I'm back, cleaned and showered from our jaunt down to Hollywood. My wife and I, and three of her friends signed up for a "Haunted Hollywood" scavenger hunt-thingy. You're given clues about locations around the streets, and have to figure them out and write the answers down. Pretty simple.
I went as a Mad Scientist, my wife and her one friend went as Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, another friend went as a spider-web (low budget costumes!) and the last friend went in sort of a Ren-Faire gown and cape. Needless to say the two villianess' were the hit of the group on the streets.
The fun part was actually seeing the people come out as the night went on. So. Many. Weirdos. And Michael Jackson's WoF star was beset by costumed freaks with gloves and red pleather jackets. The later it got, the skimpier the girls outfits- I would call them costumes, but I don't think that many girls go out as "Streetwalking Cat-girls" these days. It was really something.
Even got to see an actual crack-whore getting arrested.
Good times. Happy Halloween.

Got back from the screening of Rocky Horror, where I had one of my friends across the theater shout "Describe Mike!" right before the "weakling" line at the start of I Can Make You a Man.
Plannin on goin as the Vault Dweller but have no idea what to do about the Pip-Boy, gonna try and make one.
Anyone know any guides on how to build one?
Here's what I came up with the day before Halloween:
An old grey sock, some duct tape and an iPod Touch.
Granted, that would be pretty pricey if you don't already own an iPod or iPhone...
I should really get the photos of the rest of my costume off my flatmate.
So I work weekends for a company that drives home drunk people and tonight was Halloween.
One question: What the fuck was with the Rodeo Clowns?
I couldn't go more than a block downtown without seeing someone dressed up as a god damned rodeo clown. Did everyone just forget to get a costume and decide to pick up a pair of overalls, some bandanas and a $5 grocery store clown makup kit or what?
I had around seventy kids and teens come up to my door. It was my first Halloween in this house (just moved in Sep 18th) and I honestly didn't expect that many people. Fortunately I had enough candy on hand, but now I don't have any left for myself! Hah. There were some good costumes (pool cue with Disco written on the side) and there were some lazy ones (rubber mask with regular clothes).
Nothing really stood out though.

I'm posting in my Henchman #21 outfit right now. I'll post pics tomorrow. My wife is Mina Harker from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. We also have here someone as beatlejuice, a skeleton, a europop/punk band frontwoman and an interpretation of "Lucy in the sky with diamonds".
Alright better late than never but here's my annual pumpkin slaughter:
On Halloween night the melting one was slathered with green glo-sticks. It was supposed to be 'radioactive'.
The pink 80's chick had a light that slowly revolved through different colors.
The large one, if you can't see, had two large bolts sticking out of his brain, which was 'connected' via jump start cables to a flashing rope light we had up to lead people to our porch, and itself was lit with a large strobe.
E: Also the big one was such a burly pumpkin that it took a fall off the pot to the left of it, where it was sitting in, when one of our more drunk guests tried to play with the strobe light that was inside. It was completely fine, not a single crack or dent.

Next year, I think I will be fit enough to pull off a roland deschain.
Sooo going to try to get a good costume for that.

Let's play Mario Kart or something...
I didn't dress up because we went to a football game, drove home just in time to hand out candy. Unlike a lot of towns our trick-or-treat time was 6PM to 8PM so it was dark. A lot of places do like 1PM to 3 PM or something so the kiddies don;t get raped and murdered. Happens every year, at least 450 local kids raped an murdered on Halloween when there are groups of people walking around the streets.
My sister's neighborhood had trick-or-treats LAST SATURDAY. Because if they had it on Halloween it would have conflicted with the high school football Armageddon that is Massillon-McKinley.
So we had about 30 kids altogether, once we were out of candy we turned off the porch light and watched TV.
Anyone else do a zombie walk? Zombie walks are hella fun.
I've wanted to do one, but I at least got to limp around the party I was at and act like a zombie all night which was lots of fun.
I did one in Austin. It was really great. We probably had between 80 and 100 zombies, and it ended at the capitol building where we took a bunch of pictures with all the zombies on the steps. I highly recommend it.
It also helped me step up my costume for Halloween by getting ideas from other zombies, as well as getting used to the process of applying the makeup. I was very happy with the end result.
My little girl designed her own pumpkin, which bore a striking resemblance to the one from It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, probably not coincidentally. Then she helped me carve it out, and then gave it eyelashes because it was a "pretty girl pumpkin".
And then she took a red marker and scribbled blood all around the mouth and spattered across the pumpkin, because it "just ate a trick-or-treater".
I should unload my camera and post a picture.

Jeffe, is it hard for you to hang around other parents because your kids are so much better than theirs?

Crappy white bed sheet, cut out holes for your eyes.
Congratulations, you're now either a ghost or member of the KKK, depending on the State you're in.
Oh! Or cut out a bunch of holes and walk around with a bag, containing a single rock.[/QUOTED]
I tried this once
No-one got it
I did this for Maddie last year. Except I covered it with black circles instead of holes, so it would look more cartoony. A few people got it, which made it worth the effort.
Easiest costume I ever made.

My life is now complete.
That is a fantastic fucking idea, and I'm stealing it for next year.
I just need to find a fucking hockey mask that won't make me look like Jason Voorhees.
I ended up just tossing candy to random people who walked by my apt.

I may cross post this in the my SO is awesome thread, cause my wife put in most of the work on a costume theme of my choosing.

oh man
we needed henchmen!
You have all failed.
Edit: You should have made the eyebrows out of pipe cleaner, Nexus. That way they'd stay straight out.
He was chasing people though so I didn't have a chance to get a picture.
Totally stealing this for next year.

Crazy.
Ahahahaha, yes. I'm trying to figure out a way to make a convincing Zoidberg costume.
I went as Surly, of the Seven Duffs this year. Actually came out pretty good. I'll upload some photos when I can.
