2009 Halloween Costume Thread

Pick up where we left off.



This is who I am going to be this year. I will post photos when the right time comes.

 

Good idea.

I'm still completely undecided on who I'll be, it's annoying me because I want to be cool, funny and warm all at the same time.

Is it too late to be Austin Powers?

 

Im thinking an umbrella and some duct tape or aluminum foil.

Any tips?

 

Fuck yes. Just got back home, and was gonna pull out the defibrillator for this thread.

Some ideas I've had:
-Blues Brothers. Pros--one of the most underrated costumes you can do. Simple, cheap, and impossible to not love. Cons--if none of your friends are into the idea and you go as a Blues Brother, you look retarded.
-Hippie. Pros--probably would pay for itself in people willing to smoke me up. Cons--Nobody likes hippies. Even pretend hippies.
-Priest with little boy attached. Pros--Just plain awesome. Cons--Can't seem to find it anywhere. And it's probably expensive.
-Kevin Federline. Pros--Easy to pull off (don't shave for a week, throw on a wife-beater and jeans, rap poorly), girlfriend is going as Britney Spears. Cons--Can't really think of any.

Also, I mentioned this on the old thread, but last year one of my friends went as Facebook. I can't for obvious reasons, but if any of you want to steal a kick-ass, under $10 idea, go right ahead.

 

Still need to buy the dye and a rediculous suit, but Don Cherry

 

I actually bought one of these, and a security tee shirt to go with it, for my buddy and his wife's annual "Halloween Sexy Bash". What's sexy about a Dharma jumpsuit, you ask? The pockets are fake. There's an opening there, but it goes straight to dick.

 

I've wanted to go as a kid for a couple years now, and I think this might be the year. Note the pink skull and crossbones. I think it's a winner. (Not me in the picture.)

 

I remember on the RMMB someone saying to make light of women's sexy costumes they were going to go as a sexy Mr. Ed.

I'd love to do a sexy Doogie Howser, but I live in Wales and I'm 21, so the only people who actually know who Doogie Howser is limited to me and the people I've explained the program to.

Instead I bought a Ghostbusters costume:

 

I dunno how many other high schools had this, but my date and I did this for Sadie Hawkins Dance (girls ask the guys) my senior year. It was complete with a du-rag, fake tattoos, and a baby doll. The doll makes the costume- make sure you have it.

 

Suit and ski mask, I'm going as a corporate criminal.

 

DOH!

 

I went as Jesus to a party last weekend. Not so original, I know, but everyone loved it. I had a bottle of wine I labeled "WATER" and turned water to wine all night.

 

I'm not going to shave for two weeks, wear my leather motorcycle jacket, a pair of jeans and carry a cane and be Dr. House.

My daughter is going to be a vampire, my son is going to be a ghost (my wife is making both costumes), and I'm trying to convince my wife to get a "I Dream of Jeanie" outfit.

And if you look in my avatar, you can see Mayhem is thrilled to be Batdog again.

 

I've got my Green Man suit already, and couldn't be more excited.

If you're stuck for a costume, two relatively easy options would be Alan from The Hangover or Kenny Powers.

For Alan, all you need is a beard, baby carrier and a doll.

For Kenny Powers, you just need a mullet wig, goatee and either:
a) Baseball uniform
or
b) Black jeans, Black button-up shirt, cowboy boots (snake skin preferably), and a belt buckle.

Bonus with these two ideas is that getting drunk and acting like, depending on which way you go, an idiot or a complete asshole just complete the costumes.

 

I was talking costume ideas with this guy I know yesterday. He said last year his buddy dressed in his normal clothes. When someone would ask what his costume was supposed to be, he would say "child molester".

I'm going as Waldo.

Also, this Ted Williams costume that Deadspin linked to today is amazing.

 

Stay at home dad. I'm recycling this from my last year at college. I haven't been able to come up with anything else.

 

I also plan to go with the Dr. House idea; it seems simple and recognizable. My only question is how to get some temporary gray in my facial hair. I don't really like the idea of using the spray-type hair color as it would probably end up in my mouth eventually. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

I had planned to be Tomb Raider but the accurate costume route would cost me over $300. (Hair, replica guns, etc.) As this costume is supposed to be reused for fetish reasons, I won't go cheap.

So I think I'm going as Fox from Wanted. Markopelon's brother is a tattoo artist and offered to henna me up for grins. Yes, I clearly have a thing for Angelina. If I can pull her off, why not?
