    Yeah I was thinking poster board + spray painted cotton balls or something.

    I'm bad at creativity. Real bad.

    I don't think you can spray paint cotton balls... Maybe fake hair via cheap halloween wigs?

    Scout as in Boy Scouts, Scout as in To Kill a Mockingbird, or Scout as in Scout-Sniper. The last one would be the coolest. You can crawl from house to house on your belly and then ring the doorbell. When they come out, see how long it takes for them to notice you in your ghille suit. Pro-tip: don't bring the rifle. It could lead to misunderstandings.

    Edit: I found a really good one actually. For anyone else interested.

    To drive the point home a little more, I'm going to shape my goatee to a point and wear small horns under the hat so they can bee seen when I take it off. Also, a cross tie pin worn so the cross is upside down.

    That Scout costume is awesome. I really want to create my own videogame costume, but I don't know who to be.

    Anyway, in the spirit of Halloween (and because I love buying horror movies) I picked up three dvds. Both Dawn of the Deads and the new Day of the Dead (released 2007). I expect Day of the Dead to be horrible, which makes it a great purchase because I love horrible horror movies. Apparently Ving Rhames is in this one as well. Also, I have only seen bits of the original Dawn of the Dead.

    I could poll my entire university right now and perhaps 20% if that would know who Joe the Plumber is.

    (this is based in optimism)

    Sarah Palin will likely be a popular costume, though, along with the Joker.

    Then you need to post this:

    Over here in the UK (at least where I am) it's pretty much about commercialism and getting sweets. The kids barely bother with costumes any more.

    Now, I'm not wanting to get my house egged so I do the best thing. Cheap Chinese sweets, the bonus of course is that I give them kidney stones from the Chinese milk in the sweets!

    Yes, I'm evil.

    I was not even going to dress this Halloween. I am volunteering for a Haunted House for kids in my neighborhood, but the simplicity of the headless horseman is a good way to be scary but not give the kids a shit attack and easy to do by this weekend. Now to buy some pumpkins!!!!

    I thought of a good daytime costume, though you can't wear it at parties because people will want to see your face:
    Put on a balaclava, then put on a stocking or pantyhose over it. Tada! you now have no face. Add in black gloves, socks, and underarmor, and you are totally covered in black. Now just put something on over it, a white suit would look cool, and you're a walking shadow.

    Why do they keep letting chucklefucks remake romero's masterpieces?

    I bought land of the dead and dawn of the dead (remake) last night. Two of em for 9 dollars! I gotta get some of the original ones now, starting with dawn.

    well, if Romero is going to make shit like Diary of the Dead, seems like it wouldn't be fair to not let others ruin his name as well.

    I really want to do a Bridget costume, but I think I'm too lazy to get it together in time.

    You'll have the best Joker costume out of the hundred and five that will be there.
