I loved Beetlejuice as a kid! So today I have taken on Adam Maitland from Beetlejuice where they have their monster/scary stretchy faces. The mask was made with just folded paper on top of a cap, so I’m pretty stoked with how well it turned out on such a dodgy concept. Photo credit: Noodle Noo…

Annabelle Doll Costume
Today I’ve chosen to go creepy with my Annabelle Doll costume. You may know the creepy Annabelle doll from either horror films, The Conjuring or Annabelle. She is hella creepy and a great Halloween costume. Photo credit: Nettie Noodles Strawberry blonde wig: Ebay Red ribbon: Hot Dollar White dress: Mink Pink (with red tape and…
Morticia Addams from The Addams Family Costume
Today I have taken on another Addams family member with this costume of Morticia Addams (previously I have done Cousin It and Wednesday Addams). It’s a bit warm in Melbourne today (32 degrees!) so please excuse any unsavoury sweat beads. Photo credit: Frosted Tips Long black wig: Ebay Black top: Glassons (with added black paper…
Jigsaw from Saw Costume
I feel as if I haven’t had enough ‘scary’ costumes for the build up to Halloween, so that’s why today I’ve attempted Jigsaw from Saw. Someone I’ve come off creepy, but quite as real and creepy as Jigsaw, it’s probably because I don’t have eyes as black as death. My bad. Photo credit: Frosted Tips…
Carrie Covered in Blood Costume
A couple of weeks ago for Halloween I created a Carrie mid-pigs-blood-bucket-pour costume. The mid-pour was created by having a metal wire fitted to the tiara and then fitted into the bucket.While it was quite the balancing act to wear it, it was also quite dramatic…too bad not too many people knew of the 70’s…
The Birds Tippi Hedren Costume
Today as we are on Halloween Eve, I thought I’d come back to the classic horror genre for my costume today, dressing as Tippi Hedren from Hitchcock’s The Birds, mid-bird attack.

The Ring Costume
Today I thought I’d create a more conventional-creepy Halloween style costume. So I went the creepiest I could go with the most minimal of elements – the little girl from The Ring. The beauty of this costume is all you need to pull it off is a simple white dress and a REALLy long brown…

It aims to encourage the reading of J. R. R. Tolkien books. March 25 was chosen to mirror the fall of Sauron in The Lord of the Rings. With…
