11 Halloween Costumes That Are Perfect For Someone In West Virginia
Halloween is right around the corner, and it’s never too early to start thinking of what you want to be. If you’re looking for something unique, here are some ideas for West Virginians.
Also known as the Braxton County Monster, the Flatwoods Monster is the alien that was reportedly seen in Flatwoods in 1952. For this costume, wear a long black dress and make a sort of cardboard cutout for the thing behind its head. Put makeup on your eyes to make them look big and red. Boom, you’re the Flatwoods Monster.
Go as the lovable president of West Virginia University, Gordon Gee. You just need a nice suit, bow tie and round glasses. Bonus if you carry a selfie stick and take pictures of yourself with people.
You just need a dark mustache and a suit.
Wear red sunglasses or a mask or something else that makes your eyes look red and beady. Put some wings on and you’ve got the Mothman, sorta.
Wear a coonskin hat, leather jacket and pants and a carry fake rifle to be the mascot for the West Virginia University Mountaineers.
Wear a black sweatshirt and sweat pants, put some black paint on your face to look like coal dust and wear sign on your chest that says “War.” Or maybe put on an army helmet if you have one.
I know she doesn't have a tie to West Virginia but she was a very news worthy person this year. This one’s easy: pick up a pair of glasses, an ankle-lenghth skirt and a wig with long hair. Go around refusing to sign anything all night.
Go as the chemical that was spilled into the water supply last year. (Is it too soon to make that joke? I don't think so.) Just wear a sweat shirt with a sign that says MCHM attached to it.
Dress up like you think a hillbilly would. Call yourself a Kentuckian.
Go as the former executive of Freedom Industries, the company at the center of the 2014 chemical leak into the Elk River. Just put on suit jacket (no tie), talk in a British accent, and continually sip water from a water bottle and tell people about how long your day has been. Bonus if you get a friend to go as a TV news reporter who tells you keeps asking you questions even though you say you're tired. Click here if you don't know what I'm referencing.
Recreate the iconic yellow wrapper from Tudor’s and go as a Dottie or a Mountaineer biscuit. One option would be to wrap yourself in yellow paper with the Tudor’s logo drawn onto it.
Are you going as anything West Virginia-related this year? Let me know in the comments.
