The Finisher

Tonight is All Hallow's Eve, The Devil's Day, Dia de los Muertos, Samhain, Hallow Tide... better known as Halloween. A time to celebrate fun-sized candy, pumpkin spice everything, and especially costumes. I've always liked costume parties and cosplay and masks, because everyone becomes themselves when they are dressed up safe as someone else. So on this, the only day of the year where it's socially acceptable to show up at your day job as a clown unless your day job is as an actual clown, what Magic celebrity would you dress up as on the most wonderful night of fright of the year?
