Let's think up some suitably frightening characters for the Credit Crunch Halloween.

I was thinking Falling Down versions of bankers, but on second thought, they slip on to the category of pathetic instead of frightening.

Maybe people could wear their post-civil-society survival gear, Mad Max style?

Carting a pile of them around in a wheelbarrow for that extra bit of despair.

Dress up as a homeless realtor holding a sign that says "will sell your house for food."

Or, how about dressing up as a guy in a suit with a window frame around you and you're standing on the ledge? Of course, that was back in the day when investment guys took their jobs seriously. Today the new breed of these guys learned from the 1929 crash and now have secret offshore accounts to tide them over through the tough times. No need to jump these days.

Do you also leave behind a reddish slug-like trail that creates a down-trending slope?

Would be better to "skite" - like how a dog pulls itself along carpet/grass when it's anus itches.

I'm pretty sure that skiting is harder than it looks though, you need a lot of arm traction and probably short legs.
