How about something truly original for your Halloween costume this year. A mask that's hand-made by you, for example. As an added bonus, some of the pieces shown below can be used for wall art.
Instructables has a collection of "40 DIY Halloween Masks." Here's a "Scary Mask" by scoochmaroo.
Keep in mind that, if you and your friend try a face casting but it doesn't go well, you can always laugh about it in the years to come.
