Halloween! (post pictures!)

[OchrisO]

So, Halloween is coming up soon. This will be a thread to talk about your costume plans and to show off previous costumes.



I normally have my costume planned before Spring is even over, but this year I wasn't very inspired. However, a few weeks ago, I decided that I am going to be The Crimson King, but not the lame end of the story CK.

I'm going to get a white wig and beard, and a friend of mine is going to help me with some flowing red robes.

I ordered some Black Out cosmetic contact lenses. I thought about going with red lenses, but the more I thought about the Crimson King, the more blackouts seemed to fit. This is because( spoiler about the CK's origins below)

of the the stuff in the comics regarding his ancestory with his mother being a creature of the Prim. So, given that, blacked out spidery looking eyes seemed more appropriate.

I'm also going to buy some long, black and pointy fake nails.

Now, I have two sets of movie fx teeth that I am looking at, and I can't decide which I should choose. I am looking for some opinions from Dark Tower fans here.

I can't decide because of stuff about the Crimson King's past as well.

Now, these teeth just look really mean and cool:

However
Pennywise/Dandelo is also a spider like creature, and most likely from the Prim as well. With that in mind, they have Pennywise teeth from the TV miniseries here, which might be a good idea:
http://www.dentaldistortions.com/html/DD_products_pennywise.htm

What do you folks think?

[Darkthoughts]

I like both (unhelpful, I know :P) but, on the page for the Lucius teeth, in the "new for 2007" bit I think the 4th set of teeth along would also be pretty cool. They look quite cannibalistic.

[Wuducynn]

Sounds all great OChrisO (except of disagreeing with you about the "lame end" which I'm assuming you mean the CK going mad and being weakened at the end, even though his eyes are crimson in both human and spider forms he can shape shift to look like what he wants to so having a different looking set of eyes can work.

[fernandito]

Cool thread. :)


Last year I was a very drunk and stoned Jack Skellington :P This year I was planning on dressing up as a droog, but that scene is so burned that I dont know if I still want to.

[Hannah]

Paris is going to be Hannah Montana (like every other girl on the planet) or Pucca this year. I'm trying to convince her to be Pucca.

I'm still trying to decide what I want to be. Last year I was a zombie. Aaron was a zombie too. Halloween was so much more exciting when my mom made my costumes.

[Wuducynn]

Paris is going to be Hannah Montana (like every other girl on the planet) or Pucca this year. I'm trying to convince her to be Pucca.



She's going to be whom?

[Daghain]

My Halloween costume is top secret every year (only DBF knows), but I'm kind of into a "bad pun" trend. One year I was a cat burglar, dressed all in black with assorted cat toys hanging out of my pockets and a stuffed cat in my arms. Last year I was dirty laundry, a clothes bag with assorted items attached (including lingerie - DIRTY laundry, get it? I know CK does). This year is another bad pun, but you'll have to wait until Halloween to find out. :)

[Wuducynn]

Hmmmm I'm thinking of going as my "man" Richard P. Sayre...and I have no idea what you're talking about Dag.. :innocent:

[Wuducynn]

Too bad we couldn't all get together at someones house for a big Dark Tower themed Halloween bash! :cool:

[Daghain]

Fly to Colorado and you can come to DBF's. Come in costume or be dressed at the door. And you won't like it if we dress you at the door. Especially if we're drunk. :lol:

[Wuducynn]

THAT would rock! I HAVE to come dressed at all?? Where is the fun in that??

[Daghain]

I can give you a long blond wig and you can be Lady Godiva :)

[Wuducynn]

Hmmmmmmm now theres an interesting thought!

[MonteGss]

Too bad we couldn't all get together at someones house for a big Dark Tower themed Halloween bash! :cool:

I'll be Roland! :) CK can be a Whore of the Wind. ;)

On topic: I haven't dressed up for Halloween in 10 years. :( I was The Crow that year (Bradon Lee crow, not that shit afterwards). I always have to work and never get to go out for it anymore. My wife and I were going to be Buffy and Spike a few years ago but that fell through.

[BlakeMP]

Over the last few years, I've been Hellboy (2006)

I'm open for suggestions for ought-seven.

