PaRappa the Rapper

End thread.

If you go as PAGAN, don't forget drugz for the snake.

Joker make-up + grey or black cloak = Heath Ledger's Ghost

What, too soon?

A slutty Khan?

-----------------------------------------------

Is it even POSSIBLE, to recreate that awesome Montalban mantittage?

The spouse is going as Dr. Horrible or Captain Hammer for the Mud Run in a couple of weeks. I get to dress him. It'll be fun.

My go to cheapo idea: Grecian goddess. You need the following: one white/off-white twin size sheet (or whatever size you think you are), white underclothes as sheet is see-through, one gold hoop, and some gold leaves to make a wreath for your head. Apply bronzer liberally and get some sandals.

Finito.

I'm going to be blind. All you need is sunglasses and a cane. I took the mop handle from my Swiffer and covered it with red, black, and white duct tape to look like a blind person's cane. My life-size cardboard cutout of Han Solo (who comes with me to Halloween parties) will also be wearing sunglasses, and I got him an invisible seeing-eye dog on a leash to hold. Total cost of both costumes: $12.00.

Sigh... I'm doing the same thing I do every damned year - half Kenny Rogers & half Dolly Parton, circa 1983. Minimus, as always, will be a boob.

We're thinking about going as McCainenstein (stiff arms, no higher than shoulder height, of course) and Bride of McCainenstein. Bride can be Cindy or Sarah.

Second thoughts were cannibalistic twin (gluing baby parts to your abdomen or some such thing). Of course no one ever gets our costumes, so maybe you'd better use someone else's suggestions.

Is "blind" a costume now? Seems like a bit much. I usually go for the cheapest pop culture reference I can find. Last year- Soulja Boy. This year- no clue. The Joker will be everywhere. Terrible costume idea. Nobody wants to hook up with the creepy looking guy covered in lipstick and greasepaint. And there'll be a million of them.

Nobody wants to hook up with the creepy looking guy covered in lipstick and greasepaint

a lot of lead singers from goth bands would disagree with you

My two costumes that I always do, which I am only sharing now because I am not dressing up as them this year seeing as 12 year olds probably won't get it:

1) Daria

2) Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) from Pulp Fiction right after the adrenaline shot. Suction cup at the end of a syringe works nicely.

There is my brilliance...for all of you.

the mighty quail is a good pick

This year, my son determined my Halloween costume, so for the first time (and probably not the last) all control as been wrested from me of what is normally my favorite challenge of the year.

I am fresh out of fun ideas; my toddler has captured my costuming mojo. Shameful, because the Mister Pink and I have a long standing tradition of crazy, inspired costumes.

But in college one of my girlfriends, in a fit of intoxicated creativity, took a packet of those glow-in-the-dark stars and stuck them all over her black outfit. She frolicked about the whole night exclaiming proudly, "I AM THE UNIVERSE!" I dunno; it kind of worked.

If you're going as part of a couple, may I suggest Bristol Palin & Levi Johnston? All you'd need is a pillow, a dirty hockey jersey, some shitkickers and a bottle of booze (for the mommma, of course).

If you're going alone, you can't go wrong with Jem. You'd be truly outrageous. Truly, truly, truly outrageous.

And Dustin, I think Lil'Pajiba should go as Godtopus. Sure, no one would know who he was, but they'd find it impossible to resist dumping their entire bucket of candy into his treat bag once they caught a glimpse of that glorious, glowing eye.

I saw a recommendation somewhere for a really cheap, easy costume: wear what you normally would and slap on one of those "Hi, my name is..." tags filled in with "the Final Cylon." I'd do it, too, if it weren't for the fact that no one I work with likes BSG so it'd be totally lost on them.

Alabamapink, I love your friend's costume idea. Too bad I've nowhere to go Halloween night or I'd consider doing that.

I used to do the "Hi My Name Is..." and fill in God a la Oz from Buffy that one year.

But I love the Final Cylon idea. I'm totally doing it.

I've been meaning to try to do Wednesday Addams for years, since I get called Wednesday when i'm in regular clothes quite often. But I don't have the money to get togheter a costume.

Or anywhere to go, for that matter.

Joe Six-Pack. The options are endless.

Connie and I are going as Dracula and one of his "victims". Should be pretty neat!

"Connie and I are going as Dracula and one of his "victims".

I've got a killer money-saving idea for you - go sans costume and be a total douchebag!

