Lauren Conrad certainly has the skills to make herself one killer Halloween costume. The fashion designer, however, won't be going as anything intentionally scary for the holiday this year. Well, actually, her idea just might frighten people with a fear of clowns.

"We were just talking about this today; we were talking about Halloween costumes," she told MTV News. "And I decided that I want to be a clown this year. Like, a pretty clown with a tutu and bright tights and suspenders. A girl clown."

She seemed slightly more optimistic about this year's costume choice than ones she's made in the past. For instance, if you ever thought it was easy being one of those white-sheet ghosts, LC wants to set you straight.

"I always leave it to the last minute. I remember one year, it was Halloween, and I didn't have a costume," she recalled. "I took a sheet, like TV shows [and] cut the holes [to] be a ghost. It was the worst costume ever."

It's Halloween Week, the spookiest time of the year and also the most fun. So as the leaves fall and it gets a bit colder, we here at MTV News decided to pay homage to the holiday by rounding up some of your favorite celebrities' Halloween memories and costume ideas — some even offer advice on how to dress up like them this year. So brace yourselves: You're in for one horrifying week!
