Have you decided yet what you want to be this Halloween? I know, I know; decisions decisions. The good news is that our current costume choice is phenomenal. I can hardly decide what I want to go as. My wife wants me to be Count Dracula and my daughter wants me to be a scary werewolf like she is. Personally I don't think either sound ideal. One thing I do know is I want whatever costume I choose to be authentic and original. You know, not one of those tacky get-ups that half your town is traipsing around in. I want to stand out on this spooky night of ghouls, ghosts and goblins. Maybe I should find a medieval costume and go as a knight or one of those brutal hooded savages that do the dirty work for the king. Either way, I definitely know where I'm going to find my unique costume.
Last Halloween I saw a great variety of costumes. You name it, I spotted it. A Superman costume, The Crow, The Matrix, Freddy Kruger, Michael Myers, Bart Simpson, a medieval costume, and even a condom. Yes, I know it sounds bizarre. However, if you plan on venturing down Franklin Street, Chapel Hill on Halloween night, then you'd better plan on seeing some funky and risque stuff. After all, it is a college town, which means it's jam packed with college students. Not to mention all the other folks that draw in from far and wide. Now, don't get me wrong. There's no bigger bash than Halloween night on Franklin Street. You can meet tons of cool people and just take in all the madness. But I will warn you; find an outstanding get-up. If you want to wear a medieval costume, then go for it. But make it amazing. There is a great deal of competition down there and you've got to be on top of your game.
If you want to find a great medieval costume locally, I can't help you. However, if you're ready to join the present, then it's as easy as pie. Pop open that Mac or Dell notebook. Google search for a medieval costume or any costume for that matter. If it is available somewhere, then you will find it on the web. And don't be afraid to concoct your own medieval costume. Find a variety of products and attire online to throw together your own unique outfit. This way it will be totally yours.
