Come Halloween, add more life to the cliché, “The more, the merrier.” Spook and amaze your host by your numbers and get him to give your group the goodies even before you reach his doorstep. Check out the following ideas on how you can dress up and act as a solid group when you go trick or treating. 1. Spook the neighborhood as slow-moving living deads. Wear black: shirt, pants, dress, shoes, accessories, everything. Apply foundation to your faces so you all get the spooky impaled look. Synchronize your movements. Walk slowly, and while chanting in unison, bring magic candles with you – the kind whose flame never goes out. 2. Stalk the neighborhood as elegant vampires. Wear black formal clothes: coat and tie for the gentlemen, formal gowns for the ladies, closed black shoes for everyone. Let the little ones wear black capes. Apply foundation to your faces and use bloody red lipstick. Have those wearing open necklines draw fang marks on their necks. Since your group is less rugged and rough than the living deads, behave regally. Reinforce your vampiric looks by wearing false fangs. 3. Haunt the neighborhood as white ladies. If a lithe build is the common denominator of your all-female group, pose as white ladies. Wear long flowing white gowns and don white-haired wigs. Apply foundation to your faces and lips. Synchronize your movements so that you'll all walk as if you're floating. Maintain an eerie silence within your group as you move from one house to another. 4. Hunt for witches in the neighborhood. Dress the part of irate witch hunters and apply some grease on your faces to hint that you have just successfully burnt one unlucky witch. Take the lead from typical witchcraft movies: Wear country folk garb and bring with you pitchforks and ropes. Since your group won't be wearing any uniform attire, reaffirm your group status by chanting, “Burn the witch! Burn the witch!” as you roam from one neighborhood to another. 5. Exorcise the neighborhood as nuns and priests. There's a scary connection between church personnel and horror movies. Dress up the part and bring candles, rosaries and crucifixes with you. While you walk as a group, sing slowly, but when you reach your host's doorstep, scare the lights off him by asking the possessed member of your group (the odd man out) to do the honors of paying your host courtesy. Let two members of your group then sprinkle holy water on your host's door step. 6. Bless the neighborhood as angels. Relive Christmas by dressing up as angels. Recycle your old church garments and Christmas play angelic costumes. Flaunt your wings. Apply light makeup and use glittery lotion on your skin to produce a heavenly and magical effect. Behave like angels: wear straight, angelic faces; minimize laughing boisterously; be ever so polite and gracious to the other trick-or-treaters you meet along the way. Sing your favorite Christmas songs as you walk and as you reach your host's doorstep. He will thoroughly enjoy the angels' pre-Christmas visit to his home. |
