Ideas for my Halloween costume?

Halloween Costume Ideas...?

• So yeah, I'm going trick-or-treating this year at Halloween for the first time in ages and I've kind of grown out of your traditional pumpkin suit or bedsheet-ghost or scream mask, so I need some new costume ideas! I'd quite like it to be a scary character, but a bit more grown up like the grim reaper or something. Also I'd like some ideas of how to make certain details of the costume (if you know how) e.g. how to make the grim reaper's scythe. I know Halloween's nearly a month away, but I'd need to start making my costume early. Thanks in advance for answering! I really appreciate all answers :D Alex W

• Answer:

  If you want to stand out from the crowd you'll likely need to create your own original costume. A great source for homemade costume ideas are Halloween costume contests (there are several websites that have such contest every year).
