I got asked to dress up as a fisherman for two reasons. One, I fish a lot. Two, because she wanted me to go to a dress up party. I told her to go to hell. I'm going as corporate drone man, which works out since it's after work. In fairness, it's better than last year, which was me in my work clothes and a piece of paper that said 'The Devil' I pulled off the printer before I left, attached with safety pins. 

Best costume I've ever seen was post-apocalyptic business man. Dress shirt with sleeves ripped off. Beat up briefcase, complete with survival gear. A half burned tie and to complete the ensemble, a gas mask.

My daughter will be dressing as a Southern Belle for the second year in a row and I'll be doing my witch impression.

I'm a druid, so I celebrate the now commercialized holidays the good old fashioned way. We're doing the traditional feast thing: squash soup, pumpkin bread, roasted brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, ham, with truffles for dessert. Oh, and pomegranate offering cakes which are light, flaky, and sweet. Carving pumpkins and all that fun stuff too.

I'm being Nolan's/Hardy's Bane: "No one cared who I was till I put on the mask. . . ."

My girlfriend's being Hathaway's Selina Kyle/Catwoman, and the dog is dressing up as Batsy himself.

We're going to a costume party tomorrow night. "Let the games begin!"

Yeah at first I thought he was joking but then I realized he was talking about Donnie Darko. That would actually be a great costume.

Making a Poison Ivy costume for a party tomorrow, it is kick ass and will be my War Avatar. 

I also have a gothic Little Red Riding Hood 12 year old and a Princess (of course to be ironic) 16 year old. 

I love Halloween!

Crappy ol' pirate tonight - I haven't shaved for 2 weeks, to add to the dodginess, and it's bloody itchy! ;)

Sadly, work thing. Zzzz.

We're going to a party tonight but it's not a Halloween party. I think I am going to make a joke only me and HusBANG! get and go as a local artist. The women have a particular way of dressing. For actual Halloween, I'm going as a witch because I got too busy to plan in advance.

The little one is going as a pumpkin because it is the ONLY THING IN THE WORLD she wanted to dress as. So I'll have pics of that this afternoon.

I went as Donnie Darko once. All I did was wear a shirt with ribs on it and carry an axe.

This year, I went as Leela from Futurama and my sister's boyfriend went as Fry (he is pretty much the real-life version of Fry, no kidding.) I dyed my hair blonde last week and did purple this weekend, only it was more purple the day after the party than it was the day of. Oh, and I got really wasted and slept forever.

not the best picture, but Vyvyan Basterd crashed a wedding last night...

unfortunately I had no cricket bat this year, but I did find a samurai sword under the table by the end of the night, so it was a very special blend of romance and extreme violence.

I am going to answer the door and hand out candy with my hair in a beehive, five inch heels on, wearing an apron that says, "Satan Made Me Poison Your Dinner," while my 11 y/o son goes out trick or treating as Elvis, the Late Years. 

 

Last year I was a sugar skull. Pretty.

@Avery - So the dead mom? Cause if you meant it how you dead it that is a pretty neat idea.

Sleep in so I'm ready for NaNo. Maybe do a write in with little prep work if I feel up to it, but I doubt it.

Due to life and all the chaos in it, my girlfriend and I didn't come up with anything for this year, but we generally go all out.  This year we were going to go as characters from the Mass Effect video game, which would have been out most abitious costume yet.  Cosplay type stuff.  Last year, it was a little simpler:

Guy with alien hand from District 9

I wore a suit to work today (in a casual corporate environment), and kept having to explain that "I thought people dressed up for Halloween …" Of course the running clichéd reaction whenever someone does that is "Got a job interview?"
