My daughter is dressing up as a Cinder Witch… cross between cinderella and a witch, in the hunt for finding her a costume that fits her I havent looked for anything for myself.

I guess I am going to have to hit the shops tomorrow or wednesday to find something a we bit spooky!
I’m going to be dressing up as the most scariest thing I can think of… my mum when she’s angry! It will either scare the bejesus outta you or make you collapse in sticthes from laughing!
I love Halloween! The kids are dressing up as Ghosts and I’m dressing up as a Ghostbuster. We are having an 80s themed Halloween party. We are making ghosts targets, bt using cardboard and spreading them around the garden. We are then getting loads of dart/ nerf guns and having a shoot the ghost contest.
I don’t care if I look silly. Haloween is an ideal time to dress up and be peter/ patricia pan even if it is just for one night!

My girlfriend is dressing up as one of the witches in the opening scene in Macbeth. Scarier than one of Pendle witches surely?

And for myself, the corpse bride. I’ve managed to pick up a second hand wedding dress from a local charity shop, it had the veil with it too, i’ve used fake blood here and there and muddied it up a bit snd it looks fab. just need the perfect scary makeup now to go with it. i’ve a feeling my kids won’t think too much of this one, they’ll just think I got dirty doing the garden, lol.
Im dressing up as a lunatic because its the only time of the year I can actually be how my family and friends think I am !
Dracula! getting a little old for this now fangs aint wot they used to be
I’m going as Edward Scissorhands – but obviously not with real scissors/metal blades but substituted with metal kitchen utensils like a spatula and potato masher etc. Can’t wait..
im going as a ghost, with a long floaty dress and deep purple eyes! im also covering all exposed skin with white face paint which could go terribly wrong, but hey, you have to commit right? im going to practice ‘floaty’ walking to have the full effect!
Maggie thatcher
Harlequin! best batman character ever!

🙁 I haven’t got a party to go to this year. My kids have a few though 🙂
It’s homemade all the way for us this year! My daughter is going as Cruella de Ville!

The job for today is making a big chunky chain out of cardboard and silver spray paint; it’s all fun!

my daughter will be dressing up as medusa this year. I have attached some pipe cleaners to a headband and i will wrap her hair around them so it stands on end and then spray it witgh green hair spray, we have made some snake heads to attach to the ends. Her main outfit will be a simple long green adult size t shirt that i will fray aroun the bottom. She has green tights anf black shoes. She has a belt that we have decorated with a plastic snake. She will definately not look like just another witch!
Having a party and we are all dressing up as the Addams family, costumes and decorations ready to be done, so looking forward to it, I’m probably more excited than the kids. Fingers crossed this would finish party off brilliantly.

I was thinking of doing a Lady GaGa meat dress as apparently that’s all the rage this halloween, but I didn’t think they would stock enough bacon in tesco to cover me up so I’ve decided to go as a pumpkin instead!
Me and my partner are dressing up as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. As we are going to a party with children we don’t want to scare anyone too much, so we thought we would go as the Tweedles so we can be silly for the night.
Being pregnant – a pumpkin seems like the best idea this year 🙂
I am thinking of dressing up as a blow up doll (achieved by cutting the valve off of a beach ball or a swimming arm-band and attaching it to the back of my hand). The thought of me parading around in my underwear with a valve attached to my hand would undoubtedly leave everyone at the party feeling pretty horrified! LOL!!
I am going to dress up as freddie Kruger. Im going to use gelatine that will set on the face and look like burns , and paint blood in the creases!

I dress like Elvira the rest of the year, so for Halloween I’m going as a Fawn (cloven hoofed fantasy creature).. I have the antlers sorted, hand made and ready to be stuck with spirit gum, as well as the pointed ears and the furry hoof-legs… just got to figure out what to do with the top half as I don’t think I have seen any fawns with boobies!

I am dressing up as a ‘Headless Man’.
I am wearing an extra large collarless shirt, the collar stuffed with paper painted blood red. A wire coat hanger placed side ways with a sponge for my head will hold the shirt out. Four paper doilies folded and sewn in a horizontal line from the collar to give the impression of frills.Tears made in the shirt behind the frills to enable me to see,splattered with fake blood to futher disguise the holes. The underarms have had to be cut to give me room but I can still fasten the cuffs. Worn with black trousers, black boots and carrying my head which I have made out of paper mache with a fake wig.
I shall just be myself and open the door and dish out lots of your lovely sweets, to all those kids that come calling.

We have been working all week on my daughters Halloween Costume, as it is half term. She is mad on spongebob square pants, and refused to be a witch or a cat, instead, she is Spongebad! We have decorated a large square box, painted it yellow and cut out holes, like a sponge. Spongebad has nasty sharp teeth dripping with blood and some bolts through his holes, and horrible wart on his nose. Scary, but its kept her amused all week.
