I think I'm going as Zombie Spider-man this year. I can probably get a cheap Spider-man costume that's a size too small (so it's not baggy), tear up some gashes in it. Remove half the face, make-up, done.

I was Indiana Jones once (a friend had the official hat which he let me borrow, another friend had a whip, and I had the rest of the costume).
Someone at the party got into a debate with me telling me my jacket should be brown instead of black until finally we had to hunt down a computer and prove he wore a black one.
I actually went with the brown, because I could have sworn that was the proper jacket, but huh. I guess not.
Ah well. It still turned out pretty great! I'll have to see if I can't dig up a picture of it somewhere.
Brown is correct too, he wears different jackets in each film. My point of contention was the guy claiming I couldn't wear a black one (which I would have had to do anyways, since jackets are expensive and my brown jacket was way too light so my black one was the only option).

I actually got lucky and found a cool brown one at Goodwill.
If I hadn't outgrown it like 6 months after I wore it for the costume, I'd probably just wear it around everyday life.
Augh. Halloween is fucking awesome. Def my favorite holiday of the year. And I finally have a party to dress up for this year!
I've been toying with the idea of working on a Baphomet costume. I've always loved the way Baph is depicted in artwork. Unfortunately the people hosting are fairly religious and I'm pretty sure this costume would step on some toes.
I wanna be a sith. Might go full on gray face. Anyone know a good place to get some good sithy robes and a realistic red saber?

This year I was thinking of doing The Kid and having daughter go as a windbag since that'd just be a big purple ball for her.
Will probably end up doing an owl costume for her and I'll dress up like a tree.

We don't really do Halloween in England, but my mates are having a Day of the Dead party on, uh, the day of the dead. I might go all out on some crazy face paint and costume up for that.
I mean, they haven't said it's fancy dress but

This one to be more specific. I just love the look of that mask
If you're going to do that, get a black mask to go with the rest of the black outfit. Just make sure the mask has red tinted glass in the eyeports, and custom fit a little red LED in there so the light reflects back off your face and the eyes actually glow in the night time.

Those masks freak me the fuck out
I remember seeing pictures of them in history class and thinking whyyyy would a doctor wear that??
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.
I went as the 11th Doctor last year and everyone thought I was Bill Nye

The reasoning behind wearing that stuff is actually really neat. In a weird kind of way. For instance, the long beak was used to hold something that was scented and straw to filter the bad air.
If I remember correctly, there were various reasons behind the crazy looking red lens. One of which being if spirits were involved the lens would allow them to see it.
My Halloween fun-times usually consists of listening to H.P. Lovecraft stories and the Danse Macabre on repeat while I work on some sort of spooky illustration.
It's really no different to how I spend the rest of the year.

Well
Bill Nye is pretty great....
Agreed, but everyone thought I was Bill Nye because of the bowtie (and someone thought I was Harry Potter because of the sonic screwdriver).
Meanwhile, my friend went as Slutty Hipster Waldo and everyone immediately knew who she was.

A few years ago I went as Harvey Dent and my face itched for days.

I can't find any pictures of it that don't have someone else in them, but the only Indiana Jones licensed things I bought were the hat and the whip.
The rest of it, including a sweet leather jacket, was all bought by me, and when I threw it all together it looked pretty awesome.

totally thinking about a hotline costume
I feel like Biker would be easier to pull off, since Jacket's...erm, jacket is one of a kind.

i like hurting people

I'd want a really good mask though which would mean shelling out the big bucks.
Like... Gas mask or medical mask? Cause either can found fairly cheap... Unless you want them functional.

Oh a budget, a Bathroom sink drain fixture and a few spare parts can make a fairly decent non-working saber hilt.
No idea on the robes besides costume shops.
