Go Retro
Older kids might get a kick out of dressing like Mom and Dad did in the "old days"-more than likely, the eighties. If that doesn't suit them try the hippie styles of the 1960's and 1970's. You will look like you all got stuck in a time warp!

Witches
Ghosts
Goblins
Pumpkins or Jack o'lanterns
