I need to be dead for Halloween this year - very cheaply. We're the morgue at work this year, 3 of us are the doctors, 3 are dead. I need an awesome cause of death (must be cheap and allow cubicle work). Any ideas?
Edit: Despite my slutty name, I am male (just the victim of tails in a name change thread)

Do you want it professional like, or will an auto "accident" do?
This baby took me 4 hours to carve. I give you...Skelvis.
We did a bunch of great pumpkins this year:
Frank the Bunny (He had eyebrows at one point, but they broke off.)
Edward Scissorhands
The "Head" Cheerleader & Boo
Cheshire Cat, Wario, Corpse Bride, and Barack Obama

Anyone else carve some awesome pumpkins?
Holy shit, those are awesome. Sadly I haven't done anything good yet, just the basics.
If anyone at the parties you go to is remotely politically aware and you need a fast costume (still looking, Medo?), you could always go as a mugged John McCain supporter:

Impalement? Get a household object, cut it in half, and then attach one half to your shirt and cover in blood.
I needed a cheap, easy costume for this year - as with every other year I always over think it and then get too lazy to create it at the last minute - ah well.
Of course..it is pretty obscure, but I wanted to make the jacket regardless of Halloween.
But one question remains:
So I wasn't planning on doing anything this year, but then I got invited to a party last minute, which means costume shopping today.
I was thinking of tracking down a white robe and white hair/beard. Then wear some spike collar, a band's t-shirt underneath the robe, and sling my guitar over my shoulder and go as a Rock God.

My scarecrow outfit is going over big here at work. Just some old baggy clothes from Salvation Army store, some hay from Michael's, work gloves dyed dirty brown from OSH, some rope, a black out mask and burlap for the head.
I'm actually scaring some people here. I can't wait to go out with my nephew tonight!

I don't know about any of you, but a Halloween party to me doesn't consist of just drinking and playing Rock Band. That right there is called every weekend I go to my friends, not Halloween. No scary movies = no me. I might just stay in tonight and watch movies.
I think most of the biggest holidays have strong roots in our pagan collective psyche, that's why they are so popular.
On Halloween, we pretend to be death and monsters and creatures of darkness and all the things we're afraid of, to remind ourselves that we aren't really that afraid of death and monsters and the fact that we are more than hlafway into the dark part of the year. To remind ourselves that we really are better than those things, better enough to make fun of them.
Not to mention the fact that we basically train our young to terrorize their neighborhoods, threatening the citizenry with vile acts, unless they placate the youngins' with sweets- or, god forbid, plastic baggies filled with pennies.
I've managed to complete my Rorschach costume. I think it turned out well, and all it cost me was a hat and a white scarf for under $20 combined. Whoo, vaguely topical costumes!
My son was going to be Robot Chicken, but we ran out of time so now he's just Chicken. It was actually a costume designed for a dog, but it was cute and cheap and it fit. Maddie will be Snow White using a made-from-scratch/store-bought combo dealie. Julie's going to be a hot witch, or something (it's a costume she already had).
Normally I wouldn't bother dressing up, but Maddie wanted us to and we're weak.

I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.
Seriously, you UKers are dead inside. Absolutely dead inside.
This is true.
Halloween is amazing. Probably the best holiday ever.
It's an excuse to act nuts and dress up in absolutely ludicrous costumes. And all the girls who want to get to dress up like huge whores of the evening, yay!
Hey guys check out my bitchin' costume that cost me a total of six dollars:
Cool.
You need an unreasonably large gun.

no annoying trick-or-treaters = check
pumpkin soup for dinner = check
non-halloween dvd to watch = check (Children of Men)
A nice, normal Friday night
I was going to do something like that, but tomorrow. Anyone ever had pumpkin soup served out of an actual cleaned pumpkin? I'm thinking of doing that. But with scary movies.

I can't decide on if I want to be Dave or a three hole punch version of me. Also, I can't wait for this episode.

haha oh god that is a hilarious costume idea.
"Night of the Living Dead" is up on hulu, if anyone is interested. Just do a search for it and you ought to find it.

However, if you have not seen the original Night of the Living Dead, you need to see it at least once.
Great, great flick.

An old keyboard could look pretty cool.
Of course..it is pretty obscure, but I wanted to make the jacket regardless of Halloween.
But one question remains:
Oh yeah.
I was thinking of tracking down a white robe and white hair/beard. Then wear some spike collar, a band's t-shirt underneath the robe, and sling my guitar over my shoulder and go as a Rock God.
How would anyone see the t-shirt under the robe?
The face paint has faded a little bit, so I'm probably going to need to touch it up soon.

It's uhh... It's itchy.
Scarecrow brothas!
Solidarity, brotha!
