Animal Costumes Archives

Ok so i am doing a "Broken Doll" costume like the doll girls in The Doll Factory Maze at Knotts Scary Farm.

I already did my make up and dress yesterday, but i think something should be added to make it look more scary or more like the girls from the maze.

here are some pics:

(BTW: Hahaha i was trying to be in character)

I know the girl dolls have like Corsets, but does anyone know where i could get a cheap one?

And if you have any other ideas that i should maybe add to my costume please let me know.

Thanks to all who help!!! <33

I grew up on a farm next to a larger farm that belonged to my best friend Annie’s parents. We were two little girls whose families were too busy for us and our days were spent making dreams come true.

We found thrown out bikes in the neighbors trash and that neighbor helped us get them running, I painted mine fuchsia with sixties style daisies, Annie copied the fuchsia but put happy faces on hers. We found old wood in the barn to make a Barbie dream house like the one we saw on TV only it didn’t really look the same when we were finished. We decorated its interior with material our mom’s tossed out and made a few dresses by cutting holes for the head and arms and tying the waste with hay bail rope. They were the prettiest dresses I ever had because I made them and told stories about my great talents to people who liked listening to me.

We learned to swim in another neighbor’s pool. No one else on that secluded dead end road socialized with the two female teachers who bought a farm and appeared to be a couple. I am still friends with one of them, the other passed away a few years back. She brought culture into Annie’s and my life and encouraged us to behave like little ladies.

Each Halloween we spent days making our costumes and laughed for days after remembering compliments each neighbor made while eating candy bought special for us, because we were the only remaining young children on that road. Alone in the dark we walked through the woods, scared and clinging to each other, to the houses at the end of the road…

We accepted each others wonders about boys and sought answers that didn’t really pan out as truths. But most importantly, we healed each others childhood wounds.

I don’t wish to return to a time when I had limited control of my fate but I wish everyone else didn’t stop chasing dreams. So what if it doesn’t work, wouldn’t it be really cool if it did or better yet a different result is achieved that is bigger and better?

OK, so we are going to a campground (state park) in our area for halloween that has this big to do and costume contest, campsite decorating contest, etc. My best friend and her fam are coming with us, so we will have....

one girl and 4 boys ages are from 5 (the girl) - 13

Are the "mazes" at Knotts Scary Farm actually mazes, or are they just walk-through things? Some of the Youtube videos look like mazes, others, the person is just wandering around.
God, I'm so going to die this Sunday. Just watching this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=cw-BlaA6ORg) VIDEO freaks me out. I had to mute the volume to watch it all the way through, and it still made me jump. Haha. My friends are going to have to DRAG me in. They jump out of nowhere in these creepy, bloody costumes.... Oh god... I got scared watching the Scooby Doo movie in 5th grade. I'm gonna grab my friends in death grips, all the way through each of the mazes.
I meant "some of the videos look like walk-throughs." Sorry.

My husband is the Chaplain for a local group home and we are talking about putting on a Live Nativity. Can anyone help me? We have no idea about how to set it up, how many actors are needed, what costumes. We do have a farm with goats, horses and donkeys. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I need one because my friends are being farm animals and we need a duck costume. Where can I find one? I've already searched a bunch of places.

Looking at the Miss Universe candidates native dress each wore for their introduction video, you see everything from folklore lions, to peasant farming gowns, to our very own Miss USA in a white jumpsuit with a guitar painted like the American flag, honoring her hometown, and Elvis. While she was not alone in her eccentric play on the category, do you think she should have worn the get-up? Past Miss USA's opted for a southern belle costume, or something from precolonial days going native american.

Here's a good pic of all the costumes: http://www.fundistraction.com/2007/05/miss-universe-2007-in-national-costumes.html

I like the furry arms and legs. It is furry and cute but not toooo animal looking. I still want to look girly.

try to avoid cat and bunny costumes. they are too typical

Thank you for the help (:

I read the book about a month ago, and I just watched to movie tonight. In it is somebody dressed in a fuzzy animal mascot looking costume in a room with a guy. I vaguely remember it from the book, but could somebody refresh my memory as to why someone was dressed in an animal costume? Thanks.

I need some ideas for an animal costume. I want to do it myself and spend very little. Thanks

I plan on being carrie for halloween, I have the prom dress costume covered. but the blood part, no.
I have a hard time figuring out the blood part, I don't know what to use since the fake blood comes in small quantities, it would be pricey getting a decent amount needed, and stuff like ketchup stinks, and I got in trouble with my neighbor for trying to kill his pigs on his farm, so any suggestions?

I was just playing about the pig part, I don't even live next to a farm, more likely touch a live pig with a 50ft pole, or eat pork. just in the halloween spirit. lol
and is there any way you can think of to apply the blood on my face area where I can still look hot. lol

I need help in making cost-effective, easy and simple animal costumes for 7-9 year olds. Any ideas?

I'm looking for a hat like this, dog or cat, for my Fennec. Preferably accomodating his large ears?

I'm going to a local shelter benefit for Halloween and there's a little costume contest they're having, so I figured I'd do something easy that won't stress him out haha. Any ideas?

i am going to knotts scary farm on october 6th and i was just wondering if i should wear my angel costume that i got. or i was either thinking wearing all white and just wear my angel wings. well what do you guys think i should do?????

It was really funny sketch comedy. The actors would sometimes wear big animal costumes and do silly things, like a guy in a dog suit would chase a guy in a cat suit around the city, or a guy dressed as a turtle would cross the street very slowly, and so on. I think it was British because all the scenes seemed to take place in London. Please help...I loved this show!

We have a costume dress up day tommorow at work (I work in cube farm), and I'm trying to come up with a hilarious original costume.....any ideas?

In the music video there is a group singing (obviously) and they are in a hotel. they walk into a room and there is a group of people in those big animal costumes playing cards. the animals then begin dancing with the music. i really like this song but i can't remember how it goes or the name. does anybody have anyidea of the song im talking about?

I want do do something cutteee :]
And like, easy to do.
I was thinking of doing a homemade animal costume, like a cat or a rabbit. hehe

If you have easy cute ways to do this so that it doesn't look awkward at even school, that would be nice!

Or can you give me some more ideas?

Thank you!

I don't want to wear the typical lingerie + some kind of animal ears "slutty costume", but something different that not everyone sees at halloween.....

I've been a sexy magician once, with the short shorts, tail coat, top hat and fish net stockings before and I really liked it cause my boobs weren't hanging out but it was still sexy....so something like that?
