It's that time of year again! Or, it will be in a month. But hey, it's never too early to start getting into the haunted Halloween spirit! So, got any plans for Halloween? Anyone start working in their costumes? Anyone finished with their costumes? Anyone even planning to wear a costume? Got a marathon of horror movies planned? A night of playing ZOMBIES!!! with friends? Gonna check out local Halloween attractions?
I started my Halloween two weeks ago with the planning and building of a duck tape Xenomorph, then got into the spirit with Horrorfind Weekend 12, held in Gettysburg last weekend. And... I have pics, Well, Ashley has pics, as we (Ringman and I) attended it with her family.

Great way to kick off the Halloween season. The pics look awesome thus far, Quickie. Haha, awesome pic with Bruce.

Nice Costume, It shows that you put tons of effort into it.
Anyway, Halloween is a special time of year. Nobody in our area does anything special. And kids are as unoriginal as ever. So I lock the door, hoard the candy, turn the front door light off, and post a "NO CANDY GO AWAY" sign. At least, thats what I'm doing this year.
I'm a Halloween Scrooge. If I had cash I would *consider* going around dressed as Zero. But in our area I like to say there are Halloween Nazi's who think it should only be for the little ones in Elementary School. Thats why we have them parade around like idiots for their parents to see their horrendous store-bought costumes. Because in our area being older than 10 is too old for Halloween.
I just got sick of it after 4th grade, Free Candy be damned. I'd rather not have a headache caused by too much Sugar.
At least when I last did it I had a Homemade Costume, damnit! And Even better, I still have the hat! I love that thing.

What's Bruce like? down to earth?
-
So, got any plans for Halloween?
No.
Anyone start working in their costumes?
Nope.
Anyone finished with their costumes?
No.
Anyone even planning to wear a costume?
Not me.
Got a marathon of horror movies planned?
Nope.
A night of playing ZOMBIES!!! with friends?
No.
Gonna check out local Halloween attractions?
Definitely not.
-

He was cool. He ribbed alotta the contestants, from what I was told (I was backstage waiting my turn with other contestants). He held the baby who was dressed as a spider. And he signed the arm of one contestant. Though, when he pointed out to one chick that her buying a dress and then applying latex special FX makeup doesn't qualify as "home-made," she got all pissed and stormed off stage! No one saw her come back after that.
-
That's hilarious.
-
(http://a.imageshack.us/img3/3305/p9040162.jpg)
This is the chick who got all pissy. She tried to cover her ass, saying that she made the spine, that she sewed something, even though she had admitted prior that she bought the dress. And the latex spine looks like it was applied at Gut+Rot's booth, as they did that kinda stuff.
There was another girl in Renn Faire get-up who tried to hog the stage and read emo-Goth poetry. Bruce got the audience to make alotta noise and chased her off the stage!

GOTTA LOVE DAT BRUCE CAMPBELL

I came up with my costume idea a bit late, so ill just go as Anime Tenchou again and work on the costume for next year.
This time, im actually going to style the hair on the wig as to make it look good.
-
I love that Xenomorph costume.
-
I forgot to mention that in my last post. The costume kicks ass, Quickie. way to go. :D
-
I plan to basically, do as I do every year, throw a party and make a haunted house in the back. Costumes aren't really my thing anymore because of the limited quantities of things required to make a costume here these days.
-
I have a Jin Kisaragi costume in the mail. And I'm going to make a cheapo Ice Car to go with it. When I go to NYAF, I may use my Agito costume for one day.

You got a lot of looks for it when you went last year.
-
I'm hoping to get more with Jin actually.
-
I'll just be a girl.
And if things go well next week, I may have bewbs to go with it! :D
-
I don't know what to make of that last sentence. Are you getting breast implants, puberty, or secretly a man getting a sex change?

I thought everyone knew I was the last one.

