I only dressed up for Halloween a few times when I was growing up (we lived way out in the country), and I never had any spectacular costumes.

My 5-year-old nephew, however, was Johnny Cash last year. By far, the best childhood costume I’ve ever witnessed.

I remember when I was six, my mom made a kitty costume for me. My best friend went as a puppy. We went to a festival in costume and chased each other around the entire time…I swear we never stopped. I lost touch with that friend (Jay Owens where are you?). That is still a great Halloween memory!

There were 4 kids in my family so most of my costumes were of the homemade and recycled variety so our family favorite costume was the red Crayola crayon complete with pointy red felt hat!

My favorite costume from my childhood was a bunny. Well, I don’t know if it’s my favorite but it’s the only one I can remember. hee hee

I was never really what I wanted to be growing up (princess or fairy) - I was a monster one year (not my idea), a late 80s small town Alabama idea of a punk rocker (can you say last minute) and I did the gypsy too. My mom did make a really good clown costume for me one year. Clowns kinda freak me out, but I was only about 4 or 5. I remember my cousin and I went trick or treating in my neighborhod, and one of the houses always did these awesome decorations.

I finally got to be a fairy on Halloween at a friend’s party in college when I was 19. My two friends and I went as the 3 fairies from Sleeping Beauty (but “hot” - did I mention we were 19?). We bought wings, wands and crowns and glitter and glue and decorated the wings and wands with our signature color of glitter (I was red). We had a lot of fun being so girly at the tail end of adolescence…

Mickey ruleth!

Don’t forget that technically I need you to just mention your favorite Halloween costume as a child growing up in order to get an entry.

I am really having difficulty remembering a specific costume! What is bad is that I remember my mom working really hard on them, but I can not remember a favorite. Please don’t tell her!
I do remember that she had a giant pumpkin costume made for me, and that I liked that one.

I have a few favorites. The one on the top of my head is from 1st grade when I dressed up as a young George Washington. I wore a women’s brunette wig and put a pony tail in it which made it look colonial. Then I wore a tri-corner hat and shoes with buckles. I looked like I just chopped down a cherry tree.

My other favorite costume was when my Mom made me a white Buck Roger’s costume based on the show that was a huge hit during that time in the late 70s/early 80s.

I don’t really remember spending money on costumes, either. Do ya’ll? The only costume that I recall being a true store bought one was my Woody Woodpecker one from about 1975. Ha! The rest were just sort of piecemealed from my mom’s and sister’s closets!

Growing up I thought it was the ugly el cheapo barbie costume with pastic wrap around dress and suffocating plastic face mask. We were rather poor and store bought items were rare. However I look back now and realize all the great and very cure costumes I had that my family made and helped me create. There was a great majorette costume that my mom found at a garage sale. There were even boots with pom poms on them and I had a baton! Then there were the little cat costumes my grandma made me out of hand-me-down leotards and fun material she had leftover from quilts, etc. It’s hard to pick just one fave. Right now I wish I still had any of them to show or give to my kids. Actually–I’d probably make them wear them!

My favorite costume was probably my Princess costume…I loved pretending I was a little princess!

A clown.

My mom always made our costumes, and this particular clown costume was great, and long-lasting. When we were 2, it just had lots of puffed out extra fabric. As we got taller, the costume just got narrower. It was probably used from when I was 2 until when my brother was 5, 8 years!

Unfortunately later we moved to upstate NY and had to wear our winter coats and hats under all our costumes. So then we were a fat clown, a fat princess, a fat witch, a fat Ninja Turtle, etc.

My favorite was when my sister and I dressed up like Alice in Wonderland and the white rabbit. It is so great to be a kid. Sometimes I wish I could go back for a minute! Thanks for the contest!!!

Oh gosh - I’ve had a hard time deciding my favorite. I think I’ll go with a gypsy. I wore one of my mom’s old dresses with lots of belts, necklaces and the biggest pair of clip-on earrings you ever saw. I remember they killed my ears, but I refused to take them off until I got home from tick-or-treating.

I loved my witch costume, until my mother decided to make me an “ugly” witch. I wanted to be a beautiful witch, like Glenda. She also had great ideas when I was younger to dress me in a brown paper sack and call me a sad sack.

I grew up where it was usually snowing by Halloween, so don’t remember too many great costumes (they were all covered by parkas by the time we went trick-or-treating). I do remember dressing up like a “hobo” (how embarassingly non-PC) one year to take my baby brother trick-ro-treating, memorable because I drew a mustache on with an eyeliner pencil and wondered if it would come off!

Mine, hands down, was a COOKY SPOOK! Remember, the inflatable head that you wore as a hat. That takes me way back.

My sister, cousin, and I used to dress up like babies! That was the fad back then. I have two young children, and we just went to Disneyworld in August! It was a first time for all of us! I would love the dvd!

The one that I remember the most was when I was a pioneer woman. I wore a bonnet that belonged to my great grandmother. I was on the TV news that night wearing my costume.

When I was 8, my mom dressed me up as an Indian girl. I had long hair which she put in two braids, she took an old hunting vest and fringed the bottom and I owned a dress that looked ‘Indiany’. I won first place at a costume contest:)

Oh wow, Let see I can remember a few….

My cousin and I once dressed up as Glenda The good witch and the Wicked Witch from Wizard of Ozzz. I was the good witch, since my mom wouldn’t let me be the evil witch.

One I can really remember that I enjoyed being was a HOBO clown and then as I got older my mom actually let me be a bar maid????

My favorite costume was a punk rocker. I think I dressed up as a punk rocker at least 3 times. The other times I dressed up as a gymnast.

I dressed as a ghost and a witch most often, but I remember one halloween I dressed as Kermit the Frog - with hand-dyed green tights and hoodie (with two half circle styrofoam “eyes” glued to the top of the hood). We had to slightly stuff the hoodie to get that kermit look. I guess I have a very creative mom!

I also have 2 kids who are very into Micky and Little Einsteins. Great giveaway!
