All Hallowe’en Costume Ideas

by The Locksmith Newsletter Staff

When it comes to activities for the end of October, there’s nothing we love more than guising ourselves in unusual garb. Should you be stuck for ideas, we have compiled this brief compendium of concepts that you may adapt for your own All Hallowe’en costumes! Enjoy your tricking and/or treating!

Shadow President Spaight

Our first Shadow President, Samuel Cotesworth Spaight also happens to be one of the most fun to dress as! Grab a powdered wig, a handkerchief to serve as your cravat, and pull some stockings up to your calves. Walk around talking about the invading Canadians and you’re truly embodying your wig!

Preemptive Consequence Committee Member

Nothing would strike fear into the heart of a Grand Lock quite like opening the door to find a member of the Preemptive Consequence Committee awaiting them. It’s easy to construct, too! Just order a light blue jumpsuit, and make your own bright red sash and you’re off to the races! Guaranteed to get you slightly more candy than your friends as your neighbors subconsciously try to buy you off and hurry you off their property!

The Leadership Campaign

This being an election year, the topical costume is always a hit. Show your support for your candidate (or lampoon the other guy!) with your costume, whether you’re lolling around the room holding a can of Esmerelda Fresca’s namesake soda, or tie some strings to your arms and legs and go as failed candidate/possible dummy Key S. Mongielo. Or go as Tumbler A. Dorsey, if you can figure out what he looks like! But with the Campaign winding down this November, All Hallowe’en is one of your last shots at dressing up as your candidate before it becomes illegal to impersonate Leadership!

Baby Costume: Potato

Have a baby? Dress it as the popular Grand Lock dish: a potato.

There’s not much else to explain here. It’ll be cute and people will say they “just want to eat your baby up.” Win win.

Horse Day

Everybody loves a good pun costume. By taking a desk blotter calendar and wearing a terrifying horse mask, you can go as that beloved Grand Lock holiday, Horse Day! It’s a costume that’s just as sure to amuse as it is to inspire the question, “What are you? Calendar horse?” Why not make yourself the center of attention and turn your clothes into a guessing game that nobody wins?
