Here at Energy.gov, we take Halloween seriously -- very seriously. Maybe it has something to do with all the flickering lights (should've used LEDs), drafty haunted houses (terrible insulation) and broom-riding witches (very sustainable!).

Whatever the reason, we thought we'd share the spirit of Energyween -- or is it Halloweenergy? -- with these five easy-to-make, energy-themed costumes. Combine them with one of our energy jack-o-lantern designs for a festive finale to National Energy Action Month!

"...When Carly isn't in the office creating infographics, she can often be found at her tiny house in Arlington practicing yoga while her two mischievous ferrets chew on her sticky mat." ( http://www.energy.gov/contributors/carly-wilkins-0 )

"He covers renewable energy and climate change topics for Energy.gov, telling stories that explore the Energy Department's work toward a sustainable energy future....Ocean conservation still holds a special place in his heart -- right next to craft beer, space exploration and Arsenal F.C."

Thanks for answering the question “what are Millenials with Liberal Arts degrees doing for a living?”

Better a waste than mischief, I guess.

The filter costume is about as fun inspiring as would be the dental hygienist who is always harping on you to floss three times a day with diligence to touch every tooth surface methodically and then use a discloser to be sure.

But that’s what liberals like to do. Boss you around and to the devil as to how practical it is in the larger scheme of things.

These people, aka GOVERNMENT WORKERS, obviously have WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS!.....................

[Red Badger]

They should be first ones fired............................

Didn’t you get the memo, this is Barack Obama’s jobs program.

[TexasCajun]

Looks like Mellisa Harris Perry on the right.

That is a human tampon, right?

Barack Obama’s jobs program for the insipidly educated.....................

"..she can often be found at her tiny house in Arlington ..."

ugh this 'tiny house' meme is getting louder....

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"...while her two mischievous ferrets chew on her sticky mat."

I suggest using some of these to alleviate that problem;

[FroggyTheGremlim]

" ... chew on her sticky mat?"

[The Iceman Cometh]

her sticky mat

I guess there's more than Yoga happening on that mat.

Thanks.... now I have to clean the coffee I spit all over my monitor!

“ugh this ‘tiny house’ meme is getting louder....”

It’s a “war on women” and “income inequality” exacta!

[Cats Pajamas]

Looking forward to Donald firing these apprentices.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The one on the end looks like a giant tampon.
