Halloween Costume Ideas

When the air turns chilly, the leaves start changing colors, and pumpkins start appearing on doorsteps you know it is time to start thinking of Halloween costume ideas. If you are anything like me my creative juices start to flow and I will not settle for a mediocre costume. A ghost, a pumpkin, a  witch, a clown, etc... are too plain to compete with trick-or-treater/party-goers of Utah. Over the past several years I have stretched my imagination to find unique costume ideas every October. The following are a few that I would like to share to start those creative juices flowing for this year. Enjoy.

My recent Halloween Costume ideas-

Above is my interpretation of "Farmville". This was a few years back when the social media game was a big hit. We borrowed the overalls, suspenders and hoe from my father and only had to purchase the $20 cow costume for my son and $3 "Billy Bob teeth" from Wal Mart.

Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head was a hit. My wonderfully talented wife sewed these up from fabric bought at Joann's and each accessory was attached by Velcro so we could rearrange the parts.

Zombies. Easy. And a classic Halloween costume idea. We just took some old clothes, tore holes, applied some read paint and literally ran them over a few times with my car.

Fire and Firefighter. One of my all-time favorites. I bought a full body black suit from china and glued pieces of red/orange/yellow fabric on as fire.

Scuba divers. borrowed my brothers scuba gear. Done.

Mafia. Just dress up nice and have a New England accent. Done.

Basketball hoop and player. Another one of my more creative ideas. $20 worth of supplies at Home Depot and Wal Mart got me Plexiglas, shoulder straps, a net, and a shirt. Wasn't too hard to put together either.
