The Halloween Costume Thread

[The Reverend Floater]

So we're approaching my favorite holiday of the year, Halloween. A wonderful day where you can pretend you're something you're not, act like a complete ass and get away with it because you're *not you*. This year, however, I'm drawing a blank. I'm the guy who's reknowned for his excellent costumes year after year. But this year I'm drawing a complete blank as to my creative direction. I need your help so I thought we'd start a halloween costume thread. My years past costumes:

4 years ago: CHiPs...I was Ponch and my taller friend was John. We did it up, down to the blue helmets, aviators and handcuffs. I was propositioned by many a cougar that night as apparently it's a generation-wide fantasy to get used by Poncharelli.

3 years ago: A walking penis. I wrapped myself in eggcrate bedding with the smooth side out, creating a flesh colored "shaft" which my lady friend added a few veins via spraypaint. I then had a "helmet" on my head which was perfectly shaped. Add some white long fundies on the arms and legs and you're stylin'. People still talk about the dancing penis at the bar that night.

2 years ago: Steve Prefontaine With really, really short, green U of O shorts on and a U of O tank top, I added a fake mustache and long wig with headband. Combine this with some vintage Nikes and I was looking good.

Last year: Ace from the Ambiguosly Gay Duo. Probably my finest work as my friend and I replicated that AGD uniforms to a T, dying tshirts and adding "utility belts" that featured K-Y, rubbers and Astroglide. A huge hit and ironically, the ladies loved it.

I need more ideas!

two years ago APK and i were mav and goose. i grew a stash. it worked out well to have a flight suit on due to the jello shots and the resulting circumstances.

that same year two of my buddies were Gorilla scientists, Dr. Ed Splosion and i forget the other name, who worked for a company called gorillagenics. they had my 260 pund friend in the gorrila suit with a hospital gown on. They made up really pro looking I.d badges and had lots of gorilla charts and other info on clipboards. They never broke character all night.

That party was really good, and the winners were two guys who showed up with no costumes [typical east village slackers i thought, but no]. As the party really got flowing and people really started getting crazy on the dance floor The DJ cut the record, and in his best announcer voice, introduced the two guys in full on WWF werstling style. each guy had theme music which the DJ played. They had a ref and everything, and then had a full on blood drawing wrestling match on the dance floor/ everyone was really into it.

so if you want to win the party i'd say have a wrestling match in the middle of it.

Last year, I went to a duct tape themed party and dressed up as a bioterrorism victim. I made a suit out of plastic sheeting and duct tape (remember when the Department of Homeland Insecurity reccomended that everyone stock up on duct tape and plastic sheeting?). I really should have put on some make-up and bloody clothing and gone for the whole zombie thing, but I was too lazy.

Something political might be a good idea. Going as Bush is too easy, but there's lots of other stuff to make fun of this year.

3 years ago i made a tin man costume out of the carboard from empty 30-racks. it made no sense to anyone but they all thought it was cool that i was wearing 30-rack cartons.

last year i went as Duffman. did the whole cape/blue and red getup/duff logo (written in sharpie on paper taped to my chest), but the key was discovering that the gear loops of my alpine bod harness very securely held cans of miller high life, as did the leg loops, so i put the red shorts on over the harness, just had the beer can belt showing, plus 2 enormous beer can shaped testicles visible through the shorts (duffman is THRUSTING!). filled a garbage bag with beers, filled up the harness, and i was good to go. i like to get drunk and talk in funny voices and feed people alcohol, so it worked for me.

this year i'm thinking ron burgundy, shave the beard but leave the 'stache, let the hair get a little long so i can jazz it all up. i need someone to be brick tamland though, and i need to figure out what kind of booze i can carry around all night and dispense to people and demand they drink it in some funny voice.

how about 'i love scotch, scotchy scotch scotch, you need some scotch too my little friend!'

uh oh. i wish i hadn't had that idea. fuck. monday nov 1 is going to be a hurty day. shiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeit.

[FreakofSnow]

Last year Fletch, with huge afro, Lakers jersey and bball

2 years ago Muthafukking pimp, gold chains, tight digs, gold tooth and a pimp ass cane

3 years agoAnthrax ridden US Mailman. I found 2 US Post Office uni's at the Salv Army. I wore one of them, took the patch off the other and glued on to a hat. Then I made a letter carrying bag and made a bunch of fake letters. They were addressed to middle easterners. My pouch was filled with flower. I handed out letters all night! Some people thought it was funny others were horrified.

