Halloween Costumes.

[JustJack]

Soo..It's October 1st. In 30 days, Halloween will be apon us. now, while I don't trick or treat anymore..I still like to go to parties. So, the big question of the month is...

What are you gona be for Halloween?

I'm thinkin' about "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac"...yeah. But I have two friends who are gona be Jay & Silent Bob..they think I should be Dante, or Brodie...someone from those movies. But, me's loves the Johnny!

--I'd do what I planned for last year but never got around to: a drunken Scotsman. All I need is a plaid skirt and an empty whiskey bottle, and, of course, the accent. I figure I can use my niece as an excuse to go out this year....

[Nightflower]

As long as I can get away with it, you'll find me hitting the streets bugging people for candy. Ha ha! Screw you, eternally youthful appearances!

(Every other time of the year, it sucks looking like you're 12 years old)

Don't know yet. Like I said before, I would like to go as any of the Gotham Girls (Harley, Ivy, or Catwoman), but I don't know where I'd find the costume. I might just find a poofy dress, paint my face white and streak black under my eyes and fake blood everywhere.

[Bird Boy]

I'm not going out as anything..I'll probably just take my cousin around...

Last year, I went as..hehe..Batman....from what I can remember, I've gone as:

Han Solo
Batman (At least 4 times)
Mario (From Super Mario)

I would say my Han Solo one was the best...but I got alot of compliments on Mario...ahh...the fun of my youth.. :)

I doubt I'll get to dress up this year :( but I do have a funny Halloween costume story from several years ago...

One year, I dressed up as - are you ready for this? - a California Raisin. I kid you not! It was actually a pretty simple costume, a pre-made job that was probably bought at someplace like Target or Wal-mart... Anyway, the "raisin" was like an oval-shaped tunic that went over your head and came down to about the thighs... no head opening, just eyeholes right above the screened-on face of the California Raisin character. Which meant you couldn't eat anything while wearing this costume :p Put on some black leotards, white gloves and tennis shoes, and the costume was complete.

My family and I went to a kid-friendly-type Halloween party at a bowling alley. The California Raisin get-up must have been pretty convincing, because I kept getting followed by little kids who kept trying to peek under my costume, to see if I was a real raisin! :eek:

Needless to say, I never wore that costume again...

I've always wanted to go in the full Batman costume. No plastic wannabe costume, but in the actual gear, or at least how it should be in real life. Leather cowl, flowing cape. I'm not sure about the spandex, something cooler than spandex. And the bat grappling hook, I would hook onto people's bags and run away with them. That would be awesome. :D

[joker]

im not really the party goer and im not going trick or treating so no costume for me. my very last costume i wore to go trick or treating wasnt all the great, i hadnt lost all interst in trick or treaing yet but not enough or me to put any effort into my costume. all did was color my hair and wear a bowling shirt. my last good costume was a bum-pagliacci-joker costume that was really cool. after that, no real chances to wear costumes.

that would be a hard costume to pull off. like to see a picture of it if you decide to do it

[Trent Lane]

I've got one I made last year. I call it Robin Beyond, but it's really more like Skateboarder Robin. I made a black shirt with a red "R" on it, and some baggy black pants, along with a cape, gloves, and mask. I wore it at work since they let us dress up on Halloween. It's kind of goofy, but a lot of people really liked it...

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

I always used to be a pirate-sadly, no looting other kid's bags. ;)

You guys are lucky if you're going out for candy...in my town, 13 and older can't go out, due to some, uh, REAL 'tricks' being played by teens years ago...so I'm forced to just hand out candy to younger kids. I'll be going as myself this year, needless to say. :D

There's actual rules against going out if you're over 13? Man that's rough.

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not, but I think I could pass for 13 forever. Well, at least until I start showing gray. Which will hopefully be many, many, many years later. Or unless I hit my late, late growth spurt. You hear that body? growth spurt!

I'm not going as anything this year, but looking back, I never went as anything all that great. I was a weird little kid who would think up the strangest most un-halloweenie things to dress up as.

When I was in kindergarten, I went as a blue bunny rabbit. This is because my best friend at the time was a stuffed rabbit named Honey Bunny, and I wanted to be just like Honey Bunny.

