Hey, does anyone have any tips for making shells? I'm considering going as Raph or Mikey, and i'll have real weapons to lug around incase any strange people try to take the kids. .

hmmm... shells?

i'd suggest starting with something like a rubbermade trashcan lid... the kind with handles so you can loop some kind of ties on it and easily wear it. ... then i'd add to the round shape with some poster board cresents taped at the tops and bottoms to make the lid (which WOULD be a perfect circle) into something more OVAL.

After that? it's papermache and paint! or papermache and then a layer of green/brown fabric stretched over your shell-shape.

good luck!


heh. a few years ago my ex-fiance wanted to be "THE FLAMING CARROT" i made him this huge carrot mask/hat with cellophane fire shooting out the top. it was a LOT of fun. he looked like this:




i dressed up like the swiss miss from the cocoa box, but added alot of army gear and went as a Militant Swiss, specifically the SWISS MISSTRESS! made a tommy gun out of a swiss miss canister and an old nerf gun... had the army boots and the black leather gloves and a bandaleer of swiss miss packets... the braids in my hair... the little swiss miss dress... the helmet...

shouted "F*** NEUTRALITY" a lot.

it was a good year.

I might go trick or treating! even though im 16 and too old to go ill go if my friends go and stuff.Last year i was michelangelo...i made my shell just by wearing a green hooded sweatshirt and i put a backpack under the shirt...it wasnt perfect but it got the idea across. I dont know what i will be this year, maybe shredder!

You know what? I'm twenty years old and I STILL love Halloween now as much as I did when I was a little girl. I think that it does not matter how old you are...just as long as you can have fun and give out lots of candy while you're at it.

On a side note:

Does anybody else on here have a parent that adores Halloween more than Christmas? I sure do...my mom's Wiccan, and you have no idea how much she gets into the spirit of things when decorating the house, heh...

Another fun but useless fact: one of my uncles was born on Halloween...an evil child, he is

You're right, you HAVEN'T seen it...

Evil? He's the GOOD guy in that movie! Brandon Lee's character (Eric Draven) and his girlfriend were pointlessly murdered on "Devil's Night", the night before Halloween. A year later he's resurrected to avenge himself and Shelly...the paint is supposed to be symbolic or something, I guess.
