What are you going to be for Halloween? [Archive]

I'll just be greeting trick-or-treaters at the door, but I plan to do so while in costume. And of course, that costume will be Torgo, the shuddery and lump-kneed caretaker from the legendarily awful movie "Manos" The Hands of Fate". It's the same costume I've worn for the previous two years - here's a photo from last year (that's my sister on the right, by the way): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v477/JB86/Halloween_2006.jpg

Of course, everyone knows that it's not enough to just dress as Torgo, so I also do the walk, the spastic movements, the voice ("The MASter wAnted you to HAVe this cANDy...hE wanted YOu to hAVe it but I'M gIVing it to yOU..."), and I even have the Haunting Torgo Theme playing endlessly in the background whenever I open the door. And the best part is, to date, not a single person who's come to the door has known who I'm supposed to be.

I am going to be....
a girl who is handing out candy. =OOO
Because I haven't gone out for Halloween in years, and only seniors can dress up in my high school. (& being as I'm only a junior... =/ )

Lazerboy5000

10-10-2007, 07:29 AM

My mom always makes me hand out the candy now. :sweat:

But I'lll probably do the same thing as last year.... wait until a bunch a teenages (my age) are still doing some last second trick or treating, then offor to come along with them; grab a football, and go as a Football Player.

Master Toon

10-10-2007, 09:18 AM

I'm 19 so my trick or treating days are over but I did want to go out just one last time. My mom and sister keep saying someone is going to call the police on me, but I don't care. If that plan doesn't happen, I'll just go to some party or some event.

I might be going as a naughty schoolgirl to a halloween party my friends are throwing on the 27th. >.>

Elven Moon

10-10-2007, 01:25 PM

I won't be anything. I will be home alone on Halloween, and really don't feel like passing out candy when I'm the only one in the house. So, I'll be keeping the porch light off, eating candy and watching movies ;)

I'm dressed as Ulquiorra from Bleach, but I'm intending to go as a random espada.

Ishtar

10-10-2007, 02:50 PM

Most likely myself, because I'm not going out and I'm not going to any Halloween parties, as far as I know. People dress up in my school on Halloween though. Maybe, I'll find my old Scream robe and wear it. Who knows?

RSNaco

10-10-2007, 03:00 PM

I'll probably end up being some kind of samurai/ninja combo, whatever I can cobble together while including my wooden sword I bought this summer. I'll think of some creative excuse to use it all.

purplehairedwonder

10-10-2007, 03:12 PM

I haven't dressed up since I was 12, so this year I'll most likely be chillin' in my dorm room unless something comes up. There's some stuff going on at the school the weekend before so I may check that out but as for Halloween itself, I'll probably watch the live Ghost Hunters episode.

I'm currently thinking of dressing up in school since there's a Halloween Costume Contest. I just don't know what yet.... /:

Either that, or I'll just hang out with friends and hand out candy when I get home.

JAG

10-11-2007, 12:51 AM

I'll most likely wear the same (admittedly cool) werewolf mask I've worn the past two years. I don't go trick-or-treating anymore, I just pass out candy. Which is fine, as I always like seeing the kids' costumes, and anyway, I can't see out of the stupid mask well enough to walk without tripping over something.

Antiyonder

10-11-2007, 03:42 AM

I've jokingly considered dressing as The Angry Video Game Nerd, but sometime after I lose some weight, I've considered dressing up as Clark Kent. After all, I believe dressing up as Superman is a "been there worn that". Basically I'd wear a sweater with a Superman shirt underneath, for the effect. As I naturally wear glasses.

While we're discussing Halloween, in addition to the candy, I'm going to hand out some comic related items (poster/card).

ThePeterNetwork

10-11-2007, 08:21 PM

One time, last year, I knew this guy at work who painted his whole face to look like a skull-face. I was the only person who appreciated it. Typically, nobody at my job celebrates Halloween as far as I know. I may just wear my "The Hills Have Eyes 2" shirt that I scored from last year's NYCC and paint a scar on my face. I intend to do this also for MoCCA's 6th Anniversary Halloween Bash on the 27th.

EDIT: I can tell you what I'm NOT going to do (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVSnL1jMx2s) for Halloween this year, and not because I've already done it.

