Top ten Halloween costumes for 2012 with an Irish twist - from One Direction to Dracula

Stay away from leprechauns and St Patrick this year, stay current and Irish themed

9. Banshee

The banshee is one of the best known figures from Irish folklore. Many people know the wailing ghost from ‘Darby O’Gill and the Little People,’ which is a great film to watch for Halloween. The banshee would scream three times before somebody died. To look like a banshee, dress in white and gray to get a ghostly appearance. Wear a long, loose fitting dress and leave your hair down and mess it up a bit. Occasionally wail throughout the party.

10. Liam Neeson

To copy the ‘Taken’ actor’s look, wear an earth tone button down shirt open at the collar with a brown or olive drab coat and a pair of jeans, wrinkles encouraged. Don’t shave for a couple days and mess up your hair a bit.
