Halloween costume ideas? #1

I was in WalMart today buying some groceries when I noticed that the Halloween section was being stocked.

I've already been invited to a couple of Halloween parties for the coming month. I haven't really bothered with a costume since high school, usually just picking up a cheap plastic mask, or Groucho glasses. I was thinking this year I might do something a little bit more entertaining. But, I don't want to spend a lot of money, nor do I want to put a lot of work into it.

Are those horse masks played out? Because I haven't ever seen anyone wear one around here, and I'm not sure how many of my friends are even aware of their existence.


Any recommendations or input? Do you have any plans?

Because of last year's unexpected snow storm, I wasnt able to go out for halloween.

So this year I'm going to be the same thing, which was Gumby.

I thought about getting a skeleton morphsuits but I'm planning to go out to the bars during Halloween and don't want to keep taking off the mask everytime I want to drink. My other idea is dress up as the phantom of the opera but instead of a mask, gonna get my sister to do some serious makeup on the side of my face.

I would love to do next year if my friends weren't poor this year is dress up as The Warriors.

Go with Cardinal instead.



Pretty much any animal head mask combined with a black cloak (ala Eyes Wide Shut) is horrific.

I think I'm gonna dress up as Captain Jack Harkness. If anything, it'll give me a great excuse to hit on every cute girl around. I just need to find a coat that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

I remember one Halloween I went as a 'nerd' with one button unhooked to reveal a superman outfit. So people ended up thinking I was Clark Kent.

It wasn't my Clark Kent outfit. It was my May 27, 1995 Christopher Reeve outfit

I'm considering doing Grunkle Stan this year.


Last year I went as a Ghostbuster. I went so far to get a real jumpsuit, name patch with my name on it, and I even made my own Ecto Goggles.

lololol. You are pushing the envelope and are truly a irreverent thinker. If only the rest of us weren't so conditioned to act "normal" we could think of dressing like a person involved as the instigator or victim of a tragic incident.

I know, I could dress as the flaming wreckage of World Trade Center Tower 1. No, that's too old. I'm no good at counter cultural thinking.

If I can find it, I was gonna go as Hawkeye for Halloween.

Actually, was going to do a modified version of the all black uniform when I do the Warrior Dash in October and then the Avengers uniform version for Halloween.

Poor taste is enjoying a racist ventriloquist act. Dressing up as to remind everyone of a horrible incident is a sad, whimpering cry for attention.
