This clever Melanie Daniels costume, a character from Hitchcock's classic horror film The Birds, is so easy to put together that anyone can make it.

All you need is a vintage dress and jacket, blonde wig, some stuffed birds and lots of fake blood.

Slash the jacket for added horrific effect, maybe add a wound effect or two to your face and you've got a memorable Halloween costume in the making.
