Depending on your costume, make a groovy bag that completes your look. So, if you are dressed up as Catwoman, Batman, or even Superman, then decorate your bag in such a way that it complements your getup. If you choose to dress up as Catwoman, then your bag can have scratch marks, paw prints, or even cat eyes as decoration.

If Batman is your choice, then using bat wings or even his logo is a good idea.

If you really want to hone in the spirit of Halloween, and you plan to dress up as the Grim Reaper, then use black bags made of fabric or leather.

You can paint or write RIP on them, or, you can paint them gray, and shape them in a way that they look like tombstones. To accentuate the bag, give it a finish using bright red paint to give your bag a bloody look. This bag can also be used as favors that you fill with sweets and give to kids coming to your door asking for sweets.
