The time approaches! The time for costumes and candy and scaring yourself for no good reason!

Discuss. (31 Days of my personal Halloween arts and entertainment countdown begins on October 1st.)

    I'm living in an actual neighborhood for the first time in 12 years, and I'm not sure how I'm going to deal with trick-or-treaters if they show up at the house. It's still weird seeing kids just running around in the street.

    Also, I plan on working a bunch next month so I'm pretty sure I'm not going to any sweet Halloween parties. :(

    I've never done any celebrating on Halloween since I grew out of trick-or-treating, but there are a ton of kids in this neighborhood so I know we'll be handing out candy if nothing else.

    My quest for a white karate costume to dye pink kicks into high gear this weekend!

    But I have to think of a costume to come up with in case Dan Hibiki doesn't happen, and that is seriously tripping me up.

    I want to do this

    But they are refusing to put up their how to video till after Halloween :cry:

    How To:

    1. Go to Ikea.
    Buy 3 of these for 8 bucks a pop.

    fyllen-laundry-basket__52092_PE152426_S4.jpg

    2. Go to a fabric store and buy some thin, cool, bright coloured fabric.

    3. Cut the tops off all three hampers. Cut the bottoms off two of them. Cut the top and bottom horizontal wires out of the hampers and stitch together at the silver reinforced sections making sure the wire that coils up is aligned.

    4. Measure the circular opening of the hamper. Cut a circle of fabric with about an inch bigger diameter.

    5. Measure the height of the three connected hampers. Cut a rectangle of fabric the height by the circumference plus an inch. Stitch along the height sides to make a big tube of fabric.

    6. Stitch the top circle to the tube. Slip the tube of fabric over the hampers.

    7. Figure out where your arms will come out of the costume and cut corresponding holes in the fabric and hampers.

    8. Cut 2 pieces of fabric the width of which is the diameter of the holes you cut in the hampers and about twice or 2.5 times as long as your arms.

    9. You know this step - stitch the longs edges together to make two long, thin tubes.

    10. Attached the arm tubes to the costume.

    11. Cut a mouth hole in the fabric/hampers. It looks in the video like they stitched the fabric and hampers together at this opening.

    12. Stitch on some circles of black and white felt to make eyes.

    13. Get inside and flail around like a goose.

    The costume featured in the above video is actually one of the mascots of a Roller Derby team from my home state!

    I went as Clark Kent one year. It's exceptionally easy, just get a business suit and some glasses, and then wear a Superman t-shirt underneath your button-up shirt, and have the button-up shirt partially unbuttoned. Easy to make and everyone should know what it is without much trouble.

    Various Doctors from Doctor Who also have some easy costumes, but may have trouble getting some people to recognize what you are depending on where you're going. Though if you show up in a giant blue phone box that may help.

    For anime fans, Jigen from Lupin III is reasonably easy to do and pretty recognizable (Lupin himself is more recognizable but a slightly harder costume since finding a red or green jacket that looks right isn't as easy).

    Alternatively, Wayne or Garth from Wayne's World.

    If you don't do this in a pair then I'm gonna feel real sorry for you.

    I am going to a halloween party as Wario this year since I have the costume just sitting there after pax and how often do you get to wear purple overalls?

  • Dex DynamoDex Dynamo Registered User regular
    I've done all of those costumes as well (except I did Lupin because I already owned a red jacket)!

    Also, one time I saw a guy in a Wayne costume at a party by himself, and the dude found a guy who looked like Garth (but wasn't wearing a costume) and hung around him the entire night, only to casually walk away when the dude turned around. It was magical.

    I have successfully acquired the core basics of my costume for the first half of any Halloween related night

    I'll post pictures soon probably, I'm pretty pleased with it

  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    I don't have a clue what I'm doing this year, though I suppose since I'm in a new city with new people I can go as Kent again
    that just seems lazy though

    (I am the laziest)
