As stated in the Invader Zim thread my brother and I are going as Dib and Gaz. *Where* we are going, I don't yet know. We moved into this apartment a few days before Halloween last year, and not a SINGLE trick-or-treater came by, so we won't be botheirng to stay home to hand out candy this year.

Well, I wanna go as Frankie or Raven(Teen Titans), but since I have a perpetually empty wallet, I'll probably go as a karate-type-person(I take lessons, so I have a uniform) or Darth Vader like Cassini. XD I have the costume from when I played Vader in the movie me and my friends made at filmmaking class.

Ah Halloweewn. My Christmas.I'll probobly be me, take my 1 yo nephew to the local mall and show him off for some candy. I <3 candy.

More than likely, I'll just be at home doing nothing, except maybe watch something on the tube.

Watching lots and lots and lots of horror movies.

Giving people candy (duh!).

And telling my dog to stop barking at the trick or treaters every 5 seconds.

Halloween = my favorite holiday. I play it up every year! This year I'm going as a cenobite from Hellraiser. I'm not being a specific one, so I figured I'd get creative and make up my own and make my own vinyl dress and everything. If anyone asks, I'll just tell them that the Chatterer is my boyfriend 8D Hey the forsaken bad guys need lovin', too.

this year I'm going out as Doug Funnie... and if that doesn't work, I can always kick my richie obsession to the next level and go as him. XD Either way no one will probably even know I actually dressed up, since both of their "costumes" are so plain.

10-04-2006, 08:27 AM

Is it that time of year again?

I usually get the cheapest, nastiest boiled sweets to give to trick or treaters. It amuses me greatly to see them gobbed out in local streets next morning.

HappyFoppy

10-04-2006, 10:40 AM

Nah,I'm going to stay home to watch scary movies,while eating candy.

Me too. I hate Halloween.

If anyone asks for candy, I usually give them coffee or plastic (just kidding.)

Years ago one lunatic in my old neighborhood got arrested for handing out chocolate Ex-Lax with the words scraped off. I guess he missed one.

Medikor

10-04-2006, 12:47 PM

I may be the one passing out the treat's this year. I learned long ago that it's easyer to just stay home and eat the leftover handouts.8D
If I had the full get up, I would dress up as a knight. But I'm short a helm, mail, tunic, boot's, sheild and gauntlets. But I DO have a sword and Halberd! But I won't have those out when handing out candy. I'd probobly get a visit from the police.
I'm not into scary movie's, but I do enjoy the documentorie's on stuff like ghost's and vampire's. I'm a Sasquatch and Nessie fan and I've also had some real life ghost encounters (no one believes me, though:( ) I enjoy the legands of monsters and stuff. You guy's can keep the scary movie's.:D

PS: Have fun and be safe this Halloween, guy's! Free candy and dressing up if fun, but there are some real sicko's out there. So be safe and have fun. :)

HappyFoppy,I don't hate Halloween. I think it's a great and fun holiday.

The reason I stay home with the movies and candy is that I'm 35. I'm too old to go trick or treating. Now if I were 10,I'd defently be out there getting my share.

HF,you should enjoy this holiday while you're still young enough to enjoy it.

Tip: buy candy the day afeter haloween adn or easter. it's all REALLY cheap then.

I really doubt I'll be dressing up and going out this year... but if I did, I'd go as Gregory House from House M.D., probably my current all-time favorite TV character that isn't a redhead caretaker.

lucyrocks73

10-04-2006, 05:45 PM

I am moving next week, therefore I am going trick or treating.

I believe I am going as Frankie, but only because it's easy, cheap, and I already own the perfect sweatshirt.

And then if people comment that I'm too old to trick or treat, I will just say that I'm taking my brother around.

My mother wants me to go as an angel, because my six year old brother is going as a devil.

How old am I, seven?

Ah, Halloween. Typically, I'd pull a few pranks on trick-or-treaters, but I think I'm going to pass this year. I don't mean to sound like an emo teenager or anything, but my grandmother recently passed away, and her birthday happened to be on Halloween. It's a little hard for me, for I was very close to her and even made a few hardy jokes on her birthday being on Halloween.

Well, now I'm going off-topic. Most likely, I'll spend most of the day at campus and the rest of the evening with my mom. I'll also call my grandfather to see how hes coping up with the recent loss, study for any exams or quizzes that week, and pass out expired candy whenever someone comes at the door.

...I'm joking about the last part. I'll most likely pick up a bag of candies on my way back from class (I live close to a Wal-Mart, but I fret about how crowded it'll be on the 31st).

