HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
ahhhhh, halloween is coming. does anyone know where i can get an april o'niel halloween costume or sewing pattern?

Some of us have dressed up as April O'Neil :D

What I did was run to the local 2nd hand clothing store and buy a yellow jumpsuit and a pair of white boots. Then I found a white belt at another store and the TMNT logo patch at a Hot Topics. That's all you really need!

Now... should I wear my Krang costume to work on Halloween or not.... :evilgrin:

I was Casey Jones one year.

Buying the jumpsuit is a good idea, but my girlfriend likes to make everyhting thats like most of the fun for her... she just wanted to know if anyone had a pattern thans though :-P

There's no halloween in Finland...

no halloween? how terrible!!

No free candy Karpo? Man you had a sad childhood every Oct 31st! :)

Well we have same kind of thing a week before easter. Thats when we go beg for candy...

So there's not like here in Sweden then? Where kids the last couple of years started celebrating "Halloween" (as in "the american holiday where you decorrate with pumpkins" instead of "the swedish holiday where you put candles on your loved ones graves"...)

Some years ago when I was home alone, two kids came to my door and tricked or treated. It was just luck that I had some candy at home, but I was thiiis close to say "Er... Trick?" and close the door....

Hehe no we dont celebrate that day at all i think...

The only thing I like about Halloween is going to the haunted houses. :D

Haunted houses are cool but there's none in my area which pisses me off. All I can do is get 10 pounds of candy mwhahaha. And one more thing... my b-day is exactly 2 weeks before Halloween... DON'T FORGET OR FACE MY WRAITH hehe.

When I was younger, there used to be decorated haunted houses all over town. But it seems that as I got older, so did the rest of the town. I feel sorry for the kids now; hardly anyone does anything for Halloween anymore, let alone create a haunted house. Most folks don't even leave their lights on so kids can trick-or-treat. :(

Halloween is my favorite holiday next to Christmas, and it's sad that today's kids can't experience what I did when I was younger.

Shredder: "You undid their mutations!"
Krang: "Not quite. It's merely an illusion."
Rocksteady: "Yuck, I look awful!"
Bebop: "Hey, no fair! I was just starting to get used to being a warthog!"

~Golly, I dunno....I think Halloween is getting bigger every year-- at least where I am, here in the CA foothills. I was in KMart yesterday and they had SO much cool stuff, but the interesting thing was that the adults costume section was as large, if not larger than the kids!
I love Haloween- for a lot of reasons, but even when I was a kid, I liked it better than Christmas.

hmm... i seem to have lost my halloween spirit. i stopped going trick or treating ages ago but i sitll go out watching my little sister trick or treat. i'd feel very guilty if i went trick or treating my age because

a) i'm not greedy for candy/treats (i'm not saying that u people are) and
b) it's a kid's holiday. let the kids get the candy.

~Yeah-- that does make it harder when the community isn't into it. At my daughter's school there's a big Halloween party, and there are at least three cornfield mazes, a bunch of pumpkin patches, aound here. Plus the local radio station has a huge "Fright Night" -- actually two-- each year. One for kids with the usual face painting, games and haunted house stuff, and then one for adults with bands and food and drinks.

We don't really celebrate Halloween in England either. No free candy :( It is just and excuse for the yobs to come out and egg your house, break your windows or do something to your car. Which kinda spoils it for the little kiddies

I dress up as Michelangelo For halloween last year. Sewed my whole costume by hand. I was so proud of myself. I sent a picture of it into the Ninja Turtles Art Contest and they put it in! That rocked!

check it out...

Its not the best picture. Plus I'm like 2 and a half feet taller than what a Ninja Turtle would be! :D But yeah, I agree, Halloween is the best holiday (not really a holiday next to Christmas![/img]

Boy, I wish the people in my hometown still had some of the enthusiasm you people have. It just kind of seems that people forget about Halloween every year where I'm from because the number of trick-or-treaters goes down every year.

Trust me on that one. We keep tabs of how many kids come by. We used to get almost a hundred kids to stop by in years' past. This past year, my parents told me there was barely over thirty kids. That is sad. :(

hahaha that Turtle costume kicks ass. We could dress up and battle each other :) My gwad we're such geeks :goofygri:

Lemme see if I can find a pic of us dressed up w/ Mr. Eastman....

