This year, I ordered a generic witch costume. I figured it goes with the Harry Potter theme which they are doing at our local musuem that I help out at. So I wanted to be in theme a bit. I ordered it on Friday, it should be here soon!!! WHOO HOOO!!

My husband will be Jack Skellington yet again this year. He loves that costume and so do I! It's one of the few I have ever gotten him to wear!

So what are you going as this year?

I'm gonna make a White Mage cloak from Final Fantasy, to go with my video game theme. I should get started on that sometime...

I will be Nosferatu this year. Shock!

I considered the use of prosthetics for ears and false teeth etc but the sticking point was shaving my head. When my daughter was 18 months old, I had my hair clippered really short and she didn't like it. In fact, it scared her so much that I had to wear a hat on my head for a few weeks until it had grown to an acceptable length.

Unfortunately, explaining to clients why I suddenly have a bald head would also be far too much hassle. Most would think it was due to illness. If I were to explain that I had shaved it for Halloween, they would change their minds and have me as mentally ill instead. Therefore, I have invested in a decent latex mask which is due in about ten days. The jacket I am still trying to source.

plenty of goth clothing sites nos!

[paddy_babe]

I'll be dressing up as a vampire or sexy witch... havent decided yet.
(I was tempted to wear a short top and paint a pumpkin on my 'bump' its big enough lol!)

[nosferatu]

My mask arrived today. It works even in broad daylight. My wife and daughter had gone out when they came back through the door, I jumped out to say hello! So many screams and its not even Halloween.

[GUS]

Nos have you got a dummy for the mask? ..(that is so tempting)
..but i'll behave, to help keep the shape of the mask when not being worn?

if it's a wee bit baggy & droopy in places wev'e stuffed ours out with cotton wool in things like horn / ear hollows, etc..

ideally though you could do with a styrene foam mannequin head for long term storage.

[nosferatu]

Yeah, thanks for the advice. It does say to keep it stuffed to keep the shape etc and the dummy might not be a bad idea. On the hunt, for long, extended fingers / fingernails now

[GUS]

a balloon will do for now, balanced on a bowl / jar type thing...

plenty of good cheap creepy hands available, let me know if you can't find any good ones & i'll trawl & link later..

In case you missed it, here is my costume this year!

[nosferatu]

Love the necklace and the costume looks incredibly well made.

Is that a funkin to carve or has it already been carved?

[Kittie]

The costume is very well made. I paid $45 for it, and I am glad I did. It was well worth it!

Yes that is an uncarved Funkin! I just bought it two days ago hehe. Not sure what to put on it yet. . .