[Erin]

Blake, post your Silent Bob costume. I love that picture. You look just like him. :lol:

[BlakeMP]

Heh. Well, that WAS a classic...

[Erin]

AWESOME. :D

[Daghain]

Holy shit! You DO look just like him! That's awesome!!!!!!

[BlakeMP]

If only there was money to be made as a Kevin Smith impersonator. :thumbsup:

[Daghain]

So true, so true. :)

[Erin]

Here is Chris and I as Poison Ivy and Hellboy from a couple years ago.

You can see my Hellboy costume from 2005 up there in erin's post and you can see my Pennywise costume from when I was in highschool here:

Here's my V costume from last year:

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/polkacore/halloweenv.jpg

I love Halloween. I look forward to it more than any other time of year.

[Daghain]

You just wait. I'll post pics of DBF's house. He is OBSESSED with Halloween.

*skips off to find the link*

[Darkthoughts]

Monte you have to do the Buffster and Spike - that'd be too cool :thumbsup:

Silent Bob!!! Snootchie bootchies!! :lol:

[sarajean]

i know maerlyn was buffy a few years ago for hallowe'en. i adore hallowe'en, as well (it's my anniversary, don'tcha know? our 9th this year), but for the last two years i've been pregnant and too tired and huge to feel like dressing up.

the last time i did dress up was in 2003 and i was lois griffin. there are no pictures.

[sarah]

I don't know if i even have any pictures of me as buffy :( I'll check out my box of shiz later today, if i have time, and see if I can scan it. :lol:

[fernandito]

Halloween is both of my brotheres birthdays, so not only do they get to dress up, they get presents as well! Those lucky punks.

[sarajean]

how many siblings do you have?!

[fernandito]

There are 4 of us - I'm the oldest, next is my brother (18 - 19 on Halloween), my sister (the quinceañera), and the youngest chap (9 - 10 on Halloween). :)

[MonteGss]

I don't know if i even have any pictures of me as buffy :( I'll check out my box of shiz later today, if i have time, and see if I can scan it. :lol:

Oh, please do! :wub:

[OchrisO]

Step one down:

[fernandito]

Me and my brother want to do the duo-scene this Halloween. We're thinking of either being the Boondock Saints or Jules and Vincent. :)

[tamez]

I'm going to be a Hogwarts student.
I made sure to bring my old high school uniform
back with me when i went home this summer.
it looks pretty close, i just need to add a black cloak and
a few other accessories :cool:

[Matt]

Tamez in a school uniform <drool>

This may sound bodunk but me and Dora considered going as Toby Keith and Willy Nelson (back when they had a popular song out together)

Dora was going to be the Red Headed Stranger.

[Rjeso]

*votes Boondock Saints for FP* Do it, man, you know you want to!

Let's see, my favorite costumes that I've done in the past are:

- A recycling center
- Chris Farley's Lunchlady from SNL (a girl dressed as a boy dressed as a girl, hee). Sloppy Joes were served at that party, and we hadn't even coordinated anything. It was great.
- Allison the basketcase from The Breakfast Club. I had a bottle of vodka (mostly empty) and a black thread wrapped around my finger and everything.
- Pippi Longstocking

I have photos of none of these, sadly.

[sarajean]

i was pippi for my senior year of high school. people already thought i was weird, so when they asked how i managed to get my braids to stick out and i said "magic" some of them believed me.

[tamez]

how did you do it sarajean?

[sarajean]

magic.

[tamez]

:orely: hmmmm

[sarajean]

:lol:

i cut up a wire coat hanger and threaded it through my braids, then curved it up a little towards the ends. it was a pain in the ass to do on my own, i'll tell you what. (i just said that like hank hill in my head)

[Erin]

I was Pippi too! But I was in 4th grade when I did it. My mom braided my hair and used the wire coat hanger trick as well. :D

[sarajean]

i think that all red-headed girls have to be pippi for hallowe'en at least once in their lives.

[Hannah]

Paris is going to be Hannah Montana (like every other girl on the planet) or Pucca this year. I'm trying to convince her to be Pucca.



She's going to be whom?

Pucca.

