    ok, everyone has a favourite costume that they remember with sickly fondness from when they were eight....
    mine is of a truly awful halloween when all my friends bought their costumes and I had to make mine (violins please) well not to come off sounding like a 50's b-movie but I was a plastic bag dracula. I did have some hideously cheap makeup though and a pair of horrible tasting fake fangs which I'm sure were highly toxic, this was the 80's after all... Nevertheless it's practically the only costume I can remember!

    I remember one year I got sick of buying cheap masks, so I just bought an expensive (£6) devil mask which was all made of rubber. That kept me going right up until I ceased trick or treating!

    Ah those were the times :D

    I made a boba fett costume myself out of an old t-shirt and some cardboard.

    What an imaginative (yet nerdy) child i was :)

    I was one of the black plastic bag people. Had to either dress up as a witch, or if I had fake blood - Dracula.

    We used to have a rubber mask that scared my brother ****less. Once to give him a proper scare, I put the mask completely over my baby sister, who was barely old enough to crawl. She ended up crawling into the kitchen with the mask completely over her. My mother nearly had a fit, I can still remember her clung to the sink screaming :D

    Best thing I ever did was a headless man costume (cardboard box over my head with eye holes where the buttons on the jacket would have the buttons would been and a paper maché head underneath my arm.

    I was always one of those kids that loved building stuff!

    Saddest was the year I wore my Tae Kwon Do suit to be the Karate Kid :o

    I only remember the worst and that was in school when we all had to bring in stuff to make a costume, of course everybody brought in pre-made costumes and shop bought jobs.
    Gogo was in the corner trying to make a robot costume with five or six cardboard boxes. I was still there at three o'clock that day, with no costume, covered in sellotape and cardboard, pissed off at everybody else and there bloddy pre-made costumes.
    They took a picture for the school magazine that day, you can see me in the corner trying not to cry.

    sob,sob,hiccup.
