Our Spookiest (Or Kookiest) Costumes

WRIS Team

This week we asked the staff “What was the spookiest (or kookiest) costume you’ve ever worn?”


Carmen: I dressed as bacon and eggs as a child (Thanks Mom!).  Now I find pleasure it subjecting my own kids to embarrassing costumes.  My personal favorite was when they were both skunks.


Adam: I’ve been random zombies, ghouls and hobos throughout my trick-or-treat days. Nothing really jumps out as all that “Kooky” or “Spooky” – guess I’d be pretty lame at a costume party now a days.


Sandy: Like Adam, I’m lame about dressing in costume. I remember being various witches and ghosts as a kid. Nothing particularly spooky or kooky.


Charlie: One time I put Elmer's glue all over myself and rolled in a leaf pile.  I told everybody I was Leaf Man, I got in trouble that night.  I miss my twenties some times.

Salli: The most recent costume I tried was Steve from "Blue's Clues".  The kooky part was that I thought kids would know who I was at first glance.  Not so much.  And I disagree with Charlie...he dressed up as 'House' a couple years ago, and it was spooky how much he looked like him!


Debbie: I was never really a spooky costume person.  My favorite as a kid was a stewardess (dating myself - now "flight attendant")  As an adult  - probably Betty Rubble from the Flintstones!


Bonny: I love Halloween because I have small children and we host an annual chili party but I personally have never been a fan of dress up.  I have a no face paint rule.  I usually pull out the black cat ears and call it a day.
