Halloween is just over one month away, and those who truly love what is obviously the best of all holidays are already planning their costumes. Good costumes don't come over night!
Last year, I had two costumes. The first party, I dressed as a New York Ranger (complete with pads, gloves, etc) and my buddy went as an NJ Devil. We kicked the shit out of each other all night at the party.
My other costume, two buddies and I went dressed as sailors and hit NYC. It's pretty fun convincing girls from other countries that you're actually a sailor.
This year, I am unsure of what to do. I'm currently leaning towards a group of five of us going dressed as the guys from Semi Pro with Will Farrell. Our little asian friend will be the coach, and we can apparently get customized names on our jerseys.
i went one year as a ghost, just a sheet with two eye holes. it got a lot of laughs! i'm not sure about this year, i hope to see some good ideas in this thread
Spending hundreds of dollars along with 3 friends and building custom ghostbuster costumes. Complete with proton packs too. Ordered a bunch of parts just the other day.
I wanted to get a full body predator suit, but it would run me about $800+ and its made of heavy latex... I'd so die of dehydration in that thing. Especially since the fact I want to wear it to the bar.
We don't really do Halloween here (apart form sitting around with friend watching horror flicks, but that's just us) but I have a highschool reunion on that day that may be themed halloween, in which case I'll prolly wear one of my ringmail shirts and bring a cardboard sword.
1st year in high school = multicolored hair, dark markings on face and very gothish. 2nd year in high school = Jedi 3rd year in high school = nothing 4th year in high school = the Tinman, my buddy was the Scarecrow and a girl was Dorothy. Someone was supposed to be the Lion but he was slack and didn't do it.
I've gone as Ron Burgundy, Buddy the Elf and Quailman. I also went as John Lennon (with someone as Yoko). Not sure what I'm gonna do this year.
Ron Burgundy was definitely my favorite though, since my best friend was Brian Fantana. We just walked around being really obnoxious all night. I must have said "I wanna be on you" to like 30 girls that night.

Great fucking excuse to use terrible Burgundy pick up lines LOL.
"Would you like to see my collection of leather bound books?"
I'll probably be nothing... Boring, I know, but I don't trick or treat anymore, or go to Halloween parties. I'll just... do something, I guess; 10/31 someone's birthday.

hahhahahahaahah, oh man
i should email this to my friend, he'll get a kick outta it. Two years ago, he war one of those kids darth vader costumes (basically a spandex outfit and a mask). The funniest fucking thing. I think this may be the way to top it.
im giving up on being kerrigan. i dont have the right proportions for her (or the right skin color to paint green on). i need another costume idea but i dont want it to be far fetched.. im trying to figure out what recognizable figure i could look like. and i want something at least moderately 'cool'. i dont wanna try for another "slutty ___" costume
Last year I just grabbed a few random things from my room, i ended up like a cross between a cowboy and indiana jones, but my roommate had the best costume, he put on a sweater vest and borrowed my lab goggles (im a chem major so i have my own lab goggles) and he was a physics professor, it was so epic

Me and my friend want to go as Super Sayians this year, does anyone know how to make a costume that would look like Goku or Vegita or something?
We already have a tape recording of Goku screaming for 3 straight minutes, so we're just going to play that over a boombox and scream about our power levels.

Lol, bring a scouter and shout NINETHOUSAAAND at everything
I think im going to go as macho man randy savage for at least one night. problem is, there's no costumes and ive got to make it.
i figure i can find some cheap kinda pleather jacket at the salvation army, and then make the frills myself. why question is, what the hell would i make the pants out of (spandex and then paint em? seems cheesy. I'm not married to this macho man outfit, i can do something easier) also, where would i find cheap wrestling boots?
Yes I am going to be Bruce Lee from "The Game of Death" (I'm Asian so it's cool) I wish I had a tall black friend that would dress up like Kareem Abdul Jabaar... oh well.
I don't know what the uniting theme is, but the costume was ripped up jeans, samurai armor made out of Cup Noodles packs and cups, a soviet gas mask, welding goggles, a black skullcap, and a blue Cat in the Hat hat.

Borrowed the jacket, the rest cost ~5 dollars at a party store. I dyed my hair the next day too.
Funny thing is this wasn't for Halloween, it was for US AP presentations for greatest American... You can guess who I got.
I'm probably going to go as a zombie from half-life. i already have a lab coat, just need to photoshop a black mesa ID tag and get some fake blood... oh yeah, and i need a headcrap, too

That would be an amazing accomplishment if you could pull it off.
1) taking a door off its hinges and putting it in the door frame of house im going to, then ringing door bell. when they open the door.... theres another door. i could either open that door and go "oh look at them theyre so cute!!!!" as if i was the house owner, or stick my hand through the mail slot in my door and tirck or treat like that.
2) get a friend to go with and take a big-ish cardboard box on which is written "TRICK OR TREAT" on one side. as we get to the house the friend puts the box completely over top of me and so that the "TRICK OR TREAT" side faces the door. they then ring the bell and run off to the side. when the house owner opens the doors they are faced with a cardboard box that says trick or treat, sitting there. at this point i am hoping most will not realize i am underneath, because at that point i will shuffle a little to one side, hopefully freaking out house owner.

i love halloween.
The first one sounds brilliant. The second seems kind of retarded. I wouldn't freak out if it was just a box that said "TRICK OR TREAT".
I could pull off the Joker really well, i look like that guy sorta and could cut my hair make it look exact, but I would hate to see other people dressed same as me.
I once went as Danzig (Misfits) and I ran into someone dressed as Doyle. It was awesome, we ran up to people yelling "WE ARE 138"

If I were tall and black (which I am not) I would definitely throw on that poor excuse for a diaper and duel it out with you. That is such an epic battle. <3 Bruce Lee.
I'm Philip (blue shirt) and my girlfriend is Terrance (Red shirt), also on a related note my name in real life is Terrance. Our heads had real Canadian bobble action too because we mounted the top pieces on sticks of styrofoam so they bounced around when we moved.
Me and 6 of my friends went as, prievously mentioned, the seven deadly sins. I was pride(/vanity/arrogance) and this is what it did with it. At least i was damn vain.
This gets my vote for best costume ever. This is Jax, a special needs child who was adopted by one of my friends and her partner. This photo is just a glimpse at how awesome these two mommies are.
