So what are you going as this Halloween?

[Guy Humual]

I'm probably dressing as Dracula again this year . . . yes, yes, I know: I suck . . .

What about you guys? Be it party, escorting the kids, or just dressing up to hand out candy, what are you going as this Halloween?

I was going to dress up as a guy who stays at home and eats Reese's peanut butter candies, but unfortunately, I have to pass on the candy this time.

I thought it would be cool to put on a gargoyle mask with some claw hands, grab a wooden staff and a hooded robe and just slowly walk up and down the sidewalk in the dark, waiting for some curious child to shine a light at me :) Perhaps, someday, in a nicer neighborhood.

As the Heathy mask was sold before I got to it, I have no idea. The only costume stores in my area (Dollar Store and Hell Mart) suck, so I'll probably have to cobble something together from stuff I have. I could be a hobo...

[Heathansson]

Dude...that's my usual M.O. I took an old black t-shirt, poked eye holes in it, and got a cheesy axe made from a poster tube and some cardboard with aluminum foil around it for the axe head, and I was the baddest axed executioner there ever was. Totally 75 cents worth of stuff.

I pride myself on never actually buying anything for Hallowe'en.

As to what I'm going as--in the town I live in; armed. And dead sexxy, but I can't help that.

Is it wrong of me that I decided Christina Ricci was divine starting with that movie?

[Pygon]

When I saw Addams Family at the theatre, and I think the guy sitting next me and I were the only ones laughing at the arm-lopping sword fight at the talent show.

Inevitably you get folks showing up out of costume to a Halloween party. People always ask them what they are or make some dumb joke about it. I used to mess with non-costumed folks because I was so into costuming. I had an idea this morning to help make those non-costumers feel a little more welcome (and to perhaps rectify some of my earlier Halloween tauntings to the costume challenged.)

I want to make cards to hand out to plainclothes party-goers that have a funny or clever reason for them not being costumed. An example I believe Fatespinner said was, that he's going to be a werewolf, but the moon's not full, and Matthew Morris' Addam's Family quote. Y'all want to help me brainstorm some clever plainclothes "costume" ideas?

One of the guys at the party last night just had a little card penned to him that said "Just For You" on the outside & then you opened it & it said, "For the women, Love Jesus". I asked him why Hayseus gave him a shirt? :o)

[Valegrim]

hehe, I went as the victim of a vampire; a still living thrall, face a little pasty; eyes a bit dark n bruised; neck bleeding with fang holes, dressed in black dress pants and black shirt. hehe my tag line was "but she seemed like such a nice girl...." Was a great pary; played drums for about 6 hours and danced a bit; didnt get do do any smootchies in a dark hallway, but I guess you cant have everything. Were some really neat people there and everybody was friendly; always nice when you have 60 or 70 people around and there are no butthead problems and pleanty of food and drink.
