A few years ago I saw a few Web page costumes that were kind of interesting, but I have an idea for an update that could really be sweet.

Get some friends together and be Facebook pages. Of course if it’s Halloween, You want something appropriate. Any good monster will have a fan page, Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolfman of course, but also Satan and numerous demons have fan pages. Satan’s wall should have posts from Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Joseph Stalin and the like. Those would be some good pages to be also, and you could have some really good banter going on between the pages.

You could really take this one over the top if you can put a portable DVD player in the costume and be a YouTube page. Don’t ask me how to do this; I’m the idea guy, not a fashion engineer.

Twitter is another ‘Net related theme that could be good. Twitter bluebird costumes are available, and of course you will want some clever tweets to “post” with some small hand held signs.  All within the 140 character limit, of course. A few should be really banal, “I’m sitting on the patio,” “I’m drinking a beer,” but a few could be really outrageous, depending on how adventurous you feel.

Jason Voorhees  from the Friday the 13th movies is another perenial Halloween favorite that can be transformed into a group costume.

One way is to have someone dress as Jason, and several victims for him to chase, maybe a few that he has already caught.

One of the continuing themes of the later movies is that someone is emulating Jason and copying his methods. Step this one up a little and get everyone into a group with hockey masks and machetes, but make it obvious that you are together and not actually Jason himself. You all wear WWJD t-shirts!

No, not what “would Jesus do”, but “what would Jason do?”

You’ll be a very striking group walking down the street, maybe even have some pamphlets to hand out evangelist style.

“Have you talked to God today? Jason could help you see Him sooner.”

Inappropriate? Hey, it’s Halloween! All the best costume ideas push a few buttons.

You could even combine these, mix and match, have fun! A set of Jason acolytes chasing randy camp counselors! Splash a bit of blod around for good effect.
Stay tuned for more group costume ideas.
