Ghost costumes are probably the biggest clich known to man as far as Halloween is concerned. However, there are ways to make ghost costumes fun and exciting again. Dress as the ghost of a dead famous person. It may seem slightly macabre, but it can be a lot of fun as well.1. The Ghost of Ronald ReganWhether you are a conservative or a liberal, this is one costume certain to get a reaction out of people at a Halloween party. One thing you can do as Ghost Reagan is constantly point at walls and shout at Mr. Gorbechev to, "Tear down this wall!"2. The Ghost of Bob RossBob was famous for starring in probably several million episodes of that old "how to paint" program that aired on educational public TV channels for decades. His white guy afro look is very memorable. Also memorable was his gentle nature and the soothing hypnotic voice he spoke in as he showed us how to paint landscapes. If you dress as Ghost Bob Ross at a party, you can entertain others as you show them how to paint "little happy trees."3. The Ghost of Michael JacksonWhile Michael has left this worldly plane, his reputation as the King of Pop is certain to last forever. As Michel Jackson's ghost you can constantly grab your crotch, do the moon walk, and talk in a spooky version of that high pitched childlike voice. You also have the option to go as Zombie "Thriller" Michael Jackson as well.4. The Ghost of Amy WinehouseWhile it may seem a little too soon after her untimely death, this is one way to create a controversial buzz at a Halloween party. Just mimic her strung out, dirty look and try to mumble the lyrics to "Rehab" incoherently as her ghost.5. The Ghost of Evil Abraham LincolnWhile doing Lincoln's ghost may seem kind of obvious, no one will expect an evil ghost of Abraham Lincoln. Just carry around a big ax and make constant comments in a creepy voice about how this house divided against itself cannot stand.
