One year I went as the Grim Reaper, with hooded cloak, sickle, perhaps some makeup, a bit of white color to accentuate the black, and perhaps a bit of blood as well...just for added gore. I may have even worn a rather dreaded mask of some sort...can't remember. I dressed all in black. I remember that outfit...as being one of the better ones, as it took a bit of work, and especially considering that my Mom & I used to run into K-Mart on many a Halloween night and purchase the very last of those plastic get ups...that well let's face it...make it hard to breathe, make you hot & sweaty, and often don't look that good.
