Halloween Costume

[Eltern]

This Saturday my girlfriend and I will be going to a Halloween Dance, and we want to dress as "Dungeons and Dragons." One of us will be dressed as a Dungeon, and the other a Dragon. The problem is we don't know how to do this effectively.

How do two people dress like "D&D" in a funny manner? We want to be clever, and possibly take a bit of thinking to identify, but not -too- wonky.

Thoughts so far for "Dungeon":
Wear torn, dirty, white clothes and handcuffs. Put dirt on your face and limbs. Could be mistaken for a zombie.

Dress like a dominatrix. Doesn't immediately provoke "dungeon" though.

Wear a shirt with some sort of clever representation of a dungeon on it. What to use?

Thoughts so far for "Dragon":
Face paint, painted cardboard wings that match the color of the shirt. Easy, but not clever and a little lame.

Wear a Trogdor shirt. I have one, but it would only work well if "Dungeon" was represented by a shirt.

Dress as the Grand Imperial Dragon (of the KKK). Half the people will think you're a ghost, and the other half won't like you anymore.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Maybe the dungeon costume could be some sort of cubist nightmare, with 10' marked on each side of the cubes?

Dungeon: Big cardboard box, painted as a dungeon cell. In the front, have a pair of skinny, raggeddy, prisoner hands grasping the bars of the cell door window.

Dragon: Think chinese. Dragon mask, red clothing (possibly embroidered with dragons), red scales painted over visibile flesh.

For Dungeon, I'm thinking of someone basically wearing a big cardboard box, painted to look like they are in a dungeon cell. you could have a little barred window at the front so that you could actually see where you are going.

For dungeon, get a white t-shirt and draw a dungeon map on it.

There's two ways to do it, one is with wordplay, and the other is just dressing the part.

With wordplay:

I would have the male dressed in disheveled clothes, shirt buttoned up wrong, hair a mess, and lipstick marks all over the shirt and face. He would be a "Done John" (the male customer of a prostitute who has had services rendered). The woman would be dressed in a gown, preferably with a train. From different parts of her body have strings and chains connected or tied to other small various items that she is pulling along the floor when she moves. Thus she would be Draggin. Hence; Done John & Draggin.

Or, to just dress the part:

For Dungoen I'd recommend gray makeup, to cover all exposed skin, and a gray T-shirt and slacks. Use a Black grease pencil for the skin and black sharpie for the clothing, and draw a brick pattern over everything. Accent with chains, cobwebs, and if you're ambitious, a torch sticking out of your chest or back. The dragon would dress in a single iconic metallic or chromatic color, use makeup to add appropriate design to face, and don't forget matching nail polish for claws. Spike hair into horns or fins if possible. Cardboard wings can end up looking really cheesy, go with a matching cape, cut semicircles from the bottom to acheive wing effect, perhaps even add semi-rigid spokes to enhance effect.
