Halloween is quite possibly my favorite time of the year. What do you kids have planed? Who isn't too old to dress up?

I am contemplating having a rock band 2 party. Costumes would be required. If I don't do that I may just go up to the parade, and get drunk, and dancing around. And handing out roses. I am going to be a doll. It's up in the air if I will go with my original plan to be a Coin Operated Girl, but I probably will. I am thinking of buying a bouquet of black roses, mainly because I wanted one black one for my hair, and it is cheaper to by a whole bouquet, and wouldn't it be fancy to hand out roses to strangers? Who wouldn't want a rose from a life sized doll?

So far my only problems with my costume are my make up, and my shirt. My shirt is a little... uh....low cut. As in, very very low cut. As in I am afraid of flashing people. My make up is just a pain because I can't find any powder, and grease paint looks too fake.

I am going as a pirate because I realized this year that I had never done it before. Plus I already had tall boots, cut off pants, a white ruffly blouse, and a vest. So I went to Savers and bought a hat, sword, hook, eye patch, and earring for cheap.

i'm contemplating either being a soldier or being Mario. It'll just involve a run to walmart and checking whats more easily available, a pair of fatigues or overalls.

KickThatBathProf · « **Reply #3 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 18:30 »

Mario would be much cooler, especially with an egregious moustache

Halloween isn't really that big in Australia. However, we have a token American in our house, so there's been talk around my house about having a Spinal Tap themed party. I will be procuring some kind of wig and handle-bar moustache, I imagine! Or maybe I could go as Stonehenge... Hmm.

Also, Emaline, I suppose you're talking about white powder and maybe foundation as well? My advice would be to implant some kind of tracking device into a local Goth, then release them into the wild. They will undoubtedly lead you to a large cache of white powder and foundation.

nobo · « **Reply #5 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 18:40 »

yeah... i've been growing my mustache out for about a month and a half now and its really pissing me off. i can't eat without having to pick all sorts of stuff out of the corners of it at the end of the meal. So I don't think the stache is going to make it past this weekend.

My friend is playing a punk show that night, so thats what I think I should do. I mean, what is better than punx on Halloween?

Dimmukane · « **Reply #7 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 18:53 »

I'm going as a zombie retail employee. Cutting and burning bits of my old Michael's apron and throwing flour at my face. Camping out in my friend's backyard, using my sleeping arrangement as a means to an end.

I'm going to the annual Halloween party at the local bar that I frequent. I'll be dressed as "the cat's pajamas": wearing pajamas, ears, a tail, and cat makeup. The new PJs I bought for the costume are so cute and warm and soft! I have to talk myself out of wearing them to bed every night because I want them to be fresh for my costume. After that, I'll probably live in them.

It's a bummer I won't be off work that day (many Nevadans are, as October 31st is also Nevada Day) or the next day, but I'm pretty excited!

P.S. I know that I won't actually be the cat's pajamas but, rather, a cat in pajamas, but I still think it's cute. My mom stole my costume idea when I told her. Bitch. At least we don't live in the same city.

My neighbor does a haunted house every year and i usually participate. I am going as a creepy scarecrow this year. Where can i get me a burlap bag?

My housemates and I are havin' a party. I am dressing up with my friend as the McPoyle brothers from the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

My band is playing a gig on Halloween in full Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band uniforms. Complete with acoustic covers of Smack That, Bump N' Grind, and Because I Got High.

I don't know if I want to be Horatio Caine or a Lolcat. Please advise.

I would love to hear how you plan to go about being an Lolcat and then advise you to DO IT!

imapiratearg · « **Reply #15 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 19:41 »

Seconded.

My Halloween plans may involve zombies. I don't know yet.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #16 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 19:41 »

As Violentdove mentioned Halloween isn't very big here and generally if kids show up at my door asking for sweets I give them a stern lecture about how we don't do that here and how asking strange people for candy is probably the dumbest thing you could do. I then proceed to force them to watch me eat a Mars Bar while I cackle madly.

This year my girlfriend is having a halloween/housewarming party at her place and I'm going as a shadow. A black gauze mask, black t-shirt, jeans and boots, black leather gloves and a black trenchcoat pretty much pull this whole thing together. I'm also not going to talk to anyone and I might follow some people around mimicking what they do.

Social Bacon · « **Reply #17 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 19:44 »

STEAMPUNK!
Ok, yes, I hate how genres now all seem to have -punk or -core added onto the end of them but I really love this art style. I've got a tuxdeo jacket and shirt, a nice vest, and am getting a cravat. To up the punx I've got a pair of fingerless work gloves, some old school motorcycle goggles and I'm looking for a pair of engineer boots. A pocket watch is also on the "to buy" list.
Oh, and the party will consist of getting drunk with everyone on campus.

Edit: Hopefully I can get some pictures of my ensemble because I face a dilemma: with a black jacket and grey vest should I wear black or grey pants?

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #18 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 19:51 »

Either could work but my gut says to match the vest and the trousers.

ViolentDove · « **Reply #19 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 19:58 »

Steampunk- I hate the name, but love the aesthetic. A flintlock might be a nice addition, and consider some type of hat, maybe?

