I am not a "sunshine, lollipops and rainbows" kind of girl. In fact, I tend to veer more toward piles of broken doll parts, ghost stories and reruns of Dark Shadows. If you eagerly welcome things that go bump in the night, you're in luck! We morbid souls get to indulge to our anatomical hearts' desire when Halloween rolls around. It's never too early to start thinking about a custom costume that will ensure a memorable entrance, creepy novelty toys and delicious candy. For more danse macabre, check out Etsy's Halloween Preview style guide.

it`s good for ''Halloween'' to prepare of that interesting things ; )
breadandroses
Oh, Teenangster! I used to run home from school to watch Dark Shadows when I was a kid. Totally forgot about it. It was really different for its day. I'm happy for those who love dressing up but I'm not so much into Halloween/Gothic iconography & drama, Got enough of the real life wild animal kind of drama right in our neck of the woods: coyote packs are back, documented black bear sighting, big tracks in woods the old timers swear are bobcat or larger cat. Had a spooky close encounter w/ a racoon at 5:30 a.m. Lots scarier than a ghost or zombie and way more dangerous, too!
sharonclancydesigns
Such great costumes for the little ones. There's nothing cuter than a wee one dressed up for Halloween. I love the little gnome and the bumble bee! How adorable!!!
katyandsuzys714
LOVE the gnome outfit....and my fav....the black beard..it would look so lovely on me this time of year!!!!

You guys rock! I love this collection! There are a talented bunch of individuals on this website. I think I need to get me some sexy kitten ears and that cute witch had for my cats. Although...I'm wondering if they'd be good sports and keep it on. I can see kids ringing my doorbell on Halloween and doing a double take at my cats in the costume, and me dressed up as my feline counterparts.
(Can I just say how much I like that little Gnome costume? Too cute!)
Laura4ca
This is really cool.............Love to put on a costume and that way I won't scare anyone............Its when I take it off that I get the reactions............LOL
