Title: Halloween costume ideas
Post by: Martinus on October 21, 2003, 02:15:45 pm: [color=66ff00]Just interested, anyone getting all dressed up this halloween? If so what kinda costume are you going to wear? If not, what kinda costume would you like to wear?

Personally I've done the jedi thing two years running so I'm cooking up a few ideas now, hopefully I'll have some free time to make a costume. :)

Post by: Descenterace on October 21, 2003, 02:41:27 pm: I have to relate this story:

About two years ago, my Secondary School ran a Prom for the leavers (of which I was one). Being an antisocial person, I didn't bother going, but one of my friends was thinking of going as the Grim Reaper. It wasn't fancy dress or anything, so can you guess what his reason was?

He didn't want to pay the £10 for a ticket. He wanted to walk up to the bouncer and say: 'Excuse me, I'm here on business.'

Definitely would've put a damper on the evening. In the end, he dropped the idea because a good outfit would've cost £50...

It's dirt cheap, and people will give you all the candy you want just to get you to leave!

Post by: mikhael on October 21, 2003, 03:36:22 pm: I'll be dressed as a gray gargoyle in a gorgeous handmade black satin cape with rouched scarlet satin lining. My wife will be a witch in a similar cape. I've got this excellent full face latex mask and the right makeup to make the whole thing look right.

we're not going out, mind you. Just answering the door for the children.

I have to get dressed up, but not on Halloween. On the 25th my store is having a Halloween celebration for the children of the neighborhood, and sinch I'm such a good talker/people person, I get to be a door greeter. :doubt:

Same here...it's supposedly illegal to wear a costume when you're over 13 because you could be doing something malicious...stupid Tennessee laws...anyway, nobody cares. I'm sure if you did something stupid, they'd hit you with it, but not unless.

I was going to go as a stormtrooper this year, then use that same costume to watch the new LOTR movie in, but my parents think I'll go and do something stupid...they're right of course.:nervous:

Oh, the merriment.
