We all know what day it is tomorrow (at least in the US, I don't remember which other countries also celebrate it), what's your costume?


I came up with two, which is less likely to scare the little kids who come to the door looking for candy?

This doctore harlequin mask:


Or this welding helmet?

neither.  both give a really good halloween vibe! 

Our trick-or-treating was tonight, had the usual 400 - 500 kids.  I had to work, and missed it, but I'm not too upset - I've been reprising my role in the ghost tour at our local theatre, so I get to dress and get made up as a dead theatre critic whose typewriter exploded when he got too critical of one particular actor... everything is scorched looking, and there are typewriter keys embedded in my face and scalp.  The return lever is sticking straight out of my chest.  It's a lot of fun!

No party plans but I'll wear my Paksenarrion costume this evening just in case some trick-or-treaters show up.

Carl, that sounds like an amazing costume! I hope you get a picture!

I'm dressing up as Lumpy Space Princess tonight. A few of us are dressing up as characters from Adventure Time, it'll be awesome. (We'll have Fiona, Jake, Princess Bubblegum, BMO, and Marcelline and maybe one or two more.)

I was standing waiting for the train and I kept seeing people in costumes. I spent a good 10 minutes wondering what was up with all the cosplayers and if maybe there was a convention on or something, and then I realised which day it is. Durr me are smart

There's a story my mom told me about one Halloween several years back when the place she was working at had a costume contest. People kept asking her, "Have you seen the one night stand?" When she saw the one night stand, it became obvious: a woman had dressed as a night stand with the number 1 painted on it.  :claireface:

Saskatoon statue gets Halloween makeover



It's not uncommon to see the Denny Carr statue dressed up along Spadina Crescent.

Once in a while, a practical joker will slip a sweatshirt over the statue dedicated to the long-time Saskatoon radio personality and community volunteer. Other days, a T-shirt or muscle shirt is placed over the statue, which is in a runner's pose because Carr was an avid jogger. 

But today, the statue got its most elaborate makeover for Halloween. Someone transformed the statue into Optimus Prime, a character from the Transformers franchise of films, cartoons and toys.

A Paksenarrion costume sounds awesome.

Silver mail (knitted from silver yarn), blue surcote with Gird's crescent and cudgel on the front, grey cloak. Top it off by belting on a sword. Nothing that special.

Ok, it seems like both masks are scaring the small kids equally, but the dads seem to like the welding helmet, I can hear them saying "Whoa" approvingly all the way from the sidewalk.

And here's the group! (Blurred out little L's face because reasons.)



I had fun with this. I think I'll put a little more effort into it and turn it into a cosplay. Also, you can't see it, but Michael (BMO) had a controller wired into his pocket.

Heh. I considered something along the lines, yeah.
However, I ended up spending the evening with friends planning our conference and when we were done, I celebrated Halloween by going home and getting 9 hours of sleep :3

I enjoyed Halloween. I sat out front in a camp chair with Reese's and the garden hose, and set my breaking point for which you were gonna get at about 12 yrs old.

I went as Hellboy, and my smooch-buddy as Jamie from GWS. We may have also discovered glow-sticks. And may have also gotten carried away with glow-sticks. :psyduck:
