The Witching Hour Is Almost Upon Us!

The Attic’s A Scream At Halloween

Halloween is right around the corner and I thought some of you might be doing what I do every year, which is to have this conversation with myself: Do I want to dress up this year? I never know what to be. I don’t want something boring. But not too crazy, either. But not like everybody else’s costume...Oh, it’s probably too late to find one anyway. I give up!

Fear not—Aunt Betty is here to turn October 31st into Your Costume Is Fabulous Day! Below are but a few of our many Costume ideas. The only question you need to ask yourself is just how fabulous do you want to be?

Does the thought of Lucy shoving mounds of chocolate into her cheeks give you a fun goofy grin? Recreate the classic I Love Lucy TM scene in our meticulous Lucy Candy Factory Costume. Just don’t forget to take the truffles out of your shirt before you go to bed.

Personally, I think there should be a picture of Elvira in the dictionary next to “fabulous,” and you’ll marvel at yourself in the mirror when you slither into the Deluxe Elvira Costume. Add the va-va-vampiress Elvira Wig to the sultry ensemble and get ready for gaping stares (mostly from men...and your grandmother).

Mr. Betty’s Attic and our son will be donning the Wheaties Adult and Wheaties Youth costumes this year as they make the neighborhood rounds. I’m trying to convince them both to wear hideous tube socks and throw in a pair of the Rocky Boxers, but they’ll probably wimp-out and wear jeans.

Maybe you just need a touch of make-­believe but aren’t ready to commit to a whole costume? The Herman Munster Mask is so lifelike, you’ll feel 12-feet tall! And one can never go wrong with a pair of Groucho Glasses! No one will recognize you! Not even your pets!

Whoever you decide to be this year, remember: Halloween is all about fun! And maybe stealing a few candy bars from your kids’ trick-or-treat bags to make sure they pass “inspection.” And some candy corn. Don’t forget those! And caramels...do they still make that sugary stuff you eat with the candy spoon...?
