    Which fancy dress costume should I go for?

    I've got a Halloween Party coming up on Saturday night, and I'm in need of a Fancy Dress costume. I'm leaving it late, but I've narrowed it down to three:

    1. Gothic Fiend Costume

    2. Vampire Gothic Costume

    3. Evening Vampire Costume


    Which of those would you go for? I'm tall and slim so I'm thinking #1 or #2, I'm leaning toward #1 at the moment.

    I really wanted the Jack Skellington costume cause I think that's way cool but it's too expensive to warrant. Anyhow, which of the above 3?

    Slim you say?



    I bought the Jack Skellington & Sally costumes in June of this year, I keep meaning to eBay them

    The shop you've chosen wont let you down, really helpful and really quick delivery.

    3 is very classic.

    2 looks more like a deranged woman

    1 is probably the best...

    Re: Which fancy dress costume should I go for?

    Costume 1 with the make up from costume 2 ... 3 doesn't count
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    I would say 3 - the other two look like wizard costumes to me whereas the cloak in 3 is easily recognisable as classic vampire opera-capeish, plus cloaks are easy to take off if you get too warm - bear in mind I'm old and don't know what I'm talking about when considering this advice.
