Want to really stand out at Halloween? Here are some ideas that will blow everyone away!
Enact the final scene from Shirley Jackson's short story, The Lottery. Flip a coin to see who gets to be Tessie Hutchinson!
This is great for a group of party-goers! Get each trickster to paint their body in a different colour from head to toe
and wrap everyone together in large piece of Saran Wrap (try the plastic sheets from drycleaner's). Voila, a bag of jellybeans!
Har har har har!
Pregnant nuns. Wow! A guaranteed crowd pleaser and triple points for creativity.
Stick on fluffy white cotton balls all over your body with Elmer's Glue. Dust bunnies!
Dress as you normally would but affect frequent tics and spew obscenities at the top of your lungs. When people ask you
what your "costume" is, tell them to piss off and say "Tourette's Syndrome"
Wear black and jauntily perch a black beret on your head. Declaim fragments of bad poetry to fellow party revellers.
Melted Frosty the Snowman! Carry a bucket of water with you during the night's festivities and jam a corncob pipe in your
mouth and pieces of coal taped to your eyes. Keep yourself drenched or people just won't get it!
Use really strong hair gel or ICE Mist to make your hair stand right on end. Put on a windbreaker. Go as a Hurricane Reporter!
Staple plastic LCBO bags all over your clothes and cut out eyes for one to go over your head. You can also use Loblaws
or Pusateri bags for a similar effect.
On your forehead carefully outline the letter K with a circle around it. Use a black Sharpie for best results. Get a rabbi
to inspect authencitity and go forth as Kosher Meat!
