Best Halloween Costume Ever?

Me as dead car hop

I'm really into Halloween and one of my favorite Halloween costumes was one I thought of years ago and just never got around to following through with it until two years ago. It was a car hop who was run over.

I tend to like to be slightly gory things. Oh and I'm talking about adult only costumes here.

I had a tire track across my chest, fake blood everywhere, and yes, was on rollerskates. My husband was Bloody Holly.

While this was a brilliant costume idea in my opinion, I realized once we were at a Halloween party at a bar how difficult it was to do things in rollerskates. Going to the bathroom was the worst.

his and her halloween costumes But if I could just stay in one spot or better yet, get a seat, I still think it was one of my best ideas.

I've seen some amazing adult Halloween costumes over the years -- everything from bloody tampons to a (fake) snake-haired Medusa. One year, my friends Tina and Greg were Dog the Bounty Hunter and Beth -- incredible depiction.

What was the best Halloween costume you've seen? What was your own favorite costume?

loves vintage and will defend skinny jeans to the death though she is highly superstitious and "death" is probably a bad word choice. She has a touch of the hoarding disease and enjoys sleuthing, the worst reality shows, and wearing high heels, even at the playground. She's an AP mom of twins, slightly crunchy but with a pedicure.

I've never done the "gory" costume. Last year, my costume was really good. I created an Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's outfit. I looked exactly like her and received tons of compliments.

This year I'm going the witty route and dressing up as "14-carat gold." Gold dress, gold makeup and hair, and a necklace made of 14 carrots. 14-CARROT Gold :)

I love your costume! That is crazy, awesome! I also like the 14-carat gold deal! My favorite costumes of all time would have to be my sister (who is very short) and her boyfriend (who is very tall) went as the Jolly Green Gian and Little Sprout and it was so cool. My Mom went once as a roll of Charmin and had a sign that said "Don't squeeze the Charmin" I was very young and I don't think I ever got the joke until just now while typing it to you. Hmmmmm My Mom might have a wild side I never realized as a kid.......ewwwwwww! And there is a college (Kent State) in this area that has a huge Halloween party every year and they have great costumes. I once saw a group of guys dressed up like the guys from Monty Python, Search for the Holy Grail and they had guys following behind them with coconuts. It was awesome!

ewww bloody tampon? hehe. One of my favorites was "beer fairy" my friend dressed as a fairy with wings and everything, but had an "ammunition belt" she sewed herself that held 12 beers! It was hilarious.
