Halloween is all about the costumes. They can be funny, interesting, or meant to scare. They range from traditional ghosts and witches… to superheroes and princesses… to the latest famous/infamous celebrity… to whatever teens have in their closets that will take them door-to-door and get the candy in the bag. But, they are all worn in fun!

Costumes allow us to be someone else for a night. It is a once-a-year chance to completely transform and let ourselves loose into a world of alter-egos — to hob-knob with the hobgoblins.  So get inspired by what others have created and let your imagination run wild. If you have a great costume or a story to tell, go ahead and post it so we will all know what you did last Halloween

Borderland’s Lilith

For all you gaming fans. (Delete the rest of the caption — it’s creepy)

This never fails to crack me up!

Wow this is a simple but elegant way to create a stunning costume with things you have in your closet.  You just have to find a terrific artist.  Photo form http://suicideblonde.tumblr.com

I asked my wife if she could do the same paint job, this guy has, on me for Halloween this year.  Her reply was “I good but I am not that good.”  I am not sure if she was talking about the painting or the canvas she has to work with.  Photo from Imgur http://imgur.com/Ces1p

It sure is amazing what you can do with a black body suit and duck tape.  I love to see a family dress up together.  I again found this picture on imgur

I love this costume and I have seen it on a few a ton of websites.  This costume is amazing in the way she ties all of the FX elements together with a great period gown.  http://www.nicolemagne.com

By far the best Nightmare Before Christmas costumes I have seen.  It make me want to pull out my copy and watch it to get into the Halloween mood.  This picture comes to us from http://www.absolutfrancia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/disney.JPG

I saw this on Imgur and  I am hoping this is going to be a movie some day.  The Haunted Mansion II.  Talk about so guy’s you wouldn’t mind being dead with.  I did some searching and it looks like the was done by  Annie Leibovitz for Disney

Now that’s thinking out of the box.  Leave it up to kids to come up with a very original costume and from the looks of it not to hard for mom and dad to throw together.  http://i.imgur.com/Ia1MZ.jpg

Here is another example of an easy costume if you have an artist in the family.  I would say a very good rendition of Beauty and the Beast.  This photo was from Makeupdrama

This picture if for all of you art fans out there.  We have Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe, a Picasso and a Lichtenstein.  This picture came from imgur. http://imgur.com/etPol

What can I say Jessica Rabbit is always a show stopper.  A wonderful picture and a wonderful costume for Halloween.  Photo from imgur http://imgur.com/4UBvC  Looks like the photographer was Jeffrey Rease.
