The "Murdered Prom Queen" went over really well the year I did it. I had on this poufy, heinous prom dress that my sister had in the 80s, and I put lots of makeup on to make my face look really pale and lifeless. Underneath my eyes I put purple shadow so they looked really creepy, and I applied some of that fake blood across my throat so that it kind of ran down my neck a little. You can also go the extra mile and wear a dead corsage (my winter dance one from high school worked nicely), and make sure your hair is all messed up--for a bonus point, add some leaves--to make it look like you were drug out in the woods or something. Don't forget your "prom queen" sash. Trust me, everybody loved the costume...I might break it out again this year.
