Me and some friends wanna dress up as dead celebrities for haloween...

Billy Mays, David Carradine, Michael Jackson, Ed McMahon ect.... pardon any name spelling errors I'm not lookin em up.

Now I need your help. How would we make these costume? Billy Mays is fairly straight forward, but what about the others?

    I would get a picture of them off the internet... and then try and make yourself look like that picture.

    Honestly, I'm not sure what you're even asking here.

    Ed Mcmahon is tough. He looks very generic in pictures. Are there any features to focus on that would make it clear who you are? MJ and Billy are easy, sure, but David and Ed? I am not knowledgeable about them.

    Honestly, with Ed McMahon I would try for a leasure suit from a thrift store, big 70's style glasses and a huge Publishers Clearing House check.

    No clue about David Carradine...

    Long gray hair is about the only defining feature that I know of.

    You could go the South Park route and wear women's underwear with a noose around your neck.

    Or dress up as Bill from Kill Bill, then wear a noose around your neck. Identifiable, clever, AND entertaining.

    The problem with some dead celebrities is that their only defining feature was their face. Which you can't exactly just throw together for a costume.

    It's why there's so many president masks out there.
