Halloween Countdown: Choosing a costume

It's a little rainy this morning, so I stayed in bed and read one of my older R.L. Stine Goosebumps book—he's one of my favourite authors and I can always count on him for "safe scares."

And it doesn't look like we're going to be doing too much—Mom says today is "prep for the week day," which means Amelia and I will be cleaning our rooms, and helping out with other chores. <groan>

BUT, that doesn't mean I'm not thinking about Halloween.

As you know, dressing up is one of my favourite activities of the season—even though half the time, I end up going trick-or-treating as Superman, the best comic book character in the universe. (Well, besides "comic book me" of course!)

Superman is my go-to costume. It already fits, people know it's me when I come to their door for treats (or tricks), and "Superman" is my nickname. But I also love Frankenstein, and I look pretty cool as a green monster. It's just that neither of those costumes is very warm, and judging by the weather already, I predict a cold Halloween.

So, I could go as one of the creatures from Beneath the SOIL—like the spider, which is pretty creepy. The costume itself is furry, and warm... Or, there's always my astronaut get-up where I channel the great Canadian astronaut, Robert Thirsk. He's featured in the Superman Duffy graphic novel It's A Blast!

So many choices. And don't get me started on some of the cool costumes I've seen at the stores—characters from Star Wars, Harry Potter, and so many more! It's mind boggling.

Which is why I need YOU to make a decision. No, really. I can't do it. Scroll down to see what I look like in each of the four costumes I mentioned above. Vote for your favourite...or leave an idea for something different in the comments below.





See, they're all pretty great, right? I know, there's still 10 sleeps to Halloween (10!)...but time goes quickly.

Gotta jet! See you tomorrow for more Halloween Countdown fun.
