Get hold of a good looking suite, perhaps from your local market. It needs to be very dress, if you can get tails so much the better. Paint your fingernails with black polish.Buy some artificial vines and wrap them around your sleeves and fix them in place.
Now for the head piece.You are going to have to find a pumpkin that is bigger than your head. Cut it across the base and scoop out the fruit.Cut an opening for your face. To protect any of the inner wetness from touching your face, insert 2 thicknesses of brown paper and line them with tin foil.
What you need to do is continually adjust until you get the fit right.
Finally you should add make up to create and enhance an evil look.

The real art of being a pirate is to be able to be a cowardly, greedy and deceptive!!
As a reader of this website you are of course a very nice law abiding person and would never contemplate any of these things. But if you are thinking of pushing your boundaries here are a few things you might think about
Firstly create your own pirate jolly roger. Something with a skull and crossbones or even a design more gruesome than that. Just like you were creating a logo for your business. They were in business after all. Now apply this design to all your hats flags and badges.
Make a hat from 2 cards . Firstly draw an outline of a pirates hat on them. Then cut out the shape. You can use staples to fix the 2 sheets together. Finish off the hat by painting or drawing pirate designs and also glue on some feathers and buttons etc.
Any eye patch can be made by cutting out a circle on black paper or soft card. The fold it in 2 so you have a semicircle 2 layers thick. Under the flap add your elastication .
If you are feeling particularly intent, you can now go on to create pirate ship. The idea here is you would step inside it and carry it around your waist. So start by getting a box that is just big enough tot steep inside. .
Cut a hole in the base of it. Add string to each edge of the box so you can slip them over your shoulders.
On the outside of the box apply fake cannon guns by colouring toilet tube in black and sticking them on the outside of your box.
Add a little jolly rodger flag at the back of you ship , and you are ready to go

As a parent you will know what it is like with your kids getting all excited about Halloween which is coming up soon. My way with my kids is just to let them dress up as the characters of their choice rather than me telling them what they are going to be. So my son has again chosen Star wars and my daughter a disney princess. Maybe you have heard of Lava Girl from the movie Shark boy. The trouble is I can’t find a Lava Girl costume anywhere. Except if I want to pay well over $100.
Anyway to help give you ideas I have formed a list of 5 different outfits for girls that are not run of the mill.
- Lava Girl . She has the power and strength to help all mankind. This one is going to require you to make the costume yourself, based on researching images on the internet.
- Anne of Green Gables. So here my idea is to seek characters from the world of literature. Again You dont necessarily find them in ordinary costumes shops, but can you images how much this costume could stand out at a party? You have them images from various dramatisations on t.v. All you have to do is put some pieces together to form the outfit.
- Hermione Grainger from Harry Potter– This one is more commercial because of the longevity of the film series. The outfit is stocked at Target and your local costume shop. Your daughter can become a smart witch for Halloween.
- Pirate costume–A forgotten character here is Elisabeth Swann from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. You could swap in a strong Pirate girl costume for the role. Or borrow from history and make your pirate Anne Bonny , a very real tough , female pirate from long ago.What a pleasant change to have a well known female pirate as opposed to Jack sparrow, who we never stop hearing about or seeing.
- Princess Leia of Star Wars – If your child is into Star Wars, take it on board fully. She could become a Jedi if she wants to.
Superhero – Perhaps it is time to revisit the characters we grew up with as kids ourselves. So lets leave the princesses behind for a moment and pick up these old comic books. You will remember Batwoman, Superwoman and Wonderwoman. Great characters from the past.
