Gosh, Melody - I love your costume themes! I am going to have to remember the Plants vs. Zombies ones. A couple I know dress up very elaborately each year. They might like to try that one. Their costumes, that I remember were Jack Sparrow (SPOT on!) and a Pirate Wench, The Mad Hatter and Alice (Tim Burton style and again, spot on!) and then the next year they reworked the same costumes to be Zombies in Wonderland. They were horrifying and sooooo terrific. When the guy was Jack Sparrow that year, after making the rounds 'trick or treating' at friends and relatives, he hung out at various corner stores in town, doing a whole act. Swaying around the drink cases, shouting at the cashier, "Where's ye rum, matey?!" and asking customers nearby if they drank all the rum, etc. It was hilarious!
My costumes these days tend to just pretty generic, but I like them. One year I was the "Queen of Cards". I made myself a crown out of playing cards, as well as a big collar from them. I wore a black shirt and a long red skirt, and black lace up keds. I know I had jewelry too, but right now can't recall what it was. Now I am more into sort of an old fashioned black and orange look.
