Coolest costume ever: The Invisible Man (er.. woman?). Seriously, it was teh awesomest!! Ever see the really old movie where the Invisible Man wears a trenchcoat and covers his face in bandages so people can see him? Yeah. Gloves, hat, sunglasses (it was really dark, so that probably wasn't the best of ideas) trench... Nobody could tell who the heck I was, and because I didn't talk and I wore a loose trenchcoat, nobody could even tell if I was male or female. It freaked a lot of people out. Great costume for parties.

*sigh* Good times... good times.

In the past I've dressed up as Link, Bomberman, a Resident Evil zombie (creative!), and Black Belt. This year? The Thnikkaman (from Homestar). Next year, probably a headcrab zombie.

ahhhh, halloween. i remember the times when i went as Scream i think around 4 times in a row. by the 4th time, whenever someone saw a Scream costume, they would know it was me.

personally, i feel like im too old to actually go trick or treating. for one, i got braces, and i dont really feel like eating all of the candy i get. two, i dont feel like going around to all of the houses. though, if i were to go trick or treating, i think i would finally give into the "Go as yourself" joke. ive always wanted to try that, and see what people would say..

either that or use my dad's huge frankenstein mask. either way works.

A few of my friends and I plan to dress as pirates and go trick or treating on the girls floors of my dorm. It should be fun.

I do miss halloween at home, though; Phil and I always had the scariest house in town. Small children and adults alike would quake in fear at our decorations, and we'd patrol the yard as whatever hellspawn our twisted minds could come up with/afford to scare those who were brave enough to come near the porch. When we could get a friend to help, we'd have a skeleton that dropped out of a tree as the coup de grace of fear.

Needless to say, Phil and I didn't need to go trick or treating to get candy...

Ah Halloween. The super commercialized overhyped holiday with no deep moral meaning whatsoever from the original day left behind. In other words, lets sell a bunch of scary crap to the consumer then put the Christmas stuff up next day so we make more money.

Originally, I was planning to do something from Final Fantasy, but I suddenly had the urge to dress up as Leo from VG Cats, from the scene with the Rat Flail...so I'll probably try doing that for Halloween. ^^

Take some K'Nex and make 'em into a Master Sword-esque shape. Then cover the "blade" with Tinfoil, and the "hilt" with construction paper or whatever you feel like using for it. When I still went trick or treating, I made a sword and shield with this method, and it worked very nicely.

Or you could just make a real one of your own.

I just now (during lunch) thought of an even better costume than my last idea. I would need some help on this one, though. I dress up as a zombie (torn clothes, with lots of ketchup on them), and hide near in the woods near the road. I get myfriend to walk with a group of neighborhood kids, and carry some ketchup packets, to use as fake blood. When my friend gets near, I sneak out into the middle of the sidewalk and lay down. When my fried gets near, he acts like anyone would when finding someone laying facedown in the side walk. I then get up and start lurching towards him as he asks if I'm alright. I knock him down and "bite" him on the neck, while squirting ketchup onto his neck. He pushes me off and limps over to thell the kids to run, while I come up behind him, knock him over from behind, and start "biting" him again. I then get up and start towards the kids, with "blood" dripping out of my mouth. Any kids who haven't run away screaming by the time I get to them get a king-size candy bar.

It's seen as a really newbish mistake to don a costume that inhibits your ability to drink a beer. My first halloween party in college (a year ago), I caught a lot of smirks because I was wearing a mask, so I had to lift it every time I wanted to drink. Can you say party foul?
