Halloween Costume ideas?

*Krutch* · 10-21-2014, 12:38 PM

Anyone going as something different and unique for Halloween?

I'm going to a few parties and my creative thinking has run dry. Pretty sure I'm going to print a giant 6 foot board of Vigo the Carpathean and cut the face out and wear it while my buddy goes as Janosz.

A bit afraid nobody's gonna get it though

Sadly, I don't think I can afford anything for Halloween this year. I try not to think about it because I try not to miss a single Halloween.

That said, I just wanted something simple this year, like a werewolf. But if I was tall enough, I'd want to try Slenderman, myself. Nothing too interesting.

Aw, you don't need a fancy expensive costume, Netkeeper.. you just need a lil creativity.

I'm seriously thinking of going to work as contemporary Medusa this year. A few toy snakes from the local dollar store, a white peasant top, and a lil makeup around the eyes... can't wait.

Well I was originally thinking of a chesire cat/Luka Megurine type costume, but it would've been too pricey. Instead I am going to be like Eun Ju from White: Melody of a Curse.

I have a few costumes I've made this year so I just gotta figure out which I want to do. I'll probably wear my Hawlucha pokemon costume because its warm and adorable.

Big thing is trying to figure out an inexpensive group costume for me, my wife, and Trey. Debated Shaggy, Velma, and Scooby....or...Casey, April, and some Turtle....*shrugs*

Oh yeah, for sure. I'm just one of those people that goes all out with the Halloween costumes. I usually have them planned at least a month or two in advance.

I've been so busy finding clothes to wear for my UK trip, that I've completely forgotten about Halloween costumes. I might have to revisit my Elven Adventurer costume, but maybe with less armor and weapons

I was Rene Montoya/The Question this year. I recycled one of my Con Cosplay costumes. Which admittedly was mostly from my own already existing wardrobe, and a mask that I cobbled together.

So if we wanna share our halloween looks do we still do it in the pictures thread, or...?

*shuriken* · 11-04-2014, 02:26 PM

^^Just do it here.

It took me years and a buttload of money to get all the clothes I needed for my Marty McFly costume! Now if I could just lose some weight I'd actually look the part.

Really? All you really need is the jean jacket and "life preserver" vest, right? I guess it depends on which movie's look you're going for.

Well, I started with those two, but then I decided to purchase the rainbow hat from 2015 on eBay. I know that's Marty Jr.'s getup, but I wanted to get it. Also, Marty wears a white button down shirt, and I found a really good one a few months back.

I just pieced random accessories from different handmade costumes and went as a zombie jester for a costume contest at my college. Didn't win but an art instructor wanted me to come into his art class and let the students draw me while I stood and switched poses for them. So I had fun being a temporary model for a drawing class.

That's pretty cool. I'd love to see some photos!!!

Most of the images are on my phone and they really suck. Which is why I might recreate the image again since I still have the costume and shoot it from an actual camera supported on a tripod versus taking another crappy half a**ed picture from my phone again. Cameras are IMO way better at taking photos than phones. :p
