So, my coworkers and I are trying to come up with something cool to dress up as for Halloween. Right now we’re contemplating characters from Clue, but I’d like to think of something more, dramatic. There are 6 or 7 of us.
Not really dramatic, but the Seven Dwarves spring to mind.
Oooh, there are lots of “cast things” you could do- I’ve seen some really clever (and cheap) groups form Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Rocky Horror Picture show, Batman movies, and PETER PAN is awesome b/c you can do it mostly with stuff around the house and the cast infinitely expandable for last-minute lost boys!!
You could do the seven wonders of the anceint world. It’d take some creativity but I had a friend who once went as email and if someone can go as that, anything can be done.
Yeah, we actually thought of that first, but not everyone was on board with that idea.
The only thing about Clue is I just figure people will have to ask what we are. I’d like to be something obvious; I guess dramatic wasn’t the word I was looking for.
whoops! That was in response to the 7 dwarves suggestion! Thanks all though, keep 'em coming!
Seven deadly sins.
Oh, at work, we could get fired!
You could always cheat and be almost a set, and then come up with a load of fun reasons for why the last memeber of the set is missing.
“We are the other 7 planets”
“You mean the other 8 planets, right?”
“Pshaw, like Pluto is a real planet :rolleyes:”
The possibilities with that one are fairly enormous.

I like the Clue characters idea.
Neil Gaiman’s Endless? Death, Dream, Destiny, Desire, Despair, Destruction and Delirium/Delight.
The 7 Disney princesses*? The 7 Free Zone Committee members from The Stand? The 7 members of the Cheers gang**? The 7 MASH characters***? The 7 main Pern characters****? Wow, I can do this for a lot of fictional places/worlds (see below)
*According to the PS2 game Kingdom Hearts, there are 7, but I don’t know all the 7. Jasmine, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White… shrugs…Ariel, Esmerelda and Mulan?
**Sam, Carla, Diane or Rebecca, Woody, Cliff, Norm, Frasier.
****Hawkeye, BJ or Trapper, Burns or Winchester, Potter or Blake, Margaret, Radar, Klinger
****F’lar, F’nor, Lessa, Brekke, Menolly, Robinton, Jaxom
Wait, let me try this one…Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore, Piglet…Kanga and Owl! Kanga gets to carry a little stuffed Roo, of course.
The six noble gases? I’d like to see someone dressed as Xenon 
How about a bag of M&M candies? One for each color: brown, yellow, green, orange, red, and the newest colors, blue and purple. Of course, the male coworkers would be M&M’s with peanuts 
The VonTrapp kids.
A rainbow. (of course, you’d have to be seen together - in a row)
continents
Seven members of the Justice League.
How about cards in a deck.
Very easy to make.
You need foam board, a deck of cards, spray adhesive and Kinko’s and tape. ( To hold over shoulders.)
Cut out the foam board to the size you want to wear your card front and back of you.
Enlarge card at kinko to fit.
Spray adhesive to foam board.
Wa La… You are done.
Or, you could get some corrugated boxes and work with them enough to make the seven wonders of the world…
Great Wall of China and the Pyramids would be easy enough…but you are on your own for the rest. 
pointy hats in 7 bright basic colors & matching tights & leotards - presto, a box of crayola crayons. Make a big yellow & green box and walk around together for extra fun…
A train. With big enough cardboard boxes it wouldn’t be hard.
