Ok, lets have em..

I really want to be Mugatu, but I don't think I can make it or pull it off (skin's too dark)..

(http://www.condoroptions.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/mugatu-says-relax.jpg)

I'm probably not doing anything this year, cause I can't think of anything that will top last years.

I've been considering ordering a chainmail tunic.

A couple of hundred bucks and never have to worry about it again.  Plus, I'll have a chainmail tunic.   :why_so_serious:

Faking an excuse to not go to a potentially really boring Halloween party this year.  I figure I'll save some money and just not do anything for fear of getting caught in a lie.  I hate that.

yeah, i usually pass on em too. time to have fun with it though, i guess.

i think i've decided on che guevara. i just realized i have all i need, except a beret (easy enough). got the camos, boots, and cafe racer jacket. fuck, this is how i dress anyways. hopefully i can grow passable facial hair length between now and halloween..

[edit] rasix, you should be the dude in your avatar

I think you should dress as a total hobo with fucked up clothes and a bloody lip/face/everything and when someone asks what you are you can reply: Economy, American Dream, Wall St, Our Children's Future.

Really, the answer is open.

yeah, but what if i'm fucked up and need a cab ride home? i'll totally get screwed!

If you wear a blond wig, you'll get the ride.  Cab drivers will just assume you're Nick Nolte.

(http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/nick-nolte.jpg)

Fuck. I wouldn't give him a ride.

I'm putting together a Steve Zissou costume this year. Should be cool.

Aww man.. Great idea!

My roommate and I are thinking of doing Marty and Doc Brown this year. We were Mario and Luigi last year.

(http://img379.imageshack.us/img379/606/hallnh4.jpg)

More people need to post more ideas in this thread, this could have been in gen disc.

I need to actually dress up this year, make some effort.  I lack inspiration.

Oh Shit Fucking Zombies!

I'm thinking of going as a witch.  Found a really cute hat, and it'll be an excuse to wear my purple and black stripy socks.  I want to put more effort into making something nice and more original, but limited mobility makes that problematic. :x

It's also going to keep me from using WAR's Disciple as a template for a RenFest costume this year.

Trotting out the old reliables this year: my son will be Mario and I will be Luigi.  This time we will also have the white gloves.

I found sweet Mario and Luigi hats last year someone was custom making. Edited my post above, don't know if the image was working before or not. They're actually really high quality hats and not thin costume crap. Perfect custom patch too with the right font. Don't see them anywhere this year though.

This is both creepy and awesome.

What's even more creepy is that the guy looks like Mats Sundin... :ye_gods:

I originally saw that picture like his:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/PhantomGreen/inspirational/lawfulgood.jpg)

Girl at party: What are you supposed to be?

Guy: Abortion. Wait isnt this one here yours from senior year in highschool?

How's this?

(http://www.ezineblog.org/media/virginiatech_pennstate_halloween_costume2.jpg)

haha oh wow

too early?

Yes, especially for Virgina residents.

Bullshit, I thought it was funny.

Whatever happened to the Black Canary idea from the other thread?

-----

Can't find a link to a picture, but the baby suit reminded me of the ATHF episode "Total Re-Carl" where he gets the body built entirely out of eyeballs.  Which would also make a good costume.

I'm sure you did. But how many VT people do you know?



EDIT: Not saying i'm offended.

Lots. I almost went there, in fact.

My costume has been the same for the last 15 years or so.

(http://www.joeydevilla.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/chop_suey_specs.jpg)

Wow, it can fool your friends even.

Yeah, they're fucking retards.

Gotta do the hand gesture, though. It's an authenticity thing.

I always promise I'll make Zelda and Link costumes for the niece/nephew, but then I never have a sewing machine or give a shit about promises.

You could paint a little black square under your nose, glue a potato to your penis and go as a dick tater.    (http://www.democraticwarrior.com/forum/images/smilies/hitler02.gif)

You know, this is one of my favorite holidays, but surprisingly i haven't even thought of a costume yet. To much RL unknowns right now, its kinda killing my holiday spirit. I didn't even do one of my threads yet.  :sad:

I really need you to send me a box of what you are taking.

My neighbors have this inflatable skeleton in a suit and top hat playing a pipe organ with an audio loop of Toccata & Fugue. It's fucking awesome. And we keep thinking it's Olberman doing the Worst Person in the World skit.

It comes in a bag.   :oh_i_see:

You really shouldn't be making me laugh while I'm on a phone conference.  Try to be a little more respectful next time.

Bah, I think I might do an Alex DeLarge thing now (besides, it'll give me ample excuse to kick every Joker's ass wherever I go  :why_so_serious:). Either that, or an 80's breakdancer (complete with Kango and visor shades).

My beret is too big..and I don't feel like getting another. So long Che! I hardly knew ye.

I've been watching those old videos of people dressed up as pacman characters chasing each other around. Makes me want to be pacman.

Too cumbersome. I need to smoke cigarettes.

