While some people prefer fictional characters to use as costumes, such as Frankenstein or Snoopy, other people prefer real life heroes and villains. Who is your favorite historical figure to use as a Halloween costume? How did you put together the costume? Share Your Favorite

Shaq

I tried to dress up as Shaq one year...I even got stilts so I'd be taller but no one knew who I was :(

Marilyn Monroe

This might be one of the most recognizable costumes, but it's really fun to be a blonde at least once a year :) However, if I was a true daredevil, I would love to dress up as Lorena Bobbitt, but I'm not sure that would be an appropriate costume for every Halloween party...lol
