Alien cone head

Last year we could not get enough of these fun Fancy Dress Coneheads
 The Coneheads was originally a sketch on Saturday Night Live, and starred Dan Aykroyd as father Beldar, Jane Curtin as mother Prymaat, and Laraine Newman as daughter ("Connie"). The Coneheads were an alien family, natives of the planet Remulak, who found themselves stranded on Earth. When questioned by Earth neighbors as to their strange behavior, they inevitably replied that they were "from Remula(c), a small town in France". The Conehead's most distinguishing feature was that the tops of their heads are shaped like large cones. Their unearthly appearance, however, was never strongly questioned -- a point from which much of the humor was derived.
