just a few ideas that come to mind in case anyone is interested in any of these for costume ideas. Any of the living dead dolls, Prince of Darkness from the John Carpenter moive with ALice Cooper as the Prince of Darkness would be cheap to do I think, BeetleJuice or Lydia Deetz from Bettlejuice, Any of the Nightmare before christmas characters such as Jack Skellington. I would love to come up with some idea for some sort of costume & title for a bat loving nut like me, some sort of queen of the bats idea, anyone come up with anything let me know ok. I guess if one were to have big bucks there always the many great characters from The Dark Crystal or The Labryinth, Orks from Lord of the Rings, ok ok I know, wishful thinking ~sigh~ anyways, like I said, just a few before going to bed here. the Lydia Deetz character would be cool too I think?

Happy Halloween Dreamin

Any suggestions?

I'm a sucker for a classic witch, my all time favorite costume,

which I return to every couple of years. Pirates are BIG this year, so if you need pirate-type accessories, get your bid in soon, that stuff will be selling like hotcakes!

I'm thinking of going as some sort of Queen of The Bats, anyone have a better name though for me then Queen of The Bats

I will be purchasing a pair of high quality flexible rubber demon/bat wings, not sure what kind of gown would look best though

any ideas for the costume would be greatly appreciated

Hey, DOD - How about this - 'Chiroptia' (ky-rop-tee-uh). taken from Chiroptera - meaning, an old order dating to early Eocene: bats: suborder Megachiroptera (fruit bats); suborder Microchiroptera (insectivorous bats)

Or - noun plural
: an order of eutherian mammals modified for true flight comprising the recent and extinct bats Ã¢â‚¬â€chiÃ‚Â·ropÃ‚Â·ter /kI-'rÃƒÂ¤p-t&r/ noun Ã¢â‚¬â€chiÃ‚Â·ropÃ‚Â·terÃ‚Â·an /(')kI-'rÃƒÂ¤p-t&-r&n/ adjective or noun

Just a suggestion

BTW: I LOVED 'Prince of Darkness'! VEEEEEEEEEERY creepy! Especially the end!!! brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

Hey OEJ, I LOVE IT!!! Now if only I could pronounce it,lol

even broken down I'm not sure if I have it right, but I will go on-line and there's a site that actually says it live for you, think I will do that, but love that way I think it sounds. ~HUGS~ thanks for the name

Ya Prince of Darkness was awesome! But then it has Alice Cooper as the POD, so of course it is, silly me

Hey everyone, Yep I'm still up, hoping to go to sleep soon. But oh have I got a wicked costume idea for anyone interested. I'd love to do it but if I did I'd want to do it well, and I think it would be to costly for me right now, so feel free if you can do it "bats to you" go for it.

How about "Faun" off of Pan's Labyrinth?? or the Pale Man too. I'd love to be Faun though. Anyways, just 2 ideas for anyone searching.

If anyone goes for it, pleae be sur eto post me a picture after ok.

Must go to bed here soon before I catch on fire

Hey DOD you could do one of my goth dresses! But with a twist. Once its dyed black then we take and cut out bat shapes in the train. Then on the bodice add a flat rubber bat to the front (flat across the chest). And some other things can be done too. Sorry I didn't email. I will.

Sorry I've been quiet for a little bit guys. I'm getting ready to post some pics for you all. I'm uploading them first thing next week. Family coming in this weekend. Enjoy the holiday creepily!!!

DOD, you will make an awesome "mistress of the bats" Deadride had great ideas about the dress, definitely wings, and how about a "pet" bat on your arm or shoulder?

Dutchess of Darkness · Post by **Dutchess of Darkness** » Fri May 25, 2007 11:03 pm

Hey deadbride, I love your ideas!

Yes we must email each other about the details. Would love to see pictures of some of your goth dresses

After last Hallween when Walmart put thier Halloween fabric on clearance the dear lady there who knows I'm a Halloween nut called me to let me know about the sale and that there was still some sheer black bat patterned material, so I bought it thinking either to use it for a costume one year, possibly to create "or get someone to create me" long bell shaped sleeves for whenever I did do a bat type costume

Can't wait to see these pictures your planning on posting.

If you go to my profile my email should be listed there, but I don't see yours so if you want to pm me it that would be awesome! And also that way I could send you that picture I wanted to of my cats

Hey MHooch, I was thinking that I would need some sort of pet bat to go with my costume, I love your idea of an on the shoulder pet bat, will have to do that, thanks for the tip
