Go For Something a Little Spicy
Halloween is all about being scary, but over the course of recent years, it has also become important to look good on Halloween as well. This is when you should turn to more traditional movie characters like Cher Horowitz from the TV series Clueless instead of going for something spooky and creepy.

This also might be easier on your wallet as well, as you likely have several of the things you need to make these characters come to life already. Just be sure you have the facial expressions to go with a costume like this if you want to take home that prize!
