Ghost of Bearded Past


Billy Mays III: I Want to Be Haunted By My Father
by TMZ Staff

Billy Mays III -- the late pitchman's son -- is hosting a Billy Mays costume contest for Halloween in honor of his dead father ... and get this, zombie Billy Mays submissions are encouraged.

Little Billy posted the following on his website:

"Halloween is approaching rapidly and it goes without saying that "deceased celebrities" (and balloon boy) will most likely be a huge theme at every gathering.

There will no doubt be a multitude of people dressed as Billy Mays (or zombie Billy Mays).. it is one of the easiest costumes of all time to put together. (Beard, blue button-down, khakis, prop product, etc..)"

Billy wants people to send him pics of their Billy getups -- the winner gets a bunch of prizes ... including, of course, a tub of OxiClean.

I'm glad this kid is getting in the Halloween spirit and trying to look at his father's death with a sense of humor. As we all know laughter is the best medicine. And he's right. It should be pretty easy to grow a beard, get a denim shirt and carry around some Orange Glow or a Handy Switch. Or if you wanted to look menacing you go as Zombie Billy and carry an Awesome Auger. Personally I'd go with the Mighty Putty and put it on the spot on my head where he racked himself in that airplane. Too soon?