[Brick Tamland]

i need someone to be brick tamland though

i love rug

[MacDaddy]

I bought a cup, not no ordinary cup, it aint no dixie cup...

so I'm thinking I'm gonna take that cup and jock and be real horrorshow like

"No time for the old in-out, love. I've just come to read the meter"

I went with the Mammogram test box on my head last year. I saw the idea in last years thread. I was busy all night giving exams. Amazing. Women just walk right up... If I had a camera rigged up inside the box I could have had some funny shots.. Certainly something to consider.

Most tasteless idea I've heard planned this year:

This:


Plus this:

[yogachik]

I go as the same thing every year and it's always a big hit - a Brownie - complete with troop patches and beanie and girl scout cookies and knee socks...

I think it would be a very funny costume for a guy - and teenage girls are so big nowadays that you could find a uniform in a size that would fit.

[cololi]

This year we are going to a "family friendly" party with the kids. The kids are going as thing 1 and thing 2, parents are going as other doc seuss characters. Otherwise, I like the girls gone wild film crew idea.

[homerjay]

My roommate and I were Crockett and Tubbs a few years ago. Hearing someone at the bar say "man, we just lost to Crockett and Tubbs in pool" was hilarious. Renting a ferrarri was considered, but a terrible idea.

[snowfire]

I am going as a booger. A big green one.

[Spamhelmet]

Well...
Osama is hot every year.

[The Dork]

i'm going as jessica beal from Flashdance, little leotard with black tights, black leg warmers, pointy toe high heels, and a big grey sweatshirt that hangs off my shoulder. And i'm going to make my hair all big like hers. i'll be boozing the night away in portland in a leotard, ahhh yeah!

I went as the one armed drummer from def leppard a number of years ago. I also think teen wolf would be pretty cool. All you'd have to do is get a werewolf costume and wear a basketball uniform over it. I was thinking of that, but then I decided on flashdance because the leotard ups my chances of a halloween makeout. I have an obsession with the 80's so I tend to pick costumes from that era. gearge michel from the faith video would be cool. You could hang out and shake your ass holding a guitar all night.

[The Dork]

oh I also went as a can of schmidt beer one year.

You could be a mammogram machine and have the 2 holes where the women put in their boobs.

Last Year:
Uday Hussein (Postmortem) -- My roommate went as Qusay. We did ourselves up good, bullet holes, scars, and anti-American slogans, etc. trying to duplicate Qusay's blown-up skull was way gross.

2002:
Mammogram Machine -- Aldo ain't kidding. We threw a party at my house in college and it was a huge (heh) hit with the coeds.

2001:
Pimp -- Typical pimp get-up, plus I walked around the party hookin' the wimmins up with kisses (real & chocolate) and condoms for all.

nice costume i saw last year- some dude copied the costume of the karate kid. he took a frame backpack, extended the frame and then rigged stuff so that there was a shower curtain suspended around him. the shower curtain was large enough that another person could get up close to him and pull the curtains shut...

the clutch part is having the numbered jersey on underneath... authenticity.

[Tippster]

A friend of mine years ago in Vail went as "Yellow Ducktape Man." He had gone out and bought those "Lifestyles" colored glasses that matched the yellow tape, then dyed his hair the same color. When it was time to don his costume he put on some cheap longjohns and we then wrapped his arms, legs, and torso in yellow ducktape all the way to his neck. He was a tall, skinny fucker, too. Acted like some weird superhero/supervillain all night.

The next year he went as "Red Ducktape Man," "Yellow Ducktape Man's" arch-nemesis.

One year when I DJ'ed a Halloween party the guy who won went as a rock. He'd cut out pieces of cardboard & foam rubber, spray painted them a striated gray, and strategically attached them to his body so that if he crouched on the ground - he looked like a fucking rock. No Shit. People kept sitting on him inadvertently and he'd move, scaring the shit outta them.

My wife's idea for me last year was to go as Roy (the white vegas tiger dude) with a stuffed tiger attached to my neck and some fake blood running down. Would've been great but I didn't have enough time to get it all together.
