The Halloween Handbook 447 Costumes (Paperback) Reviews
The collaborative effort of Halloween costume experts and enthusiasts Bridie Clark and Ashley Dodd, The Halloween Handbook: Dress-Up For Grown-Ups showcases 447 imaginative, easy-to-make, do-it-yourself costume concepts. From traditional favorites such as Wonder Woman or Peter Pan, to more eyebrow-raising unique costumes like the One-Night Stand (the costumegoer appears as an actual stand with lampshade over the head, bra and pantyhouse dangling on the tablecloth) or the Green Card (wearing a large green sandwich board humorously displaying a parody what a real green card looks like). Black-and-white photographs illustrate fun, zany, sometimes edgy ideas with practical suggestions to efficiently and frugally make a Halloween guise to remember. Especially recommended not only for Halloween, but as a source of ideas for costume parties year round or even school and community theater apparel.
This book is awful. Black and white pictures of celebrities like Judge Judy, Mick Jagger, Evel Knievel and Monika Lewinsky with the implication that you can too can look like them. The cover shows lovely color costumes and the inside is black and white photos, most of which aren’t costumes. The cover also says that there are 447 costumes. I don’t consider pictures of celebrities a “costume” . There is practically no instruction what so ever. Don’t be tricked into buying this book. The cover is designed to mislead and hook amazon customers who can’t see the inside.
