It will be impossible to describe this home-made costume to do it justice, but I’ll try. A few years ago at an office Halloween party a co-worker, who the previous year had come in an incredibly elaborate “Mr. Death” outfit that boosted him up to about 7 feet, fashioned something even more original. It was a two-headed Alien-type creature that crawled across the floor like a spider. One masked alien head was guy’s, the other was a movable fake head operated by stick from under the costume and wearing an identical alien mask. Its eyes could move.
The guy walked low to the ground on his haunches and was completely concealed by a gross “skin” covering from under which sprouted several false limbs. I tell you, this thing gave everybody goose bumps, but it won him first prize Best Costume contest – second year in a row.
