Frankenstein And His Bride
Every year for over a decade now, my husband and I have been invited to an annual Halloween party thrown by some long-time friends. Every year, costumes are mandatory.
Most years, we don’t attend. I’m usually sick or just getting over a cold at that time of year, or we already have plans, or sometimes I just can’t think of a good costume.
But one year, not only did we attend, but we went all out. And when I say “all out”, I do not mean we spent $$$ at a costume shop (which is fine, by the way). I’m old school when it comes to Halloween costumes, so we went the DIY route.
Behold, Frankenstein and the Bride of Frankenstein, made possible courtesy of Halloween makeup purchased at the grocery store, a white sheet, hair spray paint, and generous backcombing of naturally-curly hair (bride); and black clothes, Halloween makeup, and fake neck bolts purchased at the same grocery store.

Total cost, about $15.
Reaction from party goers? Priceless!
