He thrusts his fists against the posts

The Halloween tradition of dressing in costume (and begging for treats) dates back as far as the Middle Ages. Other holidays also have costume traditions, but Halloween stands apart from other holidays with costumes that are often designed to resemble supernatural or otherwise frightening figures. It’s quite ordinary to see ghosts, witches, skeletons, vampires and devils roaming neighborhood streets as darkness falls on October 31.

Although adults don costumes for Halloween as well as children, grown-ups are more likely to dress up as Tarzan, a sexy French maid, or their favorite celebrity. The be-sheeted ghost is a disguise more often left for the children to choose. You can revisit your childhood and perhaps experience a brief return of lost innocence (or at least nostalgia) with Bayly Baxton’s Ghost Sheet Costume. The rumply sculpted bedsheet covers you from head to knee (more coverage if you mod the costume’s size up), and the eyes are just two roundish cutouts, just like you remember.  A jacket-layer “shirt” isn’t essential, but it blends rather than letting other clothing show through. Who knows? You may even placate an evil spirit or two.

Just L$50 at Bellies (Yeongheungdo 81, 181, 1502).
