HALLOWEEN WOO
This is a thread about Halloween, the traditional night of dressing up like other things and getting wasted and/or begging strangers for candy. Oh yeah and we carve up squash for the heck of it.
So, discuss Halloween you homps.
Best Halloween memory as a kid?
Best costume you've ever worn (pictures!)? Bonus for group of friend ensemble costumes.
Your costume ideas for this year?
Awesome carved pumpkins?
Etc. Etc.
Here is a picture to kick us off:
Pets love to be dressed up!

"Now here's where it gets cool! This is not your ordinary Halloween party, this one has a theme, and going along with all of Liz's love of epic biblical themes and names, we have decided Heaven vs. Hell sounds like a lot of fun! However, we want you all the get REALLY creative with these themes, I don't want to just see a ton of people wearing cheap wire halos or headbands with devil horns on them! Your costumes don't even need to be from the Judeo-Christian ideas of Heaven & Hell, so do some research, get creative, get funny, get awesome! There will again be a costume contest with prizes. We really want this party to be a smash, but that will take all of you really coming together on this! We will provide food & soft drinks as well as a birthday cake, we would love if you wanted to volunteer any paper plates/cups, plastic silverware, drinks, firewood, etc. Have an idea for something for the party (costume, way to help, idea for decorations)? Contact us and run it by us, we are ready to offer advice, take advice, run with cool ideas.
This will be pretty rad.
tldr: good and evil party. suggest creativity and avoiding the generic horns and halos.
I have no fucking idea what to do. So many options. Can anyone throw out some ideas that I could pull off as a black fellow of average build that would fit the theme?

The Man in Black at the Crossroads, the dude you sell your soul to in order to become a good musician.
Isn't that just Satan?
Pretty much... BUT WITH JAZZ HANDS! But it would be a rather simple and non-traditional way of dressing up as a demon. Put on a nice black suit, get a black fedora, a harmonica, a bottle of moon shine or something significantly old timey and done.
Totally gonna walk into a Halloween party
"Rorschach's journal, October 31st 2009. Man throwing up in the alley, women dressed like whores. This party is afraid of me, I have seen its true face."
I was just walking down the street in Baltimore, distracted by something
I look up and he's right in front of me, the most perfect fucking costume, with his hands in his pockets and walking very slowly
I was rather creeped out

It's not about shape it's about confidence.
I saw one joker like this in a bar last year. He was just sitting by himself. off in a corner. Kind of looking. . .terrifying.
you can go many directions with this, you can dress up as any of your favorite doom or quake characters
i would suggest this guy
OR
if you wanna go the judeo christian route with a bit of creativity, you could try to envision what Satan woulda looked like prior to the fall or immediately thereafter where you could combine stereotypical angelic and demonic features (burned wings, wounds, etc)
say i'm going as a ghost
(but not dress like swayze from ghost that would be too obvious)
Or would a Goatee be better?
last year i was one of the fifty jokers walking around my town, but i spent hours practicing the make up so it came out pretty well. most people half-assed that part so i was pleased with it.
Every year they have a Halloween party, and being idiots, they host all the pictures on their website. They're borderline NWS I believe, and definitely Not Mind Safe.

Notice the "chinaman", the people in blackface who got first prize, and the gorilla holding an Obama placard. It's really surprising this kind of thing is still encouraged.
I can only imagine this year's pictures.
You were creeped out because must be GUILTY of something. :P
Zombie Billy Mays.
I'm thinking of making a TARDIS out of cardboard to bring with me, but I'm not sure how big it should be so as to not be cumbersome. Which Doctor will you be going as?
My other costume idea was to get six or seven of my friends to each dress up as one of the Killer 7. Unfortunately, I don't think any of them has played it, so I won't be able to do this.
If you have a friend, they could go as a Guilty-Looking Shamwow Vince.
Gotta think of something, though- we're doing a scavenger hunt in Hollywood on Halloween
Two years ago, I was wikipedia. (Just printed a bunch of articles and made a jerry-rigged tear away from shirt thing)
Last year, I was jack skellington and my gf was sally. We looked pretty great -- full costumes, but the only picture I have that isn't the two of us is just me in face paint.)
This year, we might be going as Joan and John Sterling from Mad Men.
Tokyo.
Also, my buddy was going to wear a toga with a dildo peeking out the bottom. Biggus Dickus. However, it was a PG party, so he pinned a yellow flashing bike light to his shoulder, and bought an obscenely bright flashlight.
He was that guy behind you with one headlight and constantly turing left.

I also did a Bender costume freshman year of college that I was pretty proud of:

This year I think we're doing Kermit + Miss Piggy. I'd like to find a way to get away with it without a full mask, since that's a pain in the ass at a party.
Plus maybe I could do "reporter Kermit," which would give me an excuse to buy a trenchcoat and fedora.

I'm not dressing up this year, it's going to be tough enough making sure everything ELSE gets done before Halloween.
Wearing a Rorschach costume all night sucked. It was hot, and hard to see. So this year, I'm just doing Arthur Dent. A housecoat, a towel, and a book with "don't panic" written in big friendly letters on the front.
This year I will be a Ghostbuster.
He will not allow that hat to stay on his head. Hats are deemed to silly to wear. I do think he will have a blast with extra arms though.

If not, then this looks pretty easy and cheap, though time-consuming.
They're charging $20 for a balloon and a cardboard box?
Eh... I don't know if I'd pay 100 bucks for the coat. Do you have a link or something? I was thinking of dressing as him myself, but I'd have to buy every part of the costume. I normally make things out of clothes I already have
Here is something pretty close...you could maybe paint the buttons white or something.

Irongate Gallery for US buyers - $130
Annoying: super-cheap yet only ships within UK
The rest of the costume is easy, you just need welding goggles and gloves, and galoshes. Each of those is probably under $10 each on Amazon.
I don't think it's gonna jazz with the work-hosted/sponsored bash we're throwing downtown this year, since the theme is Retro. I expect a 50% MJ costume level.
Damned happy we changed our grand prize for the contest to "Best Retro Costume".
Originally, it was best MJ costume.
*sigh*
She's going as a really steretypical nerd with hiked up pants, button up shirt, gigantic 80's glasses and a small collection of pokemon cards stuffed in her ink-stained pocket protector.
