Halloween Costumes

[Rissan4ever]

Halloween is coming in just over a month! Let's talk about costume ideas!

Some of my previous costumes:

Death on Vacation - I painted my face like a skull and wore a Hawaiian shirt.

Fairy Daddy - Green sparkly fairy wings, glitter nail polish, dark suit, green tie. This was the year my whole family dressed as fairies. My favorite part was the nail polish. :)

Space Freighter Captain - Boots, ray-gun, goggles, and a Blue Sun t-shirt.

I need something for this year. Any ideas?

Also, what are you going to be this Halloween?

[Kaptain Badrukk]

I was Wario last year. Haven't thought about this year.
I always end up not doing enough (except last year, nailed it last year).
But then we Brits don't do Halloween in a big way.
Aussies, I'll be there, should I be readying a costume?

[Wolfshade]

Teaching people that it is All Hallows' Eve, or Hallowe'en if you prefer.

For some reason, maybe not like being extorted on my door step, I am opposed to this.

Halloween (or Hallowe'en, All Hallow's Eve, Goth Christmas, whatever you want to call it) is with you, no matter where you are. It's in your soul. Spread the spirit, where ever you go!

[SotonShades]

I believe my gaming group are doing 'Crap Superheroes' as a theme this year. So far I have heard that people will be going as 'Bureaucracy Boy' (armed with rolls of red tape, naturally), The Bimbo (which isn't too much of a stretch for her, if I'm honest) and there was talk of a Captain England, but the idea was scrapped because it might look a little too much like he was part of the EDL...

Me, I'm going as the Human Match. Kinda like the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four, but can only light on fire once...
I shall be wearing my black Morph suit, red pants on the outside, a utility belt made of empty match boxes and a black wizards cape with flames sewn into it I still have from when I was little.

Don't forget to die your hair bright red so you look like a match!

[Phototoxin]

So long as I can avoid wiccans mispronoucing Samhain or Óiche Shamhna (sam-hane WTF?, ookie sham-hin-na RAEG!) I will be happy. Not being an Irish Pagan or much of a Christian I'm not too bothered by it these days.

[Psychosplodge]

Think I'm just taking the SO somewhere nice. It is our anniversary after all :D. And considering how often chavs say "it's not hallowe'en" to me, I don't apparently need to dress up...

[eldargal]

We're having a costume ball here so I'm going as Power Girl:

Mother is going as Hawkgirl:

Father is going as Green Lantern:

And my brothers are all going as Clone Troopers:
http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110805173321/theclonewiki/images/1/18/Clone_Troopers_kamino.jpg
Which is apt 'cos they are all basically clones.

[Psychosplodge]

You're letting your brothers down, you should go as a jedi, or Vader.

[eldargal]

Meh, done that before, have a nice Sith outfit based on my SWTOR character.

[Deadlift]

Halloween is always a pain in the arse to be frank, I struggle every year to find a costume that will fit and usually don't. I can't be arsed with making one as I don't have the time or inclination. Last year I found an idea of the internet. Basically it involved a white t-shirt and a marker pen. I wrote on the t-shirt.

Error :404 costume not found.

Job done. But I got ear ache from everyone for not trying. I tried the sheet, ghost thing and ended up looking like the Stay puff marshmallow man. So this year I'm stuck. I did find a pretty cool Hellboy costume that's in xxxl but it's £50. So if you guys have any ideas fire away :o

[Wolfshade]

Body paint and purple shorts.

You won't like DL when he is angry...

[Psychosplodge]

Nah a red curtain and a pointy stick, and 299 mates...

Though you could go as error 403: forbidden costume as a prequel...

I think the "Costume Not Found" one is pretty funny.

Low-Budget ideas:
Wear shorts under a buttoned overcoat and go as a Flasher.
Splash some red ink on an old, white shirt and go as a Homicidal Maniac.

[Psychosplodge]

coveralls, hockey mask, red and chainsaw...

[SotonShades]

Morph suit covers the head completely,so I'll look like a burnt match ;)

Seconded. We lock up rouge traders for doing this, yet when it is children dressed in silly costumes it is for some reason perfectly acceptable. I always consider getting into the spirit and building a large Wickerman on the drive to warn fools what happens when they enter my land of their own free will, but it's probably quite a lot of effort and the uneducated heathens banging on the door wouldn't get the reference anyway.

Put an empty bowl out in front of your house with a sign that says "Please take one." That way, the kids will think they just didn't get there in time, and you can watch them trudging away in disappointment all night long.

[Wildeybeast]

That sounds suitably easy, cruel and fun. Thanks. :D

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

The Grapist.

[Wolfshade]

Dress up as Jimmy Savile, too soon?

[Rissan4ever]

Um... yeah. Waaaay too soon. Maybe Ted Bundy or Charles Manson?

[Deadlift]

Sorted, I'm going as Shrek. :D

[Rissan4ever]

The Grapist.
Just don't tie anyone to radiators. Or mention mouths.

[gwensdad]

If I can find a good, cheap band uniform of the right type-I'm putting together a Commissar outfit.

