  4. Alli The Holloween Costumes Queen says:

    Wow, that is so creative! She did a great job on her costume and makeup, too! I keep looking at the pics but can’t really figure out how she managed to pull this off….er….you know what I mean. lol Hope she won a contest. :) Really, though I have to agree with another person’s comment that all the costumes on here are just wonderful. The food pics are great, too – love the creepy doll dip bowl!

    Love this hub. My husband was the creative one who made all kinds of costumes for the kids from what we had on hand. He even made a parrot out of construction paper for their pirate year. (They got tired of me tossing sheets on them, cutting out eye holes and voila they were ghosts. In my defense, it was cold where we were then and they could wear their coats under the sheet!)

    These are incredible! This just takes the halloween holiday over the top. I love the gory and disgusting vibe. I think a lot of people try and play it safe and don’t go over the top but this is totally over the top and I love it. These food items will totally change the vibe of a Halloween party.