When I was in first grade I went as a thing. I'm not sure what it was. I made my parents buy me a plastic top hat, even though I was supposed to be a farmer, I guess. Then they said it was too cold to go out trick or treating without a sweater, so I was a top hat wearin' farmer with a garfield sweater.

I'm pretty sure I was a ghost in second grade.

Then in fourth grade I went as a cat, I wanted to take my real cat with me, but couldn't....sigh.

In fifth grade, I was cat-person. I wore reguar clothes with just the tail, paws, and mask.

I'm going to be Batman this year!!! I'm not going trick or treating, but we get to dress up at school on the 31st, so i can show of my geek... uh, Bat-pride there:p

[frame runner]

I am currently in college, but I am going trick or treating anyway. Even if I have to go by my lonesome! I was thinking about dressing as spiderman or cyclopse (the x-man). But any kind of mask or visor is going to get annoying, especially if I am drinking. I really want to be something where I get to wear a fake muscle chest. Maybe I should rethink my costumes. Any suggestions? All the female costumes suck.

[RockItShipper]

Still thinking about my costume... I'll be 21 and a week old when Halloween rolls around, but I'm still dressing up without a doubt..
Just thinking it over....

Definitely want to make use of my Fett mask, but I think that's best suited for next year- with chibi-Boba being in "Ep2:Attack of the Clones"....

My little-little sister got the Hermione Granger school uniform costume at Toys R Us this past weekend... I wound up agreeing to read her the HP books out loud, because she wasn't interested... but now she loves 'em....

Dunno what Jojo's doing for Halloween, maybe hitting some parties with ner new boyfriend.... And I have even less of an idea what my older 1/2 sis is doing- but I don't think she's dressing up...

[Scythemantis]

Chibi-boba? Huh?


.....As anyone should know,I was born on halloween and consider it the greatest,most wonderful day on the calender (halloween...not my birthday...thats just a bonus.) Last year I was a fly.The year before I was ...uh...dunno...I had a horned helmet mask with a skull on top,a black sheet and a stick of driftwood with real animal skulls tied to it (we live by the woods so we just find that kinda stuff everywhere)

This year I want to go as something really,really cheap...i may take the classic sheet-with-eyeholes and draw "BOO! SKARY!" on it upside down.I`m weird that way.

Course I could always cut lots and lots of holes in it and go as charlie brown. :D

[Nightwing]

I haven't dressed up for Halloween in almost a decade, but my dream costumes for future Halloween shindigs are the following...

Nightwing
Cyclopse, of the X-Men
Krillin/Goku from Dragonball Z (they wear the same suit, give or take a few sizes :))

The outfits THOSE heroes wear make ANY normal shmoe like me look good. So I figure I've got a chance.

[batboy2001]

Krillin/Goku from Dragonball Z (they wear the same suit, give or take a few sizes ) Now that would be cool. I have never dressed up for halloween, and probaly never will, just not my holiday.

holloween is with out a doubt my favorite holiday of the year;)

[Danielle]

I got nothin' to worry about....I still got a couple of months to pick out a costume. :D But I was thinking of being....








































Wait for it....











































WAIT FOR IT.......





























































For gosh sakes, aren't you impatient! :D













































Keep going...







































....a table.

I'm serious. It's actually a really great costume. Take a round piece of cardboard with a hole in the middle, glue on some plates, cups, napkins, etc, and voila!

[Dante Bunny]

A komono, some sandals, and a fake sword, then I'll dress up as.....................................................................SAMURAI JACK!!!



If I find a robe that fit the deal then I'll go for it! :)

[Danielle]

And get fake eyes with REALLY large pupils. :D

[I.R Joey]

I'll spend all Hallows Eve as a nerd screenwriter/gamer/slash sci-fi entheusiast staring at a glowing screen. Either typing or practicing thumb exercises.

[Jack]

Can I be a Television set? It would go with Danielle's table costume, as well as everyone else's. Who DOESN'T watch TV?



Jack:D

[BourgeoisBuffoon]

SAID BY I.R. JOEY: I'll spend all Hallows Eve as a nerd screenwriter/gamer/slash sci-fi entheusiast staring at a glowing screen. Either typing or practicing thumb exercises.

