Have a funny Halloween this year.
Halloween is the one night of the year when even adults can act up, and dress up, as scary, strange or just plain silly as they want. Whether you are taking the kids trick-or-treating or heading out for a night on the town, make yourself stand out from the crowd this year by dressing up in a funny costume.
Medical Experiment
Keep all the other guests at your Halloween party laughing by dressing up as someone who has donated his or her brain to science. Begin by wearing a hospital gown or doctor's scrubs. If you cannot find either of these outfits, wear any pajamas that you have in your bedroom. With an eyeliner pencil, draw a dotted line from one end of your forehead to the other, just as a doctor would when he marks where to cut before surgery. Paint your face white to appear as though you were dead, and wrap your entire head in gauze that has been splattered with fake blood. As a finishing touch, clean out a large glass jar, fill it half full of water, and place a fake brain inside; it can be purchased at a Halloween specialty store. Carry the jar around with you, and tell everyone in your best zombie voice that you have donated your brain to science this year.
Bloody Fairy Tale
This costume can work for any fairy-tale character that could have, or has met, a bloody, unfortunate ending, including Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel or Rapunzel. For instance, Rapunzel could have had her hair ripped out of her head and her neck broken by her handsome prince when he attempted to climb her hair to rescue her for the tall tower. To achieve this look, cut the hair of a wig very short and unevenly, and cover it with fake blood. Wear a brace around your neck and a beautiful princess gown that is covered with blood. Hansel and/or Gretel could head to the party covered in soot, wearing outfits that have been singed in the oven of the evil witch.
Couples Costumes
When heading out with your significant other, go for a suggestive look to your costume. The idea is to be naughty without being overtly disgusting. For instance, you could go dressed as a socket and an outlet, a piece of celery and a bowl of dip or a hot dog and a bun. If you are dressing up to go trick-or-treating with your kids, keep the costume clean by dressing as traditional clowns, or step out as your kids' favorite cartoon adversaries, from Dora and Swiper to Tom and Jerry, and play-fight for all the other kids.
