I can think of no less than five versions of the Chronicles of Narnia that have been released as movies.  This timeless tale has it all.  It has action, adventure, and heroics.  But most of all, it has mythology.  And foremost in that mythology is that most timeless of villains, the witch.

In this climate, it is no wonder that one of the most popular Halloween costumes is the witch costume.  Don’t get me wrong.  I know that witch costumes have been popular forever.  Although their popularity may wax and wain, you are never out of fashion with the witch costume at Halloween.

 The great thing about witch costumes is that they really push the envelope in terms of what you can wear with the children. Everyone secretly wants to be a ghost or a ghoul, but when you are with young children, you have to be careful or else you might scare them. 

Although a scarier costume might get you into trouble, you can always get away with a witch costume if you have your heart set on playing a villain. And who does not want to be a villain now and then?

Of course, the witch costume is far from the most clever Chronicles of Narnia costume, but it is the most simple. If you want to make your own costume and have never done such a thing before, you had best stay far away from centaurs and fauns.  You will end up at your costume party without anything at all to wear! 

The key to a really good witch costume is to not overdo it. This is easier said than done. There is a great temptation to go overboard with the big black hat, several warts, a robe, ugly blunt toed shoes, and the rest. But I always say that if you want to dress like a witch, do it with class.

Have a nose that is not too gigantically large, a hat that might just be a womans hat, and shoes that almost look normal.  The best witch costume will make you look like a witch that is hiding out and trying to act like a normal person. That way, people will be all the more excited to spot you and see that you are really a witch. 

That sort of witch costume will make you much more interesting for all of the people around you.Happy Halloween
