My Hallowe'en costume:


Black robe, red LEDs on my glasses and home-made stilts to take me up to 7'8".



I actually made a kid piss himself two years ago.


Edit: I also use this costume when trying to raise money on comic relief. You'd be amazed how fast people pay up.

Making it isn't the hard part
But getting good at stilt walking takes a lot of practice and a fair bit of pain. You also have to watch out for low doors. I nearly knocked myself out (while falling off the stilts of course) when I thought I had made it through a door and straightened up. I hadn't.
