gomez and Morticia, it was a blast. I had to make Sr. 1929 a moustache from a scrap of mink. Wish I had pictures!
We have also been the Sheik and Sheba:

I have been Marie Antoinette...that's a different Golden Age:

Here's some more ideas:
The Joads from Grapes of Wrath (perfect for families - and so appropriate for the current times! wear your shabbiest vintage)
Fay Wray and King Kong (1 rented Kong suit + 1 very shredded vintage dress)
The Crash of 29 (dead, rich 1929 people - also appropriate for the week)
FDR and Eleanor

 

[Dixon Cannon]

That's easy - I'm 'Simple Jack' this Halloween! Isn't everybody?!

This will be our 1st year to celebrate with our son Dashiell (19 months old)and we're a bit stumped on family costume ideas with a vintage spin.

 

[DavidVillaJr]

The Shadow! All I'm missing is a ring and a red scarf!

I've got me a silver Shadow ring with a red stone, it's a knockoff of the one from the Alec Baldwin Shadow movie.

I got it from eBay...

Check there, or shoot me a PM, it's a size 9....I think.

Don't forget the baseball cap on backwards. Oh the horror, the horror!!!

 

[Tourbillion]

I was thinking of the Marlene Dietrich gorilla suit from the "Hot Voodoo" scene from Blonde Venus. I could carry the head, and wear fake diamond bracelets.

I just wonder if I need a blond afro wig, or is a plain blond 30's wig ok?

It really needs to be an afro, or where is the savagery?

You could put the kid in a crate with a padlock, and put little hand flippers on him, and dress up as The Penguin's parents... wasn't that Pee Wee Herman playing his dad?

 

[ShesSoVaVaVoom]

I'm off to buy a sewing machine, if I can master some skills before halloween I'd like to dress as cigarette girl.

That's just gratuitous.