If I DID have plans for Halloween, I would go through my entire day wearing a costume.
-
I thought everyone knew I was the last one.
I only knew of this one... OH YOU CHANGED YOUR GODDAMN NAME.
-
I kept Mirby all over my sig...
-
I instinctively filter sigs. The only ones that ever catch my attention are the obnoxious scrolling ones that I helped invent and Sato's butt shake.
-
I see...
So I was right that pretty much everyone knew. :P
-
I vaguely recall it being mentioned before. Does that count?
-
Yes.
Now to quit the threadjacking. :(

Hey folks, Halloween is fast approaching, so this is as good a day as any to resurrect this topic back from the dead. Got any plans this Halloween? Working on any costumes? Intend to attend a party? Gonna go trick-or-treating? Gonna hand out candy? Gonna hide in the hedge and spray kids with the garden hose? Halloween, hell the entire month of October for that matter, is the only time where people can cosplay and not be at a convention and have it be sorta socially acceptable. So, use that to your advantage!
-
I've decided that October is Godzilla month. Oh, and pretty much like every Halloween, I'll be at the Village Halloween Day Parade.
-
I'll be putting up the "NO CANDY, GO AWAY" Sign.
And then I'll be hoarding the candy for myself.
-
maybe a Halloween party with pals.

Been watching Cinemassacer's Monster Madness marathon they do yearly. I'll stick with that. Maybe a movie a' thon from King Kong vs. Godzilla all the way to Nightmare before Christmas too.
-
=/ This year my friend and I were going to go about as Athena and Aphrodite but my costume doesn't fit right in the chest area and I really don't know how to fix it without ruining it more. >.<
The first weekend of October my mother, brother, his wife, and myself went to the Ashland Berry Farm to pick some pumpkins. They take you out the patch in a wagon being pulled by tractors and let you take as many as you want back with you. But you gtta be able to carry them all for three steps. We got about... oh thirteen/ fourteen stacked on my brother. XD Plus a few little gourds and I brought a white pumpkin.
A few days before Halloween I'll carve three of them up for Gordy to display when he decorates his house up for Halloween. Since he and Nikki live in a neighborhood with plenty of kids it became a tradition that we all sit about on Halloween and give out candy. (Needless to say, my brother and I adore this holiday out of the year. Sadly because Nikki is pregnant we can't do Ashland Berry Farm's haunted stuff. )

I see this as both a good and bad thing for some perverted reason! 8D
Good luck though.

Our front door is ready for Halloween. Ready and hungry for costumed hooligans.

That would really scared kids, especially with the right lighting.

Oh, since I utilized this earlier today, here's a quick and easy (and messy) way to make bloody smeared hand prints without going through the trouble to slaughter someone. First, though, you'll wanna make sure you have some really good hand cleaner. Fast Orange, GoJo, Lava soap, Masters' Hand Soap, really heavy-duty stuff. You'll need it.
Anywho, get out some butcher paper (or freezer paper, or just a big sheet of white paper) and lay it flat. Get some red food dye and put a drop on the tip of each finger and the heel of your hand, then rub your hands together to get both palms evenly coated.
Slap your hands down on the paper, then drag them to one side. Repeat if desired.
Immediately wash your hands using the aforementioned cleaner so that your skin isn't stained red.
Tape up your newly-made crime scene.

Huh that's a pretty neat idea. I may run it by my brother next time I see him.

Oh you! XD
Yeah, it sucks being well endowed at times. But I may do something else different. Samurai schoolgirl~! :V
-
I'm going to get some items for my costume tomorrow, my costume is pretty easy even those it's a cosplay but I need some fingerless red gloves and decent goggles, or I'll have to resort to getting swim goggles. Weather is also a issue since I have no idea how hot or cold it'll be, though usually it's cold, in which case I'm worried about my legs.
-
Well, Ive decided I wont re-use the Anime Tenchou costume. Ill go to party city, and buy some stuff to make a costume.
-
Good luck, but if that doesn't work you could always try Indianna Jones.

So, who are you going as? The description reminds me of something... Can I see the cosplay when it's finished?
-
I'm going to try to cosplay as Rita Mordio, it seems easy enough.
My brother is even going to try to dress up for Halloween this year and he hasn't done that since...I honestly don't remember though it'll probably be Indianna Jones since he doesn't want to spend money, he is in college after all. Though if it weren't annoying to wear that broken belt on his head and not so embarassing to wear tighty whities on the outside of his pants he could of gone as Quailman like he did this summer...you know I think that's the most creative idea he's ever had...ever.

