I am going to a steampunk convention in San Jose, and going to be doing some hardcore period dancing.

Oh man, I just realized I could go as Fat Cobra.

So I got up at 3AM after a long sleep because the pattern in which I sleep is silly, start cutting up bottles for the arm bits to be optimus prime, red teeshirt, red and blue poster paints, cutting bottles with a letter opener craft knife thingy when it slips.

Is now 6.37 in the morning and I spent the last 2 hours in A&E

IT WON'T STOP BLEEDING

I took a sheet of skin off my finger, not even just a ut but I remove a significant amount of skin, I feel like an idiot, costume had better be worth it.

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.

i'm going to be mario. even though the overalls were freaking expensive--$30?! all i need now is white gloves and a moustache.

I have a pretty large beard. Pretty large beards have hindered my halloween costume plans so now I am down to zombie Jesus, zombie Rabbi or zombie lumberjack.

Is there anything else I could be going as that is pretty awesome with a beard?

Ozymandias · « **Reply #106 on:** 24 Oct 2008, 00:04 »

Lumberjack Jesus.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #107 on:** 24 Oct 2008, 00:28 »

He was a carpenter so he might have done his fair share of lumberjacking in his time. Sounds like a plan.

On a different note does anyone know a good way to stop poster paint flaking off a drinks bottle? If I mix it with PVA to make it acrylic like paint would that help?

jodizzle · « **Reply #108 on:** 24 Oct 2008, 01:43 »

On further consideration, I might dress up as my style icon/all round hero:

I have a bunch of rad 80s clothes somewhere. Ok by somewhere I mean in my drawers.

Patrick · « **Reply #109 on:** 24 Oct 2008, 02:12 »

I kindof don't know what I want to be. It's probably going to be some kind of old-school punk rocker though because I've got my long curly blonde wig, a ridiculously abused budget-brand guitar (bonus points for spraypaint, stickers, and a missing middle pickup), torn jeans, and disgustingly worn-out black Chuck Taylors.

Alternately, I could just not dress up this year since it's way more effort than it's worth to actually dress up for Halloween when I live in Bumfuck.

Beren · « **Reply #110 on:** 24 Oct 2008, 07:38 »

I had planned to go as Dr. House, and just be moody and pop skittles from a pill bottle all night, but after 8 margaritas and a trip to Target, my friends and I decided to theme it up.

So now I'm going as Sir Topemhat, and the two of them have children sized Thomas the Tank engine costumes. At least I get a whistle.

I am dressing up as a 19th Century gentleman with a possible demonic possession/vampirism/lycanthropy. I will be wearing a monocle because why wouldn't I.

GnarlsBroccoli · « **Reply #116 on:** 25 Oct 2008, 07:49 »

Watching some True Blood lately, eh?

bainidhe_dub · « **Reply #117 on:** 25 Oct 2008, 08:36 »

I am going to Manda's party, and I have finally gotten shit together for the boy and I to be Peter and Lois from Family Guy. There are a few sewing alterations to be done, but I got complete costumes for both of us for like $27 at Goodwill. I'm going to dye my hair red too. Photos once it's all done.
Meanwhile, we are working at a haunted trail this month. But since we are not actors, but technicians who sit very still in the woods and push buttons, we just bundle up. I look absurd once I'm all dressed - XL flannel pajamas over my jeans, the other night I had two hats on, etc - but at least I'm warm.

Not seen a single episode. I did however recently re-buy Bram Stoker's Dracule.

I was considering being lipstick on a pitbull, but i have no idea how to be a pitbull, other than, like, going around biting people. But then of course my lipstick would get smudged!

Now I want to be a ninja to go with a friend who was going to be a pirate (yeah, I know I'm late), but she wants us to go as Betty and Veronica (um... way late?), since she's blonde and I'm a brunette.

...or we could just go with a few other friends as Greek gods and goddesses, which might be more appreciated if we go to the university president's house at the beginning of the night to trick or treat. (He and his wife live in the woods and give out cookies! It's adorable.)

