Cosplay - COStume PLAY - acutally doesn't only mean to "dress up" as a character, but also trying to act his/her personallity out. Thought the "play" part is usually left out. Sadly. I wouldn't say cosplay has the qualification that not "everyone" is dressed up. Cosplay is a hobby that can take place throughout the whole year, whenever one feels like it Halloween and carneval are limited to dates. Also halloween costumes you buy in stores usually have lower quality then cosplays - not allways but most of the time and if you make a accurate cosplay, there are usually a whole lot amount of more details, that your average halloween costume couldn't even hope to competend with. In the case of dracula for example, the usual halloween outfit contains a cape made out of some plastic-feeling fabric or satin. If you'd want to make an accurate cape of that time you'd have to use linen or some other heavier fabric.
	Could something THIS CUTE ever harm a fly? Spoiler: click to toggle Well... Most likely not a fly, but... You better don't do anything that might make you his next target... I'm a proud fan of BOTH, Samurai Warriors AND Sengoku Basara. Bashing either at own risk.