I am not really dressing up like anything but if I need a costume I have a alien one in my closet.

I will be a ninja at a halloween party, but I don't plan to dress up for anything else.

Lazerboy5000

10-13-2007, 02:21 PM

You should dress up as Sasuke for Halloween. xD

I have no idea why. But you should. xD
It isn't a bad idea actually, but I just wouldn't be sure where I could find a costume that fit.

But I could probably find some blue hair spray. :p

Mittenz

10-13-2007, 04:37 PM

I'm likely to go out as a polar bear. I just got a polar bear mask today. I'm gonna try the costume out the weekend before Halloween when I go to Salem, MA to see what other people think.

Michael24

10-14-2007, 02:30 PM

I was at Spirit yesterday looking around. I picked up a good-looking Freddy glove, mostly just to have one, and thought about getting the rest of the costume for Halloween. But the sweater (which actually looked pretty well-made) was just over $40, the mask (which didn't look that great) was about $35, and the hat was a flimsy semi-plastic piece for $30. Would have cost almost $100 altogether.

I already have an almost-complete Indiana Jones costume (minus the whip), so I think I'll just do that instead since I've been on such an Indy lately with the new film coming out. :D

I'm probably going to be a crow. (As in the bird, not a character from the comic I never got around to reading)
I really need a beak, though. Unfortunately, the best I can find are toucan beaks.

silverfox1027

10-18-2007, 11:49 PM

Hmm...I probably won't dress up at all. My parents never let us go trick-or-treating or whatever, so Halloween costumes have become a very "meh" subject for me. Definitely going to the parade in The Village, though.

mookie75

10-19-2007, 11:01 PM

Dressing up doesn't really fit into my Halloween anymore.

I usually use the holiday as an excuse to expand my collection of horror movies (of which I have very few). I buy a new one (or two) every October and then watch them on Halloween night. This year I bought the director's cut of The Exorcist. The last tim I saw that movie was when it was re-released in the theaters several years back. :evil:

Desensitized

10-19-2007, 11:23 PM

I don't actually dress up, but I wear a white shirt and jeans and if anyone asks if I'm wearing a costume I just say I'm Alex from River City Ransom. It covers all my bases. ;)

I still can't believe she wasn't in the original version. That character added so much to the game, imo. Lisa and those dang Crimson Heads that come running at you provided most of the scream outloud moments for me. :p

I'm going to dress up as THE FOURTH HOKAGE!!!!!!!:cool: JK. I dunno what I'm going to do, usually there are two parties before Halloween I go to on the 28th and the 30th, then I just go to a friends house, or they come to mine and we scare kids lol.

Jesus. There's a halloween party at my school and one girl suggested that dressing as Jesus is a good way to get laid. So, I went to the costume shop today and bought a Jesus costume for $50. At that price it has damn well better get me laid. Though, you know, I really don't know too much about Jesus. How do I play the part? What pickup lines would Jesus use?
I know a guy who's going to the MoCCA 6th Anniversary Costume Party as a chain-smoking Jesus. Totally his own original idea. Me, I'm just going to go with the scar. Also picked up some spiffy shades to go with the outfit.

Dude,that is the funniest thing I've heard all day.Do you think It'll work?

Anyway,I wanted to go as Master Chief.But I can't find anything at all.So wondering whether I should go as Jak from Jak & Daxter(if I do that I must dye my hair) or Light from Death Note.

10-22-2007, 11:43 PM

Dude,that is the funniest thing I've heard all day.Do you think It'll work?

Not if I don't learn how to play the part it won't. I mean, didn't Jesus speak latin? I don't know latin. What if I speak old English? Is that Jesus-esque?

I did come up with one pickup line though. "How about I be Jesus, you be a cross, and you nail me all night." What do you think?

You know, I have some shower sandals that look like the type of sandals Jesus would wear(the costume doesn't come with shoes). I don't know, though. Something feels odd about wearing shower sandals to a party. I kind of have to drag my feet when I'm wearing them so they'll make a sound whenever I walk. Not to mention it'll probably be kind of cold out in two weeks. If I go to the bar afterwards, will they let me in with shower sandals? But, I guess there's no real alternative. If you go as Jesus you need to wear some type of sandals. If I wear sandals, should I shave the top of my feet?

