Halloween Costume Thread (3rd Edition)

It's that time of year again! The time when the leaves on the trees whither and die, and we celebrate all things unholy by devouring sweets and playing dress up like children!

Here is the thread to share your costume ideas, and post your pics! Whether you plan on spending hours with a sewing machine and hot glue gun, or grabbing a costume in a bag off the drug store shelf last minute, this is the place to tell us about it!

I recall I was sick on Halloween last year, and so did not dress up, but here are my awesome Danger Mouse pics from the year before!

This year I am entertaining the idea of being a moustachioed gay sailor boy.

So adorable!!!!!!

I didn't wear a costume last year... but usually my husband and I wear costumes that we made a few years ago.

Last time we wore them, I was pregnant. I barely sqeezed into the dress. LOL (As you can see in the photo)

Yes, my husband made his own chainmail. And yes, that is a real sword at his hip. This is his kind of geek.

Someday I want to make Vulcan robes. ;)

Dunno if I'm going to dress up this year or not. With six kiddos, it's more about them than us on Halloween.

Waht fun! another poster her Kommander made his own chain mail too - you'll have to track him down - unless of course the last thing you need is more chain mail in your life!

The whole family, I'm the opening titles and my wife, whose name is Leah is Princess Leia and of course the two boys.


awww! so cute!

still debating between my old standby the star trek dress and Arwen of LoTR . . .
 
Last year I was my childhood baseball hero, Will Clark. My girlfriend was a '20's flapper girl.

The year before that I was Harvey Dent/Two-Face. I won $200 in a costume contest at the bar I went to on Halloween and scared the crap out of a bunch of club-goers. :)

The boots are so awesome. Totally skanky high-heeled cowgirl boots - $5 at a thrift shop! :lol: I'm borrowing a gun to tuck into my belt, and there will of course be an excess of eye makeup under the cool sunglasses.

Last year my kids and I went to the local comics shop as DC comics characters ... my kids kicked ASS as Rorshach and the Silk Spectre from The Watchmen!

Thanks! :) I'm really glad my kids have inherited my love of costuming. My husband has never gotten into it, but the rest of us have made some amazing ones over the years!
 
No pic, but I may do what I usually do, and dress up in my old Rugby kit and raid my wife's makeup bag to enhance bruises and black eyes.. I used to wrap electrician's tape around my head like I used to do in my playing days to protect my ears, but haven't bothered the last couple of times.

I've stopped costuming up at work as I got bitten by that once a couple years ago. I showed up to work and ended up having to do an interview with a local tv station about a fire that had popped up. So imagine my scramble to remove said makeup and find a hat to cover my (purposly) touseled hair. Had to make them promise to shoot me from teh chest up so my shorts, socks and cleats didn't show up on camera. LOL
 
DoubleOh, omg! You're killing me! Those pics of you as little dude Doubleoh are adorable! LOVE the Superman one! Who were you in 2008 (i don't recognize it)?

*ok, maybe it is creepy.

In 2008 I was Dr. Tobias Funke, of Arrested Development fame.

Before you ask, yes, later on at the party I did wear the never-nude cut-offs; no, I will not be posting those pics. :)
