<---- gas mask zombie from Doctor Who this year (specifically infected Doctor Constantine)
last year: Sherlock Holmes (white dress shirt, pajama pants, bathrobe, deerstalker, fake pipe; won costume contest and Nightmare Before Christmas deluxe DVD)
I am running the projector for this year's screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight, so I am super excited for that (but not for the inevitable discovery of vomit in the theater afterwards)
edit: how the FUCK did I miss the Phantasm costume
that is really awesome
(also props for mad eye moody and that jack skellington costume that doesn't totally suck like the one I saw the other day)
So mine is lazy and finding stuff around the house. I am the guy you play as in bioshock. Mostly just 50/60's dress clothing like and drawing the tatoos on my arms.
Last year I stopped shaving for 3 days, brushed my hair a bit different, and walked around with a Jack Daniels bottle half full of iced tea and my eyes mostly shut. Oh, and wearing a Kyle Orton jersey Works a little better in Chicago though.
Sadly, with Kyle now a Bronco (er, that's not the sad part), I am somewhat stumped on a lazy costume idea for this year.

Deebaseron my way to work in a suit and a tieAhhhh...come on fucking guyRegistered Userregular
I was looking at this and trying.... trying.... trying to figure out whether or not I knew who this was.
You're the chick from Mask of the Phantasm! Jeez, it's been forever since I've seen that movie! The full costume would be seriously sweet, and I hope to see pictures if you did manage to finish it.
Wow, you got it!
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem as though I'll be finished come Halloween due to the sheer number of hours I've been working recently. That isn't going to stop me working on it though, as I originally planned to have the full costume ready for FanExpo '10... and it looks like I'm ahead of schedule for that.
I felt like I should know what it was from, and thought that my nerd powers were finally starting to fail me. I was very happy to learn that they were not. :P
I actually went to a Halloween party at the local pub last weekend where we had a Billy Mays, two Abby Shutos (from NCIS), Dread Pirate Roberts, female Edward Scissorhands, a Joker and a shit-ton of sexy "noun" costumes. Plenty of devils, Jesuses, etc. I basically put on a pirate hat (and got everything from pirate to Rob Zombie to Al Jurgenson) and my girlfriend went as a beat poet.

get a bag with a handle and fill it with candy. When people hit you with things grab a handful of candy from your bag and throw it at them.
This seems like a bad idea.
yes and no. I had some fun with it. Just don't use handfuls of small candy and throw them as you'll have a mess to deal with later. get some candy bars or packs of things that are easily dealt with and thrown.

I had a thread in H/A to help me find a kid friendly costume. I decided to be Strawberry Shortcake (not sexy version). Now I have been invited by a friend that transformed his house as a mental asylum for halloween. I still like the costume, (a red dress white apron and pink puffy hat basically) but how can I make it so I look crazy/scary?
Get a some knives, hammers, spatulas, or other impliments of destruction. Then buy some strawberries and some jars of strawberry preserves. Make a mess on a tablecloth of smashed/cut-up strawberries.
Cackle like a madwoman with your hands coated in strawberry jam.

Sexy it up a little, throw in some creepy dark red eyeliner/lipstick, maybe some fishnets, blood, and tattered clothing. You're already halfway to creepy when you start with a childhood figure.

nice, too bad there isn't much time left. I'd get a sealed mason jar and have rotting strawberries in there on some kind of giant leather belt with holsters for knives and jars of decaying strawberries. Probably be tough without a week to let them sit around and get nasty though. You could improvise and make a jar of nasty strawberry concoction though. put in some cut up strawberries, some nasty dark liquids and other unappealing looking things like shoe polish or axle grease...... Jar of nasty.

Haha I love the idea of smashing strawberries around, I'll ty to find make-up idea, maybe on instructable. (and it would be impossible to make a sexy version unless I changed the dress completely, so I won't be that creepy)

You could also go with a Higurashi: When They Cry treatment.
Halloween costume #1 for work. I didn't put too much effort into it and I wanted to take the picture barefoot (as that is how i've been walking around all day), but the person taking the picture insisted i wear the moon boots.
So I guess with the moon boots I'm a hick in the snow. My hick face looks more like zombie face. I'll just have to go back to the mirror and practice that some more.

No, I am not really communist. Yes, it is weird that I use this name.
I went/am going as Really Big Death. I have some Frankenstein boots giving an additional 5 inches of height (making me about 6.5 feet tall) and I put some big skeleton hands on the ends of some crutches giving me about an 11 foot "wingspan." The scythe is cheesy plastic, but it is 6 feet long, so it goes well, as long as I can hold the hands just right to keep a hold of the stupid thing...

That's pretty cool. I'm still at work, so I can't post pictures yet, but I ended up dessing up as Metalicus, the God of Rock. Basically just picked up a Julius Ceasar costume that had a robe, and white wig and beard. I added a few fake tattoos to go along with my real ones(that apparently people were not aware I had thanks to long sleeves) and a spiked/skull wrist band.
Along with that I walked around with a Rock band guitar that I had taped up with lightning bolts. And of course, a pair of panties hanging from it's head. People dug it.
But the costume that people dug even more was of a guy in my office who decided to dress up like me for Halloween. For some reason people alway get us confuse, so he put on a curly wig and glasses, and I'll be damned if he didn't look almost exactly like me. I think I got some questions for my dad..
Oh, and for anyone that asks for a quick costume, this was alternative B for me.. get a guitar hero/rock band guitar and a cape and presto, you're Guitar Hero! You could even get some construction paper and cut out a circle and write GH to it or the like.

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.

Skip the holes and you have yourself a Toga, recognized in all 50 states in the union.
not gonna lie, this was my only other idea if I couldn't find a reasonably good gas mask
(I really want to find some people to do zombie Star Trek redshirts next year)
This is funny, but how are you going to do it? I imagine it would be difficult to be a stick figure.

Go as yourself - print out a picture of your face and tape it over your face.
Haha I saw that done with a drivers license.
You are Richard Pryor and she is a car.
Make sure one of you carries a prop to use to symbolize fire. She can carry it around and be on fire and toss it to you and then you be on fire.
Remember to bring a matchbook so you can tell the joke.

Now I kindof want to see a Sexy Jesus costume.
There were apparently more than one by the uses of "Jesuses". That's just plain insulting to Christianity, since we all know there is only one God.
The sexy part I let slide cause well, have you seen images of the guy? Man was ripped.
Of course he's sexy. A man who's been portrayed by Jim Cavizel, Henry Ian Cusick and Christian Bale (to name a few) can't have looked too bad.
I commend your efforts and wish you the best of luck. You're doing God's work.
What about Willem Dafoe?
:?
one year I went as a pinata... took only a half hour
buy several rolls of that cheap paper party ribbon stuff that people hang from the ceiling in different colors.
One roll of scotch tape.
T-shirt
combine and layer.......voila you are a pinata