I like costumes that 1) let me get through doorways 2) let me do normal shit 3) basically doesn't look like much of a costume  :grin:

I'm no fun really

[edit] Then again, I've been thinking of a funny idea for "Heavy Metal Jesus". Some Jesus getup and wig, with Gene Simmons makeup.

And if you don't have any ideas, then one of you should do that.

My girl is putting together a "Slash" costume ,i was thinking of king diamond, but i don't like doing face paint for a number of reasons. I need to think of another 80's rocker.

If she's Slash, then wear a red bandana, red wig, kilt, and charlie manson shirt. Maybe you'll look like someone.

lmao

Douchebag batman

There is another Baby Man:

(https://www.silversnail.com/images/Halloween/Halloween_07_061.jpg)

Oh fuck yeah. I need to contact this dude.  :awesome_for_real:

http://www.webspawner.com/users/charlloots/index.html (http://www.webspawner.com/users/charlloots/index.html)

Get drunk and punch a mofo.  :awesome_for_real:

You could also be Pacman from Colors, and walk around spraypainting dumb kids in the face.

Those are both astounding ideas.

I might cop out and be V.

Dress up as videogame pacman, then get drunk and punch a mofo. Tell him TO is your bitch. You know, really shake things up and confuse him.

Actually, just like Rasix, you should just affect the look of your avatar.

Yeah, but i was hoping to be someone i liked.  :grin:

OK, then dark long hair, denim shirt, aviators, and leather pants. And lots of swagger. Also, tell everyone that they're fucking slaves.

And if you don't like that guy, then you suck!

I'm thinking about getting a monkey costume and a top hat.

I think that might be too expensive though.

I may shamelessly rip that off. Or

Hitler the douchbag artist

Or

The American economy.

So, Titler?

So... charts, based on incomplete and/or inaccurate information, that will be seen by many...

You will be dressing up as a fur fucker?

I'm curious about douchebag hitler artist guy.. what is that? Hitler with beret and palette?

...

you know what's cool about halloween? you can practically take anyone or any concept, and zombify them. zombie hitler, zombie madonna, zombie hunter s thompson, zombie che in my case...

Zombie McCain! Oh wait, he's already a zombie.

I could put a scar on my face and be Tina Fey doing Palin.

Possibly Hancock.

Knit cap, sweats, a hoodie, shades and a bottle of cheap whiskey. Easy peasy.

Best costume I ever had was the Unabomber. Last minute, 10 bucks for a zip up hooded sweatshirt and a pair of Blu-Blockers at walmart and I was set.

Of course, everyone said "great costume, not much of a stretch though".

(http://img241.imageshack.us/my.php?image=happycatmonocleyv2.jpg)

I want to do that as my costume, but for the life of me can't find a mask anywhere close to that. Even latex. Any help?

One Mike Myers mask. One long haired wig.  One KFC bucket.

voila.
(http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s13/specialj99/070221_buckethead.jpg)

If the bucket is full then eat the contents first.

Well...There are cat masks everywhere, but most of them are female-oriented. Here's one that isn't:

Probably tough finding a top hat for that one though...


This may work better, and it's funnier too...

"This soft foam cat mask is sure to inspire hours of creative fun."

Oookay...

Hairy Man in Toothfairy costume.

Pedobear.

Unfortunately, you have to make a pedobear costume.

Dude, are you trying to get this site busted for child porn?

That's porn?

Color me unimpressed.  :oh_i_see:

 :wink:

[edit] Gah! Seriously? You got me all paranoid now.  :| :headscratch:

I'm feeling the crushing guilt. Thanks! I'll remove it now.

I wouldn't call it porn per se, but really, it's a borderline pic.  Tweens showing their panties is questionable enough to be not worth risking it.

Heh cool enough.


Ahem. I'd like to point out to anyone reading that when she says "tween" she means on the older end of the scale. Not the younger.  :oh_i_see:

I may be a little crazy, but not that crazy.

Scale? Isn't "tween" like 11 and 12?  Not much of a spectrum there.

She looked 18-19, but probably wasn't.


If tween actually means 11 and 12, then Lantyssa does me a great injustice, and I might just have to repost the pic again to illustrate.  :grin:

She didn't look THAT young. I think tween is a stretch.

Went looking for costume stuff tonight and I was reminded why I don't shop with other people. I hate other people's opinions.

Tween might be a little excessive, but she was jailbait.  She was not eighteen.

Not costume or jailbait related, but I'm festive. This is the greatest Halloween song ever:

 :hello_thar:

I did Bill Lumbergh. I was apparently spot-on, and also hot. no, I didn't get anything out of it, so don't bother asking.

Yeah, I went back and watched Office Space once more to "study." :oh_i_see:

This is now the costume thread!

I think mine turned out well:

Nice dude! You nailed the pose!

It's getting close!  Hurry up!  Cut eye holes in a paper bag, put it over your head, wear some combat fatigues or a uniform, and go as the Unknown Soldier. 

PS  I sort of like the bucket head guy but I don't much like the cat masks.  Also, Bhodi is the cutest one of his bunch!

