What to be for Halloween?

I need to shop for Alex's Halloween costume. I want something Halloween-ish, like a devil, witch, fairy, etc. Alex loves Elmo to pieces and he'd be awfully cute as Elmo, but there's just so many years I can have the ability to choose his Halloween costume for him. So, while I can, I'm eyeballing some classic creature stuff. When Alex has the ability to plan, make choices and verbalize them, then I'll have to deal with his preferences. After all, I know there will be a day that I'll have to deal with some Ninja Turtle nonsense or some superhero or whatever.