Dustin whatever you do, do not submit to those ridiculous packaged costumes for babies/toddlers. Gawd, those things are grotesque and never look very comfortable for the kid ensconced.

Last year, Little A was Big Bird. I sewed a feather boa onto a yellow hoodie and felt stripes onto orange sweatpants. He was insanely adorable. . I still have the hoodie and would gladly pass it along to the wee 'jiba.

Ok, I tried to post a costume picture on Facebook. I hope it worked. I suppose I can just be an inept computer geek.

I was Daria one year too! Awesome... I've actually still got my jacket. But the one costume I've always wanted to do but never had the guts to pull it off was Jubilation Lee, from the X-Men.

(She's the only one I could possibly pull off, height-wise. If I were tall, I would be Psylocke!)

Hot damn, MissNev, if that weren't a costume I'd be all over you.

I'm going as the bed that eats people.

Am I going to have to get a damned Facebook account now?

Last year, we went as musicians who died at 27. Being the only black member of the team, I dressed up as Jimi Hendrix (w/ fake ali g mustache).

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o95/TeresaElectro/jimismokes.jpg

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o95/TeresaElectro/forever27_group.jpg

After work, I was totally over the felt mustache itching my nose, so I put on a tank top, used the hendrix headband as a hippy belt, put on heels and turned myself into Foxy Brown. All you really need is the afro wig and you can pull off either pretty easy...if you're of the brown persuasion that is.

That's the most successful costume i've done. When I was a tennis player (non descript) with a green tshirt dress and white sweatband. Simple, right? No, two ppl asked if I was Serena Williams and one jerkwad called me Arthur Ashe. Never doing that again.

Year before that I fenagled my hair into a quasi faux hawk, covered myself in fake blood and walked around w/ a kitchen knife ---- Selena from '28 Days Later'. Absolutely no one got that costume, but I was proud.

That's a retired Hooters Girl! Several years ago, when I was coupled, we went as Adam and Eve. I dyed long johns flesh colored, drew on our "body parts", felt fig leaves, I wore a long wig and we had leaf wreaths. Several people did double takes before realizing my breasts were drawn on! (ok, my daughter did the art work. That's why it looked real).

For you Zombie wannabees, I highly recommend Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask, available at any drug store in the beauty ailse. It's a old 1960's acne treatment, basically mud dyed green. If you gunk it on really thick, it dries and cracks and looks like rotting flesh. And the best part is that it clears up your acne while you wear it. You can also stick bits of cheese cloth in it for a rotting mummy effect.

People won't believe it's not a mask. Well it is a mask, but not the beauty kind, kind of.

a bit OT but it's driving me nuts- I am about to tit slap our office assistant- the way she openly goes after the CEO in the office in front of everyone is fucking embarrassing. Talking in a little girl voice every time she fucks up (I'm sawwwry) batting the eyelashes, puffing the chest up I mean is so brazen its amazing nobody has reminded her the guy is married...with kids. What's worse is my office is RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of this would be seduction so every single day I'm treated to a 8 hr verbal lap dance.

end rant.

I went as Waldo back in high school. The basics were easy (jeans, striped shirt, toque, backpack), but finding the little details might prove to be a bit difficult... luckily, we had plastic kids toys lying around, so the binoculars and the camera weren't breakables. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if any kids these days would get the costume.

My friend and a bunch of girls she knows are dressing up as the various stages of Britney Spears' career. Should be interesting.

Like another poster I also dressed up as Jem in 2006. Last year it was Cheetara. This year my boyfriend and I are going as Dean Venture and Triana Orpheus. Mostly because we were too poor to attempt The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend.

One day I'll watch shows that aren't animated, but I doubt I'll be better off for it.

I just wanted to share because I figured someone here would appreciate this. Three of my friends and myself are going as Captain Hammer and his fanclub. Really because I want a t-shirt with Nathan Fillion's face on it, and refuse to buy it online from some random site. Also, I get to be the psuedo creepy one carrying around his hair in a ziploc bag (mounted on a piece of paper). I'm excited.

...and no pun intended on the "big hit"

The wee-bibli is going to be a lobster this year (her first - she's 10 months). I have a big metal pot that I'm going to try to sit her in, and I'm pulling the whole works around the neighborhood in a Radio Flyer.

Me, I'm gonna be a beer wench. You know, with the big, baby-boobs.

