She burst into tears and hid behind her dad.The variation on the demon costume is the vampire costume I've always wanted to do, but never quite had the money for...  All black full-eye contact lenses, a set of dental-grade prsthetic fangs, and a pair of sunglasses, while wearing ordinary street clothes.  You keep the sunglasses on, and your mouth closed until it's time for the big reveal.This year I'm dressing up as Charlie Brown...  A white sheet full of holes, and a paper bag full of rocks.Finally, the best costume I ever wore...What you need:One serving cart of the sort used for room service -- It must have a lower shelf.One large metal serving tray with a domed cover.One table cloth long enough to entirely conceal the sides of the serving cart.Green lettuce leaves, carrots, cherry tomatoes, baby potatoes, and perhaps a sprig of parsley.A good friend in a chef costume.Cut a hole about a foot wide in the top shelf of the serving cart, the table cloth, and the serving tray.  If necessary, cover the edges of the hole in the cart and tray with a bit of duct tape in case of sharp edges. Put the table cloth on the cart, the tray on the table cloth. Line up the holes. Sit on the bottom shelf (a cushion or pillow is handy), and stick your head up through the holes. Have your friend artistically arrange the vegetables and garnish around your head (this conceals the hole). Cover your head with the domed lid, and let your chef-friend wheel you in.When the time is right, your friend lifts the lid with a flourish -- "Voila!"  And you wait a dramatic moment with your eyes closed, before you pop them open and with a big grin sing out, "I! Aint got no-body!  Hotcha-cha-cha! Cha-cha-cha!"</blockquote>
