A Blackberry. I had no costume, and a lot of blue balloons left over from a birthday party (the birthday girl really hated blue) so I blew 'em up, tied 'em together and draped them around me..

I haven't done many (that I can remember) that were all that original. One year I sewed myself a big flowing cape with a big draping hood and for many years just dressed in that and menacingly handed out candy. It's like 20 years old, or more, but I think I still have it somewhere. I should probably wash it. :)
I guess the second most original I've managed was Vincent Van Gogh. It was the year I started wearing a goatee instead of a full beard. I wore a white shirt and khaki pants with suspenders, a bandage around my head covering my left ear, and a straw hat, and had a few brushes in my shirt pocket.
The most original was a ghost flasher. I wore my trench coat over shorts and a t-shirt (so my legs would look bare below the coat,) and wrote "BOO!" in a cartoon word balloon on the front of the t-shirt. Then I stuffed a white sock, drew a ghost face on it, and arranged it to stick out of my fly. When I threw open the coat, there was the ghost saying "BOO!" The original plan was for me to dress as a ghost under the coat and have the little ghost attached as described to be revealed when I "flashed." We didn't have a white sheet my wife was willing to have cut up, though.
Another one was "Stinkerbell". That one never really came together. I forget what I did instead. I had bought some grey fairy wings and a size-too-small "wifebeater" undershirt. The plan was to stain the undershirt with various food drippings and somehow create fake pitt stains as well. I was going to wear them with shorts and some dark socks with sock garters and chomp on a fake stubby cigar. I think I just wasn't able to find the sock garters and cigar.

Some of my Dad's old work clothes combined with some "trashy girl" clothes and a sign on my back that said "The Pride and Joy of @#$%^&*( County. Then my best friend's dad took us out trick or treating (we were in 11th grade) and he had brought along about nine or ten dozen eggs and let us go egg this girls house and mail box. Really sad. But it was his idea and not ours. After all, he was the adult and we were minors. Oh, and he was also ourregional head of the Post Office or something like that.

This year I made my husband the Brave Sir Robin costume from the Holy Grail. (I'm made Zoot from the Castle Anthrax for myself.)
A friend of mine is also dressing up like Tim the Enchanter!

One year I was a popcorn box--I had a huge box on down to my knees and I put red stripes on it and glued popcorn to the top
Another year I was a shower--a hula hoop with a shower curtain hanging down!

My best buddy in high school and I went as Sonny and Cher. We both dressed in drag, which made him Cher and me Sonny. We looked real good.
