#October AtoZ challenge: C is for #Costumes

I love playing dress up. Can't you tell?


It's my understanding that we dress up every year so that the demons and whatnot that come out on Halloween Night don't realize we are human, and prey on something else. Don't quote me on this as I learned this from Trick 'R Treat.
My personal all time favorite costume is:
Sam from Trick 'R Treat



From what I can tell, all you need is an orange onesie and burlap sack and presto! You have a pumpkin-headed demon child costume.



I might also aspire to be LeeLoo Dallas one Halloween--if I can convince myself I won't freeze to death wearing ONLY white tape.
