I’m a going as a social butterfly. I got a cute rainbow monarch wing cape thing at the renfair and I am going to print social media logos and tape them to a shirt. It’s cheap, cute, and funny lol.
I’ll either be asleep or at work so: Disgruntled wage slave.
I’m filled with dread just thinking about it.
You’ve got the sidekicks too, right? That costume only works if you’ve got the two other people.
I absolutely do. And we plan on entering every room with a dance and a song.
I have had a David S. Pumpkins suit since just after it aired and I wear it every year.
I have been catcalled twice by other men wearing it. They were very aggressive.
I am also in a stock photo of a business meeting where I am wearing the suit and there are about 30 people wearing normal clothing because I went to a conference on 10/30 where they encouraged costumes, showed up an hour late and had to sit in the front row. The picture is taken of me sitting there hungover and looking tired and everyone else smiling.
It’s the most flammable suit I own.
No regrets.Man, I’ve got a lot of questions…
Red cap, grey Music Band T shirt, red hoodie, skateboard. Bam: Sexy Steve Buscemi.
I’ve been working on my costume for about two months now, and it’s about 2/3rds done. I haven’t quantified total expenditures yet but I’d estimate it’s over $700 in materials and supplies.
Yes, it’s a fursuit (bird suit partial).
Where I’m from we don’t celebrate Halloween. They (retailers) tried really hard, but it was not a thing. So now the shops are already full of X-Mas things…
But I went to a con as Logan from X-Man last week, if that counts as dress up.
Turd Ferguson. Again.
Those big foam hats aren’t cheap, you need at least 4 appearances.
Nah, that’s uh…. not my name.
No because I’m not American.
UK here and Halloween is in a weird place. Its shoved down your throat really hard by every retailer. Adverts on TV, radio, pumpkins everywhere, SPOOKTOBER DEALS and such.
But, like, nobody cares? For the party animals its an excuse to dress slutty and get pissed up, and its an excuse for kids to dress up and walk around at dark, but everyone just seems to be going along with it because everyone seems to be going along with it.
I wish we could either have it be a bigger deal than it is so everyone cares, like Xmas (inb4 calling me secularist - piss off) or nobody cares and we can just stop.
As it currently is its just awkward.
I’m in Switzerland and it is indeed a weird place. Supermarket will sell Halloween themed candy and stuff but really most people don’t care. It’s actually funny how you can tell where the Americans live this time of the year, because only a few houses will have Halloween decorations up.
And I guess there will be Halloween themed parties where people wear costumes as well, but it’s certainly not a mainstream event and more like marketing gimmick.
I mean, it’s not Turnip Day, right?
No, that’s usually at the start of November.
I will be at home that evening in my tracksuit bottoms and hoodie.
Need to think of something for my kid though.
You sound like fun.
I am rapidly learning that cosplay is a lot harder than it looks…
Cosplay can be crazy. I’m a fan of dollar store cosplays and do like every cosplay of mine for so cheap on purpose because there’s a lovely charm to it lol
Amish. I have a big beard and moustache, but I’m having nasal surgery on the 5th of November, and I have to shave the 'stache, so why not use it for Halloween?
Roadkill! Working mostly with faux-fur and blood and part of a licence plate sticking out or the mess.
I’ll be going as a tired old fart watching TV and handing out candy.
Same costume I wear every year.
Some costume I wear every night, except for the candy.
No. I’m an adult.
It’s an Americanism that only children partake in where I live (Australia). It’s fine, and I’m not such a miserable cunt that I would stop my kids going out (with me) to go trick or treating but it’s not something adults join in with.
It makes more sense as a harvest festival with pumpkins, sure, but it’s not pumpkin season in the southern hemisphere
If I leave the house, I’ve been basically dressing as a witch for years at this point. Somewhere in my closet is a witch hate and a no longer scented cinnamon broom. Think my crafted potion bottle necklace is somewhere.
All my costume requires is me to find the miscellaneous things, some dark clothes, and boots. I never plan to do anything but sometimes I get invited. And some of those times I even show up.
Last Halloween I went to a karaoke night dressed as The Mask and learned the hard way that using oil-based face paints without a setting powder or spray is a bad idea because that doesn’t dry. Won’t be repeating the same mistake this year.
This year? I’m actually going to another city to celebrate my friend’s birthday, but I plan to go to a karaoke night the day before dressed as Danhausen.
I don’t do Halloween. I don’t like dressing up as anything other than me, and I don’t feel like anyone would be very impressed.
