Halloween Costume Ideas and Suggestions

[dalesys]

I went as a Lego brick ... I didn't do the drawings with the t-shirt on, so two of them were right over my chest.

Isn't that where you snap together?

I'm attempting a Silent Hill nurse's costume this year. Going to town today to see what I can find to pull it off.

If one of my nephews can remember, we're going to be Jay and Silent Bob.

I'm shorter, so guess which one I'll be?

(Although...if I work that day, no one would get it. *sigh*)

I've always been able to find fun, obscure, and cheap costumes for Halloween. Here are all my costumes over the last 3 years:

2008:
2009:
2010:

[BlaqueKatt]

my costume is a secret-only one that knows what it is or will be is plaidman-and he better not tell

I got permission from the actor that made the character famous to be the character as long as he gets pictures.....though I will post pics in the inevitable halloween thread....

One year I wore a graduation cap and gown...but I couldn't wear the hat most of the day because it was getting in my way (and it wouldn't stay on) so I put it on top of my register. For a while I carried around a road atlas..I was a Roads Scholar

Last time I dressed up for work I wore blue jeans with just a black t-shirt and a nametag that said "Hello my name is... Forever"

Older folks laughed. I had to explain that one to the younger crowd.

Ex (who was not ex at the time) was a cowboy and for a while I wore his hat...because I looked cute in it.

For the longest time I wanted to go as a TIE-Fighter pilot from Star Wars, but I never had the funds to afford an outfit. A few years back I went to a party as a nerd (yeah, I've heard the jokes already), while my then 29-yr-old girlfriend was still able to fit into her prom dress. So we went as beauty and the geek.

Maybe this year I'll put on some flesh-colored outfit and go as Adam (from Adam and Eve), but only with a huge, HUGE leaf that hangs to the floor...

Now I'm intrigued.

More ideas from CS.com threads.

-The cat's pajamas (PJ's, Cat Ears, Tail)
-Cat Burglar (all in black, add some stuffed kitties somewhere)

And an idea from AngeiicDemise: the cover of a book.

She was going to do Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

My ideas?

Do a zombie version of a character of your choice. Double points if you do a book cover OR a kid's classic.

I'm throwing around ideas with my boyfriend for a Halloween party-I'm going as either a Geisha girl or something out of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. He's still deciding: I suggested he go as an undead version of the Linux Penguin

I have been debating for some years as going as a Marx brother, either Harpo or Groucho, as all I'd need for those would be a nice beat up duster, some hobo clothes, and either a bike horn or a greasepaint stick... maybe a wig... one allows me to be entirely silent, just overacting all day, and the other lets me go insane with my rambly style of talking. However, I get the feeling SM will NOT allow costumes at the store... although, Sunday... so, he might not be there anyway...

Due to a very small budget, I am cheating and wearing my Belegarth garb for Halloween. I may spruce it up and make it creepy with some make-up, but we shall see.

Two years ago, I went as a pimp. Last year, I went as a Mexican bandito. I would REALLY like to go as a ninja, but most ninja costumes have a bunch of knee pads and random crap on them that I really don't like that much. Not sure what I'm going to do this year.

One costume I've been thinking of doing...I want to make a Southern Belle dress in blood red and black, add a tail, devil horns on a hat, and a pitchfork-tipped parasol and go as Hell's Belle.

Last year, my bf took his son out trick-or-treating and went as an Internet Stalker. He dressed up all in black (think a cat-burglar) he wore a headset plugged into a laptop and slunk around everywhere. People loved it.

This year me and my lady have some options (cus she rocks!) she may be either fem-Kruger or fem-Jason (and thus id have to do the other costume ie Jason if shes Kruger but not fem..) or i can wear my chain suit and plate to work... I can just imagine walking into my work in full plate with chainmail under.