I'm going to be wonder woman!

You know what's weird. All the Wonder Woman costumes I've seen being sold in stores have a dress instead of the bathing suit thing she has going on in the shows and comics. What's the deal with that? I want to see women wearing the bathing suit thing, damn it!

Are you seriously planning to use that, though? I imagine it'd work if you and the girl are both somewhat drunk. But otherwise it seems a bit too bold.

I'd say watch "Passion of the Christ" enough and learn a few lines In whatever language they're speaking.I don't think a chick will care If she thinks your saying, "Let's go have a party of our own." in Latin when your really saying,"Forgive them,Father."

And the pickup line was freakin' hilarious.And actually pretty good.

Heh heh, one of the last times I dressed up for Halloween (at work no less) was in 1998 when I went as Jesus. I had long hair and goatee at the time, so it just fit.

Well, I called up a friend from college and asked her what she thought of the line, and she said it was the lamest thing she's ever heard. So, no, I don't think I'll be using that line. I'm still concerned about where I put my wallet and keys if there's no pockets on the costume...

I don't really have much of a budget for costumes, but the idea of going as Dwight Schrute is intriguing to me. I have the glasses already, the hair would be a cinch, and the actual outfit could easily be pieced together...though I'm not sure how many people would get the joke.

Hmm...I need to raid the Salvation Army.

I'm mostly using clothes I already have. A yellow short sleeve collared shirt, khakis, some dress shoes, and a tie. The only things I've had to buy was the glasses and some hairspray. Besides that I just used my computer to make a fake ID, just to put the icing on the cake. Previous years I've gone to school as the Scarecrow, The Joker, V and so forth. This is probably by far the easiest costume I've ever put together.

Okay, for my anime club's Halloween party, I was just going to wear a tie because 1) I don't know the Halloween costume policy at my internship (TV stations WJCL and WTGS) and 2) I don't wear ties that much, if at all. I was planning on giong as a yuppie, but since I found a hockey stick in my house, I ll just put on my Thrashers jersey and go as a hockey player. Who wears a tie. And no mask/helmet.

We just finished doing our Halloween event where I work this past weekend and the week before and each night I was a cowgirl, some of the kids liked it, they wanted me to say howdy so that was fun.

What was really cool though was this one guy was entertaining the line dressed as Jack Sparrow on stilts I still have no idea how he walked around in those things it was amazing.

I'm definitely doing that next year.

Hmm... I guess it depends on how long your hair is. If it's like to the skull short, go with Rude. If it's longer than that, go with Gumshoe.

...unless you have a goatee. o_o

I involuntarily have Gumshoe's hair style and three whiskers, so I guess it's decided then. I just need a tacky green trenchcoat.

*Still would rather go as Rude* (Wearing a Secret Service Suit and sunglasses looks fun. =D ...Except I don't have ear piercings, and I'm not sure I'd be able to find that much fake ear jewelry. D:

So this is what happened last night:

After swim practice, I went over to my friend's house, picked him up, and we went trick-or-treating by my place.

He went as a Lawyer/Baseball Player/Football Player High School Student. (He had a sweatshirt with a lawyer logo on it, a Milwaukee Brewers Cap, and my Green Bay Packers football)

I was a Poker Player. (I had my "Feelin' Lucky?" shirt on, a pair of Sunglasses, and a stack of poker chips)

Well, we played more catch than trick-or-treating. At everyone lamp post we got to we stopped to play some catch. We got some candy in between.
1st lamp post: Warm up, we just threw the ball around.
2nd lamp post: We practiced street routes. After about 100 times, we finally got it.
3rd lamp post: I was aiming for a stop sign, and my friend would try to jump the rote a get an interception. This was the most fun. My aim was nearly perfect from 20yds away. Plus, there was some grass in the direction my friend was running, so sometimes he would try to make a dive catch. It took awhile to get it, but I had to stop throwing the ball away from my friend, and throw it more like a crossing route.

Well, we got a decent amount of candy, and we played some Madden06 afterwards.

My friend asked me what I thought the final score would be. I said that he would win 34-10.
I managed to jump out to a 10-0 lead after the first quarter, but then my friend found his grove. Final score...

34-10

I can’t believe I predicted the score correctly.

Scary

And that was my Halloween night.
