[Misc] Too early to think about Halloween costumes?: The Sequel

[Radiohead]

Almost 2 and a half months to go; anybody going for some fancy shit will no doubt have started planning/making/gathering bits and bobs for their costume by now. So what's everybody's plans?

After learning a lesson or two from last year, I am going for a costume that a) doesn't require a path to be cleared before doing anything, b) negates the chance that I'll get stuck in a toilet cubicle again, and c) is sturdy enough to stand up to a ned's punch.

My main-and-back-up ideas...


Yes, it is the Big Daddy. And yes, it will be easier to manouver in this thing than last year. I've already sourced/made enquiries about the necessary bits and bobs. Having a brother work for B&Q is a Godsend.

The back-up idea is piss easy to make, completely original, and requires an Action Man. And I'm keeping shtum about it for now.

You will get hunners of cunts as Michael Jackson this year. Fuckin ton on it.

But this year Halloween falls on a Saturday, so I'll be playing rugby that day. Home against Moffat. So aye, I have a few ideas swirling about the now but I won't reveal it just now.

I have no idea, hopefully something that doesn't involve me gettin my arse skelpt every two minutes this year. Was at a wedding last year, first Hallowe'en ever of not dressing up.

Trying to predict what else will be a common sight, other than Micheal Jackson and hired Scooby Doo costumes, etc...as far as films, TV and the news from this year go, I can't think of many memorable characters. Someone might have the balls/ingenuity/lack of a social life to go for the "actual transforming Transformer", and Rorshach from the Watchmen will be popular now that folk can identify him.

There'll be a fair few Josef Fritzl's, holding blue folders up to their faces. Maybe even a zombie "Charlie's Angels" or two for your sick-but-not-really-that-sick factor. Other than that, I think it'll be a fairly open selection of costumes this year.

Was thinking of going as another Mortal Kombat character. No sure though....

[Semprini]

I'll not be doing anything costume-wise, I'll be at Cannibal Corpse that night.

Just as long as I don't see another shite Joker. Could have stabbed someone last year, seriously.

I'm going as a smurf. I've said for the least 3 years im gonna do it.
Its a lame ass thing, but theres nothing like being covered in blue body paint

[the.definitive]

I'm really crap at thinking of Halloween costumes. Last year I went as a pirate wench, and everyone kept telling me my gypsy costume was good.

Dr Manhattan would be the brave person's choice.

And what better way not to tell anyone than make a thread about it?

Nah, I'm talking Aldi's or Lidl's Jokers.

I like that one, y'know, classic comic joker, old school, wae paint all over the moustache.
