Best Costume I ever did was The Sandman- which was created by using the description from the song "Enter The Sand Man" Which i created a very gorey and awesome Latex mask from scratch and some cool threads from robes and stuff.
I do really cool masks from Latex, wish I had some photos from the ones I have done. Liquid latex is easy to find online.
I am taking my son out- He is doing the Fireman thing, being I just became one myself.
My candy of choice will always be sourpatch kids.
I hand out assortment, but not granny's assortment. Sourpatch kids, full size bars, and the best of the best.