Note that this will not at all fit with da Gwen's "Evil Witch" or Gwen!mom's Malificient outfits. (maybe I can figure out a Commissar Prince...or Hades)

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I've decided that going as Trevor from GTA V is a good idea.

If you give him the mullet haircut, he looks kinda like someone our lass knows. I've not been forgiven for pointing this out, because now she can't unsee it :D

[Wildeybeast]

Seems like this (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24278768) belongs here.

[Rissan4ever]

I understand the offense, but there are lots of groups who could be offended by Halloween costumes. Stewardesses, clowns, convicts... Why aren't they pulling those costumes off the shelves? What's the difference?

I guess the difference is that the other groups I listed are professions. They are what they are by choice. The mentally ill are just that: ill. They don't have a choice in the matter, so it's unfair to make fun of them.

But if we're going to pull costumes, then should we also pull all movies and books that negatively depict the mentally ill, too? Should we stop watching Psycho, The Shining, or Silence of the Lambs? These are great movies. How far does it go? Is there a limit to when we're allowed to stop being afraid of offending someone? If so, where is that limit?

[Deadlift]

Well, all the ones I liked were too small, tried Shrek and didn't fit. :( so now I'm having to go an alternative green route now. Not the obvious one as Wolfie pointed out. I bought an "official" Kermit the frog fancy dress. I'm going to look epic and won't offend anyone. Well maybe someone by the end of the party :D

It was the labelling that was the issue. None actually cared about the costumes. If they had been labelled zombie or horror butcher or something like that then no one would have batted an eyelid. It's the stereotyping, the assumption that all mentally ill people behave/look like that which was objected to, the implicit assumption that all mentally ill people are violent and scary.. No one really objects to the films you mentioned because they are specific examples of crazy, and off the wall at that. There is no assumption, either implicit or explicit, that Lecter in anyway represents all mentally ill people. Giving the costume such a generic label clearly does so.

[Nabterayl]

I think also that those costumes play into old stereotypes, in which psych wards are simply prisons by another name, for criminals who were too clever or too dangerous to go to normal prison. Think of Arkham Asylum.* As the son of a medical professional who's spent quite a lot of time specializing in psych wards, I feel like I can say that's not true, and I can understand the mental health community feeling like it's a stereotype that needs to go, because it's damaging to real people.

* Granted, the Batman villains in Arkham really are either too clever or too dangerous to go normal prison, but Arkham itself exists as a reflection of what was, when Arkham itself was first conceived, a fairly prominent stereotype.

[Wildeybeast]

One good thing to come out of it is people took to twitter to challenge those old stereotypes and show the 'costumes' modern mental patients wear. Internets for the win.

And now torn between Pinhead (again) and my LARP kit (warmer....)

I look pretty damned good in either.....

Which is more suitable in case of a quick knee trembler?

[Mr Mystery]

Which is more suitable in case of a quick knee trembler?

Both equal there.

Though it does seem the ladies are more interested in the leathery leather armour.....mmmmmm...leather they all say.

[Psychosplodge]

There you go then...

[Mr Mystery]

I guess. Just depends whether the late night drinking spot will let me wear my sword in. It's latex....

Yep. Leather, Latex....just need a Lady and the triumvate is complete :p

I bought this in the end :o. I tried a few others but just couldn't squeeze into them.

Wife says it will do but it makes Kermit look like he's been doing roids.

[Mr Mystery]

I suppose it's one way to fend off Miss Piggy! (categorically not a reference to Deadlift's wife, who I'm sure is lovely of face, and personality, without having a lovely personality disorder)....

Beefcake Frog for Halloween? Post pics.;)

Hey, Miss Piggy is awesome, takes no crap for anyone and gives zero ****s about what people think of her.;)

[Mr Mystery]

She's also a lardy arsed, self centred nightmare....and frankly, given her relentless pursuit of Mr The Frog, quite possibly a bit rapey!

[eldargal]

She does have some legitimate issues I grant you. But she isn't overweight, she's a pig. Literally. Genus Sus of the Suinea.:p Plus frogs are totes used to women throwing themselves at them or stuffing them down their decolletage.

Well you're froggy might well be. Not sure about everyone else's froggy.

[Deadlift]

If my costume has that effect, I may never take it off ;).

[Mr Mystery]

Mmmm. Sweaty

Kind of hoping mine has the same affect. Could do with a bit of a wriggle!

[Rissan4ever]

I'm going as the Phantom of the Opera this year. I have a nice black suit, and I found a white mask and black cape on the cheap. I can't sing worth a damn, but one can't have everything.

[eldargal]

Whistle enthusiastically instead. Or hum.

[Kirsten]

I found a very large frog this afternoon whilst gardening and my grandmother's house. right beside the front door as I was picking up handfuls of dead leaves. hmm, this pile of leaves feel rather unusual, thinks I to myself... a-ha! my grandmother was worried it might try to go in the house :p

[eldargal]

Did you kiss it?:p You can wash them first, they don't mind.

[Kirsten]

no in fact I did not...

