Clown Halloween Costumes: The basic idea here is to use clothes that are too large. Use fabric paint, or markers for colors. Add a cheap wig, hat, and make-up. For the �big fat clown look�, stuff the extra space in clothing with crumpled papers or tissue.

Pirate Halloween Costumes: Wear old loose jeans with a striped top. Tie a bandana around your head, wear an eye patch and carry an empty bottle marked �x x x�. �Wrap a leg in brown felt to form a fake wooden leg.

The history of Halloween started with the ancient Celtics. They would throw a festival called Samhain. The festival was a time where it saw the end of summer and the beginning of winter. During the winter months, many people died. They believed on October 31st, the living and dead had no boundaries. They believed the dead came back to earth for this night. The festival would consist of people wearing costumes. This is where the idea of ghouls and goblins came about on this night and why it is tradition to dress up in costume on Halloween night.
