Halloween costume help

[habernac]

anyone going as a dancing Fata? That'd be funny!

[Wookie]

I go as a Sailor every year. It's sota become a sad joke between myself and my friends..

[JBR]

I'm going to work as an underpaid/overworked, disgruntled peon that works for a Fortune 500 company and comes to work with a loaded pistol and bottle of gin...

Just for practice, I dress like this every Monday to Friday from 7:30 to 5pm.

One of my better costumes was when I went as Bert of Sesame Street. I bought a cone head painted my face and head yellow, glued on a piece of a black beard to the top. I used a orange clown nose and made a long mono eye brow from the beard. Then all you need is a blue sweater with taped on orange lines.

I had lots of fun and people liked it. Only problem is I had no Ernie and everyone asked me "Where is Ernie?"

this is what me and two buddies are doing during the bust loose halloween pub crawl.

So a rabbi, a priest and an indian walk into a bar...
We are going to find all the jokes that start with that and tell that to everybody when we walk into a bar.

Hope everyone gets the picture of what we are dressing up as.

All I know is I'm growing a moustache. I don't know what for, but whatever it is it will include a gigantic hair lip.

Oh yeah, a moustache can be very versatile at Halloween. The best one I ever came up with was "Rogue Cop From 70's".

Speaking of moustaches, this year I think I might go as a boy scout leader, and I look extremely creepy with a moustache, so I would be a creepy boy scout leader.

I'm dressing as a hockey player. All I need is my regular clothes and a picket sign.

[Dedly]

I'm going to be Miroslav Satan for the 2nd year in a row. I've got a Buffalo jersey and sewed on vinyl lettering of "SATAN" and "666" on the back, with "666"s on the arms. Along with the huge red devil mask I have, hockey pants, gloves, and a hockey stick (modified so it's a stick blade at one end, pitchfork on the other)... it looks pretty good. :P

I'm going as a playboy talent scout again this year, and my buddy is going to be a photographer. It never seems to get old...

[BlackArcher101]

I'll be going as a SWAT team member. Having a tough time deciding if I should leave the paintball gun at home or take it with me, since it's a replica of an mp5. hmmm... man dressed in black full SWAT gear, with a replica of an automatic gun, walking around in the dark. This could be fun!!

Bah, they'll never let me in the bars with it... better leave it at home.

[The Goon]

I am going as Janet Jackson. I will have a wig, a bustier, a black skirt, makeup, etc. I am still trying to figure out how to create a fake boob to hang out.

Man, I have seen some funny ones over the years. I knew a guy that went as Mr T on year, except he was white. All it took was a lot of dark makeup, a reverse mohawk, cheap jewelery, combat boots and jogging pants.

I think the funniest thing about it was the guy was a skinhead, so it was kinda like somebody from the Black Panthers dressing up in a KKK suit...I thought he was going to get SERIOUS beats but all the black guys we came across thought it was hilarious.

Magnum PI is another that I saw pulled off quite well (yet another handy use for a moustache). Easy to do as well: Ball Cap, Hawaiian shirt and 8 weeks of facial hair shaved into a bushy hair lip.

[TheCommodoreAfro]

I am going as a white guy in Japan.

Totally classic

My current idea is a bunch of us going as the Ghostbusters (I still have 2 proton packs from back in the day!! )....but we're looking for a fourth

(I swear I didn't see TOTF's post before :unsure




...or I'll go as veal

I remember dressing up as a Gohostbuster for Halloween as a kid. I didn't have any official merchandise so I had to make everything.

For my proton pack I wore the family vacuum on my back attached to a camping pack frame. The hose out of the vaccum was attached to the end of my Star Wars Han Solo blaster pistol. I drew all the logos and nametags myself so you know they were top notch.

Today's halloween costumes are way too ready-made for my tastes. Kids hardly have to think at all.

I'm not dressing up for Halloween this year (I'm 30...it's just be wierd).

For a second I thought you knew me. Until you got to the skinhead part...

I did this as my last ever halloween costume in 3rd year of university. I also forgot that I had 2 black profs that term. I got a really funny look from one of them, and the other one stopped class to ask me who I was. Somehow she had never heard of Mr. T

I had the face paint so good though that a guy I had seen everyday at school for the last 2 years asked his friend who the new black kid in class was.

I knew a guy who dressed like payne stewart and wrapped a golf glub around his neck.

I still remember a guy many years ago had a lindberg jersey with tire treads on the back with a steering wheel around the neck.

They are going to hell.

Wasn't that Gerry Forbes?
