You Can Find A Large Variety Of Halloween Costumes Available At Stores In Your Neighborhood.

A Little Makeup Will Complete Your Scarecrow Costume.Ghost: Ghosts Are An Old Stand-by That Never Goes Out Of Style. Use An Old White Sheet With Holes Cut For The Eyes And Sew A Simple Treat Bag Out Of A Scrap Of Material Or A Worn Out Pillow Case.
