Halloween is near! Well, almost. But being as how I still have no costume idea, I have started this topic for Halloween costume discussion so I can steal an idea or two. It's also an opportunity to share anecdotes about Halloween, such as that lady's house I went to that had an actual stuffed cat on the wall.

Happy Halloween!

I'm wearing a blue suit seen here.

After putting on the suit, I will be convering my face in duct tape. While this sounds odd or perhaps down right goofy, the results will be somewhat disturbing/scary.

I will then make a mask out of a pumpkin. I will place mask over duct taped face, while wearing suit, and my costume will be complete.

Anyone ever tried going out looking like this guy?



But seriously, I would really like to go out as Karel (seen here):

As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

I haven't done Halloween in like, forever.
I kind of collect novelty accessories (groucho glasses, funny hats, ect...)so I've probably got enough stuff here to make a costume. Hmmm...
I could be the Medieval pirate vampire king alien reaper. With like, fox ears or something.

I don't do Halloween anymore. I stick with real desserts, like cake, ice cream, and anything chocolate, instead of those little candy bars (but I will still eat them, like if I'm pasing out candy :). The whole candy thing has gotten old, and I can't think of a costume, either. Besides, I like Rocktober better. *Mr.Melee listens to Pink Floyd: The Wall*

I'm going to be attending the Halloween Mixer in our JROTC program as Lil' Slugger. I'm planning to buy some clothes from the Salvation Army: black shift, blue hoodie, green shorts, and a red baseball cap. I will also get a wiffle bat and melt-bend it to make it look like the bent golden bat the character uses. I'm thinking about getting a curly-hair wig too. I'm not sure if I will use real golden-colored inline skates or just golden-colored shoes (I have never skated).

I plan on going around my neighborhood with my friends this year. We're going to be dressed up as various fast food characters, but we're also going to be carrying (airsoft) rifles, pistols and submachine guns.
No trick-or-treating this year, we're just scaring little kids. We're not actually going to shoot them... we're just scaring them.

I wouldn't suggest carrying any kind of gun, fake or otherwise with you while trick-or-treating unless it is very, very obvious that the gun is fake.

I'm gonna be one of those wandering warriors with a cloak that can be seen in fantasy.  I answer the door for trick-or-treaters at my aunt's house.  Two years ago I was Shadow Link, but I wasn't able to dress up last year 'cause I had musical rehearsal.

...yeah, for us, if you get punched. There was a guy on AFV (America's Funniest Home Videos) who dressed up just like that. He was doing his job when a guy came up to the house. The scarecrow scared the man, who, with lightning reflexes, punched the scarecrow guy in the nose, breaking it. Like I said, howling time for us if that happens to you.

Broken nose = good time.

I've decided to go as the Invisible Man this year. Of course, considering how clueless the people are on my block (they thought I was a cowboy when I went as Ash from The Evil Dead) they'll say something along the lines of:

"Oh, hi there! Hey Ted, look! We got a little...uh...Harry Potter here! With, uh, mummy wrappings...and no wand...and a Fedora...and a trenchcoat. Say kid, what kind of Harry Potter do you think you are? Here's your candy. Oh look, a Power Ranger! With cat ears...and cat fur...and a cat tail...and no Power Ranger helmet..."

I got mistaken as a girl one year when I dressed up as an army man, people around my neighborhood are.... let's just say they're clueless, even though they need a stronger term for how stupid they are.  I havent done Halloween in forever, if I do this year, I will be the white guy with the afro, black shirt, green suspenders, army pants, and combat boots with the joint stuck in his hair from G.I.Joe.  I can't remember his name.

A friend of mine dressed as Link in his Zora Tunic get-up one year, and people thought she was a pirate. O.O

I dressed as a Team Rocket member one year, and only a few kids recognized me.  Same thing as the year I was Shadow Link, only a bit less kids recognized me.  One of these years I wanna dress up as Mario or Luigi.  If hardly any of the kids recognize me, then we're living in a sad world.

Well, assuming my Invisible Man costume doesn't work, I could go as someone else with glasses. Maybe Gordon Freeman, or...uh...hmm. Yeah, I guess that's it. Even if I do go as Gordon Freeman, they'll think I'm Harry Potter with a crowbar in a Hazardous Environment suit. They always think I'm Harry Potter.

Well, the other day I concoted a few "ingredients lists" for glasses-friendly costumes.

Invisble Man
- Gauze (to wrap around head; be sure to leave eyeholes)
- A black bowler hat or fedora (the bowler looks best)
- Black or brown trench coat and dark-colored shirt
- Any-color (dark, of course) pants (dark green works best)
- Pilot-style leather gloves
- And, of course, glasses
If you don't wear glasses, try goggles or something.

Gordon Freeman
- Black sweatshirt and sweatpants
- Black boots
- Darkish-orange paintball-style plastic body armor
- A goatee (assuming you don't already have one)
- A crowbar (not %100 neccessary, but it completes the look)
- Yellow paint (to paint a lambda symbol on the front)
- Glasses, of course (not wire-rim)

Harry Potter (my costume nemesis)
- Navy or dark-blue robe-y looking thing
- Dark-red shirt (goes underneath robe)
- Some way to make that scar thing on your forehead
- A wand (really, even a stick will do)
- Wire-rim glasses


That's about all I can think of. I hope this helps my fellow glasses-wearers. Other obvious costumes include a stereotypical nerd or even Smithers from The Simpsons.

I know the scariest costume ever.  It's what I'm going to be.  I shall be....a Flasher.  I have a one piece, flesh colored leotard-thing, a trench coat, a pair of sunglasses.  Leaving little to the imagination, and it gets a little chilly, but I think it's such a great idea I couldn't pass it up.  Hopefully I won't get suspended from school for wearing it.  They said no masks, no face paint, they never said anything about no pants.  And trust me, there will be NO photos.

I went as the Invisible Man for my sister's school's Halloween dance/costume contest thingy, and got second place. The winning costume? A kid who pretended to have a stick in his brain.

The funniest part was, when they called my name, I thought I had won, so I threw up my arms and cheered, then ran towards the stand, triumphanty yelling "That's ME!! I WON!!" Of course, when I got there and saw all the other kids, I thought, "Who are they?" Then I learned that I had just gotten to the finals and won second place. Pfft.

Oh, and believe it or not, another kid there went as Gordon Freeman. Excellent job, too (must've used my advice).
