Halloween!!!

So, what are you doing for Halloween? If you are dressing up (other than your everyday attire), what will you be?

Halloween is my favorite holiday. <3
I'm throwing a "Halloween Bash & Scary Move Marathon Night".
I haven't figured out my costume yet. Any ideas?
I'm a 24-year-old female. Nothing too slutty plz.

My friends and I are going as colors. Were dying our hair and wearing crazy outfts then going out to the Castro (in San Francisco) and having a night of debauchery

Usually I pick a news topic and dress as the most offensive thing I can find - keeps people on their toes. This year I'll be at a Masquerade ball - in Prague, so chances are slim of me wearing anything other than traditional Masquerade wear. But I'll be in Prague, so who cares?! :-D

honeythorn · 09-17-2007, 11:23 AM

Oh! How unfair

I have ALWAYS wanted to attend a masqerade ball :/ It's watching Labyrinth too much that did it

I don't do anything on the social side for Halloween . I just have to stay at home and discourage trick or treaters from knocking the door. Bear in mind these trick or treaters are invariably 13 year old ( and even older ) chavs who's idea of scary costume is to get a shitty cheap frankenstein mask from the pound shop, and wear their usual tracksuit and rockports combo, plus the obligatory cap. I plan to open the door with major weaponry in hand this year

I'm not sure what I'm doing this year. Celebrating obviously as it'll be my 3rd wedding anniversary, prob just have a filthy night in

We've only ever had trick or treaters once, so I'm hoping they'll steer clear again this year, if not the dog will happily see them off.

HALLOWEEN!!!! (Spins around in a circle) I love Halloween to the Nth degree! I'm making my costume this year, but I'm just coping the scary-expensive Ren. Fest dresses, so it's not very creative...but still!

Halloween is candy apples and Jack-o-Lanterns and fun movies and bats and costumes and scary things, and happiness! (Spins again) I can't wait!

(Humming Halloween songs)

Breathless Horror · 09-17-2007, 01:05 PM

Me and my friends are planning as dressing up as muppets. Specifically the ones from the "Mahna Mahna" song. I'm going to be one of the creepy pink things! :P

ForgetThisLostLenore · 09-17-2007, 02:49 PM

Me and my friends are going as characters in Alice in Wonderland

MissGracie · 09-17-2007, 03:15 PM

.:sighs:.

Oh dear Hallow's Eve, how I love thee...

For Trick or Treating and the school dance I'm going as a ladybug. But since Halloween is falling on a Wednesday this year, I'm going to school as Morticia

We have the same hair .:beams proudly at everyone:.

Okay, okay. Mine happens to be brown...

Nevertheless, I am hoping to do something more exciting this year, but seeing as I am only 16, living in Vermont, and lacking in means of transportation, I don't see this happening .: pouts:.

My ladybug costume consists of a bright, red dress my grandmother got me for dress up

wings and antenna (like the cheapy ones the little kids get, lol) my platform boots, black tights, and long velvet gloves. I'm going to make my Morticia dress

and dye my hair temporarily black. Maybe if I really like it I'll keep it that way.

ForgetThisLostLenore · 09-17-2007, 03:53 PM

I'd love to be Morticia, but I'd have to get a wig, and oh, how I hate wearing wigs. Also, so many people are Addams family members. But my hair is blonde, so I automatically got Alice. I was going to be a corpse bride if I had enough money.

Memento Mori · 09-17-2007, 04:07 PM

Halloween is also my favorite holiday.
I think I'm going to dress as a Mundane.

You should be a dark fairy who just crawled out of her grave.

Ishkabibble · 09-17-2007, 04:48 PM

I really have no idea if I might even dress up for this Halloween. The only store that sold costumes closed down over here. And I don't think I'm allowed to order from the internet again.
Sooo.. I think I'll just have to use last year's costume. Weird as it may sound, I dressed up as candy corn with some friends. Well, it that or making my own costume. Though I lack of experience with needles and thread.

ForgetThisLostLenore · 09-17-2007, 04:51 PM

I get to dress up if i have a party, or somewhere to go. And luckily I found reasons every year since that rule. But Halloween has always been my favorite holiday.

Graveyard.Crow · 09-17-2007, 05:22 PM

I'm either a nurse of a cheerleader
all pink and hopefully a blond wig if I can borrow one from a friend
Now THAT'S scary

HumanePain · 09-17-2007, 05:48 PM

I spent over $100 last year for my Dracula outfit, then got sent to a customer site in Hartford Connecticut to troubleshoot software at the last minute! ARGH! So THIS year I am wearing my outfit! To work! I will definitely upload pictures!

kwaniesiam · 09-17-2007, 05:53 PM

I take full advantage all month long to overdress given the circumstance

I'm going as Mary Magdelene (I get called that from the long red hair a lot...), and my friend is going as Jesus. Kind of silly since I'm pagan.

Graveyard.Crow · 09-17-2007, 05:56 PM

Shit
That's a better Idea
I'm pagan too
I SHOULD BE VIRGIN MARY
and have a sign that says "I'm virgin mary, that's my story and I'm sticking to it" ONLY I would get kicked out of school. Also it could be a little mean and taken the wrong way.

Maybe you could rewrite the sign "I'm a married virgin!"
You know, promoting abstinence and all that? They can't disapprove of THAT now can they?

Graveyard.Crow · 09-17-2007, 05:59 PM

I honestly wouldn't mean it to be cruel fun, I'm not a Christian hating pagan.

Oh man but I was really looking forward to the Family Guy reference.

Underwater Ophelia · 09-17-2007, 06:20 PM

My beau and I might go as Marilyn Monroe and JFK.

ForgetThisLostLenore · 09-17-2007, 06:54 PM

I have to knock my boyfriend out and drag him along the sidewalk to get him to participate in any Halloween activities.

d.Nox · 09-17-2007, 07:17 PM

I don't have anywhere to go, but I will dress up anyway! ...In a pinstripe suit with my new gasmask. Because when else am I going to wear it?

MollyMac · 09-17-2007, 07:28 PM

I am going to chill at home with my hubby, watch slasher flicks and let the neighbor kids make out like bandits from our candy stash. We only get maybe 4 trick-or-treaters a year. Total bummer. I understand though, it just sucks that kids can't even enjoy this day pf sugary quasi-historic bliss.

For Samhain, my girls and I are getting together for a meditative fire ritual

I'm not sure what I'm doing for Samhain, if anything. I might light a bonfire or something.....
