Hubby and I are going to a "zombie ball" on Halloween, so zombie costumes will be de rigueur. I'm trying to figure out costumes that will be a little more creative than a typical zombie get up, and right now I'm toying with the idea of doing a zombified version of the people in the American Gothic painting. For some reason, I'm not feeling all that inspired this year though.
Last year we went as Dia de Muertos skeletons - a Mexican bride and a groom version. And the year before we dressed as Rik and Vyvian from The Young Ones. lol
Some other good costumes friends have done from years past that stick out in my mind - The Invisible Man (smoking jacket, bandage over head, fez and wielding goggles), The Headless Horseman (complete with hollowed out styrofoam craft pumpkin head), Norman Bates dressed as his mother and another gal wrapped up in a shower curtain with fake gashes.
And I can't forget my favorite last-minute no-fail costume - Ed Wood! I have a very Ed Woodian white vintage angora sweater that I wear with a vintage pencil skirt, shoes and stockings. Put on a blonde vintage-styled wig, draw on a pencil thin moustache, black out your front teeth and viola - Glen or Glenda!
Can you tell we love Halloween in this neck of the woods?