So we having a Halloween Picture Parade this year?

[Deadlift]

Could do, my little boy is dressing up as Buzz Lightyear and my daughters going as Draculaura (monster hi) so I may grab a pic with them and post it :D

[Mr Mystery]

Huzzah!

[Rissan4ever]

I'll post a pic of myself in my Phantom costume.

[Mr Mystery]

Mmmm! spandex!

[Wildeybeast]

I may post a picture of myself drunkenly shaking my fist at trick or treaters in a suitably curmudgeonly way.

[Wolfshade]

Or holding a masstiff by the collar as she tries to say hello to the peoples.

[Mr Mystery]

Mastiffs are nice Doggies! All big and slobbery!

[Wildeybeast]

We have golden retrievers, one of which is 6 month old puppy, so I suspect that would have the opposite effect to the one I'm aiming for. I'm also pretty sure me drunkenly chasing them off my property will suitably traumatising for them.

[Mr Mystery]

Dunno man. Golden Retrievers are quite capable of slobbering someone to death...

I'll probably stay in and watch Carpenters The Thing and the Doctor who story "The image of the Fendahl", I kinda wanted to watch something heavily lovecraftian but theres very little out there so those two will have to do I suppose. I made a witches hat for Helga (my Tarantula), and have already sneaked it on her head a few times - she didnt even notice, so I got to watch her walk about her tank with it on XD

Right. I am now working at a pub and they have asked we wear halloween costumes for all our shifts this week. I might just wear a different one for every shift (only three, plus a pub crawl on sat night), which will be fun.

And I second Rissan.

[Wolfshade]

What constitues a hallowe'en costume?

[eldargal]

I recommend dressing as Power Girl.

I've now finished my Power Girl outfit, my motehrs Hawk girl outfit, fathers Green Lantern outfit and one of my cousins Supergirl costumes which is my costume quota finished for this Halloween.

[Rissan4ever]

Dress as you normally wouldn't.

My LARP kit.

I think Mystery should go as a burberry ape in that case.

That would be amusing.

[SotonShades]

Have to rummage through the fancy dress stuff in the attic, but probably a mad scientist, maybe Neo for sunday lunch (little more subdued...) and something else, possibly Indiana Jones. For the halloween pub crawl (I may have mentioned it before in this thread, but I forget) there is a theme of silly superheroes, so we have to create a character with crap super powers. I'll be going as The Human Match; all the same powers as the Human Torch, but only once and for a short period of time.

I sat on the porch and gave out candy and only had about 10 kids show up. It was REALLY raining here.
I dressed up in my Captain Hammer t-shirt. If anyone had asked I would have gladly sang.
(I will not, however, show THE HAMMER to anyone. Well without dinner first)

Best Halloween costume ball ever. 6pm to 4am. Power Girl costume was a hit, not so good for deflecting spillage.

[Rissan4ever]

6pm to 4am? Ah, the life of the young and childless.

[eldargal]

Well I have a whole boatload of little cousins here at the moment, does that count?:p

[Rissan4ever]

Nope. When they're cousins and/or other people's kids, they just count as pets.

[eldargal]

Well they do let me dress them like pets. My cousin-clone dressed up as Supergirl to go with my Power Girl and she dressed her little brother as Ultra Humanite which was *so* adorable.

[Rissan4ever]

Sounds cool. Hey, didn't we say there were gonna be pictures on this thread? I'd like to see the Power Girl costume.

[eldargal]

I bet you would.:p Hur.

I bet you would.:p Hur.

Well, you talked about how awesome it was going to be, so I wanted to see your work. But, Ok, I'll stop stalking you. :p

[Rissan4ever]

Anyway, next year, I'm going to be the Mad Hatter. Not the freakish-mutant Johnny Depp version, but the fun Disney one.

[Mr Mystery]

Next year, if I can save up £2,000, I shall be Dredd.

Or at least a street Judge!

[Rissan4ever]

Good luck! Start saving up today.

Highlights from Halloween party:
One of my brothers picking up a female Jedi with 'You've heard about Order 66, let me show you Order 69' and acting really, really surprised when it worked.
One of my friends and her girlfriend doing a joint costume entitled 'Mystique/FemShep Crossover Slash fiction'
Daenerys Tagargleden and Sansa Stark performing dueling banjos on real banjos.
Boromir telling his girlfriend 'One does not simply...waltz onto dancefloor' right before dancing with her.
One of my little cousins telling someone dressed as some action hero or other that 'her cousin' could beat him up, and the action hero concurring when it was pointed out who I was.:cool:

[Mr Mystery]

On the Daenerys thing...sadly, my mate Thom, voted most person in Tunbridge Wells to be mistaken for Khal Drogo got married at the weekend!

Well. Not sad for him nor his missus, but sad for the fan girls!

[eldargal]

Is the missus a fangirl? 'cos that would be adawble.:)

[Mr Mystery]

She's certainly a fangirl for him, seeing as she married him!

But I daresay if she ever see's Game of Thrones, she will be a fangirl!