Last year I was an enormously preggo Zombie in a Hospital Gown. Took 4 hours to do my make-up (contacts, latex wounds, blood running down the insides of my thighs - the works, man), and I was scary as shit. Made a little kid cry. It was awesome.

I figured it was the last time I'd be able to go scary for awhile, so I did balls to the wall gore.

I went as the night sky once, back in university...dressed all in black, with dollar store glow-in-the-dark stars attached to me. You could get ambitious and form constellations (me, not so ambitious). 'Twas kind of fun, and very cheap. I may recycle that idea this year for the office party, in fact....

I have a red riding hood cloak that I usually use for the work day (children's librarian, it's a huge hit). This year, I'm doing the standard pumpking tshirt, however mine is a tshirt inherited from my mother in the seventies and fantastic. I'll do pumpkin face makeup and spray my hair colors. I'm moving that week and a wee bit too stressed for anything. Next year's goal is to create a regency/Jane Austen era dress. I've got the pattern picked out as well as the fabric. I just don't have the time for the sewing.

My favorite costume from my college days was a woman in a fairy costume, complete with wand who was the f**k fairy. She walked around waving the wand and wishing us "good lays". She passed out treat bags with a few pieces of candy and a condom. So it's health conscious!

I was having a drink with my classmate and his roommate last week, and this was the idea they had:

K: We should dress up as foreskins.
J: Yeah? I guess we could do that.
K: Yeah, and then we can try docking with each other in the street.

At this point I laughed so hard I had to put my head down on the table.

J: (looking at me) Why do you know what that is!?!
Me: I watch xtube!!! I'm so sorry!

Also, a toddler R2D2 would totally rock my world.

I'm going as the scariest thing evah! Bill O'Reilly. Complete with yelling at people for being a democrat

I was Morning After Girl once...I wore a slightly ripped and punch stained dress. I smeared my makeup and teased up my hair for sex hair. I glue an empty condom wrapper to the back of my dress and I broke one of my heels and ripped my pantyhose. Because I was a slut in college it was a mostly authentic outfit.

Oh and I saw a kid dressed as Quailman from Doug today (I don't know if you ever saw Doug...somehow I'm too old to have been watching it, but I caught it all the time). It was an amazing costume!

I love me some Yip Yips, and this one is actually fairly easy to pull together

If I ever have the time and money to build this, I will be one badass bitch (literally).

A guy I knew in high school did a "chick magnet" costume by duct-taping barbie dolls to a black shirt. Pretty effective. ALSO; workable for a toddler.

The past three years I've been female super-heroes. I've been elastigirl (from The Incredibles), Molotov Cocktease (from the Venture Brothers), and Blossom (from the Power-Puff girls). I might be repeating Blossom this year, but my current hair color is making a real case for Dark Phoenix from X-3.

"Sexy ketchup bottle" has been a shorthand with one of my friends ever since.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrRGp4BSTyE

A plain but easy one, 60's housewife, with ratted hair and a prescription bottle with a new label reading "Mother's little helper."

I went as Mia Wallace one year, I still love the way that wig looks on me. Hot.

This year I will be campaigning among strangers in Ohio, so no costumer for me. If I had the balls I'd go as Palin. It'd be a hell of an excuse to get some hot new Tina Fey glasses.

The most fun costume I had was to dress up as a gangster--"Baby Face" perforce, since I'm a girl--and the guy I was dating went as a gangster dressed up with boxes on his feet meant to look like cement blocks and his lapels festooned with seaweed.

Second to that was "beer wench" complete with blonde braids, a peasant top, wee skirt with ric rac and of course a giant stein. I do a killer German accent so that worked for me.

But next year, I think I'd like to be Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas.

I think babies should generally be dressed up as comestibles. They're so fat and round. And everyone knows we all secretly want to eat them up. Yummy babies.

Or maybe a sock monkey. A baby as a sock monkey would be cute.

One costume I'd totally love to see on someone would be that shower costume that the Karate Kid wore that night he got his ass kicked by the Cobra Kai boys.

This year, I'm trying to convince the Mister to go with me as the Bad Idea Bears.

All you need are: a pink teddy, a blue teddy and shrill annoying voices. Being drunk actually improves this costume greatly.

My sister is going as an abortion: She will be the fetus, her friend will follow her around with a vacuum.

One of my friends is going to go as Han Cholo....you know, little bandana, shoot the phaser from the side. get your lean on while driving the Falcon....