[sarajean]

i wish you were still going to be knocked up for hallowe'en, wifey. i'd love to see you as a pregnant zombie. especially if you could work some way of making it look like the baby was also a zombie trying to eat its way out of your belly. that would be sweet.

or is that gross?

[Matt]

Not to me, it sounds cool as hell. :lol:

[sarajean]

i thought so, too. i wish i had done that last year. :(

[Hannah]

i wish you were still going to be knocked up for hallowe'en, wifey. i'd love to see you as a pregnant zombie. especially if you could work some way of making it look like the baby was also a zombie trying to eat its way out of your belly. that would be sweet.

or is that gross?

Not gross. Totally rad.

In fact, now I'm kind of wishing I'd still be pregnant around Halloween. I bet that I could draw something like that on my belly with makeup and paints and stuff.

[sarajean]

rad. :lol:

i want pictures!

[Wuducynn]

Pucca.

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up...

[Daghain]

i think that all red-headed girls have to be pippi for hallowe'en at least once in their lives.

Oh no, no they don't. :lol:

[sarajean]

blasphemer.

[Daghain]

:lol:

[OchrisO]

Step 2 completed:

That's fucking scary :ninja:

Either that or :

[Telynn]

My 16 year old daughter wants to have a Halloween party this year. I will have to let you know the wonderful :rolleyes: costumes they have.

[fernandito]

I think I can guess:

(skanky) prison inmate
(skanky) police woman
(skanky) traffic guard

someting along those lines? :)

[Rjeso]

Either that, or there's gonna be twelve "cats." Y'know, where you buy the ears and maybe a nose, then wear black spandex and possibly tights. If you're feeling super creative, you might bring a cat toy or paint whiskers on your face. Oooooh.

[Telynn]

So I should set out cat food instead of snacks?:thumbsup:

By the way, here was her costume last year. I fully expect to see more of the same, from the females at the party anyways.

http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/323/1000770cn9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Not scary, I know. But it did scare the hell out of her dad. And big brother wasn't too thrilled with it either. I believe his words where "You really going to let her wear that?" Silly men. Oh, and she was a hick fairy. Don't ask me where she got that idea.

[OchrisO]

The wig and the beard material came in the mail today. However, the beard is theatrical hair with theatrical adhesive, so I won't be able to use it until the day of the party I am going to. All the is left now is the robe, which I will be getting the stuff for my friend to make soon and the claws. I think I am doing to base the robe off od a chinese monastic robe, except modified with a hood. Anyway, here's some more pics. Ignore the messy bedroom.

OchrisO, to tell you the truth I wouldn't like to meet you in the street after midnight in this costume.

Views of years past:

DBF was a priest, I was a little boy (I only managed to offend my Catholic mother, LOL)

Last year when I froze my ASS off and scared the bejeeezus out of the neighborhood kids on Halloween:

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc75/DaghainDT/IMG_1831.jpg

I totally made some eleven-year-old boy scream like a little girl. :lol:

[Erin]

I LOVE that last one! Did you pretend to be a dummy and then grab people's hands?

[Storyslinger]

Scared them shitless :rofl:

[Daghain]

I LOVE that last one! Did you pretend to be a dummy and then grab people's hands?


I totally did. :lol: I made some eleven-year-old boy scream like a little girl. It was great. :D

[MonteGss]

Daggers, the priest and the boy getup was the best! I would have laughed my ass off! :lol:

[Daghain]

My mother was so offended, but she was miffed at DBF instead of me. She kept telling me to tell him not to go as a child molester. I had to remind her that he would only be a child molester if I was dressed as a child. She still didn't get it. :rofl:

[Storyslinger]

:rofl:

[Letti]

Daggers, the priest and the boy getup was the best! I would have laughed my ass off! :lol:

[She-Oy]

I'm thinking my whole family might go as the Malfoys from HP. Drew wants to be Draco instead of Harry because he has blonde hair, Will already has long blonde hair so he would be perfect as Lucius, and I thought I could don some dominatrix gear and go as Bella.

Although, I really wanted to go as a fairy.

[Storyslinger]

You'll have to post pics :)

[She-Oy]

Well here are some pre-costume pictures, because I don't have them yet...but I think I can see.

me, Bella

[Storyslinger]

Ah, young jedi

Can't wait to see the finished costume picks

By the way She-Oy, nice pic :wub:

[She-Oy]

LOL....I just noticed Drew's stash of lightsabers in the corner of his picture. He actually still plays with them, although he wants some wands now.

[OchrisO]

I picked up the stuff for my robe and it is now in the hands of my friend who is making it. That's the last part of the costume. I can't wait for Halloween. :dance:

[She-Oy]

I'm really excited for Halloween too, Chris. It seems to be a big event here in Vegas. Back in Alabama, it was but it wasn't. Mostly churches putting on festivals. Most of our neighborhood was made up of older couples who shut off the lights and locked the doors. Here there are tons of kids, the area's flat, houses close together...makes for good trick or treating.

And the big haunted house here seems like it is going to be amazing. Drew wants to go, but I think he's a little young.

[Storyslinger]

The haunted house sounds awesome

[sarajean]

drake had plans to be malfoy this year, but then he decided he wanted his head shaved again, so i'm thinking that's out the window. he's already got most of the gear...he's got about a bazillion wands, and he does an awesome malfoy scowl.

who knows, though. now he's leaning towards being venom. *sigh* like there won't be a billion more of those out there.

[Darkthoughts]

Sam wants to be a dementor this year, which is cool - I can go wild with the face paints! Ruby wants to be a ghost and Max is torn between a pumpkin and a skeleton :D

[Odetta]

my family is going as the supporting cast of Wizard of Oz.

My daughter - the witch
My other daughter - Toto
Hubby - a munchkin (which is frickin' hilarious because he is 6 foot 4)
me - the yellow brick road. ;)

[Spencer]

I figured I'd go as Eddie in his gunfighting costume.

[Erin]

Ahh! Halloween is coming up. I've been too busy to even think about it anything, much less that. I have no idea what to be. Usually i've had a costume planned out for awhile now. :orely:

[BlakeMP]

I... MAY... have a costume idea.

Stay tuned for further updates.

[Nerak]

Josiah ~~ giraffe
Mackey ~~ Dale Jr
Kyra ~~ witch

My mother was so offended, but she was miffed at DBF instead of me. She kept telling me to tell him not to go as a child molester. I had to remind her that he would only be a child molester if I was dressed as a child. She still didn't get it. :rofl:

This was just great in every way. Reminds me of a costume I saw once where this guy was dressed as a priest and had a little kid mannequin attached to his crotch...talk about an attention getter!

[Daghain]

Now THAT would have been funny! :lol:

Note: i fucking hate dressing up.

[Darkthoughts]

Penis? :lol:

[Erin]

I'm going to a big Halloween party Saturday night and I still have no idea what i'm going to be. I may just take the cheap way out and re-use either my Tonks costume or '80s get-up.

[Randall Flagg]

I have to go to a costume party this saturday night as something starting with P or K

KY jelly, Kosher pickle, knocked up, kleenex tissue box, knockers, King Kong,

how about just stand perfectly still in a corner and claim kinetophobia?

[sarajean]

dress as yourself and say you're a party pooper.

[fernandito]

BURN!

[Kevin]

If anyone's seen the movie Donnie Darko I'm going dressed up as his halloween costume in the movie. Got my skeleton suit and I'm going have my artisitic friend draw the 28:6:12:42 (adds up to 88, movie was filmed in '88. Just some fan boy knowledge for ya) the exact same way its shown in the movie on my arm.

It's gonna be badass. So excited. :excited:

[ZoNeSeeK]

dress as yourself and say you're a party pooper.

thanks for that incredibly original suggestion! :)

[Storyslinger]

:lol:

[Rjeso]

I have no ideas. Inspiration has not hit me this year, and I'm runnin' out of time. Sigh.

[cozener]

i think that all red-headed girls have to be pippi for hallowe'en at least once in their lives.

Oh no, no they don't. :lol:

No...they don't. But they do have to be either Ginger or Jessica Rabbit at least once. I think its a local ordinance around here anyway. You might want to check with your local city hall.

[fernandito]

dress as yourself and say you're a party pooper.

thanks for that incredibly original suggestion! :)

It's fitting :)


Kevin - Um, wasn't Donnie Darko filmed in 2001? :unsure: Or did I completely misinterpret your post?

