This was mine last year; I'm 6' 4". Really comfortable, if you can get over the feeling of being naked on stage, oh yeah word of warning those Lycra jumpsuits show every lump and bump so pick your underwear carefully.

Lurch. Abe Lincoln. Andre the Giant (if you are bulky) Snow White (have the other guys dress like the 7 dwarves) or on the same note, Gargamel and they can be smurfs. Idk, pretty much anyone who is noticeably taller than others in a given situation should work.

I only dressed up once for a halloween show- I carved out a pumpkin from the bottom and wore it on my head. I lasted one song before i couldn't take it any more and I let the crowd smash it.

Easiest idea ever. Charlie Brown ghost costume. Get a white sheet from Walmart and spray paint black dots on it.

could always try and get a penis costume, works much better if you happen to be a big dick

It really doesn't matter because Halloween is really about women dressing up as sexy as possible. Everyone will be checking at the ladies ......the band costumes ...not so much.