I always went as Barney Rubble (big surprise) I had the outfit, moose slippers and the laugh. I haven't been to a Halloween party in a couple years and I lost that outfit. I'd throw on an old football jersey and Zubaz and carry around a bottle of O.E. and say I'm me from college. I'm too busy to get creative.

I dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween once! But I didn't talk at all because I don't actually know what her voice sounds like. The visual was spot on, though.

One of my favorite costumes I ever did was a mime in 5th grade. Easy, just black pants, a black and white striped shirt, black beret, and I got to have fun with face make up. Of course, my awesome friends thought that the mime should be authentic and not talk. Whores.

I was always (and am still a bit to this day) obsessed with Wednesday Addams, so after watching "The Addams Family Values" for a week straight I decided to tell my older sister. Big mistake there, let me tell you. Bitch stole my costume! Sure, mom let her because she was a big bad 5th grader and the black pilgrim dress my cousin gave us fit her better. Of course, that meant I just bitched and moaned until Mommy dearest bought me a brand new expensive costume that made her Wednesday look like shit. She painted her face white for some reason, smudged on some red lipstick and cut up black tights and made them into braids. Dumbass.

One of the best costumes I've ever seen was a jellyfish. It was dead easy, too, just take an umbrella and hang crepe paper from it.

My kid's most memorable costumes have been:

A Shih Tzu (at 8 months, still crawling age, very cute)
Tweety Bird
Xena, Warrior Princess
Tap-Dancing Ballerina Fairy Princess Veterinarian

My ex-husband's old Halloween standby was the classic, "Drunk in a Cape." Though one year he stuck a cardboard six pack container on his head, like a crown, and carried a scepter made of a toilet plunger and a crushed can. He was the King of Beers that year.

my roommate and i are going as Calvin and Hobbes. Of course I'm stuck being Hobbes, but this costume is going to equal instant classic.

Well..."fault" is such a loaded word. I did make him the cape, for what it's worth.

Oh, thought of an idea that I never did use, because it was just a little too tacky at the time and now it's a little too irrelevant.

Dress up in khaki shirt and shorts and hiking boots. Do corpse-face makeup. Attach plush stingray (http://www.alphadogtoys.com/plush-puppies-dog-toys-large-stingray.html) to front of shirt. Voila, Steve Irwin!

The fridge form Indiana Jones 4.

I haven't had time to read all the suggestions, so I apologise if this has already been said. Surely Lil Pajiba should be the WhiskeyBabyNinjaStar!

I'm going as Marilyn Monroe. Bought the cheap white dress online, already have the blonde hair, red lipstick and done. I was thinking about finding one of those mini hand-held fans that people use in the summer to blow my skirt, but even I'm not that slutty.

My goal has always been to dress up like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz because I have a yorkie I could carry around as Toto, but Halloween costumes are about consuming large amounts of alcohol, and I don't trust drunks around my dog.

I've been a librarian the past few years, but I think this year it would come off as Sara Palin.

I've always wanted to get a group together and go as the Tannenbaums (I would be Margot)

A zombie acorn. Wearing a turban.

I've been a librarian the past few years, but I think this year it would come off as Sara Palin.

Please stop belittling me.

Dammit.

Couple of best Hallloween costumes I've ever seen:

1. Duffman! Blue lurex leggings and top, red 'utility belt' with 'duff cans strapped to it and a red cape. totally hilarious
2. Rainbow bright
3. Empire state building. The guy had made the costume out of foam and spray painted it. He even made a roof 'hat' and had an aeroplane and mini monkey hanging out of it (king kong).
Very, very funny - and all at the same Halloween party!

I am going to bust out my old navy uniform, make it look like a pipe is sticking out of my head all gory and such,and goes as the mechanic that was killed on the USS San Fran after it ran into an undersea mountain. Well...I'm on my way to hell....

Last year at H'ween, I had finally gotten up the nerve to cut all my hair off and style it spiky. So I sprayed it white and went as Madame Hooch in her Quidditch Referee uniform. I made the black and white robes with the Hogwarts crest and I made the b&w Quidditch pads and had a whistle and my shooting goggles and everything. I also wore it to the release of The Deathly Hallows, alongside a friend who went as Mad-Eye Moody. He wore a real preserved alligator head hanging from his belt - the kiddies went ga-ga! THAT was an easy costume - get yourself the eye and then hang crazy magic looking shit all over yourself. It's also an in-character way to keep a hip flask around unsuspecting kiddies. Not that my friend did that, of course. I'll probably be Hooch again this year. My kid wants to be a dark fairy so she can also wear her costume to the Renaissance Festival. Which is good, because she had originally wanted to be Midna, and I am just crazy enough about H'ween to have tried that!

