This is the costume I wore. I never understood with these type of costumes why they gave you the plastic suit. It was weird and I had to wear it over the clothes.

The next costume I remember wearing vividly was a Super Mario costume that was kind of the same as the Alf one, meaning it had a Super Mario mask and a plastic suit. I cannot find a picture of it but you get the idea.

Now this next one is one of my favorites as it was one of my heros, Alice Cooper. It was around the time the "Hey Stoopid" album had come out and I decided "screw it", I am doing this. 

That is me on the right with the microphone and makeup. My brother is on the left in a glow in the dark wolf mask. Never understood why the mask had to glow in the dark but that is besides my point. I loved my costume that year. But the next year I went over the top...

The next costume is the last in this article and the one I wish I had a picture of. The year after I went as Alice Cooper I had bought my second CD ever and it was Twisted Sister's "Big Hits And Nasty Cuts" and I loved that CD. I decided I had wanted to go as Dee Snider and I do not regret a thing, except for not getting a picture. That costume was the penultimate costume I had ever done and I am so proud of it. Years after I would go as horror movie slashers and I loved those too, but the costumes I described in this article are definitely my favorites.

So what were some of your favorite costumes as a kid? Let me know in the comments below.
