What is the most creative Halloween costume you've ever seen?

I have several favorites that were relatively low-cost options. One was a hospital gown (open in back, of course) with the person wearing a big plastic butt. Fuzzy slippers made the outfit ;-)

Another was a simple piece of cloth worn like a toga on which hundreds of little fuzzy chicks from a craft store were glued. A sign hung around the neck read: “I’m a chick magnet.”

“Where’s Waldo” is another easy-to-achieve look with a the right sweater, cap and glasses.

Two years ago I was the ghost of Steve Jobs. Black turtleneck, stone washed jeans, white trainers, glasses, carrying a Zune because they only have Microsoft in hell.

It will be impossible to describe this home-made costume to do it justice, but I’ll try. A few years ago at an office Halloween party a co-worker, who the previous year had come in an incredibly elaborate “Mr. Death” outfit that boosted him up to about 7 feet, fashioned something even more original. It was a two-headed Alien-type creature that crawled across the floor like a spider. One masked alien head was guy’s, the other was a movable fake head operated by stick from under the costume and wearing an identical alien mask. Its eyes could move.

The guy walked low to the ground on his haunches and was completely concealed by a gross “skin” covering from under which sprouted several false limbs. I tell you, this thing gave everybody goose bumps, but it won him first prize Best Costume contest – second year in a row.

Nancy Reagan, wow…just wow!

About 10 years ago a friend of my sister’s wore an all black outfit and she pinned a bunch of those small cereal boxes to it and carried a big knife. She was a serial killer. I thought it was hilarious.

Green raincoat, three pairs of panty hose. The guy went as the “Flasher” ! !
He won the prize for best costume for hundred and fifty people, went home with bottle of Scotch. The party was at a nightclub.

These are great! I’ll save them for future Halloweens. This year I’m going to be a blooming idiot. Lots of paper flowers attached to whatever I decide to wear underneath and my face made up with my eyes painted as daisies.

@Sunny2 Cute!! Pics or it never happened. lol

I saw a picture online of a redheaded kid carrying a bag of bread with a sign around his neck saying “Bread Man”.

My boss was just telling us yesterday about when he was in college, he dressed up as his college’s rival university’s homecoming queen. You know, bad wig, fishnet stockings, combat boots, with a ribbon over his chest that said “BYU Homecoming Queen.” Ha-ha!

I saw a little girl tonight covered in balloons. It was hard to see because it was dark and I was driving but she looked adorable. I wonder what she was.

A burlesque staple? Doesn’t seem age appropriate…
