I need a Halloween costume idea

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I haven't had a good Halloween costume for two years and it makes me feel very lousy. Please aid me in an idea. Preferrably one that does not require many hours of seamstressry. Or rusty nails, I don't want to be mistaken as one of those people dressed up like "tetanus."

You guys are great. I wish I could post here more often. I am busy.

Buy a giant pitta bread and go to the party as a kebab.

hello! did you get the photograph? You should probably go as the Incredible Hulk. Paint yourself entirely green, and wear some ripped jeans.

― rainy, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes, I got it Saturday. Wait, wait, for you are getting "io" soon.

a mummy only requires a roll of toilet paper.

(two if you've been over-indulging lately.)

― jess, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can think of a couple "indulgences" that would decrease the amount of toilet paper needed.

this is veering dangerously close to bizarre german porn territory, something titled kaviar party or some such. (not that i know anything about this. oh no.)

If you're a girl, go harlot-style. Skanky dress, high heels, carrying in hand a Barbie doll house and a baseball bat. Viola! You are a homewrecker.

Slipknot!

By a black boiler suit, a Slipknot hoodie, get a funny scary mask from a store thats sells Halloween stuff and pretend your an extra member of Slipknot.

Go around screaming in the streets "People=Shit" and "sex sex sex sex sex" like a demented 15 year old kid and demand trick or treat from the cops or you will spray them with silly string - do it either way, then run away - if u get caught you will end up in a police cell for free overnight accommodation with breakfast served on tray in the morning.

Go as yourself. The Fibonacci numbers. You will frighten, then enlighten your friends with your knowledge of advanced mathematical patterns.. which in turn will frighten them again. Fright * 2!

Ghostbuster outfits are easy to make - and useful for all kinds of fancy dress occasions! Just don't leave it in someone else's manky garage for six months. Alternatively, for a fraction of the cost, go as a vampire-hunting padre. All you need for that is a tatty bit of white card sellotaped to your collar. Grate!

i've always wanted to be the jack in the box guy....i just never got around to making a big papermache head.

― ernest, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Go as me. Wait, I owe you a letter don't I? I'll get on that!

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 24 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Go as Howard Stern.

― Pennysong Hanle y, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

go as the transvestite Hedwig from "Hedwig and the Angry Inch". Just requires a lot of lipstick, eyeshadow, wig, and some tight clothes. Easy as cinche. Hella fun and you can get some kicks out of it if you've seen the movie.

Be one of those nice Cenobytes from Hellraiser. Wear skintight leather and/or PVC. Buy a camcorder, smash it up then apply the parts to your body as appropriate. Alternatively use a second hand camcorder that doesnt work properly. This probably works out cheaper.

You could be a Teletubby. But if my head was big enough I'd much rather be a Powerpuff Girl. Buttercup, anyways.

― Honda, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Get a large white cotton sheet, cut two small holes in it and place it over your head. The classics are the best.

― chris, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

cenobite costume: shave head; buy pins; apply — sorted.

Whatever you do, don't go as a baby. People who can't think of a costume and then dress up as babies irritate me.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Slinky black cat, or a lady-bird.

― Tabs, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Go as the spectre of world recession. I went to a Halloween party as that once and just dressed down a bit.

― Pete, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Just a minute kids. It is only September 25th! There is over a month to go till Hallowe'en! And thank God I will be out of the country so the teeth of North London's kiddies will live to fight another day.

For the past two years I've been dying to be a character from my favorite film, "Showgirls"--the character of the lead bitchy showgirl played by Gina Gershon, a certain "Cristal Connors". In order to play Cristal, however, I think I need a big posse of characters from the movie, or at least, I think it would be much funnier that way. As for your halloween costume, I'll give you the answer my dad always used to when I was a kid: be a gas pump.

I have assembled numerous garments that I want to wear and haven't had the chance in polite society. It is going to end up being a space whore costume, I believe.

― Lyra, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A best last minute costume fix is to go as clutter. Walk around your home and duct tape to yourself any loose items you find, such as wooden spoons, pens, socks, a clock radio, etc. Cost = one roll of tape.

If you're brave you can go as Osama bin Laden. Leave the fake AK47 at home, though.

Go as me. Everyone loves me.

― Ally, Tuesday, 25 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I went as Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy three years ago. For the hair I glued nails to a football helmet & spraypainted it black. People thought i was supposed to be a cenobyte. Cenobytes typically do not wear mary janes red skirts w/black polka dots. Typical "misunderstood" teenager, I was. *sniffle*

― 1 1 2 3 5, Wednesday, 26 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am reading a book on Joe Bairds nancies . The Nancy trope is very popoular in pop art used by all the biggies, inc. warhol.

― anthony, Saturday, 29 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I lveo Ally, I want to marry her tonite.

― Mike Hanle y, Saturday, 29 September 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What's a cenobyte?

Oh come on, like I'd wear my sleuthing uniform as a costume.

― Abbott, Sunday, 29 July 2007 23:51 (eighteen years ago)

One of my friends was this last year.

― Ivan, Sunday, 29 July 2007 23:52 (eighteen years ago)

One of my friends went as a flasher last year and sewed herself a penis out of a pair of nylons w/"uncanny valley" balls & pubes under her shifty trenchcoat.

― Abbott, Sunday, 29 July 2007 23:56 (eighteen years ago)

Last year I was 'Sommersby.' I like costumes that garner reactions that lie somewhere between 'wtf?' and disappointment/indifference.

― wanko ergo sum, Monday, 30 July 2007 00:05 (eighteen years ago)

That is awesome, Abbott. I wish I could find that picture of this guy dressed as a bloody pad.

― Ivan, Monday, 30 July 2007 00:07 (eighteen years ago)

Halloween is great because late fall/early winter doesn't usually afford you many other opporunities to show off your ass and vagina.

― wanko ergo sum, Monday, 30 July 2007 00:11 (eighteen years ago)

My friend + ilxor buddy was Cabbagehead from kids in the hall 6 years ago. Is it gauche for me to use this costume when I came up with it by myself

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Monday, 30 July 2007 00:28 (eighteen years ago)
