Halloween Costumes

Hey OTC, just curious what everyone has been doing costume wise for Halloween.

Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead on AMC◊

Kind of had to rush that together at the last minute, didn't originally plan to do anything for halloween.

I can't decide if that's what I expected you to look like or not.

I'm currently working on finishing a Slender Man costume, for the express purpose of fucking with my n00blet friend.

I am now known as Flyboy.

I am being Kanaya Maryam from Homestuck, evil comic that it is....A picture of the costume minus the makeup.◊ There was much making of things involved and it was my first stab at costuming. And a few other things. LIKE SCULPTURE. It needs a lot of work and it's easier to see that up close than it is in photo. It is at the least half way decent though. AND I MADE IT WHICH GIVES ME POINTS THAT OTHERS DON'T GET. Lazy bastards buying everything premade...

I will use this knowledge I got to bettering my second stab at costuming with my Rose Lalonde costume that I am planning. Rose being from the same damn comic.

The horns look like candy corn. Bonus points!

FUCK YEAH BONUS POINTS.

I'm going to pass out treats in a doctor costume (since I finished my medical coding classes). To go with the doctor costume, I found some squishy eyeball and eyeball ring toys to include with the candy (that was really the only body part trinkets we were able to find in significant enough bulk that were small enough to be Halloween trinkets).

This year I am going as a jailbird because it was the only costume that wasn't skimpy and it was cheap.Plus my college is having its own harvest festival.

I just bought a "fox kit" would is ears and a pin on tail. *shrug* I never claimed creativity with costumes. I'll be wearing it and going to watch the costume contest my school has. Also, it has a little candy hunt where you go to different offices to grab stuff.

I just finished my costume yesterday. It's not really anything specific, but I'm calling it "nature sorceress." I made a medieval-ish dress out of pale green panne velvet and sewed silk ivy around the hems. I also have an ivy circlet and a staff I made by gluing little vines and a green fishing float to the end of a thick dowel. I plan to draw leaves on my face with makeup. I'll try to get some good pictures to show everyone.

Themed as Batman villains. Specifically, we got Joker, Two-Face, Poison Ivy and Hugo Strange (that would be me).

You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.

Savage is the one I've never heard of.

I'm going to be a lolita witch.

Historical reenactmenttttttt

Actually no. Still hundreds of dollars ahead of me.

Banned entirely for telling FE that he was being rude and not contributing to the discussion. I shall watch down from the goon heavens.

Man, nearly everyone is more creative than me. Well, at least I'm doing something different than wearing that yellow dress again.

Member of an anti-Kira fringe group. Mask, hat encompassing the hair, silverish candlestick, gloves, shirt reading "47" in Cloister Black font, heart-shaped necklace engraved with "Please Resuscitate" (which I imagine seriously annoys the hypothetical people who wear them to show they wouldn't be a waste of an ER team's valuable time, but I also imagine the symbolism is too tempting to resist)... yeah, I'm a tad psychotic.

Hail Martin Septim!

Reviving for the fun:

My son wants to be Rocket Raccoon for Halloween. I normally hand-make all of his costumes, like with needle and thread because I don't have access to a working sewing machine.

So this is going to be both fun and annoying mainly because I know I can do this, I just don't know if I can do it in time. I can try though.

I would be Blackjack O'Hare if I had time, but I don't think I will.

Is anyone else making or assembling their costumes this year?

A little late replying, but...

I'm making mine. I always do. This year I'm going as an "ocean goddess," meaning a blue-green crepe dress (one shoulder strap, kind of Grecian-inspired but not really), a sheer shawl with a print that looks like swirling water, lots of pearls, and a seashell crown that I still need to make. Maybe I'll find/make a prop trident.

On another note, I went to a Spirit store to hunt for accessories last night. I didn't find any, but you know what else I didn't find? Ethnic stereotype costumes. No "geisha," no "drunk sombrero dude," no "Poke-Her-Hotness," none of that BS. It was really refreshing. And Spirit is the biggest Halloween chain around.

I do not have parties to go costumed to! Otherwise I would be a slutty Genghis Khan.

Hell though. If I could? have just about anything? as in. Just imagining? Rorschach is the obvious answer, but there is also NCR Rangers◊ or something far simpler, Zhe Medic◊

It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes

What about the regular Rangers?

None of this Veteran Rangers crap.

What, like, a park ranger? Smokey the bear? that'd be silly! A power ranger? Yeah, ok.

No, the regular NCR Rangers.

I do not think they look very special to be distinguishable at sight.

But the Veteran Rangers are too mainstream.

If you say so. But I still like them. So if I had to choose between something I aesthetically liked, but popular, against something I did not find aesthetically noteworthy, then I guess I would go with the Veteran Rangers still.

... This is a real thing?

My kids have TOS costumes, in blue and gold. I therefore joked to my wife that I needed a red shirt and my kilt, and we could go as Kirk, Spock, and Scotty. She didn't find that as amusing as I did.

That’s the epitome of privilege right there, not considering armed nazis a threat to your life. - Silasw