BlooCheese

10-07-2006, 09:14 PM

Haha you could do like a bunch of other girls have started doing and go as an "angel", which nowadays is pretty much lingerie and a halo + wings. There's no costume involved! Just panties and accessories!

Oh well... Call 'em angels, call 'em trampy, but I call 'em FREEZING COLD!

THOSE THINGS ARE ANGELS?! ...I thought angels wore long white robes...
Angels normally represent things that are pure and good and righteous, but people running around in their undewear? That's far from pure. :P

Well, that's the way it works nowadays. Most girls go out to get/make their costumes and instead of thinking "What would be most creative that nobody else will think of?", they're thinking "What would be most revealing to attract the most guys?". Ugh, it makes me sick. What happened to the sheet over the head thing? I miss those days. ::)

Yay... huzzah to guys who don't buy that whole thing that trampy, half-naked girls are the only ones to shoot for.

The only time I ever wore any sort of "sexy" costume was whenever I had to dress that way for a play I did. I had to wear a leotard and pantyhose with cat ears and a tail with a bowtie and white cuffs. I looked fine, but I honestly don't see how the girls who dress that way for Halloween wear it the entire evening without feeling uncomfortable. I usually wear a t-shirt and jeans, so I had a hard time seeing my friends in the audience dressed like that. I can't imagine going to any sort of party feeling half naked.

Mr. Marshmallow

10-11-2006, 09:18 PM

I don't dress up for Halloween anymore, just cosplays for anime and comic conventions and such. I do remember like 90% of everything I DID dress up for Halloween over the years:

Mario (Mario Bros.)
Batman
Ghostbuster
The Riddler
Donald Duck (I was really little)
3 Headed monster
Godzilla
Lizard thing
Giant Vampire bat
Jason Voorhees

YAY I finally finished sewing my Halloween costume! It was kinda hard because it's a long vinyl dress and the material kept sticking to itself and the sewing machine's presser foot, not to mention I had to pin it minimally because it IS a vinyl material and any pinholes in it are there permanently.

*Sigh of relief* But I got it done, and it fits beautifully like a glove. Easily my favorite thing I've ever made.

Halloween is huger than ever here this year. Much bigger than it's ever been previously. I don't mind really because it's a fun festival and upsets some really uptight people.

I'm a little bit sorry it's replacing our local festivals though. Halloween is too close to our Nov 5 celebration, Guy Fawkes Night where we make huge fires and let off fireworks to celebrate a failed terrorist attack in 1605. This however is only scratching the surface, after talking to locals in my adopted home of Manchester it turns out that Trick or Treating is remarkably similar to a practice known as 'Copper Coaling'(sic) that seems to have died out at least 20-30 years ago and took place at this time of year(Samain). Children would annoy their neighbours by turning up with a copper pot and some peices of coal and sing a little song (fal-ala-loo!) for which they would recieve treats.

Even weirder is the Mayday tradition of 'Polly dancers' where little boys would dress as little girls and get money from their neighbours. This androgynous pagan throwback was last performed in Manchester during the 1950s and may be linked to Morris dancing which is largely a Victorian invention.

There. I don't suppose anyone's too interested but it's nice to think this old knowledge is recorded somewhere. Happy Halloween everybody!

I had costume issues. My mother wanted to wait until the last minute to get our costumes, because she heard from a friend that they're cheaper closer to Halloween.

I would like to point out that almost all costumes for people over the age of twelve are skanky and slutty.

Therefore, I found nothing. Partially because every store we went to was practically empty, and also because I could never make up my mind.

So I decided to go as Darth Vader because my brother has a toy lightsaber and a Darth Vader voice changer mask.

My dad was kind enough to buy me a little kid's Darth Vader suit at the drug store today for six bucks so I could use the cape and belt.

I've got a black sweater an an old pair of black dance pants as my outfit...

I checked about ten minutes ago, and it looks like the voice changer's batteries are dead. Oh, well. At least it looks better than the stupid foam one that came with the little kid's costume.

Hey, I'm just happy to have a costume- there are plenty of people who can't afford to buy a costume.

An Open Letter to the Lady Who Gave Me Seedless Raisins

Dear LWGMSR,

I bet you thought you were pretty clever, hiding your dried, withered grapes among the delectable chocolate treats. I don't know what you were trying to do, but whatever it was, it was not appreciated. I don't even like raisins, but even if I did I'd rather have candy. Halloween is not the time to think about being healthy. Halloween is the time to demand high-calorie confections from strangers. Maybe now, you'll realize that.

