Help me brainstorm for Halloween

[Quasqueton]

Halloween is coming up. At my office of over 200 people, it is a major event. Everyone costumes up, either as an individual or in a group. I've done an individual costume every year, and I've got a reputation in the company as the best. (As a matter of fact, after I won the "Individual Best" award twice in a row, they started making muliple individual awards -- Best Individual Funny, etc. -- I now always get Best Individual Scary.)

Previous years, I have been:

Grim reaper
"Demon sorcerer"
Devil
Killer clown
Zombie

My costume is full -- clothes/robes, face make up and prosthetics, and props (scythe, knife, bloody heart, etc.).

This year, though, I'm having trouble coming up with something new and exciting. Y'all have any ideas? Whatever I do, it has to look good even in bright office lighting (TV/movie cameras and low lighting are a great help with prosthetics and makeup).

Give me some ideas, please. Preferably something "recognizable", because most of the people in the company don't "get" anything not immediately identifiable. Grim reaper and killer clown were good, demon sorcerer got "What are you supposed to be?"

A suit and tie with a briefcase and an "ID Card" that prominently reads "IRS, Legal Division". That ought to scare the bejesus out of just about anyone.

Failing that, if you can actually make prosthetics, perhaps a mind flayer.

Since you already have a reputation, it is time to spice things up by adding a little shock value (using humor). By the way, I like killer clowns

I can think of two outfits you might consider:

A cheerleader outfit. Yes, blow them away with those legs

Or better yet, I've seen some cow outfits that have utters on the front about stomach level. Walking around as a cow and shaking your utters at people is a good way to get attention

Use a box or similar lightweight stiff item. Stick your head through it. Put a lampshade over your face. Afix some condoms, an ashtray and an empty bottle of liquor to the surface.

You too can be a one-night stand.

Recognizably scary?

Jason Voorhees.

Easy recognizable and easy to do too.

How about a Kyton?

How about a Kyton?

I second the motion. Even if they don't recognize the D&D reference, shackle dragging spirits are classic.

Demiurge out.

...if it wasn't for the 'easily recognized' bit, I'd mention that one year I was Galactus.

That must have been hard on you.

Give me some ideas, please.

Will Ferrell's Cheerleader or Elf.
John Belushi's Samurai.
A Capital One Pillager.
Cheri Oteri's Cheerleader.
A Sailor Moon. (Be careful of showing your "moons" with them short skirts.)
A Drunk and Horny Harry Potter.