[OchrisO]

I think he actually meant that it was set in 88, not filmed. The movie was set during the 88 presidential election.

[Daghain]

No...they don't. But they do have to be either Ginger or Jessica Rabbit at least once. I think its a local ordinance around here anyway. You might want to check with your local city hall.

Um...again. NO. :lol:

[fernandito]

I think he actually meant that it was set in 88, not filmed. The movie was set during the 88 presidential election.

Oh! That's right, how the hell did I not remember that? *slap*

Kevin - make sure that if you go to a halloween party, you blast Mad World in whichever car you happen to be in, you know, for that little extra touch. :D

[Kevin]

I think he actually meant that it was set in 88, not filmed. The movie was set during the 88 presidential election.

That is indeed what I meant, thanks for pointing that out.

And I'll be sure to blast Mad World. I just hope we can skip the jet engine part...:beat:

[Daghain]

DBF's big Halloween party is tonight. If I'm any sort of coherent tomorrow, there may be pics. :D

*skips off to finish party prep*

[OchrisO]

I just got in from the party I went to, but I was so drunk taht I don't even know if anyone got pictures of me. The beard turned out pretty crappy anyway. :\

The robe was awesome, though, thanks to my friend Meagan.

[sarajean]

damnit, chris! i came in here hoping for Crimson King pictures. now i'm sad. :(

[Kevin]

I might be Brian McCabe for halloween now instead of Donnie Darko. For those of you that dont follow hockey, this numbnut shot the puck into his own net with 0.7 seconds left in overtime.

My friends are very pro Leafs so it'll be good.

Hmm, a few pictures are starting to pop up, but no really good ones, yet. Like I said, the beard turne dout crappy, but here are a coupel pics.


You can see me somewhat in this group picture, in the back next to the Dryad, which is my friend who made the robe:

And here in the backround you can see The Crimson King devouring a quesadilla because he remembered that he had spent all day working on his costume and forgot to eat:

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[Storyslinger]

Awesome pictures everyone

[Erin]

Chris...you're right...your beard is kinda jacked up. It looks more like a very long goatee. :orely:

And I saw those pictures before you even did. Along with about a million other Halloween parties that took place that night in Richmond.

[sarajean]

:rofl: at chris. you totally do look like an evil santa klaus.

i mean...sorry your beard turned out crappy. :(

[Daghain]

Yeah, I was thinking Father Christmas myself. :lol:

[OchrisO]

Haha. I always thought he sounded like demented Santa Claus at the end anyway.

I made the beard like a goatee on purpose, actually. I was going for the look in this pic: http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g118/polkacore/515.jpg
I just thought it turned out to look cheap.

*shrug* Not my best costume ever, for sure. The spirit gum for the beard gave me problems at the last minute and I had to run out in the middle of putting on my costume and buy rubber cement.

[sarajean]

rubber cement...on your face?!

eeew.

[OchrisO]

Yep. It works for costuming, much in the same way that spirit gum does. It peels off very easy after it dries.

[Daghain]

Speaking from personal experience, rubber cement is really easy to peel and remove. :D

[MonteGss]

You're sick Daggers.

[Letti]

Watching this thread I really wish we had Halloween here. Great cotumes all.

[Daghain]

You're sick Daggers.

Nope, I believe that was YOUR twisted interpretation. :lol: I used to work in a print shop, we glued stuff down with rubber cement, and it was really easy to get it off your hands if you used too much. :P

[MonteGss]

Sure you did. :P

[Storyslinger]

Wow, TMI TMI
*shakes head*

:rofl:

[Daghain]

Sure you did.


Snot. :lol:

my only problem is that i can't get the stuff out of my eyebrows now. i look weird.

[OchrisO]

Did you dance the Mamushka?

[sarajean]

Nice job, sj :)

That's awesome! I love Thing on your shoulder.

i had to make roselle stand in front of me so you couldn't see that i was holding him there. :lol:

Awesome pics sj and tamez

[Letti]

Tamez, I am about to think that you would look great amazing and hot in a dustbin as well... you can put on anything you can have any costume - you rock.
Yes.
That's the truth.

