Happy Hallowe’en friends! We’re closing things out with a something devilish. Hmmm…maybe some deviled eggs for the trick or treaters?
As I was trying to figure out who went with what for this theme, I was coming up short for two costumes. A traditional Hallowe’en monster is a werewolf, but how does that work for characters who are already animals? It just didn’t fit in my mind. That took one of the big pieces out of the puzzle. I hate zombies so there was no way I was doing that. Originally, Skitter was going to be a jack o’lantern, but I switched him to a hunchback lab assistant to round out the Frankenstein trio. The jack o’lantern didn’t feel right with anybody else so that was out. I thought of a scarecrow, but didn’t like that either. So then I thought of a devil for Chae. Great! But what about Red Rich? Maybe the Phantom of the Opera? Maybe, but that just felt like the vampire costume with a mask. I needed something and I just couldn’t figure out what. So I just decided to do a devil couple. The same argument could be made against the devil costume as I had for the Phantom of the Opera in that it feels kinda samey with the vampire costume, but there was nothing else I wanted to do and the Phantom pictures I was looking at weren’t working for me, so I went with the devil duo. And that’s the long of it.
And here they are.
Here’s Chae by herself. If not for the horns you couldn’t really tell she’s supposed to be a devil I think, but it’s a lovely dress.
And here’s Red Rich. It sorta works.
That’s all for the Hallowe’en fun. Next week we’ll get to those X-Men flashbacks I promised. Probably.
