You could even make it a family bonding experience, if you wanted to. Instead of buying a costume and pre-made kits, as a family, you could make the costumes and supplies. For example, instead of buying fake blood, you could always get a bucket, corn syrup and red food coloring and let the kids mix up a batch of fake blood. Not only will they end up with a totally unique costume but you will have been able to spend some quality time together, it would inspire a sense of accomplishment, and help to build their creative thinking skills.
