That is the question faced by many Halloween revelers as the holiday approaches. The obvious choice is to go zombie or go home. Basically you can take any costume idea and zombify it up with a little make-up and some fake blood. In fact, many folks will argue that zombieing up a costume takes it to the next level. For zombie make-up you can go extremely simple. All you need is some “clown white” and “black smudge.” Make your face pale and apply the dark circles under your eyes and paint your lips black and you’re good to go. You can also find a rubber leg or arm to carry as a “meaty” prop. There are plenty of how to tutorials on more extensive zombie make-up applications found at Ehow and WonderHowTo websites. To spark your zombie inspiration here are my top 10 zombie Halloween costume ideas:

If you work in an office, you probably have a suit in your closet that might be destined for Goodwill. Or you can go to Goodwill and find a cheap suit. All you need to do is add some dirt and blood and you’ll be ready to punch the zombie time clock. You might also want to carry a mug of coffee as if to say, “I can’t eat brains without a good cup of java.” When it comes to simple costumes the classic cowboy outfit is right up there with a white sheet with two holes cut out for eyes. All you need is a cowboy hat, toy gun belt, some boots and a tacky western shirt (which everyone owns). Then give it the zombie treatment. If you are so inclined you could also rig your outfit with some arrows protruding out of your gut to show that nothing is going to slow down a cowboy zombie. Is there anything as sweet and innocent as little Red Riding Hood and her basket of goodies for Grandma? So, clearly a costume like this needs some zombification. It wouldn’t take much to rip up some stockings, splatter around stage blood and fill up Grandma’s basket with rubber body parts.

If you can find a zombie wolf to put on a leash, you’re sure to take home first prize in the costume contest.

What’s great about wedding zombies is you can zombie up the entire wedding party. Imagine six zombie bridesmaids, a zombie priest and zombie wedding singer. The more the merrier. A variation on this theme is zombie prom dates. Bonus points for drenching your prom date in blood like Carrie. Everybody wants to be a hero. But what happens when our heroes are accidentally bitten by a zombie?

They turn into the undead and crave brains just like every other zombie. Cheap comic book super hero costumes can be had at plenty of costume stores. In fact, the cheaper the better because then you won’t feel so bad when you ruin the outfit with all your zombie stuff. Think about how you’ll stand out at Zombie Spider-man or Zombie Superman. Is there anything more horrifying then Girl Scouts trying to sell you cookies? What if those Girl Scouts were zombies? You get the idea. Gather up a couple of your closet friends and put together your own zombie Girl Scout troop. If you really want to take this to the next level consider guys going in drag as zombie Girl Scouts. The mind boggles at the possibilities. Just as it is easy to find super hero costumes you can also find lovely Disney character costumes then destroy them by turning them into zombie outfits. Take your pick: Tinkerbell, Snow White, Aladdin, Cinderella… don’t they all deserve to be zombies? Sticking with the ‘what other movie icons can you turn into zombies’ theme then Star Wars becomes the obvious choice.

At every Halloween parade there are always a handful of Comic Con devotees who brush off their storm trooper outfits to the delight of the crowd. So, what happens when blood is sprayed over those outfits? The crowd is even more delighted! The family that zombies together, stays together. Have you ever seen a kiddie pageant? If that doesn’t qualify for the zombie treatment nothing does. Obviously, if you’re going to be zombieing up your kids, they’ll need some help with the make-up but it will well be worth the effort when you can see their bright shiny faces dripping with fake blood. Completely original and totally tasteless. And isn’t that what Halloween should be all about? If you’re lucky you might find a lovely Mrs. Zombie Claus or some zombie elves to complete the portrait.Travel Tips The last time you wore a tuxedo or ball gown, you might have been dancing with your high school sweetheart under tacky prom decorations in the high school gym. Attending a captain's ball on a cruise ship lets you relive that feeling, but with real wine instead of strawberry wine coolers.

This formal event, at which you'll rub elbows with the ship's captain, calls for your best duds. For a Man Each cruise line has its own requirements and recommendations for a man's dress, but generally, you'll have a choice between a suit and a tuxedo. On some ships, men are allowed to wear formal military dress to formal balls. Though not every ship uses the term "Captain's Ball," nearly every line offers a similar type of formal ball attended by the captain. Unless a tuxedo is required, you can wear a suit as long as it's a dark color; wear a tie and dress shoes as well. For a Woman At the ball, take your outfit up a step from what you'll wear to dressy dinners on board the ship and wear a cocktail dress, ball gown or dressy pant suits. Pack an ensemble that you'd wear to an evening wedding in a ball room or country club. Opt for pieces with sequins, embroidery, lace or formal fabrics like silk and satin, and pack some sparkly jewelry and heels as well. For Kids Your cruise line might not allow children to attend a ball;

even if kids are permitted, you might opt to leave them with an older sibling or take them to an organized kids' night. If a child is coming to the ball, however, dress him in attire you'd choose for an evening wedding at a formal location. Dress a boy in a suit -- no vest required, but a clip-on tie is appropriate -- and pick a dress for a girl, or pack her a skirt-and-top combo in subdued, formal colors and fabrics. A velvet skirt and silky top will look right; a summery day dress won't. Considerations If your suit has a visible layer of dust on it, or you can't remember the time you wore that dress, try it on before packing it. Discovering the waistband's too tight when you're in your state room won't do you any good. If your cruise line's ball requires a tux and you don't have one, you don't necessarily have to skip out on the affair. Some lines offer formal-wear rentals, but don't expect to pick up a tux once you get on board. Contact the company a few weeks before your trip to order attire in your size.
