Today I thought I’d take on a horror theme for this month-long Halloween costume-a-thon with my Jack TorranceĀ The Shinning door costume. Everyone knows the famous scene where he breaks through the door with his axe and says: Heeeeeeeere’s Johnny, so that’s the costume I have re-created.

Barbarella Costume
Dearest valued costume fans, I’m SOOOO SORRY that’s it’s been so long since my last post, but suffice to say that things have been rather crazy in Maryland (also a chocolate chip cookie brand in the UK) so I will make it up to you with not one, but TWO costume posts this week! First…
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…

Kip from Napoleon Dynamite Costume
This is the third time I have taken on a Napoleon Dynamite character costume, but this time, it’s my favourite of all – Kip. I mean how can he not be your favourite when he’s dropping lines like: “Don’t be jealous that I’ve been chatting online with babes all day. ” “Things are getting pretty…
Annie Costume
Today I was able to throw together an Annie costume with the use use of just a red wig and a red dress. So simple to do as a last minute go-to for all your costume party needs. Photo credit: Holmes Red Curly Wig: Ebay (Borrowed from Dungog) Red Dress: Supre White Shirt: TEMP White…
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…
