stewie GIFThe Dead Bringer....
I'm going to dress up in my renaissance clothes and pull a wagon around the neighborhood shouting, "Bring out your dead!"
I've spent the last two weeks trying to gauge how inappropriately appropriate it would be to dress as a plague doctor this year.
I've run the idea by a few people I know, concerned that it might be a little insensitive. Some think it would be. But I'm afraid my love for the idea might overcome my sense of propriety.
Seeing Red
make up laugh GIF by maskworld.comGiphyGet some red contacts and go to work as if nothing's wrong.
Trick or Treat
Put treats in individual snack baggies on a table on my front lawn. I will replenish in between groups.
I am encouraging my neighbors to do this too. Baggies of candy on the lawn, lining the sidewalk. Homeowners 6 feet away at their homes/front doors.
Also, we will have a costume parade for the young kiddies at a set time, all groups staying 6 feet apart, just walking a set path in a circuit around the neighborhood.
Small Party
tom cruise vampires GIFGiphySame as every year, Virgin sacrifice followed by vampire orgy.
What is wrong with you? You cant possible ensure social distancing at an orgy.
Darkness....
Shutting off all the lights, ignoring the doorbell and watching a movie.
Same. I was considering giving out candy, but nah. It seems like most people aren't planning on taking their kids out anyway in my area.
Sounds like a typical Halloween to me!
Tradition.
jason voorhees horror GIFGiphyLike me n the boys always do: play horror games together on Discord. Gotta keep up the tradition, worldwide pandemic or not!
Who Knows....
Hopefully by being scary/weird for the poor kids on our street who have been cooped up for 6 months and deprived of a social life. I don't know if we're handing out candy because Covid, etc. but we're going to try to make it special for the little folk somehow.
Wholesome Moon
Trick Or Treat Party GIF by Fleischer StudiosGiphyThis is the first time in a long time that it'll actually be cool on Halloween in my area. Plus we're going to have a full moon.
So. Roasting marshmallows over a fire pit. A movie screen & projector setup outside in the edge of the woods, with a marathon of Paranormal Activity movies playing. Homemade hot cocoa kept warm in a crock pot.
My fiancee & I curled up under a blanket, snuggling while watching the movies.
Thinking Ahead
A guy decorated a length of PVC pipe and attached it to the handrails along his front steps, angled down toward the sidewalk. He can shoot candy down the tube and kids can put their buckets under the pipe and catch it, hands-free. I can't wait!

UPSIDE DOWN REVERSE MAKEUP TUTORIAL YouTube
Taylor created an optical illusion that makes it appear like your head has been flipped...well, on its head! She told Teen Vogue about the inspiration behind her idea:
There has been a trend of reverse makeup lately in the beauty community, such as a feature being flipped upside down, the placing of makeup done in the opposite way, or the whole makeup routine done in reverse. I saw these videos and photos and wanted to try to flip all of my features — well, my whole head — upside down.
Wow I hate it!!! https://t.co/wDst4KvsD8— Teen Vogue (@Teen Vogue) 1539498906.0
Taylor gives detailed step-by-step instructions in her video, making the upside down-head process relatively easy to understand, though some of the techniques she uses are a bit tricky.
Even Taylor had to admit that, if she ever did this make-up again, she would use a prosthetic nose instead of crafting a new one out of spirit gum:
I think next time I would just use a prosthetic nose. There's a lot available now because of Halloween. This would make the look a lot easier and quicker to do. Another option is to just draw the nose on, I saw a few people do that and it still looks great!

Knowing the upside down head might be a challenge, Taylor concluded with an encouraging message to all viewers:
I have never worked with special effects makeup before, but I think if I can do it most of you reading can too!
Thanks, Taylor, we'll give it our best shot!