Yours truly,

10-31-2006, 10:46 PM

Aha. It's over. I've had a party, but didn't go trick-or-treat because I got tired and my eye was puffy or something and I just went home. -_-
Me and my friends put up a running gag with "very" ""very"" "normal" ""normal"" """normal""" dinner etc., Dr. Evil style. (you know, with your fingers next to your head.) It wasn't that normal because the olives had small eyes on them and little wooden sticks out of them as legs and there was pea soup with peas in it - only they look just like eyes. (Woohoo.) Also, I played the few beginning lines of Tocatta on a piano for Halloween scary... stuff. Was kinda fun. And I did eat something. Candy. I just thought 'Not the one that looks like...' FINGERS. Exactly. There was finger shaped candy. xD 1 Lollipop, A Strawberry Fruitella small candy thing, and a few of those long red wires. And a small piece of french bread with some butter on it. But the best thing was yet to happen: Marshmallows! (lol - i don't eat forum members >=D) I ate 3 of them - 2 were a bit burnt, hehehe. Overall, the party was kinda cool, but there wasn't much to do. :jk:

LOL "hours". :jk: I spent a month on mine/my brother's costumes. 8D I take this Halloween thing very seriously. ;)

Well, my bro had requested the day off from work, but they called him in anyways and he didn't get home until after 3. We put on our Dib and Gaz outfits and headed downtown, but there wasn't anything to do so we drove back to our home area - which took forever because of traffic. (We would have stayed downtown for the late showing of Killer Klowns From Outer Space but my brother couldn't get the next day off, and he thought we'd be out to late if we went to the movie.) We went to dinner about 7 and when we were done at 8-ish we just went home. Nobody recognized who we were supposed to be, though a couple people liked my wig and tights. When we got home we sat around in costume, watching the unaired MST3K Venezuela short, waiting for trick-or-treaters; but like last year, there were none. And that was it. :P Well, at least we now have costumes for the Con. I'll post pictures later.

I took my 17 Month old son out. He was a Pumpkin. My wife would not let me dress him up as Bloo. Besides I really do not have time for sewing (I still have 5 panels left to the curtains from last year.:'( )

All the same it was fun, he loved being in his waggon in the Dark and meeting the neighbors. not to mention now my wife and I get to eat all the candy. He gets to keep the toddler safe treats.

Next year he will proboly dress as a fosters character, since his third Favorate show is Fosters. His First is Gonzo presents: Muppet Wierd Stuff and second is Elmo's World.

I was a cenobite from the Hellraiser movies! :D I didn't get a full pic of my costume, but I can describe it. It was a long black form-fitting shiny vinyl dress with matching arm-warmer things that I wrapped tightly with silver wire. I wrapped the same wire around my waist.

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/scary_dream/CenobiteandEthan.jpg Here's my friend Cool Ethan and I.

And yes, I used real fish hooks ;) I didn't want to go as the Female cenobite, so I made up my own and said I was the Chatterer's girlfriend 8D

I eventually added more fish hooks, and I got pictures of it, but I've yet to upload those.

I tried to win a costume contest, but some girl in one of those store-bought "sexy version of..." Dorthy costumes won instead. I was irritated, expecially since I spent so long on my dress... at least a month and a half. They went by applause instead of costume quality, and the girl brought all her friends, so she won. I didn't have anyone there that I knew, so I got the "Drink Coke, play again" applause. Not everyone even knew what Hellraiser was.

The most rewarding part of the evening, though, was whenever several 30-40 year-old guys recognised what I was supposed to be and really liked my costume. These guys had actually watched and liked the gore-fest Hellraiser movies, so I knew they were a pretty good reference.

Sparky

11-02-2006, 12:25 AM

You know, I've yet to see any of the Hellraiser movies. I lose at life.

I seriously think that storebought costumes, unless seriously altered/embellished, should simply not be allowed in costume contests. :P I'm sure you all agree.

Okay here's the photos of me and my bro. We didn't have a third person to take a pic of us together unfortunately. I do not know why my wig came out so blue here - it IS purple. I actually played with the red and blue in Paintshop and it still looks blue. Just imagine it purple. And it's hard to see, but there's a GameSlave 3 logo on my Gameboy.

Well, Halloween was... exhausting. I had classes till seven and wasn't even in the mood to do anything but lay on the couch. Sadly, a few trick-or-treaters did come, and I really did end up giving them candy I had from last year. Gosh, I hope they won't get sick from it...

On the bright side, this one kid dressed up as a skeleton did scare me. It reminded me of all the bones I had to memorize earlier in the semester. D:
