Halloween is just around the corner. It gets all of us excited at the thought of trick or treating, gathering up sweets (and fruit, from that one weird neighbour) and staying up all night watching scary movies on a sugar rush. Then we remember how old we actually are, and were supposed to act grown up by either acting responsible and taking our children out trick or treating, or going to some poorly organised party, where we all stare daggers at that one person who made no effort. Its hard to think of a good costume though, isnt it? One that will really stand out amongst all the zombies, and pirates and zombie-pirate hybrids. But what to dress as? We want something original but still recognisable. We need to factor in manoeuvrability, potentially something to dance in, and we need somewhere to keep our keys too. There's just so much to consider. And then theres the cost. Buying a costume, renting one, or do we just make one? (Yes, you should just make one, its the best fun!) So much inspiration is to be had from film and television, so weve collated a few together for you, if youve still not thought of anything. Failing that, just cover yourself in tin foil and pretend to be some kind of robot. Wonder if any of these will be turning up at your door, saying trick or treat?
