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)
Spoiler:
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.
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.

Sounds all great OChrisO (except of disagreeing with you about the "lame end" which I'm assuming you mean
Spoiler:
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.

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.

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.

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. :)

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:

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.
