Newscast: 2016 Halloween weirdness

Costumes are getting weirder and weirder every year. On October 22, 2016 many costumes around Berwyn, IL caught people's attention. Now halloween isn't until a week from now but over the weekend a costume party was going on near Clinton Ave. As people were entering the party the costumes people wore ranged from funny to horrifying. One series of costumes that seemed to continue were comic book characters. Mostly Harley Quinn and other characters from recent movies based on comics. Some costumes were homemade and others were store bought. Although some may not be able to tell the difference, others can. 

One way you could tell what's store bought are if you see that costume in a store or online. One way you could tell if a costume is handmade is not seeing it on a store as well as the quality of the costume. If it’s a terrible costume where you can’t tell who it’s supposed to be and pieces falling of are most likely store bought. Although, store bought costumes are known to be more expensive. Homemade costumes could usually cost at low prices because everything you buy could be cheap. Here's a tip of advice from Lucy Van  Pelt (It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown) "A person should always choose a costume which is in direct contrast to her own personality."




Many people have already started to put up their halloween decorations. Some houses don't really have a lot of effort put into them. While others are extremely detailed! The most popular decoration around Berwyn  is a gravestone. Most homes have about 2-5 gravestones on their lawn. Lots of the stones have the letters R.I.P which means Rest In Peace. ALso, some have motion sensors that cause either a sound (like a growl or scream) or something would pop out of the ground ( a hand or head). More declarations only add on to the entire creepiness of a house. Some decorations are so frightening they leave someone mortified.

  1. You did good explaining, when you saw people walking into a Halloween party with their terrifying costumes. Then, telling me how you could tell if a costume is homemade or bought from the store. I really like how you used a quote from Lucy Van Pelt (A character from Charlie Brown). Finally, it's funny when you told me when a lot of houses had grave stone that said R.I.P which meant Rest In Peace.

    You made a lot of mistakes, it was mostly from capitalism. one mistake you made was when you were telling me where was it and you Berwyn but you didn't capitalize it, "berwyn, IL". Another mistake you said Clinton Avenue but you didn't capitalize it , "clinton ave". You have to take your time when you are typing your blog.
