Yeah, these are all cool, but for me, the best thing about Halloween costumes is the idea that it can all be really cheap and cheerful; free and easy. Despite being someone who loves trying on all the best-made Halloween goodies and going crazy with life-like latex scars and what not, despite spending afternoons of trying on endless varieties of the perfect scary mask and despite marvelling over the genius of Jackson’s Thriller video at least once a month, I love the make-shift, home-made costumes much more. Ghosts dressed in white bedsheets always get my vote and tomato ketchup stains to create fake blood are even better. Bring back those mothers who tell us that wearing a bin liner turns you into a witch! Get creative and have some fun! That’s what costumes are all about!?