Wow, that's what I'm probably going to do on that night as well, along with handing candy! Nice to know I won't be the only one spending the night inside...

...Though Danielle's takes the cake for being the most original in years. I only wonder how she thinks up these ideas...

[Fantasie117]

My friends and I are juniors in high school, and we're still planning on going out. My friend makes her own costumes. They usually turn out pretty cool. One year, she was Sasami from Tenchi Muyo! Except for the bow on her butt, she looked good. My other friend makes his, too...but they don't turn out so good.

Last year, I went as Angel (even though i'm a girl. Hey, it's Hallowe'en). I was dressed all in black with a leather coat and black halo. THe vampire thing wasn't working, so I started saying I was a dark angel. It was fun.

Hallowe'en rules :D

[batboy2001]

I always either watch a movie or play chess, for real!

[freakboy86]

Ahhh Halloween...the only holiday that is worth celebrating!
OK, I'm waaaaay too old to go trick-or-treating but still dress-up every year (even if I'm just gonna sit at home!) but haven't decided on this year's costume. So far I've narrowed it down to:
A) Robin (the Burt Ward version)
B) Joker
C) Sewer Urchin (from the Tick, yeah, definatly!)
so I've got a bit of work ahead of me.
As for previous costumes, well, as a child it was everything from a Stormtrooper to Batman, but as an adult (with more time/money/effort/imagination on my hands) I've dressed as Two-Face (man, that took some serious make-up work as well as having to sew together an entire 3-piece suit), a Borg (with small working robotic parts), Satan, Zorak and Barney Fife (hey, when you look like Don Knotts...work it!).

"Charlie Brown, I've learned that there are three things you never discuss in public: religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin."

[Kylewayne]

Halloween has to be one of my favorite holidays...
I once got dressed as a drunk man...easy to pull off...put my hair under a baseball cap...stuck on a moustach and wore torn jeans and a plaid shirt :D ...voilà being a man is simple...


Since I am old to be trick or treating...I stay home and give out candies or go to masquarade parties...This year I will probably dress up as Catwoman. I have no choice...my male friends insist on it :D I'll see though.

[don Jaime]

I haven't bothered with Halloween in years. No kids ever come down my little street and I don't like parties. If I get determined I may come up with something. Like an aloha shirt, shades, and a straw hat and I can be Principal Kuno. Or something.

The best old costumes of years past were Sherlock Holmes (neat hat!) and a doctor, which was just a white painter's coat and a toy stethescope. Sure got weird looks from kids who came to the door that year.

[The Dork Knight]

Here are what I would be if I had the time

Homer Simpson
Eminem
Cartman
Mankind (Complete with the myth, the legend.... MR. SOCKO!)

and last but not least.....
A DRAG QUEEN! :D

[Vigo Sprax]

I'm trying to get together with my friends to do somethign the Halloween, I don't want to sit around the house again...

I wanted to dye my hair either red or orange, for like the week oh Halloween, but I made the mistake of asking my mother what she thought of that...that got shot down real quick.

[Vigo Sprax]

I just learned that theres a spray on dye for your hair that will wash out, does anyone else know anything about this? Specifically a brand or where I could get it? If I did this I could color my hair at a friends house and wash it out later that night.

Most stores/supermarkets should have the spray/comb in stuff next to all the permenant hair dyes. Don't know any brands.

One thing about these dyes even if the are not permanent...if you have blond hair or dirty blond hair ...it will take more than one wash to get the colour out of your hair!...maybe even days. just don,t use Blue or red ...hard to wash out
:D

[Vigo Sprax]

Thanks for the tips on the hair stuff, I found one online called "Komb In" and I'll probably go to the drug store tomorrow and see whats up, I've got plenty of time though...I have dark brown hair so it sounds like I won't have to worry about it not washing out.

I knew a girl once who had blonde hair and she wanted to dye it green for St. Patricks day. She didn't have any hair coloring though, so what she did was make some sort of concoction which involved A LOT of green food coloring...Ah well, it turns out whatever kind she used didn't come out easily. For the rest of the school year, up to even the last day, her hair was tinted this disgusting green color.

[batboy2001]

Ooooh, nasty, Koolaide packets work, so I have heard.:D
