What Would You Wear In Halloween Or Do You Have Any Good Ideas I Have Mine.i Just Want To Know If

What are some good ideas for a high school Halloween dance?

In Strangers with Candy: Reverse trick-or-treating in Silicon Valley, I wrote about a fun tradition I invented last Halloween. One of my favorite parts of the experience was the animatronics I saw in my neighborhood:One of the coolest things was that there was a mentor in the neighborhood who’d helped a bunch of the kids make their own. If I were organizing a high school Halloween dance, I’d incorporate some kind of animatronics contest or display.And obviously, guests should enter the party through some kind of graveyard or haunted house.And maybe offer Thriller lessons prior to the dance? It worked in 13 Going on 30…

What costume should I wear for Halloween?

Thank you for the A2ACostume request details: Appropriate for a 12–14 year old girl. Not the usual costumes (e.g.: witch, ghost, etc.). Can be DIY.After mulling this question over a bit, I decided to provide you with some brainstorming suggestions. So, these are not costume ideas, in and of themselves, these are some examples of costume types that I would have LOVED to play with back when I was a tween-thru-20-something.Just Make UpThere are some amazing make up trends going around that can be used with regular street clothes or whatever fun things you manage to find at a discount store. Halloween is an opportunity to take ‘glam’ or ‘diva’ or ‘party’ to the ultimate extreme without having to explain anything to anyone. It’s also a time when you can play with special effects makeup and see how it feels to wear it for a few hours. (side note: I have several Pinterest boards with loads of amazing things people have done: makeup, costuming, Halloween is the Best!)

What is a good last-minute Halloween costume that can be constructed from commonly available items?

All black clothes plus white-and-black makeup = a mime. Use an interesting hat and/or white gloves if you've got them. It's not anything in particular (goth or vampire maybe) but you can look pretty creepy with those same all black clothes plus black lipstick, heavy eyeliner, perhaps a bit of red lipstick around the eyes, and a foundation color a couple shades too light. No blush. To make it a proper vampire, add a cape.Any combination of rain suit, safety gear, tools, construction gear, etc. can pass for a construction worker.Pajamas, bathrobe, slippers, coffee cup, newspaper. Towel turban in the hair and mud mask if you want it to look even more outlandish.A (mad) scientist should be pretty easy to do. Dress shirt, perhaps, bow tie, slovenly hair, clipboard, safety glasses, etc.If you participate in any sports, ride a bike, etc., use your usual gear as a costume.Dig around in your wardrobe for the loudest, brightest colors, anything that doesn't match. Combine with some face paint and (as available) wig, silly hat, or what-have-you for a clown suit.Hippies are pretty easy. If you have a tie-dye shirt, wear it and let your hair down. Add a headband, suitable sunglasses, etc.Recruit a friend or two, clip a rope to your shoulders with clothespins, and go as a clothesline. Stick a few socks and undies on the cord in between.Use a large enough cardboard box and any gift wrap (seasonal or not) to go as a wrapped gift.Or wear all black and safety-pin a bunch of assorted socks to yourself and go as the odd sock monster, that annoying creature that "eats" one sock out of every pair that goes into the dryer.

What costume are you going to wear for Halloween?

I used to go all-out and make my own costume from a sewing pattern, maybe add a little beadwork, maybe some high-quality fake fur (handsewn without a pattern), definitely some good satin involved, the wool cloak that time; the brown Jedi cloak the other time…studying my model to create the perfect portrayal… there was the year of 90s cartoon Harley Quinn, the year of the full body covering werewolf suit… to name a couple of the greats.But I don’t have many local friends. After being promised, absolutely promised, that my then-bestie and I would do something the following year if I dressed up, and wore the blue wig with the cat ears, I diligently came up with a VERY nice costume. It was good. Only to call up my friend, who I’d just seen the week, perhaps even days, before - and she definitely knew I was working on a costume! - and have her say “Oh, I’m across the country at a wedding; Remember, I said the week of November 1st?” It Was Not. November. November 1st didn’t even start the week. But she had a habit of doing that: refusing to be clear, utterly flaking, making it your fault for failing to pin her down on her incredibly squirrelly attempts to ‘give you notice’ something long-planned was going to be canceled, without Actually telling you, because then you might be mad? Yeah.All this is to tell you that I used to ADORE dressing up. Any excuse to wear a well-made costume! Any excuse to MAKE a detailed well-made costume. I have a pantry-closet filled with 3 walls of former costumes. Yeah. I’m That into it.But like I said: none of my good friends live locally.So! Unable to entirely give up dressing up, but also realizing going all-out for the benefit of 8 trick-or-treaters was exceptionally depressing, I last year bought a Think Geek Starfleet Uniform, TNG, Command Red Hoodie. I bought gold-colored pips and a very good communicator, rumored to be made from the same molds used on the series! With black pants, and a forgivingly casual measurement, this easy costume should last me the next decade!So that’s what I’ll be wearing. I’m going to be a Starfleet Commander. (I have the pips to be Captain, but why be greedy?)

Is it ok to not wear a costume to a Halloween party?

The way you wrote your question, I hate to say it, but it comes across as a bit pretentious- deriding Halloween parties for being overdone? Costumes are an accepted part of the holiday, as much as trees are with Christmas or eggs with Easter. As others have pointed out, there are costumes you can put together with things around your house. You don't have to buy an expensive costume or build a masterwork worthy of walking the stage at dragoncon. Even something simple will do. If you don't want to make an effort at all or are opposed to costumes because you think they're cliche or overdone, then I'd suggest skipping the party. If you're attwnd any themed party, then at least make an effort at the theme.
