'Cause this is thriller. Thriller night. And no one’s gonna save you. From the beast about to strike.' You can not not think about this song on the night of 31st October, Halloween. It isn't so much about 'trick or treat' for kids in India, the festival is yet to catch on. But for adults, it is an excuse to party. Well, because why not! But if you are going to do it, do it right. Celebtrate the spirit of Halloween – be scary! Or even better, if you happen to be a motoring enthusiast, manage to get one of these cosplays:

Ghost Rider: Immensely popular the world over, Ghost Rider is quite the Halloween costume. Not very difficult to bring together, you could arrange for leathers with pointy and pinchy metal on it. (Try not to be Ross Gellar in leather pants though!). When I say easy to arrange, setting your head on fire may be a little difficult, so go for a mask or makeup, if you will.

Mad Max: This one of the few films that are very appropriately described by their names. Max truely was mad. Bring out your old white t-shirt, tie all the belts in the house on your torso, paint half your skull black and to finish the 'Furiosa' look, roll in dirt – a lot of dirt. A similar drill for 'Max Rockatansky' look.
-
Speed Racer: A cartoon show from the 60s, even some 90s kids will remember the Speed Racer in his sharp looking white race car. This one's actually quite simple to do. Blue t-shirt (you could paint a big 'G' on it), white trousers, brown shoes, a red scarf and of course, a white helmet.
-
Pit crew: Racing drivers are quick, aren't they? But while they're quick in the car or on a motorcycle, the pit crew has to have lightening quick reactions during a pitstop. Overalls or matching lower and tee with motorsport stickers on and a helmet or a pair of giant headphones should do it. Fun fact: the world's fastest pit stop was done by Felipe Massa's crew in 1.92 seconds.

The Perils of Penelope Pitstop: Speaking of pitstops, remember Penelope Pitstop and her pink race car. Not being a female chauvinist, but this one's only for ladies. But those ladies have to have a deep love for pink, because Miss Pitstop was all about driving fast and being fabulous! [Image: (inset) Escapade Fancy Dress]
