You may or may not have noticed that I’m trying to keep things seasonal around here with some semi-scary (or seasonably appropriate) movie posts, drink recipes, and now some fun costume ideas for the up-and-coming holiday we all fear and dread. Just kidding, I know you’re looking forward to it! Excuses for binge candy eating and dressing up in crazy clothes? Yeah, I’m in.

If you follow me on Twitter, you might know what I’ve been cooking up for this year’s costume. But don’t think that I haven’t considered being Tippi Hedren’s Melanie Daniels every. single. year. Maybe one of these days I’ll actually do it. But in case you’re interested, here are some ingredients I found available online for your very own costume from The Birds.
