Classic zombies are always fun, right? You know not so gory, very little blood, not too scary, lots of ghoulish fun!

A couple weeks before Halloween the fiance suggests we make masks and be the the Maitlands from Beetlejuice. She had suggested this a year or two before and I was afraid of the complexity of the masks, especially Barbaras.

This costume rocked! Someone said this costume was, “Original, scary and pretty at the same time!” My daughter wanted a unique look. (Or, maybe she wanted to make my life difficult for a bit, ha!)
