Danni's Doorstep: Creative Halloween Costumes

As we get closer to Halloween, one of my favorite holidays, the age old question of, "what am I going to be?" pops into my head. Fed up with being Hermione again, or reusing my Legends of the Hidden Temple costume from last year (as awesome as it was!), I felt I needed something new and something cheap if my wallet has anything to do with it.

So I went to work scouring the web for creative or funny homemade costumes. There were some really good ones, really bad ones, and some that I just didn't get. Here are some great costumes I saw:

Your favorite commercial character. 

A loofah.

Russell and Carl from Up!

And we know that we will get our lady gaga's, draculas, any member of the Jersey Shore, and of course the age old sexy kitten, sexy nurse, sexy _____ (fill in blank with any generic female role). But I never want to be those age old characters I want something new, something different, something out of the box!

After hours of searching, I have an idea for this year. If I can pull it off, I think it will turn out really well. (Check back after Halloween to see what I went as)

So now I want to know: What are you planning on being? What are some of the most creative costumes you've seen?

...Do you smell what I'm steppin' in?
