The gray was much longer and I had to trim all of it down, but it really was the best match for Cheshire. I used a pattern to make the body then altered it to fit her measurements. The blue stripes were cut, placed, pinned and hand-stitched one by one. The mask has a paper m\u00e2ch\u00e9 base with upholstery foam to widen his face. The eyes are lenses from a pair of sunglasses that I painted w\/ just turquoise acrylic paint. The blacks of the eyes are what she sees through. Narrow, but it works well enough. The mouth and nose are thick card-stock also painted and attached with a glue gun and the whiskers are actually twigs I spray painted and glued in under the fur. Took about a month to make but probably would&#8217;ve been less if I didn&#8217;t have FT work + FT school<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>57.

You might think this costume would be difficult with cars, stairs, or the restroom, but\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/funny\/comments\/2kwpxp\/my_friend_andy_always_has_the_best_halloween\/clpmu62\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he thought about that<\/a>\u00a0ahead of time. The hand cart comes apart, so he can ditch it and the extra legs when needed, and still be left with a full costume. He\u2019s not really in a straitjacket; crossed arms just give him the look.<\/p>\n<h4>59.

Her then-2-year-old son was delighted to be the character from his favorite story. It&#8217;s just one of many literary costumes that put kids in their favorite books that you can see in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/jreeve\/childrens-book-characters-born-to-be-halloween-costumes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this bigger list<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>60. The Governor and His Daughter<\/h4>\n<p>Fans of the TV show\u00a0<em>The Walking Dead<\/em>\u00a0will recognize the Governor and his undead daughter. Redditor\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/funny\/comments\/2ky4ua\/me_and_my_sister_as_the_governor_and_his_daughter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TriforceKing and his sister<\/a>\u00a0wore this last Halloween. It helped that he already resembled the actor David Morrissey somewhat. A few people pointed out that the Governor didn\u2019t lose his eye until after his daughter was gone, but who cares? It\u2019s Halloween!<\/p>\n<h4>61. Baby Can&#8217;t Wait<\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s not really a new picture, but\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/F6jc7Wh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this photo<\/a>\u00a0was posted just last week showing a baby who can\u2019t wait until he\u2019s born to go trick-or-treating. Redditor Ghost0_ told us how he and his wife\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/funny\/comments\/3p0qrx\/baby_really_excited_for_trick_or_treating\/cw26uqv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">used that idea for Halloween<\/a>\u00a0a couple of years ago, and what went into making it. You don\u2019t really have to be pregnant to pull this off, but it\u2019s funnier to people who know you if you are.<\/p>\n<h4>62.

It cost him about $30 and took about 30 hours of work. This version of the trick looks better than most because the \u201cdummy\u201d is covered by a surgical mask, obscuring its fakery, and QuaziLogical wore a mask, too, to make his face look artificial.
