The Grim Leaper

How did you come up with your costume idea?

I always wanted to be a headless horseman. However, I thought of this out of the blue and went with it.

How did you make it?
Cheesecloth, stole the outfit from a grim leaper decor item I had. The costume has a speaker playing scary music, a fog machine, I have a black mask, and red light up eyes. We both have chains on us and a scythe.

How much did it cost?
With the fog machine, maybe $150.

Where did you wear it?
Horse show, hunter pace.

How did your horse like it?
He is the most tolerable animal ever. I think he wore it with pride and put up with my shenanigans.

How did people react?
In awe. I was asked to make a cameo at a halloween 5k.
