Paint your masks with a 'kiss me,' a clown face, or the Statue of Liberty, and you'll all be wearing one of the most striking costumes of the party.
Dressing up as a zombie for Halloween is a sure hit. Set yourself apart from the usual zombies by dressing up as the zombies from 'The Walking Dead'. If you don't know how to create the perfect costume and make you the zombiest of the zombies: simply choose clothes you don't wear and rip them, stain them, and cut them to your liking. Mark some dark circles under the eyes with some eye shadow and, if you dare, buy fake blood, let it drip from the corners of your mouth, and 'hey presto!' your zombie costume is ready!
Want to give the zombie costume a twist? Well, here's one way. Someone in the group can be Michael Jackson, another can be his date. And then you can add as many zombies as you like. Try to learn some of the iconic dance moves, and we can see a flash mob starting...