I have to wear stuff that's kid friendly and easy to move around in because we always host a HUGE party for all the girls in my daughter's grade the night before H'ween. Thank godtopus our rural school is very small, because so is my house!

Wilmington, DE October 25th.

PISSBOY'S HALLOWEEN PARTY Pt. IV

All-Pajiban Invite.

woo-ha@att.net

A bunch of my friends and I are all going as the suspects from "Clue"--it's surprising how well each of the characters fitted with our personalities. There is no describing how excited I am about this. It strikes the right balance for me with the funny and the sexy. Plus we can all run around like fools and pretend to hide bodies. Or maybe not pretend, depending on how the night goes...

My husband and I are going as the scariest possible things we could think of this year:

John McCain and Sarah Palin.

It's going to be terrifying.

Mizz Teresa Electro, I'll just link to his myspace

It might be a little to late to put it in, but I want to go as the South Tower... that's right... with red paper as flames... a Toys R' Us plastic plane half melted sticking out... little lego men on strings that you can continually place as different windows and watch them jump...

The real kicker... underneeth, dress like a terrorist with an American Airlines Pilot cap... With Full beard and fake ak-47... so when you 1) get the crap beat out of you 2) fall down stupidly drung simulating the fall or 3) get shot/run over/ stabbed/ etc. and have to goto the hospital... you can rip the box off and scream in your loudest terrorist accent... "DIE STUPID INFIDELS!! DIE!!!" or "PRAISE ALLA!" or even "ARE YOU ONE MY 72 VIRGINS? you look like a virgin." eitherway, hilarity insues...

(too soon? I think NOT!)

I made myself one of those skeleton shirts, only I added a baby skeleton that fits nicely over my 8 month pregnant belly.

My back up option was a friend's Kool Aid Man costume. Big red sweatshirt with black felt eyes and smile and some killer white tights. OH YEAH!

My sister in law and her boyfriend are going to an 80s themed Halloween party - my suggestion (which totally rocks) was Weekend At Bernies. All they needed was a dummy in sunglasses and some 80s clothes. Done.

Hmmm.... I don't have any official plans yet, but I may either go as Marion Crane after the shower scene in Psycho or as Alex from A Clockwork Orange... can't really decide...

Liz, how about a Zombie Stripper?

I'm Australian also, we really don't do much here but the kids have a school dance on Halloween. So far I have requests for a vampire, a punk zombie and the eldest hasn't decided. Still hoping I can talk one of them into being a ninja (with or without the star, baby and whiskey).

Last I heard, Waldo was busted on a meth rap in Montana.

True Story

he killed a DEA agent.

MuppetMayhem, I love it... I have curly hair and glasses. I'm thinking slutty Trotsky? All I need is an icepick coming out of my head. And a Lenin to follow around.

Late to the party, but if anyone is still lurking....

I was out on Halloween once when 3 guys came in the bar in matching jump suits with something like "Big Johnson Movers" (or whatever) written over the pocket and in big letters on the back. But they carried a fucking sofa with them everywhere they went. I saw them at 3 different bars, each time sitting on that sofa. I thought it was genious.

A couple years ago this guy showed up at a halloween party with a straw hat, Hawaiian t-shirt, khakis & sneakers, out of the op of his hat he had a plastic green diamond with a green glowstick jammed inside - probably the most original costume I've seen, a Sim.

This year I'm going as Maleficent from Disney's sleeping beauty - should be funa

One year, a friend of mine and her boyfriend went as the old touristy couple at the casino. She wore an old housedress, slippers, a huge floppy hat and sunglasses, attached a casino coin bucket to the front of the walker, and kept stalking people for their barstools all night. He wore a scary ass windsuit with padding stuffed in it for a gut, tennis shoes, and a foam trucker hat.

im going as red riding hood this year to H'ween party. with curly hair and red ribbons and a fake wolfs head in a basket. i was going to take my dog but dont think doormen would let jack russel in!

My best costume idea thus far consists of a Cubs t-shirt and 10 feet of rope tied in a hangman's noose. I'll either be a historical representation of the organization itself or a very distraught fan.
