Halloween Costume Ideas for Adults

My husband and I have been invited to an adult halloween party and need to think of an original costume idea. There is a contest for the funniest, most original, best pair, etc. We are at a creative loss for thinking of ideas! The costumes we choose have to be easy to travel with (the party is out of town) and not too scary. It has been almost 20 years since my last halloween party! (that year I was "the devil with the blue dress on") Any ideas?

Thank you so much for all your ideas. I have given a list to my husband to see what he likes. I'll let you know what we end up doing!

I always thought it was fun to see people dressed as related people or items like Peter Pan and Tinkerbell, a bottle of wine and a corkscrew, or as each other.

One year, 4 friends each dressed as a Scrabble tile (E, I, L, V). Others had fun rearranging them to spell words. If you like that idea, you could decorate a shirt to look like part of a Scrabble board. Attach a velcro strip along one row of squares. Cut out several squares from felt or posterboard and write a letter on each. Attach velcro to the backs so they adhere to the shirt but can be rearragned.

Have fun!

My favorite one was Coroner and Dead Body. You can just put the word "Coroner" on the back of a windbraker and the other person wear all black with white chalk or tape out lining the other person's body (or paint "x" of the eyes, or a bullet hole in the person's head).

Dorothy and one of the dudes from the Wizard of Oz, wouldn't ruby slippers be fun.

Thing one and thing two from Dr Suess, color your hair with Halloween spray and write the numbers on your shirts.

I went shopping with my 17 year old daugther at Wal0mart and they had the best costumes but our favorite "couple outfit" was the cave man and cave woman!

They had so many adult costumes there - I was surprized. She is tring to get her band director to let them dress-up for thier last football game on the 30th!