[Darkthoughts]

Indeed, Tamez you are the Queen of Halloween :wub:

SJ I'm so jealous!! Over here its only really kids who get to participate in Halloween - the fact that your workmates do it and themed!!! Well, like I said...jealous much?!!

[sarajean]

SJ I'm so jealous!! Over here its only really kids who get to participate in Halloween - the fact that your workmates do it and themed!!! Well, like I said...jealous much?!!

well, to be fair...the theme was assigned, but we were the only ones who went all out. the other groups that participated didn't really do much, but we built a cardboard house and i spent all of the night before carving out the tower room and the windows and everything. we also had the majority of our group participating while most of the others only had a handful. it was great fun. but i had to take that itchy wool suit off as soon as the judging was done. (and wash off the moustache...the eyebrows proved harder to get rid of)

angela, who was my darling wife, morticia...her mom made that dress. it had the little octopus tentacles at the bottom and everything. she kept bitching and wanting to know when she could take "this damned whore makeup" off. :lol:

anyway...it was great fun. drake was unhappy that i was dressing up as a boy for hallowe'en, though.

Y'all really went all out with this sj. It's impressive.

[sarajean]

thanks, brice. we had a really good time...even though i was stressed as hell about it not being done the night before.

there are better pictures on other people's cameras...so far these are just from my phone. angela's going to try to find her USB cable this weekend, and i should have some more next week.

[Brice]

Great! I can hardly wait. Y'all looked wonderful. :D

Blake, you look so sexy as Zoro! :wub:

OK. I went to a big party last night dressed as a typical Wal-Mart customer. AKA..the biggest redneck you can find. Here are a few pics:

Some guy spilled beer on my arm and smeared my tattoo:

[OchrisO]

Interesting gorilla costume he's wearing.

[RUBE]

I was hoping to see more pictures of Halloween costumes on here. Therefore, I will add some of my own and hope people follow suit. The first is my wife and me as a witch and devil. (I always end up being a devil if I dress up. I wonder why?) The next is her friend the "cereal killer." After that is her boyfriend, the ultimate redneck. (Sorry, but we focused more on drinking than taking pictures so we do not have a better picture of him.) What you can't see: His cap had the image of the lady you see on truck's mud flaps, he had the buck teeth, and his shirt said "This is what awesome looks like." He probably received the most laughs. The last is the guy who threw the party. He is his own MySpace page.

[Erin]

:lol:

That MySpace one is awesome!

[Erin]

Pardon me for being ignorant, but who's the eye candy on your shoulder!! :wub:

He is quite the hottie isn't he?

[RUBE]

:lol:

It was but he had a real hard time going through doors and several times he knocked things off of tables. The funniest thing was to see him try to dance.

[Erin]

That reminds me of something. While not really a Halloween costume, I went to DragonCon in Atlanta a couple months ago and some people made Tetris costumes. It was so funny. They cut up and made 3d colored pieces and walked around wearing them. Then they would stop and build a row with themselves.

ok, now that's just darling! But I'm gonna have to creep out on the dummy branch here and ask...what the hell is Jane? A weed? A turnip? Maybe a Mandrake? Not sure and it really doesn't matter because that girl would be cute going as Mr. Hanky! I just am not recognizing the costume. I know, I know...I should probably be shot.

BUt hey! Dean is an awesome ninja! I got that one right!!

[Rjeso]

She looks like she's a triceratops. Or maybe a dragon. Hmmm. :orely:

Dean is a kick ass ninja! And awww jane. :wub:

ONLY June? Egads. You should be planning from Nov 1!

[LadyHitchhiker]

I wrapped myself up in tin foil one year and went as a baked potato...

[William50]

Every year, I dress up as a scary clown. It is my trade mark.

I am ordering this one off the internet this year.
http://cache.halloweenmart.com/images/ip015049.jpg

[fernandito]

I really want to dress up as the T-1000 this halloween. I know my sister can come up with something for the 'bullet wounds', but I wonder how hard it'll be to find a pair of those kickass boots. :orely:

[Girlystevedave]

Easy..just go find a biker bar and throw someone through a window and then steal their boots. :D

Just make sure you have the 'appropriate' background song playing at the time.

