classic halloween costumes

Outfits for Halloween mainstays like witches, ghosts, vampires and devils are easy to make, fun to make your own, and never go out of style.
Classic Halloween characters are perfect if you aren't feeling too creative--or if you want to show off just how creative you can get with a classic theme.

Suggestions:
• Witch--A pointy hat and black dress are easy basics, but you can also do it up with black-and-white-striped stockings, green face paint, long, black fingernails and a long wig.

• Ghost--Easiest costume ever; just cover yourself in a white sheet with holes for your eyes and nose cut out of it. Or go as the ghost of a dead celebrity. Choose a recognizable figure (Elvis, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe) and add white face paint and dark circles under your eyes.

• Vampire--A black cape and fake teeth do the trick. Or you can vamp it up by going as the well-dressed bloodsuckers from Interview with the Vampire or Lost Boys.
