Thread: The Dark Tower Costumes! Dressing up.

  1. #1

    Default The Dark Tower Costumes! Dressing up.

    Hey y'all,
    Is anyone planning on going as a DT character for Halloween this year? Or have you gone in the past and how did it go?

    I was checking out a bunch of gunslinger/cowboy costumes and nothing really does it for me. I want to piece together the costume myself but I would end up spending a lot of moola on a nice duster, hat, boots, holster, ect.

    I think I might try and go as Clint Eastwood from The Man With No Name trilogy, if only I can find that poncho...

    hehehehe.
    a few friends and I were toying around with idea, but abandoned it... ::sigh::
    maybe someday I'll be able to pull enough people together to just have a DT themed party! That'd be fun....

    I know what you mean though...none of the costumes out there are quite what you'd want. And I hear ya--money is ALWAY a problem with halloween. It's not fair that it's so expensive to be creative, haha.

    I'll be too drunk to explain it to everyone, so no.

    DBF and I are going to be beatniks, daddy-o.

    I always go as something off the beaten path, and I find all my costume components at thrift shops. I've had some pretty badass, Grand Prize-winning costumes for $10-$15 before. There's usually one or two things I buy new, but they're usually something small that there'd be no chance of finding at a thrift sore.

    I don't have any. Sorry. My two favorites were the Basketcase/Allison from The Breakfast Club, and then the lunchlady from Lunchlady Land skit from SNL (yep, a girl dressed as a guy dressed as a girl). The party just happened to have sloppy joes, too (totally unplanned).

    I am a child of the 80's! But yeah, I had the skirt, the shoes, the sweater, the leggings, the hair (mine was longer then), the makeup, the scarf, and the satchel. The bag had clothes, a (mostly empty) bottle of vodka, "feminine products", black thread to wrap around my finger, Pixie Sticks... it was awesome. If I do say so myself.

    You know I would, bbycakes.

    Oh, and to get this back on track, I don't know who I would go as, if I were to do a DT-themed costume. I'm not really like anybody in the series.

    I'd go as Roland. I don't really care if I'm gender challenged.

    Then maybe I'd go as Cuthbert. He's my favorite.

    There's a whole outfit too.

    I basically took a carving knife and destroyed my already threadbare National Review t-shirt, and fraying, gray slacks.

    Hopefully, I-and several other zombies-will be marching in the East Village Parade. The People's Cube should be filming it, but that's still tentative at the moment.

    We'll see. This is one of those ideas that's either mind-bogglingly brilliant, or incredibly daft. I'll find out in about two weeks.

    Heeheehee. Who cares? Gender is a minor detail. I think you'd make an AMAZING Roland!

    I'd like to think so. Maybe next year.