[fernandito]

The T-1000, not the T-800!!


:cyclops:

[Girlystevedave]

Oh...I knew that

[Darkthoughts]

Well, I was meant to be going to the Gaiman signing for Halloween, but the kids were mortified that I wouldn't be here for trick or treating, so I may end up selling my ticket :cry:

Sam wants to be a zombie this year, Ruby is going to be a cat and Max wants to be a dragon...pass the scissors and sticky tape! :lol:

[alinda]

I want to be an energy being...wait I am! :) but how to get others to see my light?

[Woofer]

I'm going to be an escaped inmate from Arkham Asylum (double reference there, so I love that!), complete with barbed wire wounds and still shackled to part of the arm of another inmate.

Mr. Woofer's doing a variation on the dark jester. He's going to apply a half-face skeletal appliance under his mask so that when he takes off his jester's mask the top of his face is a skeleton.

The two girls I'm going to Screamfest with will be June Cleaver (who lives up to her name) and a Vampirate.

[Kidd Ikarus]

My best costume was probably back in high school . . . I was The Crow (Eric Draven, the one, the only and the original) not any of those stupid ones that came after. I did all my make-up myself and everything. It was bad ass.

But a couple years ago, I was Space Ghost. It was hilarious. It had this padded foam chest with all the muscles and abs carved in it. Hahaha. If I can find some pictures, I will post them. They're funny as hell.

[Matt]

I would love to see pictures of that. The Crow sounds great!

[Iwritecode]

Sadly, I don't know if any pictures exist but one year in high school I went as Bill S. Preston Esq. I tried to convince my friends to go as Death and Ted but they wouldn't do it.

I had the backwards red hat, yellow shirt, green&black flannel and adidas shoes w/red laces.

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b210/Lacy804/39f37ffc6a015.jpg

[razz]

best costume i did? Hockey player. On roller blades, back when i was 12.
i ended up skating down the sidewalk at high speeds, and swung my hockey stick and hit another kid in the face while doing so. it was funny.
his big brother tried to make me apologize, then give him my candy. i hit him somewhere else. it was funnier.

[Kidd Ikarus]

I'm Space Ghost and my friend is Marc Antony. With all due respect, his girlfriend was Cleopatra, so it was understood. Haha

[Ka-mai]

I've been thinking a lot about Halloween lately (mostly due to my Great Costume Debate of 2009) and I thought, hey, this could be a really fun discussion.

So this thread is for your Halloween plans. Costumes, pumpkin carving, parties, fun ideas, things you love to do every year, etc. etc. Go nuts!


Right now I'm thinking for a costume to do a kind of old-fashioned masquerade kind of outfit... like fancy dress and a mask, not really a costume in the sense of "I look like something" per se, just a rocking outfit. Not sure how much that will cost though.

[razz]

We're gonna pay someone to get us a 24 pack of beer, then get drunk, set a house on fire and beat the shit out of the guy that lives there with baseball bats. God I love Flint.

[Woofer]

ka-mai, there's this manufactured costume ball costume (http://cgi.ebay.com/Masquerade-Ball-Gown-Countess-Costume-with-Mask-Medium_W0QQitemZ200391484009QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_ DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2ea8436269&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) on ebay.

This page (http://www.costumepage.org/costume.html) is an excellent source for costuming resources, including information on how-to and Halloween crafting, online.

However, you can put one together with very little monetary output. If you can find a good bridesmaid or prom dress at a thrift store near you, you can build your own cardboard and wire hanger bustle. Accessorize with a fancy, accordion-type fold fan and layered choker faux pearls, the right type and length gloves, and an appropriately cool hand held mask. I can just see you now...

http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo194/TheCuteWoofer/Halloween/20061214jacobs1.jpg

[Ka-mai]

:lol: That's pretty cool... I'm thinking more red and black or something, but it is pretty close to the look I'm going for.

