This Halloween is all about Creative, Original, Humorous and Classic Costumes
While you could run out to Target or The Spirit store and grab a pre-fab costume, you could also put your own spin one you buy or one you can make yourself. Make your costume uniquely yours with a few twists or make a statement with a completely original costume. Some you can do with things right from your closet, while others require an artistic eye and make-up skills. If you’re still in need of a Halloween Costume for Swing Spooktacular this Tuesday or Salsalloween on Wednesday, then check out these 30 costume ideas from Film, Music, Pop Culture Meme’s and more…