Peet · « **Reply #120 on:** 25 Oct 2008, 16:32 »

I will be joining the fencing club's halloween pub crawl dressed as some kind of demon/zombie/reaver fencer. I have a mask and jacket and glove to mutilate in some ingenious ways, and i'll scatter blood and paint my face under the bits of the mask I rip. Perhaps there will be some kind of sword accessory.

vegkitkat · « **Reply #121 on:** 25 Oct 2008, 17:15 »

This year my friends and I are doing a Batman villain themed Halloween. I'll be going as Harley Quinn, my boyfriend as the Joker, and then we have a Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and possibly a Penguin, Two-face, and Riddler. It should be quite awesome.

Next year, we're planning as either going as characters from One Piece or Mario Party characters.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #122 on:** 25 Oct 2008, 18:33 »

Oh yeah, and just because I already decided on next year's costume, in '09 I will be going as Zombie Jesus. I already look the part and all i need is a bit less blubber on me.

Liz · « **Reply #123 on:** 25 Oct 2008, 19:13 »

Everyone is always Zombie _______.

I am not sure how I feel about this?

sean · « **Reply #124 on:** 25 Oct 2008, 19:16 »

You feel excellently.

Because zombies are awesome.

Liz · « **Reply #125 on:** 25 Oct 2008, 19:17 »

So I should be a zombie pirate this year?

That seems like a lot to do.

sean · « **Reply #126 on:** 25 Oct 2008, 19:20 »

You need to now.

It's mandatory.

Jace · « **Reply #127 on:** 25 Oct 2008, 19:35 »

I redecided my costume, I'm going to be going as a zombie zombie.

Nah, just kidding, I'm going as a luchador with a backup costume of Kung Fu Fighter.

To my knowledge, no one answered BK about a pumpkin thread...sooooooooo, I'm posting mine here!

Sorry for the poor picture quality...I had to take it with my phone, since my camera is at school and I am at my sisters. I think it turned out fairly well considering I am totally lame.

blanktom · « **Reply #130 on:** 26 Oct 2008, 01:00 »

I only need two more boxes then I can start glueing, cellotaping and painting.

For this year, I am going to a party as a Tetris piece.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #131 on:** 26 Oct 2008, 02:09 »

Awesome plumpkin

Gingernut · « **Reply #132 on:** 26 Oct 2008, 03:21 »

last year we zombied it up, this year, I'm not sure. I might just dig out the zombie dress and makeup and do that again.

The zombie dress is probably pretty mouldy by now. Adds to realism, I guess.

valley_parade · « **Reply #133 on:** 26 Oct 2008, 06:24 »

The Damaged are playing a reunion show in town, YESSSSSSSS.

I am not dressing up this year.

I hate that I have to go out of town for a wedding on Halloween. Well the wedding is the day after, but in order to be there on time we have to drive down Friday night. I suppose I could always follow the zombie trend. It seems like something I can do without much of a costume...

I just want to know WHY THE HELL they had to make their stupid wedding on the day after halloween... I don't even know the people getting married... they are my boyfriend's extended family and his car has no tag at the moment so I am stuck driving. /grumblegrump

Two bands I really like, Shellac and Les Savy Fav, are playing over Halloween, but tickets are a bit steep so I decided to head for cheaper venues: gothic country on Thursday, and I might go to Dead and Buried on Friday. Saturday my friends are having a party, which will be absolute wank.

Don't really have any costumes, but in the past I've gone as a "cereal killer" wielding an empty box and a fake knife. :/

Dude, i went out today and got a can of glow in the dark hairspray, and two cans of silly string, one blue and one red. i have no idea what i'm going to do, but it'll be awesome whatever it is.

My girlfriend has decided to go as Sarah Palin (I love my girlfriend so much)

So now I have the choice to go as John McCain or Hopey Hussein.

So, Hallowe'en thread, who do I go as, and how do I go about making myself look like them?

Ã¶de · « **Reply #143 on:** 27 Oct 2008, 00:37 »

I'm sure there's a forum somewhere dedicated to it, seeing as it's such a popular idea.

StaedlerMars · « **Reply #144 on:** 27 Oct 2008, 05:00 »

Guys, i am in need of a brown leather trench coat. If I get it my costume is complete.

I don't want to buy one cause, to be fair, wearing a brown leather trench coat makes you look like a pedophile. Also I don't really have the money.

I did that last year. It didn't go so well.

Holy shit Johnny. Is SO good. Is SO manly.

Also I have changed my mind (since Eraserhead baby would be expensive at this point) and am going to be Kakihara from Ichi The Killer.
