Yes, "dead" is a pun on "thread". Shut up.

So, yeah, this Halloween thing I hear kids talking about these days. Thought I should make a thread about it. Tricking, treating, candy, scary movie, scary game, costume and pumpkin discussion goes here.

And in case anyone's wondering, I'm open to costume suggestions. I'd go as the Poughkeepsie Killer, but no one'd get it.

My friend said he was going as a Chicken McNugget out of randomness. Jokingly, I said he should be a Playboy bunny. Hes going as a Playboy bunny. Hows about being a Chicken McNugget. (Cookie goes to mod that edits this post.)

I just buy candy in November. It's cheaper and often easier to come by.

It's cheaper to buy candy than to walk around the neighborhood a bit (usually) dressed in some sort of costume and get free candy?

I have no idea what I'm doing for a costume yet.

It's cheaper as opposed to buying the candy before Halloween. Besides, your suggestion involves walkingthe people around here don't really give out candy.

Go as Chuck Norris and candy will literally* leap into your chosen container.
Also, I once saw a Black Knight costume with detachable arms and leg (Don't ask...?).

*No, I didn't say "literally" to put emphasis on the statement.  I mean Chuck Norris is just uber like that.  But if the real Chuck Norris catches you impersonating him, prepare to be roundhouse-kicked.

I've actually had a plastic Chuck Norris mask since I was roughly 2 years old. That's how I first learned who Chuck Norris was, approx. 20 years before he became internet famous.

I wanted to dress as the Joker this year, but the costume I have in mind requires prep time of one whole Halloween in advance, and by next year it won't even be relevant anymore.

Seriously? A friend of mine went to a thrift store and found a purple suit and had some makeup that made him an amazing Joker in roughly a few hours. He did that for the Dark Knight premiere, even.

I am thinking of being either one of the magical brooms in the Sorcerers Apprentice (Mickey Mouse cartoon in the original Fantasia) or the W.B. Frog (I remember that cartoon he was in before he was the WB frog. Does he have a real name?)

Other than that, if I can't get costume supplies togehter in time, I may just go with the old standby: dress up like Mario or Toad. I still have pieces of both costumes, so that may work.

I received some fake vines w/ wisteria flowers from a garage sale, and ever since I've been hoping to get a small trellis to weave it through.  Not only would it work as a Halloween costume, but it could also liven up a barren corner of my room.  But most importantly, I could use it as camouflage when spying/stalking/playing hide-and-seek.

However, I don't have a trellis, and I left the wisteria at home because I figured I don't have the courage to (or enough friends to appreciate the fact that I) dress in a costume this halloween.

I've got a pumpkin, but it's weird. You know how pumpkins have those ridges, well, on my pumpkin they stick out. I can only predict if I tried to carve it, the image would look all distorted and strange. Anyway...



Ninten or Ness? It's kind of a mix of both.

-I'm not going to tilt my hat to a side.
-My shoes are blue and my socks will be reddish (like Ninten's)
-The bat is cracked (like Ness's first bat) and aluminum (like one of Ninten's). I can't take it to school anyway.
-There are no yo-yos in EarthBound Zero, but the word "Duncan" is on it--there's a factory in EarthBound Zero called Duncan's Factory that serves as a dungeon.
-Ninten had no backpack, but I kind of need that. Also it covers the fact I have no stripes on the back of the shirt. I did the same thing the guy in the EarthBound Saga videos did and used tape. I'll probably add a fourth one.

I really could pass myself off as either one, but I was going for Ninten. I'll say Ness though because nobody knows who Ninten is. I wanted to be Waldo, actually, but I didn't even try to get the necessary stuff for that.

After some coworkers invited me to a marathon of a certain series, I'm thinking a Zero costume could be potentially one of the most awesome costumes ever. Better yet, it would be difficult to tell who's in the costume.

The funny thing about this is that I thought of it while I was at work this morning, and just afterwards, the guy who sits next to me in my Japanese class said, "Hey, you know what would be the most awesome costume...?" Of course, he knew about the marathon, so it wasn't that big of a coincidence.

A few necessary components: actual fabric (too much plastic looks dumb), ruffled shirt, and not-cheap-plastic helmet.

At long last... (Best viewed when listening to the Legend of Zelda theme, preferably a techno/metal remix of sorts).




Along with the main clothes, included was:

-Boomerang
-Hammer
-Bottle w/fairy
-Bottle w/Red Potion (quickly abandoned, as I put the equivalent of half a gallon of Kool-Aid mix in a small jar semi-accidentally)
-Bow (borrowed from a friend at the last minute)
-Arrows and quiver
-Map and compass
-Wallet w/Rupees
-(Short) Master Sword and sheath
-What looks like boots in the pictures, but was actually leggings meant to go into boots I forgot (so, yes, I was walking around barefoot with brown cloth tubes sagging near my lower shin).
-Deku nuts/satchel
-Bomb bag/bombs (I might get some pics of those up later--I think I did a good job, personally)
