Another costume I did this year was Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street part one. To start I got a brown Indiana Jones fedora, then I weathered it up using a knife, sandpaper, and acrylic paints to make look more like the movie one. I then got a sweater and also weathered it … Read more
This year I decided to go as Pinhead from Hellraiser. I started with a base robe costume and modified it a lot to achieve a more form fitting look. I used a silicone mask with real nails that were punned in a head form, and then siliconed in. I then added Velcro to make the costume … Read more
It was the evening of October 12th. As usual, my three buddies and I were discussing potential costume ideas for upcoming area parties and contests. See, we love Halloween. We take this holiday very serious. It is the one time of year when you can be anything you want. However, whatever we do, we want to make sure we’re the … Read more
Prologue Once upon a time in a land far far away, Monroe, North Carolina, there lived a 5 year old boy, Ryden Nievaard. One day Ryden’s mommy, Christine Nievaard, asked a very innocent question. “What do you want to be for Halloween”? Sure that Ryden would say he wanted to wear his Buzz Lightyear costume … Read more
What DO you call a group of unicorns? A blessing, of course! And THAT, is our Halloween costume. We are a blessing…boy are we a blessing. In the back is daddy-corn, who works really hard so that mommy-corn can be home with the baby-corns (who are dressed up as a ballerina-corn and Ninja-corn). We can’t forget … Read more

I went for a hovercraft that is supposed to be powered by Tesla Technology. The craft features lights and sound to help … Read more
My costume this year started out as the Governor of the town of Woodbury from the Walking Dead. But several months ago I got the idea to do a Grim Reaper. I didn’t want to do one on stilts like I saw all over the web, I wanted to make one with proportionate body parts. … Read more
My daughter looks identical to Boo from Monsters Inc. I’m always hearing from everyone she look just like her especially with her pig tales. This year I had 3 choices and wasn’t planning on making them. It was between Little Mermaid, Alice In Wonderland or Boo, all of which me and her dad would have … Read more
This was done a number of years ago. We were inspired by the bad girls of Hollywood. We decided to have KFED and make a rap for him to perform. We made the cars for each of the girls. Britney, Paris and Lindsey each had their drama so real easy to make a rap about … Read more
Aleidian here is quite an adorable monster indeed. Always well-received, it’s nice when people run up and ask for hugs and tell you how cute you are. This character is very fun to dress up as and act out, by being affectionate, lively, and of course, adorable. This costume mask features “follow-me” foam eyes, plastic … Read more
This was the best Halloween idea we have done so far. We LOVE Adventure Time and there are lots of people online who have made costumes and some have even posted the instructions for others to follow. I used some of these posts and added some of my own. I was Fiona and my boys were … Read more
