Try a new venue for your sweetmeats-begging rounds, and move out of the 'hood and into the mall for some of your Halloween adventures.
Here are some spooky alternatives for Halloween 2011.
Profession all zombies

"Last year, hundreds turned out to merge, lurch and shamble through downtown, while friends and relations snapped photos and cheered their favorite zombies on. This year, they'll do it all over again, making women faint, children card and men jibber in fear!" said zombie coordinator

Vintage clothing stores provide last-minute Halloween costume ideas
31.12.69
It’s the gloaming before Halloween and all through the house, every creature was stirring, looking to berate like a mouse. Or an angel or devil, or Lady Gaga would do; but at the last instant, packaged costumes are few.
Fear not procrastinator, we have a specific solution. Vintage and consignment shops have costume ideas in profuseness.
Okay, that’s about all I have for the rhyming.
Anne Kuronyi, P of The Attic in Bethlehem , says though Halloween is only a scant week away, it’s never too last to make a homemade costume.
Although the vintage clothing trammel, with locations in Kutztown and Manayunk, puts out their Halloween stuff in mid-September, their busiest days are the Thursday, Friday and Saturday before Halloween.
A smallholder, hick or a rock star make for unusual last-minute ideas, Kuronyi says. Although a new drift surfacing this year is for girls to go as Eskimos with Ugg boots, collector's fur hats and sweaters. Every year she sees the same requests for angels, devils, Ron Burgundy “Anchorman” lookalikes, and apprehend suits for the characters of “Dodgeball.”
