I need costume ideas for Halloween!!
We're handing out candy to kids on Sunday. The other girls have been taking orders from my dictator roommate, decorating the wing. It's gonna be a Halloween wonderland in here. What should I be? Keep in mind I'm plus sized and working on a budget. It needs to be a bit scary. Thanks for your help.

5. now duckie, you don't want to scare them too much
we had a Halloween party one year, where one of my friend's kids was about 4 and one of my pals wore a lion's head as a costume. The poor kid screamed and cried for quite a while, poor guy. He is now about 15 and wasn't scarred for life of anything, though. :)

3. A germ?
make some fake gross colored arms, wear a bodysuit with some tattered rags over it. smear some vaseline over parts of your costume so you look a bit slimy and gross. Put a label on your chest or stomach that people get what you are supposed to be.

Evil Mummies are always good. All you need is some cheap white sheets you don't mind tearing up. It's best if you stain them first. A tub of water with a drop of dye in it works great. Wear fangs and claws to, and makeup around your eyes.

Zombies are always fun. Old wrinkled dirty clothes make up half of this costume. Any thrift store is a great place for stuff to work with. And makeup does the rest. A sack of fake heads and body parts makes a great touch, you know, in case you get hungry later. And of course you're out trying to get some more in case you run out.

The one who hacked up her mother and father. Easy costume. All you need is a "hatchet" and cover yourself in "blood." My friend appeared at a Halloween party w/ this costume. Went over big.

6. Be dead
zombie-like

Old tattered clothes / use flour and cocoa on exposed skin and hair to make it look dry and dirty like you just came out of the ground / black stuff on teeth

Easy and icky!

7. Green face paint, black clothes, maybe pointy ears.
The understated can be quite alarming. :D

9. Don't forget the segway
You have to drive up to each door and fall. Also, you need a gigantic lump on your back, and a flightsuit with a gigantic lump in the crotch.
