Clark Kent – Superman  What you’ll need – suit with a white dress shirt (preferably), a superman t-shirt, thick rimmed glasses.  Be sure to expose your superman suit at the right moment! Little Miss Muffet What you’ll need – a cute dress, an apron, make-up and a wig (if you like) and of certainly a spider friend. Zombie What you’ll need – a ton of make-up is absolutely needed to make this costume work well.  We’re talking fake skin, fillers and fake blood.  Add some old clothes that you don’t mind mucking up and you’re set!   Skull  What you’ll need – white face paint with some black make up should do the trick.  Add some colour if you like, but keeping the contrast here really makes the look ‘pop’.  Adding a scary accessory to your hair finishes this costume up perfectly. And a few couples costumes! Jack and Jill What you’ll need -for Jack you’ll need a bloody head wrap made of some bandage material, a plaid shirt and some white bib overalls.  White will show the dirt and fake blood better since Jack has a fall and ‘breaks his crown’.  For Jill a white apron to show that she went “tumbling after”, some piggy tails and a tin bucket as a prop. Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf What you’ll need – the Big Bad Wolf will need some make up and some fake teeth, an outfit can simply be a dark coloured dress shirt and pants.  Little Red needs her signature red cloak and if you really want to have fun with it, using make-up and a contact lens to achieve a scratch from the Big Bad Wolf makes for an awesome twist on this couples costume. There you have it!  Some pretty awesome costumes that are fairly simple, yet very impressive!  A special thank you to my friend Sarah for sharing her costume ideas and And Then Home’s ever creative Victoria and husband M!
