By The Book Reviews

Great website; great books.

My little cousin was a head on top of a table. We put a giant board with a cloth and a hole in the middle on his shoulders and added fake blood. He had a hard time getting down the stairs after each house, and nobody was quite sure what he was. It was pretty amusing though.

The best was when I was young a friend of mine was a big old pumpkin made out of chicken wire and tissue paper.

I was a tv with rabbit ears.

My daughter wore my old cowgirl costume, which was originally my mom’s.

Looks interesting!!

Great reviews. The books all sound awesome. The coolest costume I ever wore was of a fairy whose wings moved back and forth. I also had a wand that flickered different colours.

My son was a television set once. He wore a Darkwing Duck tshirt, so that his favorite cartoon would be showing on the “screen,” via the cut out hole.

Books lift me up.

Me too!

I was a devil, with a red cape and mask with horns…but I was only 8 years old.

I went as a table. It was a large box covered with a tablecloth with paper plates and all utensils attached!

I dressed up as Bratz doll.

i was an operation game

When I was in highschool a boy came to school in the following costume. He had placed a cardboard box over his body, with cut out for his head and arms. He had wrapped the box and decorated it with bows. At first my friends and I thought it was really stupid, until we saw the big gift-tag attached to his chest. To:Women From:God. We could not stop laughing the entire class period.

My best friend and I were hospital patients. We found some fake buttocks that went over our pants and our gowns hung open in the back. We got quite a few double takes and interesting comments after getting our candy and leaving.

I’ve made many costumes for my four sons over the years, Alf made with fur material and the mask was dimension from plastic canvas. A coke machine,Pacman, and many others just made from carboard boxes and lots of immagition.

I made a costume of Ron Weasley in his dress robes, due to my extreme resemblance to him. I wore it to the 7th book premiere, too - I was King of the Yule Ball!

It’s a bad picture, but you get the point.

I was a dumptruck for Halloween when I was little.

My niece dressed in a mummy costume from head to toe and it was excellent.

Thanks for the contest!

When I was a teenager I dressed up for halloween by strapping a baby doll to my bottom. When I sat down on the doll it was my costume. I was a babysitter.

Great

The chef and waitress from hell.

A friend had a pair of velvet hot pants from the 70’s. She them with high black boots, black stockings, a red blouse and cat accessories. She was Puss in Boots and looked great.

I was one half of a broken heart and my best friend was the other half!

I made my son a clown costum with orange Halloween print one year it was so cute.

Dee Snider from Twisted Sister.

I won contests as the Queen of Hearts with a giant handmade card back (poster) attached to my back and a full red and white (handmade by me) dress with a sash, heart medals, heart earrings, heart scepter, crown, and a fan of giant cards. I also wore it to my waitress job and the red shoes were killing me!

My daughter dressed as an airplane and the pilot one year and entered a contest at the aquarium near our home. She won first place and later found out that the contest was sponsored by an airline. She happened to use one of that airlines patches on her airplane and was featured in their brochure the next year.

My brother went a Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force

VERY COOL PROMO AND BOOK, GOOD LUK TO ALL!

My cousin and I once went as Salt & Pepper. We dressed up in those huge tubes that kids crawl through for fun. We could hardly walk because they were so tight by the feet we had to waddle house to house!

My son is going to be a garbage man this year. He’s 3 and will wear a shirt that says “Garbage Man” on it. My husband made a wagon into a garbage truck using pieces of cardboard and my son will collect candy in a plastic garbage pail and dump it into the back of the truck.

I would soooo love to win these books and gift card.

i was Benny from Abba

My mom dressed as a “Smarty Pants” one year - she glued packs of Smarties candies to a pair of jeans. It was great!

anything with a vampire chick has to be good

I was an “open book” one year. I dressed up as a book and told all my friends they could ask me any question they wanted to.

Here comes Santa Claus.

I was a jar of jellybeans: I stuck my head and arms through a big huge clear plastic bag and filled it with inflated, colored balloons, tied it tight around my hips. It was cool!

In college, a guy friend dressed up like a girl. He looked so good, that a male friend of ours kept trying to pick him up!!! It was absolutely hilarious.

Enter me, Please! Great Prize!

Thanks for the contest!

Wish me luck

This looks like a great book

Raggedy Ann, my Mom made the outfit herself and the wig. I had such a good time. My mother showed me off to everyone, it was awesome!

Nothing beats dressing up like KISS

hahaha my friend was a “chick magnet”.
He wore this big black outfit, and taped on all these barbie dolls ;D
It was hilarious. And of course he didn’t tell anyone what he was gonna be until he showed up!
My other friend was a bottle of tabasco sauce. It wasn’t that original since he got his mom to buy it for him… but it was sure fun walking around with the “hottest” guy! *cackle*

Go Rocks!!

a hobo, it was more fun making the costume than wearing it

hope i win

One halloween, having no idea what to wear, I borrowed one of my brother’s suits, cut out the face from a political poster to make a mask, topped off the outfit with a hat, and went out as a political candidate. A bonus—it was a nice reminder for people to vote.

