5. I love Halloween & have had dozens of great costumes over the years

but the one that has gotten the most attention is my Sam I Am costume. It's bit much, carrying around a plate of green eggs & ham, but when I went out bar hopping with a friend one Halloween, people bought me drinks all night long.

[debm55]

7. Thank you very much, CrispyQ, My son loved that book.

[ExciteBike66]

10. A carrot and a beer keg.

The beer keg was bought, but the carrot was an orange sweat suit, my hair dyed green and a small rabbit with a clip to hold it on and a sign that said: What's up doc?

[debm55]

13. Thank you nocoindences, Love the carrot idea. Very creative.

[Bmoboy]

And, of course, a ratty red wig.

[debm55]

14. hahahaha. Thank you Bmoboy. Great idea.

15. Batman!

As a kid, Mom knew for several years in a row to get me the Batman costume that came in the box with the plastic window that showed the mask.

Once in high school, college, and grad school, I was the Invisible Man - trench coat, gloves, and a bed sheet torn into strips to be used as bandages to wrap around my head, and then sunglasses. Believe it or not - extremely scary costume. Very uncanny valley, and it was s blank slate that you could foist your fears off on. I won a costume contest all 3 years.

[debm55]

18. Great idea. Very creative. thank you TialocW.

[Easterncedar]

16. My last one: a fallen angel

I was 11. I had broken an ankle and had a full leg cast and crutches. My mother suggested the costume and helped me make wings to wear over a long white robe.

I didn’t get the reference, really, but it was fun!

[debm55]

19. Thank you Eastercedar. That was a very creative idea.

[Easterncedar]

17. My pal the geologist's wife made punk rock costumes

Hilarious

[debm55]

20. Thank you Easterncedar. Did you go as a group?

[Enter stage left]

21. Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean...rubber face & a raggedy cloak with a sword...

It even startled the parents of the kids at the door.

[debm55]

22. Thank you Enter stage left. very creative and scary

[surrealAmerican]

23. I was almost always a black cat.

As a child, I mostly just wanted something without a mask, that I could move freely in.

[debm55]

31. Thank you surrealAmerican. Those masks were sweaty. It was the thing back then, so we put up with it.

[Niagara]

24. So many costumes choices to choose from....

As a young trick or treater:

My grandmother made me a black cat costume with a tail, ears and paws. The paws on my feet were stirrups that went over my shoes. The paws on my hands could open up so that I could use my hands.


As an adult:

My favorite costumes that I wore was both a scarecrow and Regina George from Mean Girls.


🎃

[debm55]

32. Great choices, Niagara. Do you dress up now to give candy out?

[Niagara]

42. Thank you, Debbie. I do dress up to pass out candy

Last year I was Red Riding Hood.


This year, I haven't decided between a devil costume or the fortune teller costume.

🎃

[debm55]

34. Thank you Lochloosa. A hobo makes a great and easy costume.

[macwriter]

27. fAVORITE COSTUME in 2016

in 2016, I dressed up as a cocktail waitress with tray of drinks and called myself Hillary's Server

So looking forward to her winning that year. A few days later I was crushed when she lost.

[debm55]

35. So was I , So was I. Thank you macwriter. Your costume sounds great. Love Hilary.

[Lunabell]

28. My favorite was my bestie and I made Egyptian princess costumes.

With crowns out of tinfoil and the togas were from our mom's white sheets which we neglected to ask for. Luckily, they never found out or Halloween would've been canceled that year, lol.

[debm55]

36. Thank you Lunabell. You and your bestie sound like you made great Egyptian princesses.

[Mad_Dem_X]

29. My dad once made me an Oscar The Grouch costume

complete with cardboard "trash can." I took part in a local Halloween parade, and won a prize. I also got my picture on the front page of the local paper. That was my favorite costume by far, because my dad had made it for me.

[debm55]

37. Thank you Mad_Dem_X. That sounds terrific. He made it for you because he loved you.

[OldBaldy1701E]

30. I took a cardboard, glow-in-the-dark skeleton door decoration.

I wore all back and I took rubber bands and tape and attached the thing to me. It wasn't all that much when I was in the light, but once it got charged and I walked into the dark, it looked awesome!

[debm55]

38. Wow, very creative. I like. Thank you OldBaldy1701E

[Aristus]

39. Luke Skywalker, Halloween, 1978.

The year before, the First Year Of Star Wars, I wore a C-3PO costume bought from the store. My brother was R2-D2. His costume was made from a plastic trash can; my Dad made it.

In 1978, I was Luke Skywalker. I wore a pair of light tan jeans, and an off-white sweater belonging to my sister. Luke's desert boots were just carpet slippers and ACE wrap bandages around the ankles and calfs.

I wielded a stormtrooper blaster that I got from a toy store that sold Star Wars merch.

The hair was real. Back then, every guy on the block wanted Luke Skywalker's 70's-Era disco shag haircut. That did not go over well with our military fathers.

[debm55]

45. What a great post. Luke Skywalker was a looker. Your costume was very creative. Thank you Aristus.

[Luciferous]

40. My grandma used to make all of our

costumes so we had some amazing ones. I would say Snow White, figure skater, and Little Bo Peep, complete with hoop skirt. She even made my brother a paper mache head one year so he could go as a man carrying his own head around 😂

[debm55]

44. WOW. Luciferous that is terrific. So creative. Thank you.

[ProfessorGAC]

41. When I Was 9 or 10...

...my mom made me an Arabian shiek costume.
I really liked that one!

[debm55]

43. That sounds great, thank you ProfessorGAC
