Need a costume for that Halloween Party next week? Well, Austin-based cartoonists Ethan Persoff and Scott Marshall have you covered.

They've created a ghastly gallery of potential Halloween masks sure to scare the ba-jeezus out of your co-workers, little sister or thin-skinned Republican friends.

Persoff and Marshall have created some ghoulish likenesses of the most politically charged Republicans, plus a DINO and columnist.

Persoff invites anyone/everyone to download the pictures, print them out and scare your fellow man.

Persoff's well-executed idea is similar to what some alt-weeklies do every year with an issue dedicated to their city's "Scariest People,"
