So I was trying to be on the down-low about this, but I needed some input from more skilled CaS designers. Inspired by @Gatsu 's Chistmas customs of some of the SCV last year, I took it upon myself to make Halloween costumes for some of the characters this year! Here's what I've come up with so far:
Aeon doesn't allow for much in the way of customization, the closest being that you buy the DLC pack that has his head as a CaS accessory and put it on a blank. But I think I did well at making do with what was possible for him. I did have him wielding real axes with candy corn-colored handles originally. But I thought coloring his joke weapons to look like candy corn looked better.
She's kind of a cross between a black widow (black and red colorscheme + the hourglass shape on the front of her robe) and a tarantula (the fluff around her neck, on her shoulders, and her boots). Overall, I think she looks alright, but there are some things I'm wondering if I can improve on, especially her mask. I wanted to give her the appearance of having more than two eyes like a real spider. But CaS only allows up to four decals on any eligible item (out of the overall six you can have). I ended up putting four eyes on the eye bandages, but I'm wondering if I should try for the eye mask so that she could have the appearance of having six eyes. Oh yeah, that red protrusion from her hand is supposed to be like a fang or stinger. Since her fingerblades aren't part of her weapon, I thought it looked off to have her fighting bare-handed.
I just had to make some kind of custom with those chain-scythes of his.
This custom had given me some trouble. I wanted to put some sort of low-cut outfit on Ivy for this custom. But the first piece of clothing I could think of (the low-cut dress) can't be worn with any capes. And you can't have a Dracula-era vampire without a high-collar cape. Eventually, I decided on the outfit that you see her wearing now, which also has the bonus of baring her midriff. Also, adding fangs to a custom is a major pain, especially since you can never properly center any extras on a custom's face. Anyway, they're supposed to look like they're covered in blood, hence the splotches. I'm thinking I may add an ankh to her outfit later on as well.
This one seemed perfect for Tira's mood-swings. Also, it was definitely a relief to find that the malfested arm on Pyrrha's top for her "Omega" outfit goes on the same side of the body as the "Phantom of the Opera" mask. Although I do wish there were something that could cover the entire half of a characters face available in CaS. I added the fang to the "Hyde" half of her costume to try and make up for the mask only being able to cover up so much of that half of her face. That probably could've been remedied if CaS allowed you to place decals directly onto a pre-existing character's skin though. Also, do the striped leggings seem like a bit much? I wasn't sure if they looked too Tim Burtoney.
Any critiques for the customs I've done so far along with suggestions for costumes for any of the other SCV characters would be appreciated, especially if someone can suggest a particularly douchey Halloween costume for pre-Alpha Patroklos that would be possible in CaS.

Yoshimitsu also doesn't have a lot of leeway for customization. But after I saw Gatsu turn him into a snowman for Christmas, I figured I shall have a shot at customizing him as well. I originally wanted to go with the "rubber mask" covering his head and adding a henohenomohe for his face. But CaS doesn't really have a lot of decals that look like the necessary hirgana characters for making it (at least not before using up all six slots for decals). Plus, I will have used up the slot that adds a hat to your custom if I used that mask, and you can't have a scarecrow without a hat. So I turned his head into a jack-o-lantern using all three extra slots in the process.
