Pete got us a load of alcohol from his work and made up a spooky punch, along with some test tube shooters while I decorated the flat, then we carved some pumpkins quickly before our guests arrived. Now onto the outfits...
Pete: Shirt - Debenhams // Waistcoat - Ebay // Trousers, belt & shoes - Models own
Ayden: Shirt - Primark // Tank Top - Ebay // Skirt - Miss Selfridge // Shoes - Primark
We managed to scrape both our costumes together for pretty cheap. Pete only had to buy his shirt and waistcoat, and I had no trouble finding any of mine apart from the skirt. It is SO HARD to find a white skirt in that style, in October. So I know it's not as close to the characters as I hoped, but it was the best I could do for this time of year. We dirtied our clothes and faces down with some fake blood and brown face paint, and luckily I didn't need to wear a wig since Paddy had already sorted my hair out for me! I knew I needed it in that style for halloween, but now that's out the way I think I'm going to let it grow for a bit. Claire is naturally quite pale in the film (well, before she gets covered in dirt and blood!) but I popped on some Fake Bake 5 Minute Mousse on my legs, arms and chest just so I would look healthy, rather than transparent, which I usually am at this time of year haha. Portugal tan has well and truly faded folks. Damn you, Scotland!
I bought a witch and devil outfit from Poundland for Dexter and Binx. Dexter was wandering around with his little cape and horns on, but Binx wouldn't have any of it! So I guess you can say he just went as Binx from Hocus Pocus... easy costume for him eh? I didn't get a photo of all the guests, but everyones outfits were awesome. It was a nice surprise opening the door to various unexpected characters, from Johnny Bravo, to Vikings, to a Unicorn, and Bellatrix Lestrange! Are you a fan of Halloween and a big kid like me? Tell me what your best outfit has been!
