I dressed up as Death. Black hooded robe , cape over that, black gloves , another small hood with a black cloth with small eye holes so I could see. And the best part, a real sythe, five feet tall with a three foot long blade(the blade is very dull and I covered it with duct tape). I found it at the back of our old garden shed years ago and cleaned it up, it's really what inspired the costume in the first place. I went out with my daughter (9)who was dressed as a princess, she was adorable. I got a lot of double takes when ,as my daughter walked away from their doorsteps, people would suddenly notice me at the end of their driveways. I've always been absolutely fascinated with the concept of death as a personality. I've never considered death evil, just doing his job. I had a blast knocking on my buddies door and telling him it was time!:biglaugh:
