Once upon a time I went out dressed as a mummy, wrapped in toilet roll. Perhaps it's that I'm more precious about toilet roll since the pandemic, but this idea strikes me as rather wasteful now!

Former MSE Becky blogged about making fake blood using syrup, red food colouring and cocoa powder:

I've seen some Instagram videos recently where people wear trousers on their top half and tops on their legs to make it look like they are walking around upside down, I think a lot of kids would find this quite entertaining and it wouldn't cost anything. Back to front could be fun too, they'd have to walk up to each house backwards.

My favourite outfit my mum made me for Halloween was a witches outfit out of black binbags but I am talking about 30yrs ago now. 

I also remember it being very itchy lol.
