All Hallows’ Eve × Big and small pumpkin

Even though he wasn’t into celebrating Halloween, Maximus couldn’t stop himself from buying the cat’s pumpkin hood when he saw it while he was walking around town. But he felt so bad at the idea of putting Raki through that alone that he found a matching onesie for them to wear together. Obviously, he thought the kitten looked really cute with it, but also that both Ewan and Martie would think the same about him in his onesie. To his surprised he found the costume very comfortable and Raki seemed to enjoy the extra attention he was getting (Maximus was sure the cat knew how cute he looked).

Bedsheet Ghost

There is perhaps no Halloween costume more cliché than the “bedsheet ghost,” the most basic Halloween costume of which can be fashioned with nothing but white linens and scissors for eyeholes. As far as Halloween goes Israel has only recently taken up the holiday. In his own words, he thinks it’s “silly” and doesn’t see the point - aside from the candy corn. With that being said he has taken up his own attempt at a costume this year and given his limited resources he has gone with the old-fashioned Bedsheet Ghost at the expense of his own bedsheet. Of course, clothes are optional underneath. 

However, the simple costume holds a more symbolic purpose. Israel has always felt like a ghost floating amongst the living - more specifically amongst his parents. He serves as a living reminder that nothing lasts forever and as the clone of their son he feels like he is a sad attempt to resurrect him. 

The Bedsheet Ghost has no expression or distinguishing features and serves as a mask not only for Israel’s face but his whole body. No one knows who is under the sheet till it is lifted and that thin barrier gives him a sense of comfort. He can be anyone he wants with it on.

Ewan’s Halloween Costume : Vampire

Why not be a vampire? He thought it a little ironic, and if he was honest, he modelled his own costume around Hamish’s. The moment he saw the kittens costume in the store he thought it was adorable, and couldn’t help but find himself a matching one.

Margaery Tyrell, from A Song of Ice and Fire

Leda has never hide her nerd side or her book lover side. So it was very natural for her to mix the two of them together for Halloween. Choosing to go to the material source and still bitter about the tv series, Leda went on a hunt for green medieval dresses and golden rose accessories.  If anything she was surprised with the ease she got both.

White Queen (chess)

Baelfire was never the type of guy to hide anything before he became a wolf. But then, things changed. First, he lied to his parents about his new nature to protect them and then it became a question of survival when he was kidnapped and brought to Covaire. He’s been even more secretive since Bryce who was his only close friend left the city. Though that doesn’t stop him from being sentimental at times. He doesn’t forget things and thinks it’s important to remember and be reminded of the events that have changed the course of one’s life.

So, following Leo’s habit of changing bad memories into good ones, Baelfire picked that costume for the vamp’s eyes only-- chessman White Queen, which is a costume he wore 5 years ago, on October 30th 2014, during a ball for the 300th anniversary of Covaire’s construction. While it shouldn’t have been more than a ball, the night turned into a nightmare for everyone present when an airborne drug called FEAR was released. It was hell on Earth for Baelfire, but that night was pivotal for his reconciliation with the vamp and served as the cataclysm that would lead to Leo claiming him a couple months later on January 1st 2015.

Top row (left to right): the costume, second is how Leo sees him and Baelfire’s initial inspiration for the costume back in 2014. Bottom row (left to right): to represent the one dance Leo and Baelfire got to have that night right before the drug was released, which Baelfire plans on doing again without interruption this time around. The second one is a symbolic image of the fear inside the building where the ball was held. And the last one is what Kennedy became for Baelfire that night-- his lifeline.

Melanie Ashworth as Morticia Addams.

Melanie has fond memories of her younger days, spending afternoons in her family living room with her father and mother, watching a strange but loving goth family and their weird daily life. She will watch those old reruns before going with her father to go trick n’ treating for a few hours.  Her nostalgia is her main motivator to choose this particular costume. It is simple enough to get and fit with her work aesthetic.

Jay Mahone = Han Solo

Why the hell not dress as your favourite character? That’s pretty much all there is to it. Jay has grown up to these old movies, and out of all the characters, Han with his cocky attitude and quick draw is by far the best. Well, it was Han Solo, or an Ewok, so clearly Han won!

Israel’s 2020 Halloween Costume — Kawaii Pricolici

Romanian folklore creature.

Pricolici, similar to strigoi (troubled spirits of the dead rising from the grave), are undead souls that have risen from the grave to harm living people. While a strigoi possesses anthropomorphic qualities similar to the ones it had before death, a pricolici always resembles a wolf or a dog. Malicious, violent men are often said to become pricolici after death, in order to continue harming other humans. Sometimes “sin children” (from incest) become pricolici after they die.

If given a choice Israel would side for a repeat performance of the bedsheet he dawned last year. The guards at the Chateau had another idea. Parading around in just his boxers, a pair of ears, and a tail butt plug he can’t help but flush at everyone he crosses paths with.