My favorite costume this year is two men. One wears a business suit and tap shoes, the other is a police officer with a badge. This is, of course, Senator Craig.

I taped the small cereal boxes all over me, put plastic knives in them and a little fake blood. I was a cereal killer

I am going to be a dark ballerina for Halloween!

I dressed my one year old as Tigger, in Winnie the Pooh, he was just the cutest!!

When I was about 8 my mom spent the whole evening with my step-brother blowing up green balloons to pin on my green bodysuit. She fashioned a hat that looked like the stem of the bunch of grapes. That was a great outfit until all my friends told me that it made it really hard to walk with me thru the halls of the apartments because I took up a lot of room. I think that my mom went for the BIG balloons!
My best friend was purple and I was green and we had fun bouncing off of each other all night!
That was fun!

When I was little, my mom made me a devil outfit. It was bright red, had a devil head that went over my head, complete with horns, and a full body devil suit with a forked tail and clawed feet, and I carried a forked stick painted red to match! It was the greatest costume, and every year she altered it to fit me again because I refused all other costumes. She always said I was her little devil, and I think she meant that in more ways that just on Halloween.

A duck hunter is a great look. Wear a green slicker and have a duck call around your neck.

my dad was a giant hammer one year… (he’s a carpenter)

great site here guys. thanks

My friends once dared me to wear a naughty nurse costume and guess what, I did it, although I was very shy since I’m not the kind of girl who likes to wear sexy clothes, I suppose the boys didn’t complain though.

mY FRIEND WENT AS A PICNIC TABLE. IT WAS CUTE.

Wow!!

Great Contest - thank you!

One year, I was a black cat with a tail and ears.

Someone I know dressed up as Youtube this year. Hilarious

Once, I dressed as a giant walking pumpkin. It was so big I couldnt fit in a car. So I had to walk around to trick-or-treat =)

My friend was dressed as a giant police baton.

One Halloween a boy at my school dressed up as a woman so well that guys were talking about the new hot chick in school.

I was an Oscar Meyer weiner but lost my buns at a party.

A friend of mine was Mugatu (from Zoolander)…even carried around a stuffed dog…it looked great!

Looks interesting!

I was Peg Bundy.

I made a great pirate from the Caribbean, with a perfect coat from Hot Topic.

Last year I was Mrs. PotatoHead. I made a simple sack dress out of brown material. I used felt to make two sets of eys and lips. (These were interchangable with velcro). The nose and ears were attached. I carried a bucket of “spare parts” including various hats and even some real toy parts.

A co-worker dresses up as a zoo-keeper being strangled by a python.

my nephew was a scarry football player. he had a whole football uniform on and a blacked out eye, fake blood on his clothes and face and a nerf football cut in half and stuck on his shirt to look like the foot ball went threw him. it was freaky

many years ago, in the 70’s, we headed out to a halloween party, the one and only time I have every dressed up as a woman, I went as a cleaning woman, now I guess you’d call them a merry maid, but with plunger in one hand and a beer bong in the other!

I was a vending machine, complete with snacks !! We made it out of a huge refrigerator cardboard box and painted it. It was very cool !!

V. nice! Thanks!!

I don’t know if you have ever seen the “Pokemon kid” video, but I dressed up as it last year. I even crossed my eyes in all the pictures!

We lived moderately when I was growing up. And, one Halloween, my little sister became Wonder Woman by putting on white thermal long johns and covering them with her WW Underoos! (Geez, what was our mom thinking to let her out of the house like that?)

My friend was a chinesse takeout box! Awesome idea!

i am a girl and one year i actually turned myself into a hobo!

I built a bathtub out of a box, the old fashioned, claw footed kind. I filled it with small white balloons to look like bubbles and wore it out on the town.

my 12 year old nephew dressed like o women down to the nails, wig, and high heeled shoes. Priceless

I was a banana and my boyfriend was an ape

My friend pulled off a good Steve Erkle a few years ago

We dressed up as Girl Gone Wild with a censored sign and Camera Man with the most pathetic cardboard camera you have ever seen. It was hilarious!

This past Halloween I was Smartie-Pants. I saftey pinned Smarties (the american kind) to my pants.

W

I was Osama.

I dressed up as a knockoff Elvis (with a mask, flashy clothes, but a goatee), and I went to a costume party this year. During a game of musical chairs I could see I wouldn’t get to the last chair in time as this small girl was my competition, so I decided to make my elimination look cool, so I did a slide and had my hands up in the air like a true rocker. The coolest part was that I burned a small hole in my pants from the about 10 foot slide that I pulled off. Plus, I got to have my picture taken with a few lovely ladies.

Lady Godiva-I’m a brunette. Wore a flesh colored bodysuit. Added rubberfake boobs and butt on the outside, wore a floor length blond wig and cut off a little of the hair to put in the proper place. Wore to husbnads work Halloween party. Car salesman loved it.

The best Halloween costume was my friend who dressed up as a banana.
