2012 Best Halloween Costume Winners

Best Halloween Costume 2012 Grassy Knoll Institute

For 2012, the Dark Zone has more than one winner for the best Halloween costume. Every year I travel to many trade shows and conventions and of course the Halloween themed ones are the most fun. I snapped this photo at the January 2012 Halloween show inside the George R. Brown convention center in Houston, Texas.

I have to give props to these models as their job is far more difficult than it looks. These women must stay in costume for 8 hours a day usually changing costumes several times a day. Notice the shoes they are wearing. Imagine standing in those puppies all day. The Dark Zone salutes you.

PS: Click the photo twice to enlarge to read what the sign says the blonde is holding.

Happy Halloween 2012

Best Halloween Costume #3 - A Pink Nightmare

One of the most popular Christmas holiday movies is the 1983 hit, A Christmas Story. Over the years it has become a cult classic as replica’s of the props from the movie have become sought after gifts for birthdays and Christmas. I have the leg lamp.

In the past several years, A Christmas Story has filtered into the Halloween Holiday. The Pink Nightmare, (Ralphies Christmas present from his aunt, a complete pink colored bunny suit made for a girl) a full sized leg lamp, and the FRAGILE crate the leg lamp was delivered in.

I guarantee that you will see one of these Halloween costumes at one of your parties this October.

Happy Halloween

Best Halloween Costume #1 - Watermelon Smile

Meet Laughing Lisa, the Joey Chestnut of watermelon eating fame. Lisa ate 55 watermelon halves in 5 minutes. Her face paint is fantastic and her watermelon prop completes her costume. A most excellent post to kick off the 2011 Best Halloween Costume.

Happy Halloween
