The first Halloween costume that I can remember was being a dinosaur, but I know I was a flower and the Campbell's kid before that. I'm a big fan of obscure, geeky Halloween costumes. They kind of act like a shibboleth for me: if you get them, you are awesome. They're also not particularly attractive, but whatevs. Some of my favorites in recent years have been Elizabeth I, Henry VIII, and Mrs. Lovett, but probably my best one was Groucho Marx. (My little sister dressed up as Harpo. No Chico, Zeppo, or Gummo, sadly.) That was the one I remember the most, because it got the best reactions. I remember one of my friends, who's a huge old movie buff, suddenly got it halfway through our Social Studies class and got up and screamed,"Oh my God, you're the guy from Duck Soup!"
Oh, and one year I was a little old lady. That was fun.
