If you don’t fancy light refecting off residue glitter on your body for the rest of your life, you could always go for a tried and tested outfit – in which case Mean Girls costumes are there for you. Also part of the latest designs is spider boobs, with two tarantulas – made out of beads – and plenty of baby spiders and cobwebs decorated all around the chest. Some people aren’t just committing one body part to the costume but are painting their entire surface, with one woman painting a whole skeleton across her whole body. If you’re inspired by these get-ups but don’t want the same old pumpkin look then fret not, there are plenty of other options

One of the creations includes flesh, blood and…mermaid scale? While that might not be the most frightening outfit, it certainly adds some edge to the mermaid look.
