My friend and I were the twins from Stephen King's "The Shining" this past Halloween. Over the years, the Grady twins have become an iconic image that most Americans are familiar with. There isn't that much to the costume so it's easy to put together at the last minute. The hardest part is finding the right dress. We bought white dresses and dyed them blue, which can easily be done using RIT dye at home in your sink.
Materials:
Light blue dress
White knee-high socks
Black mary-janes
Fake blood
Just put it on! Wooooo hoooooooo.
Most people knew who we were on Halloween. You're stuck with your twin for the night though so pick someone you can stand.
Total cost: $25
Wow - how spooky! What a great idea. Your "dead" make-up and expressions are especially perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great budget-friendly costume ideas!
ReplyDeleteAwesome and terrifying idea with the shining twins. That's way better then a store bought costume every day of the week.
