HALLOWEEN COSTUMES
Last Minute Halloween Costume Ideas
Scarecrow
A scarecrow costume is easy to make! Just dress your child in some
old denim jeans, preferably dark blue ones with a variety of
patches. Add a flannel shirt and stick some straw up into the arm
and leg cuffs with a little sticking out for effect. You may want to
use a long sleeved undershirt under the flannel and attach the straw
to the undershirt with fabric clue. For makeup, go for rosy cheeks
and faux freckles.
Ghost
A ghost costume is probably one of the most classic and easiest
Halloween costumes out there. For a traditional ghost, use a sheet
with holes cut out for the eyes, nose and mouth. For a girl ghost,
you can even put makeup on the face of the sheet! Or, you can try a
different look and dress up in all white clothing, with white face
makeup and temporary white spray dye for hair.
Hobo
A hobo is another easy Halloween costume you can make with clothing
you have on hand, or clothing you find at a secondhand store. Try
jeans or pants with patches and holes, a flannel shirt with holes or
rips, and of course, dirty looking makeup! Try charcoal or black
eyeshadow to create a scruffy beard, or use smears of brown
eyeshadow to create the illusion of dirt. To top it all off, try an
old, tattered hat! You can even hang a cardboard sign around you or
your child's neck (whoever is the hobo) that says something like,
“Will beg for food.”

HALLOWEEN DECORATING
Frightfully Fun Halloween D?cor Ideas
Modern Halloween decorations have gone far beyond cardboard
skeletons and hand-carved jack-o’-lanterns. Now there’s something
for every boy and ghoul -- from the serious collector to the
casually creepy -- to fit in virtually every budget. Cheesy, campy,
frolicsome or downright bone-chilling, whatever your Halloween
decorating style, Boyd and her cohorts at www.ThingsYouNeverKnew.com
offer some ideas for decorations sure to set just the right mood
this All Hallows’ Eve:
* “Keep your audience in mind,” Boyd advises. “When choosing
decorations for kids, remember that your goal is for that initial
squeal of surprise to be followed by giggles and laughter. A nice
jar of Bubbling Eyeballs, a Coffin Fogger, or Haunted Shaking
Chandelier can do the trick.”
If you’re expecting teens or adults to be haunting your abode this
Halloween, you can amp up the fear factor with some gruesome masks
or the ever-popular Headless Corpse (equally affective on your
coffee table as on your front lawn), Bloody Baby, or Twitching
Cleavered Head.
* “You don’t have to murder your budget just to scare the life out
of someone,” says Boyd. Consider adding small, inexpensive items,
like a string of shrunken heads, vinyl replicas of human organs that
pulse with multi-colored light, or even a bleeding human skull
candle to your Halloween d?cor. All can be had for less than $10 an
item.
* To inspire screams -- and a sheer adrenaline rush -- nothing beats
action or sound by an object one thought was inanimate. Decorations
like the Life-Size Glowing Mummy are doubly diabolic. The victim
knows the mummy is supposed to be a spirited decoration, but doesn’t
expect the 6-foot-tall figure to groan and glow when approached.
A motion activated ghoul, called a Spazm, can have the same effect.
As a visitor approaches, the seated, shackled figure begins
quivering and panting. Definitely at the higher end of the spectrum,
and probably most appealing to serious collectors, the mummy sells
for $169.98 at www.thingsyouneverknew.com, while the Spazm is
available for $179.98. A set of motion- and sound-activated
Possessed Books could do the trick at $24.98.