As for the Ebay dress... I'm not a medium. :( That's the other problem, when shopping I can usually find what I want... in a normal-people size. Stick-people sizes are hard to come by.:pullhair: But thanks for the idea. :)

[flaggwalkstheline]

either my brother, myself and 4 of our friends are gonna go trick or treating with each of us dressed as a different incarnation of david bowie (I called dibs on ziggy) or my girlfriend and I will get drunk BEFORE the kids show up wanting candy, that'll be a good time

[rosie real]

We're gonna pay someone to get us a 24 pack of beer, then get drunk, set a house on fire and beat the shit out of the guy that lives there with baseball bats. God I love Flint.

and this is different from every other day in flint how exactly? :orely:

[Woofer]

You're very welcome. I hope you can find something that you can with. I'd definitely keep checking ebay, too. With Halloween this close, people will be tossing more and more costuming bits up for auction.

I do know of a few other places good places online, but they're not inexpensive, spur-of-the-moment costuming quality or price. These places make clothing, jewelry, and armor geared more to the SCA, Ren Faire, and historical and theatrical societies. The Uruk-Hai armor that Mr. Woofer bought is authentic leather armor made by Schmitthenner Armoury (http://www.schmitthenner.com/). They don't carry that particular line any longer.

Mr. Woofer, the Uruk-Hai:

http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo194/TheCuteWoofer/Halloween/Halloween04R.jpg

(Note the makeup sweating off around the neck. We had to keep reapplying all night. If we did this one again, we'd extend the prosthetic down to the neck or at the very least use liquid latex. Makeup would usually suffice in this instance, but since it was Florida and a particularly warm Halloween and he was wearing leather from head to toe... You get the idea. Lesson learned.)

http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo194/TheCuteWoofer/Halloween/successfulhunt.jpg

I was a Pirate of the Caribbean in the moonlight:

http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo194/TheCuteWoofer/Halloween/Halloween04P.jpg

You can see that even I'm sweating off a bit of it here. Always keep your makeup around for touch ups.

[mia/susannah]

Woofer, those costumes look great, I like to orc!!!

I am not doing anything for halloween, except take the girls trick or treating maybe

[Woofer]

Thanks, Milissa. If we don't feel like going out for the night, we'll get dressed up just to give out the candy and then maybe grab something at a fast food place. Just because.

By the way, when will Chad be back?

[cozener]

I'll be taking the kids trick or treating. Not sure what they'll be. They might go as Buzz and Woody. They might go as Darth Vader, yes...the both of them. They have matching costumes and red lightsabers. They have a lot of costumes though so its hard to say what they'll end up going as. We're into costumes in this house. I used to be much more into Halloween myself but that kinda tapered off after the kids came along.

[Woofer]

Darth Vader and his evil twin, Garth Vader. PICS PICS PICS!

cuz we get to beat the shit out of them wearing a mask.

[Brice]

Do they get a mask too?

[tamez]

going to a kick ass party on Friday and hitting 6th st. in Austin on Saturday
and i'm going to be Egyptian
I have everything but a dress... I bought *A* dress but it is going
to be too cold to wear it as it is not made of much material.
i may buy another dress or some fabric to add to the one i already have.
btw the shoes and the snake headpiece are AWESOME :excited::excited:
i need to figure out how to do my makeup :panic:

[razz]

Do they get a mask too?
they get to dress as a mummy for several months afterward.

[Brice]

Ooooh! I'll bet they'll like that. :lol:

[Woofer]

Oh Tamez, you're going to be too hot.

Here're some Egyptian makeup tips (http://www.fashion-era.com/ancient_costume/egyptian_eye_make_up_cosmetics.htm). More tips here (http://www.celebrations.com/content/Halloween-Makeup---Egyptian).

Instructions for Applying Traditional Kohl Eye-Makeup

1. Dampen the stick.
2. Twist it in the kohl until the makeup adheres. (Give it a little shake or a tiny flick of the wrist so that the excess drops off.)
3. Place the kohl stick in the inner corner of your eye.
4. Close your eyes (lightly- don't squish them shut- you'll distort the line)
5. Gently draw the stick outwards, between your closed lids: the kohl will leave a smudgy line on both the upper and lower eyelids.

* A genuine kohl stick should have a slightly rounded bulbous end, kind of like a polished wooden q-tip.

[Daghain]

DBF and I are having our annual Halloween party. I have an idea for a costume but I'm not sharing it yet. :evil:
