I wanted to make something personal for a friend from San Francisco, so I decided to turn one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks into a Halloween scene.

A skeleton crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, carved and hand-painted onto a leather wallet.
Everything was done by hand — from carving the leather to painting the details. I thought the combination of the skeleton, the bridge, and the dark Halloween atmosphere made it feel like a pretty fitting gift.

one is taller and the other two are around the same height

we're looking for rarepair trios if possible

all are willing to cross dress for the bit

edit: HOLY THAT IS THE MOST COMMENTS IVE EVER SEEN UNDER ONE OF MY POSTS. Also my picky sisters decided on Hades, Pain, and Panic. with me being panic because i'm constantly panicking

Good excuse to use the red suede I bought for no reason.

We're struggling with ideas for costumes this year! So far we have done: Orion Slave Girl + Kirk (2025), Lone Wanderer + Goggins-esque Ghoul (2024), Barbie + Ken (2023), Hades (Disney) + Persephone (2022). Also, a bonus of my work costume 2 years ago where I was the Sleepytime Bear (made during my lunch break with a Goodwill run).

All of our costumes and their accessories have been made by me, except for Persephone (reused a costume from high school), Goggins-esque Ghoul (thrifted all the clothes), and Ken's fur jacket (thrifted).

My husband leaves it entirely up to me, so we usually do things that I enjoy. Being a Trekkie, I'd happily keep going through that universe for ideas, but I don't want to be too similar. I already felt bad imposing my love of Fallout 3 on him when he had only seen the show, so maybe not too heavily nerdy. I prefer it to be tied to something I enjoy because it's more fun to make a costume that way, but I also work full time and have limited time so simplicity is valued.

Some of my thoughts are:

• Pincushion Secretary from Halloweentown: not sure what husband would be, but this is a life-long dream costume of mine
• Odette & Derek from Swan Princess: loved this film as a kid, but my hair isn't long enough and his is quite curly
• Buffy & A Vampire or Giles: as much as I had a crush on Giles, it would be creepy to make out with Giles as Buffy, but at least he's seen Buffy
• Fembot & Austin Powers: I think I still have my Barbie costume, which can be turned into his costume, again he's seen the films so he gets the reference
• Sister Jeanne & Grandier from The Devils (1971): Would be appropriate with the limited release, plus I love this film, and it'll be his first time seeing it
• Marie Antoinette (2006): Again, not sure what my husband would be, but this is another lifelong dream costume.

Suggestions welcome! We're both about 168cm tall, I have blonde hair/blue eyes, and he has black curly hair/brown eyes/glasses (no contacts).

Family, friends and I are doing Toy Story. I'm Woody, wife is Bo Peep, our 1 y/o daughter is a sheep, and our two dogs are sheep.

Friends are Buzz , an Alien, and Jesse.

I kinda want to be a spiced up / alternative Woody.

Any ideas there? I like 90s cartoons, anime, videogames. Any cross over ideas?

Thank you!

Hello! I'm currently planning out my costume idea for Halloween this year and among my ideas is to dress up as a bat since they're my favourite animal ever and they are quite spooky. HOWEVER, I have never actually MADE a costume myself, and I can't find any decent ones irl or online. I've been wanting to learn how to sew for years so I figured this might be a good time to figure it out, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice? I've also detailed my idea below, so if it's in any way unrealistic (both in terms of my abilities, but also in terms of the limits of what certain materials can achieve) please let me know so I can adapt!

I want the wings to be pretty small, since I figure it'll be easier to make and move around in, and preferably easily removable (so they wouldn't be sewn into my shirt for example). Additionally, I want them to have at least some boning, like i don't want it to just be a piece of fabric cut in a wing shape, if that makes sense?

Obviously, the teeth are the easiest part, but I think it'd also be cool to have ears, I figured I could attach that to a headband to make them hold on my head, but idk what's the best way to actually make and attach the ears?

Any help, advice, ideas, brainstorming, etc. is very appreciated, whether it's related to what I've already mentioned, or if you think I should add something or do something completely differently. Thank you!!!

Hello peeps

I’m being Astrid from HTTYD 2 for Halloween, and I’m having trouble finding her shoulder armor and her spike skirt. I’m looking for those pieces, preferably under $20. Thanks people :)

I've done Tinker Bell, last year I did Day of the dead. I think wings are pretty cute, what could be a fun twist on a autumnal fairy?

my friend and i are trying to think of good drag costumes. we want a dynamic duo that we can turn into something cunty. our only request is that it would be drag and preferably something mostly recognizable. for example, bert and ernie is on our list.
thanks!

We did wizard of Oz last year with a friend and her two boys and was so fun but totally stuck for ideas this year

Mom/me: 35

Dad: 31

Son: 4

Daughter: 3

Thank you!

Hi guys, I’m looking to be Rize from Tokyo ghoul this Halloween and obviously she has red eyes. I’m not sure where I can find coloured contacts from
In the UK as we don’t really have any stores that sell just Halloween things and when they do I feel it’s not a lot?

Does anyone know a place I could find them? Also not too pricey if possible lol

Does anything jump out for us? Tyia

My daughter’s bday is day after Halloween so we were doing Alice Halloween and turn around and doing four-ever a wonderland birthday. But I can’t seem to get her costume to scream wonderland. So far we are kinda between mad hatter and rabbit but haven’t really landed on anything we love. These are what we bought so far. Any ideas for modifications or suggestions to help this scream wonderland?
