Daniel's Mad Hatter and Alice in Wonderland costumes!

Season Two's Daniel Vosovic will be as mad as a hatter this Halloween with his Alice-in-Wonderland themed costume. But when he was a kid, he took any chance he could to be a superhero.

"I remember wearing this ridiculous Superman costume," he says. "I think I probably first got it when I was four and continued to wear it until I was eight or nine. So the sleeves came up to my elbows and the pants came up to my calves, but I didn't care."

For trick-or-treaters who aren't into Lewis Carroll, Daniel suggests a northern exposure.

"An Eskimo outfit is really cute and really easy to make," he says. "If you go to a fabric store, there's always cost-efficient fake fur. Cut out two rectangles and sew up on each side to make a vest. Add booties, cuffs and a hat."

Mad Hatter

1. Wear a top hat. Place a playing card in the brim.

2. Find a cheap old blazer and take it to a tailor to add piping -- it's very cheap and very noticeable.

3. Use a big piece of scrap fabric for a bow tie.

Alice in Wonderland

1. Put an oversized floppy bow in your hair.

2. Take a white apron and place over a full dress.

3. To make it extra youthful, add ankle socks!
