Since Holloween is just around the corner, what is everyone going as?

Im in the process of making a costume. Im (hopefully) going as Mad Max
Just need to find leather pants and boots, I have the upper half finished.

Costume ideas/ discussion etc go!

I was thinking of going as an employee at the store that I work.

But that's because I work all day during Holloween. :(

I am not doing anything for halloween this year.


I live in nepal, if I showed up at someone's door asking for stuff in a costume...

I can show some pics of my praise costumes though, I have done gag costumes for years.

I am not going somewhere and I will be going nowhere dressed as myself

Some would say that is scary enough.

We don't celebrate Halloween....

Cool! I'm moving to Belgium

You are always welcome.

Just to think, all those yummy Belgian chocolates and you don't have to share them with pesky trick-or-treaters!!

Chibi just exposed us..... Must hide the choclates!

*runs to the choclate shop*

I am going to go as a serial killer. They look like everyone else but are allowed to kill people if they want to.

I have heard much of these executives that pull the rug from underneath popular TV shows

Interesting and topical choice Silver!

Grumblegrumble FireFlyandStargateUniverse grumblegrumble...

Im probably not going to dress up, but the giant and his fam is coming over and we are all going out together once again.

I think im going to try and find a Solid Snake costume because, according to my friends, I look like a teenage version of him...

I going to wear a big black cloak and just walk around stalking people.

Alas, that's the extent of Halloween here...

A traceur what else would i go as?

Mistress and Slave.

The cool thing about me is that I have to clarify which.

Oh Cannerus, why do I think that this isn't as much for Halloween, as it is just another tuesday?

Or MAYBE a ninja outfit would be awesome as well.

Five years ago some kids began a "tricking" campaign against my house...why? I'll never know...it seems they just picked my house at random and decided they feth up my Halloween night every year...The first year they did eggs...the second, they did toilet paper...the fourth they did stuff to my car...

Last year I'd had enough...these kids were mostly teenagers now but still very young teenagers...last year they must have run out of things to do to my house so they played ding dong ditch...

I let them get away with it a couple times but the third time I came to the door and saw nobody there I went back in and prepared myself for war...

And then about ten minutes later, they did it again, only this time I was ready...you see, a few weeks before I an my friend Dave had gotten together to figure out a way to get these kids back for all the Halloween grief they'd caused me...so we got a plan together which I admit was mostly Dave's but it took both of us to carry it out...

The doorbell rang and I immediately kicked the front door open clad in a zombie costume and wearing a hockey mask that me and dave had decorated with a sprinkling fake blood. I held in my hands a chainsaw...not a small one or a toy one or a fake one, a real honest to god tree chopin, limb cuttin, head slicin chainsaw that Dave had also soaked in fake blood. I held it up and ignited it, sending the chain roaring with that distinctive chainsaw ripping noise and held it up as if i was going to slice something with an overhead chop. I made my best imitation of a slasher monster roar and generally tried to be as scary as I could.

Two things happened...

One, the kid who rang the bell and stood in front of me...his eyes got wide and I'm pretty sure he gakked a load of bricks in his pirate costume...He was pretty much frozen and his jaw dropped as soon as the door opened...

Two...the kids with him behind the bushes in front of my house stopped giggling and stared wide eyed at me for a moment until one of them shouted "Oh gak!" and they all went running down the street...the one kid who rang the doorbell followed his buddies, screaming bloody murder the entire time...

But my friends that was only part one of the prank...you see I live in a neighborhood with only one way in or out...so...before darkness fell my buddy Dave hid in some brush near the subdivision's entrance...Long story short, the kids came running back down to where the cul de sac met the main road and it was a pretty long run, so they stopped to catch their breaths all gibbering and laughing nervously about how close that was and wondering what the hell that was that they had nearly been chopped in two by...

It couldn't have been more perfect, the next thing they heard was Dave's own chainsaw revving up and him, identically dressed as me, came crashing out of the brush as if he was about to chop one of their heads off...

I didn't see it myself but Dave said he didn't think the kids would stop running until they hit Mexico...witch is probably only a slight exaggeration...

I dont' think they'll be coming back to my neighborhood any time soon...

BTW This story was totally true...I almost got in big trouble for using a real chainsaw but in the end nobody got hurt so

That is a win!

Halloween is a pretty big event around my house (big surprise right..?), with a marathon of horror films and costumes and what not...

Last year the Missus and I both dresses as zombies and passed out candy to all the neighborhood kids, while our own children, dressed as a Vampire Bride and a Ninja ventured out to recoup our losses.

This year, my Daughter has stated she want's to be a " Prom Queen Zombie"..." With all the blood and bite marks everyplace"...

My Son, who dislikes "Scary Stuff" ( didn't get that from me) and celebrates Halloween only for the "free candy"...will once again be going as...Another Ninja...

As to the Missus and myself...still up in the air, it's a toss up between Captain Spaulding and Baby Firefly...or "Zombie Ward and June Cleaver"

Oh come on, you have to go as Captain Spalding, this needs to be a poll as well. Anyways, I like to go as silly costumes last year I went as a lawn gnome and harassed the grade 8's with my friend dressed up

as psychotic butcher.

Nothing, i'm just going to sit at my computer and be blackmailed for sweets by kids dressed in 99p devil costumes.

I was thinking of getting this:



As I'm a huge Sailor Moon fangirl. But then I realized I'd just be wearing it at my desk while waiting for the handful of kids in the neighborhood to come for candy, and decided to just save $60 and not bother dressing up. I may yet just drag my old Shadow Utena cosplay out and wear that to hand out candy if it still fits :/ (Last wore it 7yrs ago?)

Well if you ain't dressing up in the Sailor Moon cozzie (spoilsport!) then I vote Fitzz does.

I might be wrong, but didn't Sailor Moon have blonde hair?

Yeah, I shouldn't know these things...

I'll be wearing a suit and telling people that I'm John Oliver.

Yeah, it also went down to her ankles after being tied into two ponytails. My hair is also no where near blonde though (Semi-purple atm)