Never played that game actually, but cool pics Bhodi (i still know who they are). Looks like you have some non-costumed lamers at that party.  :grin:

Bhodi, the fact that you look so happy is creepin' me out.

The engineer looks like Mario.

I hope you screamed "Need a dispenser here!" all night.

Thanks :P

I did. I worked on the accent. He would then shuffle over and I'd take some of the candy.

Nah, not so many. (http://dave.oc7.org/gallery/main.php/v/GTG_And_Parties/Halloween/2008_Charkoween/) You can look if you want to see a whole bunch of my friends you don't know and will probably never meet :) Almost everyone had a costume, even if it was lame.

I'm a happy guy!


Did anyone else do costumes this year?

Oops!  :uhrr: I just said that because of the two background people in the first pic. I didn't mean to sound like I said the party was lame. I'm sure  it wasn't.  :-)

 :pedobear: :awesome_for_real:

I'll try to remember to get ahold of pictures of my Lumbergh.

It wasn't perfect, but...well, probably the most effort I've put in since I was a kid.

Oh..my..god.

MrHat!
 :pedobear: :pedobear:

Its not me!  It's from flickr! I should've added a disclaimer!

Riiight.

He's right, it was me!

That pic is great.

I think it's all of you stuffed into one pedobear suit and I think THAT is even more icky than normal ick.

You know how we roll! :drill:

Halloween fashion swat. (http://www.somethingawful.com/d/fashion-swat/fashion-swat-halloween.php?page=1)  There are some mindbogglingly stupid costumes in there.

(http://i.somethingawful.com/u/elpintogrande/october08/tequila.jpg)

Something just bothers me about store bought costumes (even the ones that aren't stupid as the above). I mean, like complete costumes. Hard to escape buying some things though.

I'm having a terrible time finding a denim jacket, went everywhere I could think of today but still no dice. Didn't stop into Wal-Mart yet but I was hoping it wouldn't come to that. Do they still require a dirty wifebeater to get in?

Is there a specific type of denim jacket you need? Because they're everywhere really.. If you're not meaning to alter it just for the holiday, just get a Levi's. A good jacket to have in general.

Just a plain old denim jacket. I've only seen one at a Kohl's but it had a fur lining to it coming out the top. Checked Old Navy, Gap, Sears, JCPenny, etc.. The Canadian border is 30 miles away, shouldn't they be everywhere?

Yeah, that's strange. I usually see em at the places you check (Sears, JC). Try Dillards or Foleys.

Never heard of Dillards, nearest one looks like it's about an hour away. According to the internets Foley's is now Macy's which I didn't check since it's a bit of a drive. Hopefully I'll have better luck tomorrow since the party is tomorrow night.

Thrift store. I almost guarantee you'd fine one there.

That out-of-style eh? Heh


Not too long ago, I got carded at a bar line, and my friend was like "He's wearing a fucking jean jacket!"  :awesome_for_real:

AT least in NJ, yeah, I guess.

I haven't personally worn a jean jacket since....oh, elementary school? I've never felt warm in one anyway.

No, I'm pretty sure they're out of style here too. Don't care. Not sure if I've said this before, but just about all of my role models were 80's teen movie delinquents.

Kind of the ideal jacket for the most of the cold weather you'll see in Texas though.

I'm not dressing up this year, but I really need to get me a Yosemite Sam costume for next year.

LMAO, i bet they have some fun later that night.

Congrats to Bunk on his donut winning pumpkin!  (http://www.chins-n-quills.com/forums/images/smilies/HOHaloweenPumpkin203.gif)

Pumpkin donuts!

We're gonna just dress up as our Rock Band avatards, last minute (the one we play with our friend). Hookers&Blow.com rules! We even have a logo:

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3269/2989563247_8d1a948b6b.jpg)

I made an iron-on for Sauced's sleeveless jean jacket.

The bottom of that chicks hair looks like something evil with an open mouth... and now that I've said that I can't unsee it.

AH, looks like a dog fro hell or something. Nice. :why_so_serious:

More like a Jar Jar Binks/Alien hybrid. 

Also, is ampersand a legal hostname character now?  Nobody tells me these things.

 :awesome_for_real:

FTLOG Stop rolling "that way"!

C'mon people. More pics! Someone's got to have something funny.. I only know one other board with as little enthusiasm for the awesome holiday that is Halloween -- and they're all like from Singapore or some shit.

I don't have kids and I don't "party".

Bah. Fair enough. :-)

And I've been crippled.

Me too.  No kids, no parties, almost lost my thumb in a tragic thumb losing accident and I am moody.  I can make up more excuses on demand, too!

Can't stop, won't stop!

Stray, you'd be thoroughly underwhelmed by my Halloween picture. Last minute vampire who had to take out his teeth so he could drink his beer.

I got laid off, so my Costume/party fund got rolled into my "I need to eat" fund.  :grin:

Well dangit I'm deleting my pics now. I look like some solo picwhore.  :oh_i_see:

I carved a pumpkin.
I thought about dressing up my dogs in blinged out halloween outfits.
I served one family halloween candy.


I did my part.

There are no pictures!
