[QUOTE="kevinatfms, post: 12298644, member: 39344"] headless horseman....best halloween costume i ever did and cannot be topped. here is what i did over the course of a week. i had a friend whose parents owned a horse that was all black but had some white hair/spots, we dyed the horse spots black and dyed the hair with non permanent dye. i had to pay for feed for a week, proper shoes for pavement and give my buddy a nice bottle of whiskey but he was game to help and thought it was a great idea. as for the costume, i used black leather riding boots, black riding pants, a black shirt, black leather vest and a black overcoat which had a plastic jig sewn into it that raised it above my shoulders about 3 inches. i bought a flat top hat and had it sewn into the top of the jacket so it basically leveled my head to my fake "shoulders". the day of halloween we spread old signs(all wood and age them with a torch) around the neighborhood to watch for the headless horseman and a few missing posters(made from wood also) of dr ichibod crane. at 6pm we trailered the horse from the barn to a little u-turn side street and unloaded the horse. we walked up and down the street going house to house to tell the parents of the kids that we were doing this to avoid any confusion or trouble. most were very happy that we were going all out and wanted to help. at 9pm the parents/kids all were out trick or treating when my buddy in 1600's attire ran down the street screaming at the top of his lungs about how the headless horseman was coming....then i rode down, mini "head" pumpkin and all. kids were scared to death. i have never seen them run so fast. it was great, parents went along with it perfectly. if i can dig up some pictures on my old hard drive ill post them up, got a TON of compliments and was mentioned in the local city newspaper about it. EDIT: PLEASE, if you try this, GET A PUBLIC DISPLAY PERMIT(or something like it). i had to pay a very hefty fine after the fact which was later refunded when my neighbors petitioned the county to get my money back. it was considered a good deed after everything was refunded.
