The Halloween Costume Thread

**phishstx** · 10-15-2010, 12:28 PM

I wanted to be Magnum, PI but I don't think any of my fellow 20-somethings will get it. Plus I can't find a replica of the Magnum Hawaiian shirt for less than 50 bucks.

I'm going to put on blackface, put a bone through my nose, put on a loincloth and carry a spear, and tell people I'm dressed as Obama....

Get it? Get it?

Lara Croft in a wetsuit. Every girl I know does the kahki shorts and tank top, so I want to do something new with it. Plus I won't freeze my ass off in something that barely covers me, either.

step 1: borrow girlfriends pink base layer
step 2: find a graduation hat
step 3: staple or glue round pizza box cardboard onto top of graduation hat
step 4: glue table cloth onto top of pizza circle box
step 5: glue plastic dishes on top of table cloth
step 6: place hat on top of head while wearing pink base layer
step 7: act like a piece of gum stuck under the table

Gonna be the black one. That is, if i'm not lazy. I got the coat, hat and glasses. If i dont find a way to make a pointy cone face, i'll just be a secret agent/spy and carry around a briefcase with a big ? on it.

It's funny 'cause it's racist?

Tribal headhunter. About 20 of us did it at a festival this summer, I'll reuse it for Halloween. I even made up a big 4ft tall idol out of chicken wire and window and door sealer foam and painted it with that textured rock looking paint. It looked awesome. I'm not entirely sure where it ended up.

Posterboard, tape, sharpie. Make a strap to hold it around your head or something. Shouldn't be too hard to do.

we really wanted to be this, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to make the costumes, other than wearing black tights!

even checked 4em on ebay!

**wicked_sick** · 10-15-2010, 10:16 PM

That sounds like George Carlin narrating the Rainier commercial

**f2f** · 10-15-2010, 11:35 PM

that'd be me:

Glad to see that my favorite thread on TGR is back ...

when i was a kid my step brothers and i found one of those bottles next to a railroad line.

we figured it must have fallen off of a passing train.

anyway we took that thing back to the house and had a wicked rocket ship thing.

it was super thick fiberglass (wasn't damaged at all) and weighed ~50 pounds.

i wonder what ever happened to that thing?

**Franz Klammer** · 10-22-2010, 02:45 PM

I was thinking of dressing up as a witch, but to keep saying: "I'm not a witch."

I am little worried that this might be a very popular costume this year though. Thoughts?

**ectreeskier11** · 10-22-2010, 02:49 PM

you could keep mumbling something about the 1st amendment too.

**Franz Klammer** · 10-23-2010, 12:15 PM

Another idea, helmet-to-helmet hits:

Like many of you I have far too many helmets (skiing, mountain-biking, climbing,
skateboarding, full-face, ...) and I am going to strap them all over my body, possibly augment it with some shin, knee and elbow pads and my body armour.

This needs to be bumped.

**only temporary** · 10-24-2011, 04:33 AM

The hell you say!

**Slaag Master** · 10-24-2011, 10:14 AM

TRICK OR TREAT?

**The Duke of Hurl** · 10-24-2011, 12:51 PM

Excellent bump.

I'm thinking that Charlie Sheen is the obvious choice, although you'd have competition. Perhaps dueling Sheens, the most outrageous being the winner. It's hard to imagine anyone topping the original though.

Slaag, perhaps you are unaware that it is customary to wear a costume on Halloween.

A few good ones from Huffington.

"Nope, it's Chuck Testa" all you need is some stuffed animals, sunglasses and a beard.

This also looks pretty easy, if you're friends were into the royal wedding. (Somehow I missed this on the first go-round).

Somehow working the whole rapture thing in seems like it could be funny.

**Franz Klammer** · 10-24-2011, 06:29 PM

My favourite thread on TGR!!! And this time, I didn't even have to bump it.

I have something rather unimaginative this time, but my long blonde hair and short blonde beard combo was just too perfect not to be used for a Thor costume.
