What was your first Halloween costume?

I wasn’t allowed to Trick or Treat as a kid, so I only started dressing up for Halloween during my university years.

My first costume for Halloween was an army cadet. Student budget and all that! 😂

What was yours?

I started early, mum loves Halloween!  My first outfit was Count Dracula. Pale face, nice shirt, fangs and a cape.  I refused to take it off!

An ancient Egyptian Mummy for a local party when I was still in single figures.

My parents weren't ever big Halloween people but I think one of my first was a witch. 

I wore all black and my mum tied a torn-open bin bag round my neck as a cloak We'd gone out earlier to find sticks to make a broom, I made a hat out of black cardboard and carried a black toy cat. 

Did anyone else's parents get creative with household items?

My first costume was a mummy because my Mum worked as a nurse so had access to lots of bandages

Brilliant @66Mustang

We did toilet paper mummies once too, I don't think they lasted very long though! Resourceful people, parents!

These all make me feel nostalgic. As although we didn't trick or treat, we watched other kids. I remember seeing the bin bag capes @Rosie_Scope  😂

@Biblioklept It does count! It does also make me think of my friend who dressed up as a Jedi for my heroes vs villains birthday fancy dress. He wasn't allowed the lightsaber in the nightclub as it was "classed as a weapon". So, everyone kept asking him why he came dressed as Jesus 😂😂😂

My parents were not in to halloween, but yes, bin bags came into play as costumes. I don't think we went trick or treating either. Or did pumpkins. I used the witch costumes as easy.

I think trick or treating has become more popular the last decade I love seeing all the costumes!
