I didn't know Halloween was something you "did" so much as something you experienced?

As far as dressing up, sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. This really isn't the point of it at all for me. Though I do dig seeing some folks costumes (especially the costumes of some naughty, naughty girls :D:sneaky:), and what different people come up with to wear.

I dunno. I might dress up, I may not. If I do it won't be anything expensive. I always thought I'd enjoy dressing up as a peasant and buy two coconuts to bang them together and have another guy dress up like a knight. That would be a fun costume (if I could get someone else to do the knight). Likewise, if I could get two or three friends together it would be fun as hell to dress up like Alex and his "droogs" from "A Clockwork Orange". Work may frown upon that though (although most of the idiots wouldn't get the reference anyway).

I always take vacation for Halloween and usually take 3-5 days off in a row. It's my most favorite holiday of the year as I love the atmosphere, horror festivals, haunted houses, corn mazes, etc. etc. -- it's just a fun as hell time to be a horror fan. I also enjoy getting together a ton of good horror films together to watch.

[Tricky]

I'll always dress up for halloween i think, my friends always make a big thing of it, usually starting with a houseparty where the house is all decked out in cobwebs etc & we all drink a load of booze, then we all head out into town to the pubs & clubs to shock everyone/make them laugh with our costumes! I got some funny looks with my Dr Tongue one last halloween :lol:

I love Halloween. While I don't always dress up I just enjoy the overall atmosphere that surrounds this semi sort of holiday. Last year i went as a bobble headed grim reaper... this year... probably go without costume.

Depends on which friend really, I'll make up an old mask, or I might stay home and freak the kids. I'm seldom drunk, its dangerous to wander drunk,

Like most holidays it's all about the kids.

:cool:

Ah, but I guess it depends on how much of a kid we still are at heart. :D

I know horror movies don't scare the crap out of me like they did when I was little (usually, every now and then is the exception to the rule where it can still manage to get through my jaded adult cynicism and desensitized nature) but I'll be the first to admit I appreciate a good horror movie now more than when I was little -- and it's always a pleasure to get in tune with that childish wonder/fear/excitement like it was when I was little again.

EXACTLY! i was in full on JUST dead zombie get up last year......in pennsylvania and no one got it.....damn idiots

[Chic Freak]

Ah, the repressed girls staggering around in their crappy Ann Summers-esque costumes and drinking alcopops. What would Halloween be without them? *le sigh* I've got nothing against slutty clothing, but if you're too ball-less to dress like a slutty wierdo every day of the year it's kind of pathetic to reserve it for Halloween, in my book :p


Likewise, if I could get two or three friends together it would be fun as hell to dress up like Alex and his "droogs" from "A Clockwork Orange".

Oh. My. God. I am absolutely stealing that idea for this Halloween. Sorry. I missed out last year because I was in Malta and they don't celebrate Halloween at all. The year before that I went as a zombie prom queen in a vintage 50s dress and Marilyn Monroe wig *nods*


Ah, but I guess it depends on how much of a kid we still are at heart. :D

Absolutely!

We have a lot of fun at Halloween, we put deco's outside to scare the kiddies..all in good fun....the kids love it.
This yr I am planning on dressing up to greet the kids, I haven't decided what kind of costume yet. But, probably something a zombie or a witch, not sure yet, still abit early to think of it.
Fun thread ace!

[DeadJonas190]

I had a friend ask me to do the make up so he could be Kakihara from Ichi the Killer, so I need to work on getting the cut face prosthetics made (I had a friend show me how to do a lot of effects, I have not yet perfected the art form, but am working on it) so I will be doing that earlier and then I plan on being a zombie or a person in the stages of turning into a zombie.

Trying to complete my colonial marines(aliens) costume for this year. It may not happen because I started a few other projects at the same time and they're dragging out.

If it doesn't work out, I always have my paranormal investigations and elminations costume to fall back on!:cool:

movie props and costumes isn't a cheap hobby, that's for sure. You should see how much i'm sinking into a new Ghostbusters proton pack. It will be roughly two grand by the time i'm finished...

[acealive1]

i may just get motocross equipment and spray it myself with some cheap stencils. or visit the old armory :D:D:D

I'm just a fan. It's nice having replicas to populate my man cave. Especially when people come over and appreciate it.

[acealive1]