Liz · « **Reply #20 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 20:41 »

I still think you should dress as a vampire.

Social Bacon · « **Reply #21 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 21:21 »

A blond vampire?
Though he has the hair to slick back in the classic Dracula look...

Liz · « **Reply #22 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 21:41 »

Actually he doesn't, I was just basing it off of the fact that he is really pale and I would like to see him in formal wear.

öde · « **Reply #23 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 21:58 »

I am hosting a huge party in my friend's old mansion. Apparently there are over 500 people coming. I hope they don't all turn up with friends. I don't think I'll be in fancy dress, which is odd for me.

Jace · « **Reply #24 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 22:15 »

I'm thinking about going to a Halloween party as a luchador, I just need to get tights. Shouldn't be that hard. If I have time I'll get two pairs and make the crotch be like, golden or something ridiculous that. Yeah, something that's just ridiculous.

Now where do I find tights?

GnarlsBroccoli · « **Reply #25 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 22:16 »

Zombie is always a good idea, but this year I will be dressing up as Bill Nye the Science Guy.

I suppose I could even turn that into a zombie Bill Nye......Bill Nye the Zombie Guy

Cartilage Head · « **Reply #26 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 22:18 »

Nobody liked my idea of forumites dressing up as eachother. I thought it was awesome. Anyway the main thing I am doing is attending The Rocky Horror Picture Show for my fourth year in a row. I'm actually doing a theme this year, so it should be great.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #27 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 22:18 »

I was thinking of going as a washed up Joker. I'd wear a wife beater, boxers, slippers, and the Joker makeup with my hair dyed. Maybe even talk about the good old days with Batsy and how good Harley was for me.

I'll probably just wear my hoodie with a hockey mask again.

That reminds me, is anyone going to start a pumpkin thread or should we post them here?

GnarlsBroccoli · « **Reply #28 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 22:27 »

come on, that is hilarious...you should do that.

De_El · « **Reply #29 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 22:42 »

My roommate has been pressuring me into dressing up with him like a droog, but I think I might end up being Carrie, mostly out of laziness. Alls ya need is a dress, a wig, and a bunch of ~~pig's~~fake blood. Yes I did get this idea from Rotten Tomatoes.

Melodic · « **Reply #30 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 23:25 »

I need Halloween ideas for a dude with no sense of anything.

maxusy3k · « **Reply #31 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 23:27 »

I was planning on going to my local rock club but since it is closed and 'relocating' to another premises for the event, I might give it a miss. The usual DJ is away on a cruise or something and the guy who replaces her is just AWFUL. As it is it looks like I'm probably just going to a friend's party... might suggest dragging round my Xbox and Rock Band, that always ends well.

As for costume, I picked up a black and white jester / harlequin outfit and will be going with a black and white facepaint look. Did a trial run of it last Saturday and it looks pretty damn disturbing. Good times!

Next Sunday, though it is obviously not Halloween, there is a Zombie Walk through my town which should be a lot of fun, I'm trying to get as many people as I know to go along. Thinking of just going as an 'average' zombie, though with some iPod earphones in... the wire leading through a blood-stained hole in my shirt, with some blood coming from my ears.

I'm surprisingly not excited about Halloween this year, though, which is odd. Usually I can't wait... this year I seem more excited about Xmas but I think that's because I've spent the last three weeks spending my entire wagepackets on other people's presents.

I'm going to go to my internship dressed in a giant hot dog costume, then go home, eat candy and watch my 25th anniversary DVD of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Zombie Walk

All this time I've spent wishing my little town was cool enough to have a large, organized zombie event of any kind and I'm not going. There's a Zombie Crawl this year, with all the major bars and clubs on the main drag participating. I don't think I have the energy or dedication to make myself up like a proper zombie. I always thought I would, but I never thought I'd have to prove it. Plus, it's on Halloween itself and I kinda have to go to the party. I guess that'll be my excuse this year.

maxusy3k · « **Reply #34 on:** 21 Oct 2008, 23:39 »

Yeah, I was amazed to see there was going to be one in Blackpool, so I feel I kind of owe it to the organisers to go, try and put Blackpool 'on the map' a bit more for events that don't revolve drunken stag / hen weekends and cheap lays. I wanted initially to go with all my friends as a zombie stag party but don't really have the time or money to organise that, get cheap and offensive t-shirts printed etc.

I'm glad it's not on Halloween, since as you said... parties to go to etc, I can't imagine it getting a big turnout if they did it then.

Lots of people I know are having Halloween parties but I don't think I'm actually invited to any.

If I do, though, I have my costume selected (I do have to procure almost every article but that should not be hard)

I am going to be Elwood Blues.

I've been invited to a Halloween party. Apparently it will be mandatory to wear a costume.

I'm thinking of putting on my pin-stripe jacket, silk tie, nice trousers and shoes and wearing a sign around my neck like a beggar that says "Will screw the global economy for $700 billion."

There's a theme-park close to my house called Wonderland and in October they have "Fearfest". Basically they go all out to scare the shit out of you...

So I'm gonna get drunk, get bundled up (it will be cold, I am not happy about this) and hope I don't have a heart attack.
