Halloween Costume Ideas

I'm dressing up as [name is bannable so won't be mentioned]

I haven't decided yet, but I presume that I'm probably going to a party of some sort. I might go as a ninja/samurai. I'll have to get a nice cardboard sword to swing around, since all the ones we normally use in the dorm have been worn down to dagger-length. I've had to downgrade twice, once from longsword (cardboard strut) to dagger/buckler (broken strut, cardboard box), and now to a morning star (socks tied together). It gets fucking violent in here, you'd be suprised how much damage 3-4 pairs of socks can do at high velocity.

Not nearly as much as someone swinging those heavy struts, but then again I can usually use the sock whip to snag + disarm [lol]

Kind of hard to block projectiles with the whip though...

Talk Like a Pirate Day really inspired me.
I may go with the whole pirate gig. Rrrr.

Mushu: on October 31st we will be sworn enemies. (But only for a day) [smile]

I'll be dressed up as a California Highway Patrol officer. Girlfriend will be dressed up like an Egyptian Queen of some sort.

I'm pretty sure I will also have to get some handcuffs for...uh...the costume. Yeah.

I can imagine - especially if they're not clean ...

Well, if you're going to be dressed up like some monster from Doom, make sure to set fire to yourself, as burning monsters are always cooler than non-burning ones.

Or, go see a local butcher and get some intestines and attach it to your belly area. It sure must look fucking scary if you have intestines hanging around over the place :P

I've got a rubber pigtail redhead wig thing, and a black shirt that says "COSTUME" in orange letters.

Buckethead for me.

Man, if I had the balls I'd do it for a picture. Actually, I'd probably do it if reasonably compensated ... [grin]

That's almost like the kid who jumped out of his car while driving to make a "cool" video. He died too.

I'm dressing up as Guts (Gatsu if you must).

if I do, I have a full shirt of maille armour, and I can crank out a barrel helm in a day or two, and I can go as a crusader!

I'm going to dress up as a tourist.

Basically, I'll be wearing the same clothes as normal, but I'll be taking pictures of random crap.

Just get a giant rubber glove and go as Fruny :P That oughta scare the younglings straight

Where are you getting that sword?
I wonder how much it would weigh if it was pure steel.

Which gatsu? The young one with both arms, or are you going to have a cannon on your left arm? [smile]

I'm going to dress as Princess Morning from Morning's Wrath...

but seriously, haven't decided yet. I think I might try a Scottish Highland Warrior getup or maybe a Spartan Warrior, they're pretty similar. The problem is, kilts are freaking expensive, a good one easily runs $300USD.

I wouldn't weild a shield and rapier, though. Just a claymore.


The sword is wrong and there's not enough red, but meh.

Last Year:


This year:


I have a chinchilla that I'm going to somehow dye yellow and black.

If I can, I'll try to be something from StarCraft. Maybe like a Hydralisk or something... Any ideas on how to make a Hydralisk costume?

I suppose I could dress as Squall Leonhart. I have the clothes, I have lots of brown hair, I have the necklace, and I can squint all the time. All I need to do is give myself a badass scar and I'm ready!
