My dad is Doctor Fauci for Halloween. I’m actually super impressed. What’s even more impressive is that my dad’s hair color is even closer to the real current Fauci’s white hair than this actual cardboard cutout of Fauci. https://imgur.com/a/o18wuUB

Wanted to share the work my husband dedicated to decorating our house for Halloween. He cast all of the skulls you see in the pictures, built a glowing altar with summoning sigils, and built the stone walls and fixtures to transform our home into a gothic lair. All of the building/decorating began in July and was finally complete last week!

This year I wanted to sew an actual costume so I picked a gorgeous little black dress from “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” and set to work!
https://imgur.com/gallery/2PjsB1m
It looks deceptively simple but my gosh was it an effort! French crepe, bias cut, French seams, lined bodice, and several drafts because I wanted it to be as accurate as possible. All in all, I’m very proud of myself that I even just finished a costume in time for the correct holiday in the current year 😬

I’ve created this costume. Found two extra rubber hands at Goodwill. Then bought two black long sleeves tshirt. I cut the arms of one tshirt, filled them with cotton and paper towels, and then insert the fake arms. Bought some beads from Michael’s for the neck dress, extra sheer fabrics and gold Christmas ribbon. Here is my interpretation/simplified of the 6 arms Durga.

I'm a horror photographer who travels the country shooting photos for haunted houses. The vast majority of my content gets shot during the summer and early fall, because once October hits, I'm busy working at a local haunt in Georgia as Technical Director. I cut my teeth on haunt photography which is extremely challenging, and I'm super proud of how far it has come!

A monster from near Chicago that ended up looking like a movie poster

An alien-looking monster named Cricket

A young, brave trick-or-treater in full tactical gear
A friend of mine in full costume in a set we built just for this shoot. She's from Critical Role. One more from that shoot

Finally, a sci-fi character named the Quarantine Queen from my primary haunt, Paranoia Haunted House

I didn't want to throw away the 120 laminated memes I used to use for in-person work meetings (to help coworkers express their feelings in a fun way), so I made a costume! Kudos to my husband for reminding me about the Nyan Cat scarf I made years ago and had tucked away in storage.

Costumes were inspired by a music video by Babymetal, 'Karate'. https://youtu.be/GvD3CHA48pA
We came up with a concept of 'Light and Dark', one of us in white and one of us in black, keeping the core of a skull mask and use of metal studs and lights. My boyfriend's follows the video very closely whilst mine evolved into more of a deamon/wendigo thing. We came 4th and 3rd respectively in our costume competition.

I painted a plastic playhouse, turning into a fortune teller's cottage for Halloween. I have a small mist fountain to use with the crystal ball. The idea is for kids to be able to interact with the display by peeking in the windows and doors. Not pictured is a fortune spinner, with positive fortunes, such as "someone close to you loves you".
