I actually did not enjoy it much last year (the college was trying to reign in festivities with incredible gusto, no music past 6 pm or the cops or horseback would come shut you down, which did in fact happen, and this was all across the off-campus college town), but if I have nothing better to do that weekend, why not? See my friends and stuff, maybe head into Santa Barbara proper.
I can't decide who is worse, that school's administration or Actual Nazis
The administration has been quite transparent about their goals to change UCSB's party school reputation. I honestly felt pretty bad for the people who were coming from far way to experience Isla Vista Halloween (that's the name of the college town). Because by the time they had arrived the cops had already shut down a lot of parties. What music there was was kept annoyingly, uselessly low.
God dammit Muse. First you steal my avatar and now you are going to MY school?! Are you trying to replace me? I knew it!
I actually graduated a few years ago and even then I saw that the Halloween presence was dropping every year. There was still a lot of madness going on when I left though.
Also, I need a halloween costume for a guy with long hair. Ideas?
I'm not actually attending UCSB anymore, but I do remember Halloween quite well. The most fun I had was watching Silent Hill and playing Apples to Apples. I'd never been to parties without music before, I don't want to do it ever again. Or even when there was music it was turned down real low. What a bummer. My friends were total dicks those nights too. Hence why the movie/boardgames with a different crew was a lot more fun. The school is going to build a buttload of new dorms to house a significantly higher percentage of their students in, with the express purpose of being able to keep an eye on them and curtail any untoward behavior. The administration is positively giddy. I may still go to IV Halloween anyway
We should put together a list of costume recommendations, and I can add the list to the OP.
If you are a skinny, white male, you have an obligation to go as Bane.
Something to eclipse the Fat Jokers.
This requires being like emaciated though
If you have any meat on your bones at all then it will just look pathetic as hell instead of funny
In other news the slutty Bert idea made me start thinking about Slutty Oscar the Grouch. Basically just need a green face, brown eyebrows and a trash can lid, with the world's tiniest trash can around the old genitals and some ratty tennis shoes
I love Halloween, it's an excuse to show off how awesome you are at making stuff! Last year sucked because I had no time to work on it (last-minute cowgirl yeahhhh), but the year before I made a badass Medic costume that dispensed rum and coke from the medi-backpack.
This year, I'm making a Commander Shepard armour costume with a friend of mine (we're both going to be Shepard, since it really doesn't matter what you look like for the female version). I'm also helping my sister make a glowing disco stick, and some other friends are going as Zapp Brannigan and Kif (and I'm helping to sew costumes for them)!

Oh man wait, Halloween problems: I'd honestly rather stay in LA for Halloween festivities but I have like, one, maybe two people I may do anything with. Why can't my UCSB friends come up here?
Fo' real, how many LA-homps we got? I want to go big with my costumes.

I'm just gonna be Walter White since I can grow the beard and I have most of the clothes. Just need a pork pie hat to complete it. I have a big mop of hair, and I'm not sure if I should get a close cut a week before Halloween and wear a bald cap or just wear the hat the whole time.
I have no idea what party I'm gonna go to but it should be good. I plan on knocking when I get there, and I'll bring an actual pizza and bread sticks.
God dammit. Been trying to keep away from candy but there's a store here that's selling bags of lemonheads in those tiny little boxes. I think I need to avoid that store for the next month.

Yes yes I love this idea!
I was just thinking of doing the thing I did last year where once a day for the month of October I maek post featuring a Halloween-themed movie, song and selected other media
It is my favourite time of year! I love being spooky.
Would you be amenable to that?

That sounds great! I was thinking I'd try to compile some movie/music/tv/radioplay lists but I'm sure a joint effort would yield a much better product.

that's pretty good
This reminded me they actually made those shoes for charity and I am not rich and thus could not own them
@MoosehatIV: Hahaha, c'mon that is pretty funny.

Aww!
I'm right here but I was out of town!
I was planning on doing another 31 Days of Halloween thread but Muse made this lovely thread already!
So... should I still make one?

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
anything that John Goodman has ever done
congrats, you're a pile of leaves
This year? Nope.
Helmet and The Toadies are playing that night.
My costume is going to be a guy who is about to rock the fuck out.
