So post your Halloween costume ideas. This is my favorite holiday and an excuse to bust out my pirate motif is welcomed. Yet, this year I may mix things up.

So far my options are:

Pirate again (yarr this time with fake guns and real swords)
Joel Barrish (From Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind, gf is doing Clementine so its a
couple costume)

OR...

Black Jesus.

Jesus robe, 70s hat and maybe some dreadlocks. Honestly I love this idea, but I think I will get a beat down for it. Either from very sensitive african americans or from the almighty himself.

PS: I'm whiter than your starbucks tea cup.

I was thinking of buying a curly hair wig, a thick fake mustache and dress up as Lando Calrissian from Empire Strikes Back, complete with a half empty bottle of Colt 45, but I'm white. Lando's cape rules through.

The Yeti. I'd just buy a bunch of that white, pillow stuffing or fake looking spider webs they sell for decoration and cover myself from head to toe with it, then walk around with a prop severed human leg.

Scarecrow. I already kind of look like one. I'm just gonna gel my hair into really solid shafts, put this burlap hat I have, paint some stitches on myself, buy some old clothes from Goodwill and stuff them with straw at the sleeves.

It's gonna be a nintendo filled holiday in my apartment. I'm going as the almighty himself 'MARIO'. It works because I'm slightly overwheight and already have a moustache that might work. My bestfriend Tim is going as 'Luigi' which works out even better because he's extremely skinny and works out well because he looks like him. We'll probably use a fake moustache because even though we can both grow decent staches, the mario bros. stache is not easily grown.

My roommate Dan is going to dress-up as princess Peach, which should be hilarious because he definitely does NOT have a female figure. My friend Eric is going as Toad, which is awesome because he's the shortest of all of us and he's willing to find that weird freaking hat. I'll take pictures and post, you can count on that. So keep an eye out around halloween time.

Why even bother? Halloween is on a Sunday.

You'll be all dressed up with nowhere to go.

Why not just throw on some blackface with pair of big rubber lips?

If I go to a Halloween party this year, I'm going to shave my goatee and go as Charlie Brown. All I'd have to do is get a yellow T-shirt with the famous zig-zag pattern, wear shorts, and draw that squiggle on my forehead...and I'd be a dead ringer.

I really, really want to go as THIS guy:

The only problem is getting all of the materials to form the costume together. :( Especially the coat. But I know I can pull off the look

Sherlock Holmes for me this year. I've been watching the TV series with Jeremy Brett and love it. I've wanted to buy a nice top hat for a while now anyways, so it all works out.

I'm going as a pedophile this year.

I don't even have to dress up, just rape the little girls trick-or-treating with me!

Yeah, all you need to do is grow a mustache, carry a blood stained pair of children's underwear and flick your tongue at other people.

I need to dress up as some kind of superhero for "Superhero Day" at school. It's sometime before Halloween.

What do you folks suggest? If I had my way I'd go as Red Skull, but I doubt that would fly. Superman and spiderman are all too common ideas too.

I look like Hugh Jackman, so I could go as Wolverine but I'd rather not.

Where the fuck do I find a Powdered Toast Man costume?

This is gonig to sound like I'm a heartless bastard, but I really think I'm going to be this for Halloween.

There's a costume contest gonig on at that all-day horror movie fest that I'm going to, and I think this could easily win me a prize

Funny I was about to start a thread asking for help on a Halloween costume.

Thus far, I decided I want to go as something from Batman, just not the heroes. Or Batman and Robin.

I really narrowed it down to the Riddler, Joker and Penguin. The Penguin costume I found is sold out, no real luck on the other two.

Anyone has any help?

Haha, no I'll leave it to the chicks to dress up as Catwoman, they'll pull it off better than me.

I don't know if Super Mario counts as a superhero, I hope he does though, because I'd do a Super Mario costume.

What do you look like and how much effort do you want to put into this?

Penguin: Riddler is super-easy to do.

On The Real World: San Diego 2 of the dudes dressed up as Mario and Luigi with the big hands and everything. Best costume I've ever seen, especially when Mario got a beer and was talking mad shit.

I'm not sure, Mr. Spike. I'm not down with DC comics, I'll just throw that out there right now.

Marvel super heroes are cool but I don't have any ideas on who to do. Wolverine sounds fun, but it's "Been done". Basically, most of the obvious super heroes will be done at school. Superman, Spiderman, Batman, etc...

I'm not sure if you're into comics, but do you know of any supervillians that have a "Soviet Style" look to them. Sickle-and-Hammer badges all about, stuff like that? I think Red Skull's a Nazi, not a commi.

A Soviet look, eh? Well, you could still do Superman... But given the timing of Mr. Reeves' passing, I'm not sure how well that'd go over with the more sensitive people out there.

And yes, the original Red Skull was a Nazi... but if I'm not mistaken, he was briefly replaced with a Communist one.

Let's see, other Soviets from the MU... well, there's the X-Men villain Omega Red. And Captain America's sometimes ally, the Red Guardian. And if I'm not mistaken, I seem to remember the Hulk fighting a Soviet super-team during the 90s... anyone remember their name?

EDIT: The Supreme Soviets, that's the super-team I was thinking of.

Last year I bought a Neo look-alike trench coat from Hot Topic, which costed me about $90. I got his glasses. I wear a pair of black Vans. And I have some slacks. My hair's a bit long, but I can still do something with it to look something like Neo, maybe... I still trick-or-treat with my buddies, even being 20 years old. Nothing beats free candy and a night with friends, wearing ourselves out by all that walkin' in the rich, bad-ass lamp post neighborhoods. I'm never going to stop.