Oh it wont be that hard at all. Party city has EEEEVERYTHIIIING.
Since my friends were going as steampunk pirates, I decided I would see their 2 steampunk pirates, and raise them one elegant gothic aristocrat. (Contrasting with CYBERPUNK would have been better, but I dont have the time to make a GOOD cyberpunk costume, and EGA would be just plain easier to do.)
Cant be too hard. Buy a "Victorian vampire" costume from Party city, maybe some accessories, some makeup, stuff like that, some items from around the house, and I'll put it together. hell, said friends have a cane I can use if I decide to go with that.
their costumes are coming along great BTW. they took two nerf guns and modded them to shoot farther and stuff, as well as painting them in better colors. We were having a bit too much fun with them yesterday's DnD session. XD
-

God danm my town/county sucks. :|
EDIT: Steam Punk Pirates?
-
No Party City? Most costume stores have enough stuff to make a simple costume. I think. Havent been to many stores outside of Party city since I have one that i can get too in a few minutes by bus.
Well, there IS that one place where they closed the ToysRus that was there. every year they open the place as a Halloween store for costumes and stuff. bought the wig and gloves for the Tenchou costume there.

Actually I think there is a Party city in the town my mom and I usually don't go to but the last time I went there it was kinda hard to find a costume. Not to mention expensive. Plus you know how slutty teenager costumes can be.
-
that, is actually true. Very true. Actually, almost 90% of the female costumes in the catalogue are.
-
Yeah this is definitly going to be a problem in the future if I ever get a daughter.
-
Well, if she wants to dress that way, there will be very little you will be able to do anyway, the way i see it. :B
-
I think she is more scarred about her daugther finding pics of her mother in said outfit 8D
-
Yeah, I won't lie. I do love the Halloween parade for that reason, among others! [eyebrow]
-
I would like to see it....whats with the german advertisment slogan PB?
-
Something I saw once that made me chuckle.
-
Well, if she wants to dress that way, there will be very little you will be able to do anyway, the way i see it. :B
Which is why I hope I raise her right, what with all the people in my school acting like idiots.

May I hit you with a giant brass pillow filled with steel for even sugesting that?
Yeah, I won't lie. I do love the Halloween parade for that reason, among others! [eyebrow]
Somehow I'm not suprised, but what are the other reasons?
-
so I went to party city to check out one or two of the costumes so I can maybe modify them.
They both sucked. Of course I should have expected as much from a run of the mill costume like that, I couldnt possibly modify them because I might as well make my own. either a vake vest, or a vest with a fake back and attatche sleves and stuff, yeah. I have a black dress shirt, ill add some ruffles to that, and a jabot, I have some boots, wear those... steal my Mom's black leather gloves, and ill have the costume. Then maybe some makeup from CVS...
-
Somehow I'm not suprised, but what are the other reasons?
Cause it's a lot of fun, and people come up with really clever and awesome costumes.
-
Hmm... To think, we'll have to wait 5 more years for Halloween to land on a weekend again. (I cound Friday in because come on, its right before the weekend, so theres no harm in staying up late!)
-
Meh you can always celebrate the weekend before.
-
Not much of a halloween celebrater but in the spirits of things and so I "fit" in the category, I'll be going out as everyone's favorite defense attorney. ;)
Now to get signs that come out of nowhere when I don't like certain types of candies. lol.
-
if i had better sunglasses and a leather jacket i would be set for a terminator get-up.
but i would just sit around at home wearing it. its too cold where i am.

SO if this isn't the general Halloween pix thread I'm going to convert it into that right now.

Pics eventually if my boyfriend gets the connector for his camera to upload them. But I was a white kitty; it was awesome!
Also, saw an epic Kratos cosplay. The guy put some serious thought into it (full body paint and such). It was quite stellar.

Oh, for anyone who is interested in the outcome of the Spook-Duck-Ular Costume Contest... we didn't win. So, yeah, bugger that.
Though, for me, Halloween isn't over until the Thanksgiving turkey is on the table. That phantom face I drew is still on our front door and I don't intend on taking it down anytime soon.

Lol, leave it up then. it was awesome.
I totally forgot this thread was here, so ill drop this off here then.
