Halloween Costumes and Chat up Lines
As you know if you’ve been to a fancy dress party, it seems to give the ability and the bravura to do things you wouldn’t normally do… and one of these is to use some outrageous chat up lines.
There are three easy and sexy halloween costumes that have particularly good chat up lines: witch fancy dress, devil fancy dress and vampire fancy dress.
Here’s a taster, click on the links to see videos with example costumes and chat up lines to go with them.
“What blood type are you?”
“What are you doing when the sun comes up?”
“Wow, I haven’t seen you in centuries!”
“Come down and see me sometime”
“You’re making me horny”
“You look hot tonight”
“Fancy a ride on my broom?”
“You’ve put a spell on me”
“Excuse me, have you seen my newt?”
Cheap Halloween Costume Ideas
With Halloween coming up it’s always the time to think “what can I do differently this year? What will make an impact? What will make me look good but still fit with the spirit of Halloween?”.
Depending on your circumstances there are various ideas – if you are looking for something inexpensive, if you want to look sexy while still fitting with the Halloween theme, if you want a couples themed costume or if you need a specific type of costume for a themed party.
One easy and inexpensive Halloween fancy dress idea is to take an existing costume and turn it into the ghost or zombie version of the same costume.
For example if you have a nurse’s or doctor’s costume or a french maid outfit it’s very easy to make the zombie version. Mess up your hair or wear a grey/white wig, paint your face white with big dark patches around your eyes, tear any parts of your costume you don’t care about or add torn tights and walk like a zombie with your hands out in front of you screaming for brains! There are also ready made versions of nurse of death or doctor death if you don’t feel like getting creative… you’ll find a good selection at Nurse Fancy Dress.
The ghost idea is similar and another great idea for turning an existing costume into the Halloween version. Think Pirates of the Carribean with ghost pirates; If you already have a pirate costume you can add a skeleton t-shirt underneath for example or there are ghost pirate costumes available at Pirate Fancy Dress for under £25.
You could also be any historical character coming back as a ghost or any famous character who died; particularly one who who was murdered or died in mysterious circumstances. With make up you can add bullet holes, a noose or something that represents how they died.. as well as white face make up and blood of course!
And of course you can be a devil, ghost, witch, vampire, cat or bat. Though the idea may not seem as creative in the first place there are some fantastic costumes available for a reasonable price that will still make you stand out from the rest. Check out these sexy halloween costumes, some of which are under £25.
Top 10 Fancy Dress Ideas
Fancy Dress parties are usually the best fun parties to host or to attend. A theme gives the party extra life, everyone has to make that extra bit of effort to attend and the costumes give a talking point, something in common and somehow seem to loosen inhibitions!
I love fancy dress parties and events and have hosted or attended so many of them over the years that I think I can give some good ideas for setting up a fancy dress party to make it a success or attending a fancy dress party in the best possible costume!
Here are my top 10 fancy dress picks – in no particular order:
1. Naughty uniform fancy dress – this gives scope to dress up as a nurse, fireman, soldier, policeman…all the obvious uniform costumes but also school uniforms, cheerleaders and many more! The naughty bit means you leave out bits of the costume – such as the fireman wearing braces over no shirt – or add fishnet stockings and garters with many other uniforms and wear the short version! Most of the uniform costumes come with naughty versions as well as the more “authentic” versions.
2. Pirate fancy dress party – we hired a boat on Sydney harbour for this one – don’t forget to bring your plank! Epecially since the Pirates of the Carribean movies there are lots of fantastic costumes available. And there are so many funny – don’t expect them to be successful – pirate chat up lines!
3. The other similar style party in terms of behaving badly is the Viking Fancy Dress theme!
4. Beach party – this is always good for a cheap fancy dress party. Everyone has some sort of hawaiian shirt, sundress or pair of shorts. I went to a party in Germany in February once where you had to wear traditional German Dirndls and Lederhosen or else beach wear!
5. Rubiks cube party – you could incorporate this with 80′s fancy dress if you choose. Arrive in 6 colours and leave in 1! This party idea leads to all sorts of strategizing and scheming to get the full complement of your chosen colour!
6. Adventurers and Explorers – think Mike and Mal, cavemen, animals, scientists, backpackers, mountain climbers, potholers… lots of room for imaginative costumes at this one. We went as one Fred Flintstone with 6 Wilmas traipsing behind him – caused quite a stir!
7. Burlesque or Moulin Rouge fancy dress – the costumes are fabulous, the room is alive and over all it’s a great chance to feel sexy and bring out the inner diva! Check out some of these burlesque costumes for ideas. You can also put together your own starting from a corset – the key piece of any good burlesque costume.
8. Doctors and nurses is always a popular and fun fancy dress theme. There are heaps of sexy nurses costumes available and some fantastic doctor and nurse chat up lines!
9. Historical costumes are another theme that people find easy to dress up for. Egyptian fancy dress, Roman fancy dress and Greek fancy dress are separate themes in themselves and all have very elegant costumes. Or you could leave it as a broader theme such as “ancient civilizations” and let people choose for themselves.
10. If you want to encourage people to be creative and come up with unusual ideas then it’s good to leave the theme very broad. For example a friend’s recent 40th had the theme 1969. There were astronauts, hippies, mods and various characters famous in that year. Similarly you can just give a letter, or a couple of letters. I went to one in France with “lu” as the theme, I was a lamp (lumiere), one guy was a biscuit (LU is a brand of biscuits), there was a bag lady (hurluberlu in french) and an English friend dressed as the London Underground! This type of loose theme can be a bit demanding for those who are not that creative and it is sometimes offputting for guests.
Depending on your friends and how creative they are, it can often be easier to keep the themes simple and even point them to a good costume website so they can make ordering costumes simple.