I remember being Michaelangelo one Halloween, and the costume and mask came with a pair of toy nunchukus. I would stand in front of my mirror and try and do that nunchuk-thing Mikey does in the first TMNT movie when he and that Foot Soldier are having a nunchukus contest. :tsmile:

Of course, I tried this so much that I eventually wore out my nunchukus. They were made of plastic, and if I swung them too hard, one end of the nunchukus would break off and fly clear across the room. :D

Ah, yes, those were the days . . . :)

"Very funny. Turn the lights out on a guy wearing a blindfold. I'm laughing so hard I could bust a gut." - Michaelangelo, from "Michaelangelo Meets Bugman"

those tmnt costumes kick a**!! especially the krang one!

Heh heh... I'm proud to be a TMNT geek!! Hey, I still have my old Michealangelo costume. I saved it after dressing up as him two years in a row many Halloweens ago. I'll battle ya, if I can still fit into the costume, that is... :lol:

Or wait! Maybe NTC Fan, heintzvelvet, and myself can be triplets! :anime:

Hey, I'd be up for taking it to the streets in my Michaelangelo costume and orange plastic nunchukus with you, Azure. Granted, I'd have to figure out how to do Mikey's voice again so that I can do this all proper and everything. And I think I should have a fresh-baked pizza in hand. I can just give a slice away at every house I visit. :)

And if people ask me to do a trick, I'll try that nunchuk-move from the movie. I only hope one of the chucks doesn't break off and hit somebody! :o

"Cowabunga, dudes! I found a surfboard!" - Michaelangelo, from "The Power of Three"

It probably sounds scary to you GUYS, but i figured out how to do Mike's voice. I talk to my niece over the phone, and she thinks its really Mike from the cartoons...It has a bit of a feminine touch to it, but its pretty darn close... :goofygri:

LOL!! I like your idea, NTC Fan! I have a pair of plastic 'chucks too, but I'd probably end up hurting myself. :goofygri: I could never do his voice or any of the other turtles' voices. I'm not very good at impressions...

*stares at Machias in awe*
Woah!! Maybe you should record yourself and let us hear your impression. ;)

Yeah, really. Turn it into a WAVE file or something and post it on here. People are always good for a laugh . . . :lol:

Now if anyone knows how to do Krang's voice, then I would be impressed. His voice is kind of tricky. :roll:

"Oh, I hate being wrong." - Shredder, from "The Adventures of Rhino-Man"

I dunno, it always sounds different to you than to other people....

I kinda can do his weird gurgle, but it sounds more like a turkey... :goofygri:

halloweeen
 

my stupid question: What date is halloween..?? I kinda forgot...

:lol: It's October 31. *sai* I wish I had an old TMNT costume... Maybe next year they'll produce some new ones to go with the new cartoon and movie. I hope. I thought about dressing up this year, but I'm too darn fat to go as my own character... or pretty much any other. :( Oh, well...

I'd love to dress up for Halloween, but I don't have much time because of college nowadays... :(

cherube u gonna go as vernon?

OOoohhh! I love the costumes!

It looks like I won't be getting my Shredder costume this year. The guy who was supposed to be making it dissappeared off of the face of the earth for a while. I suppose I could always wrangle together an April costume. I've already got the red hair!

Aww... no lady Shredder this year. :(

I have been tempted to dress up as Cartoon April for a con or something too, especially when my hair was the same length as hers. Unfortuantely.. I don't want to go around in that yellow jumpsuit. Bleh. :lol:

~GW ...<snicker>

LOL!! Heh heh... That's a cool Leo costume. :anime:

Oy HT, I say you should dress up as April! You'll only have to wear the yellow jumpsuit for a day. ;)

heh.. yeah... except, I really don't know where to find the right kind of jumpsuit at a bargain price. Need to get a hair cut too. Nyarly split ends. :P

Grrr...I hate split ends! Any time I've got a good pair of scissors and are looking for them...they're not there! Then when I'm not looking for them, and I've no way to chop them off...there they are!!!

:lol: Same goes to forgetting to bring a hair clip or scrunchie to work, when it also happens to be a bad hair day. Evil frizz!

I have dirty blonde hair that reaches about my waist...Thick and ready to frizz at a moments notice! Drives me nuts sometimes, but if i cut, I'd look literally like a golden Kooshball...
