When I was at a Halloween store one year I saw this cheezy septor with a gothy looking cross on top and was inspired. So I used the septor, my graduation gown from highschool. Made a pope hat out of black poster board and a pope mobile out of a big cardboard box that was painted black with big orange flames on the sides. The pope mobile was hung around my waist by suspenders. A little bit of creepy make up and I was an evil pope. The car didn't go over so well at the crowded bar though.
What is a mystery cloak?
No one's going as the Joker? I'll go as the Joker if Wally goes as the Penguin
My girlfriend is going as a Pirate Hooker.
I'm going to be my bedroom (it was successful two years ago at Fells Point Baltimore but I don't have a single picture of it). I just wore an egg crate mattress topper around me and taped crap to it. I made a pillow for my left arm from some of the left-over egg crate and I wore a shoe box on my foot. Then I taped E36 M3 all over me and let loose. "I'm my bedroom. Would you to come inside?"
I didn't do anything last year, so I gotta make up for it. Penn State this year, baby!
I love the Caylee Anthony idea. And the one-night stand.

Also, Apocalyptica's rendition of Hall of the Mountain King.
Cereal boxes are easy or maybe box of Tide .
My wife is going as an orthopedic surgeon. White lab coat and a chainsaw.
My friend is having an evil circus themed party. I'm going as Michael Myers....dressed as a clown. Greasy overalls, steel toe boots, gloves, Meyers mask, clown wig, and a red nose. If i can find them a clown horn and a rubber chicken with a knife through it.

Miracle Cloak, as in stolen from Miracle Max by Vessik, in The Princess Bride. Full length, hooded. sinister.
And very comfortable on a cold autumn night. I still have one left over from my SCA days.

That was a holocaust cloak. It wasn't stolen. Miracle Max gave it to Fezzik because it fit so well.

I have bad memories of going in a box costume. We got a new washing machine when I was in seventh grade, so I got the bright Idea I was going to be a refridgerator for halloween. I painted up the washing machine box and headed out. Unfortunately I was attacked by some older kids with eggs and shaving cream. While my friends were able to run off and leave me for dead my only defense was to turtle inside the box until it was over.
plus, if you don't think ahead, your arm hole may be too far from your mouth hole, and you will need someone else to feed you beer all night.
but having a beer wench might not a bad idea make.

ok well last year I was uncertain about what to do for Halloween. I went into hot topic got this shirt, and multiple mustaches and the rest is history. My wife didnt like the costume very much but it was a hit.

I stand corrected. Guess I need to re-watch that movie; it was a classic.
This Halloween I am going as a zombie thread.

And a friend's last year:
This year I think we're going as Miyazaki characters. No-Face, Mononoke, Totoro, and Nausicaä.
Be my hero and go as the Crimson Pig.
This is a zombie thread, and I don't even care, I'm still going to post!
I am going as a backpack. You cut a hole in the bottom and step into it, with the straps on the back. And the zippers will zip up to the armpits. The idea is that you will fit snugly and people can pick you up. I find it an amusing idea.
since i shave my head, have a goatee, and wear glasses, i'm heisenberg bitches!
With a great 5 year old zombie thread, time to be creative.
I go as an engineer. Save money for a costume.
Which is what I did as a kid- was a hobo many times- just used old clothing, and rub some dirt on your face- done. In college, I did hockey player- i put my one equipment on. Why spend money on costumes??? That's the GRM way, right?

Werner Heisenberg had a full head of hair and no beard. Or... were you just trying to be unpredictable?
