Your best Halloween costume/ideas
 

Im going to a Halloween costume party for the first time in many years. There are prizes for the best costumes and I am looking for something original this year. Any ideas of costumes and tips on how to construct or where to buy would be great! What were some of your best costumes or costume ideas?

(Of course, maybe people have new ideas since last year).

Wear just jeans, no shirt, no shoes. "I'm a premature ejaculator, I just came in my pants."

Tape a can of mixed nuts to the crotch of your pants, with the top facing the fly. "I'm a psychopath. I'm fucking nuts"

alex from a clockwork orange
you and 3 friends do the president thing as seen in point break


wait ..are you a guy or girl..that would help

I'll let this one slide. It's a yearly thing, and a new year deserves a new thread.

Sorry Mr. Moderator...it was my first post. Thanks for letting it slide this time for I will try to search the past posts more often. I am a 29 year old guy and need something very clever this year. Im kind of leaning towards an eerie death, or hospital patient theme. I am open to other ideas however. Thanks for the replies so far!

How much money do you have to spend?

I would like to keep it at $200.00 or less.

Dressing up as Jesus is always fun. It probably won't win you a costume contest, but walk down the street a few blocks, and you'll have had more free shots from people inviting you into their home for shots than you got on your 21st birthday (at least that's how it worked out for me).

This year, still debating what I want to be, but leaning everywhere from a police officer to a pink-clad-pimp.

My all time favorite costume had to have been the girl I ran into last year who spent five hours covering herself in blue latex to get that perfect Mystique look, and damn did it turn out well!

Thats cool Kurty but the whole pimp thing has played itself out over the last few years. Maybe you should be a pimp that sells fetuses in a jar for a little twist. They can be discounted fetuses for sale for stem cell research directly delivered from your hoes. Reminds me of South Park a little, but it may work.

You could dress up as a Weapon of Mass Destruction. Although no one really knows what one looks like. Or, you could cover yourself with cotton balls and say you're Anthrax. Sorry, I've been watching too much CNN lately...

I really like that idea afterhours!!! /me puts jar and fetus on list of things to get before halloween comes around.

Hey stonegrody...thats kind of the angle that I was looking for. My current idea has me as a "BRAIN DONOR." I will dress up in a hospital gown and paint my face a pale blue. I will wear a toe tag and carry around a jar filled with yellow colored water (not piss) placing cauliflower or calf brains in the jar. Obviously that will substitute the "brain" theme. I will add blood colored bandages to my head with an autopsy scar going around the top part of the head. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! I do like the parody costumes...for example. One person dresses as a Morton salt container, and his date goes as a battery. "Asault and battery." Its a theme costume that could win at the local bars.

did that last year. it went over really well.

Hey Kurty, if you do it let me know about the response. Its kind of controvertial, but that is in the spirit of Halloween!

Well, this year I'm gonna be Joel Barish, in the PJs, from "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".

How many people across America do you think will dress up as OBL this year? Any?

I know that two of my brother's friends are doing that for the high school senior halloween celebration.

How bout dressing up so you look just like Halx? Might scare a few kids, but what the fuck, good for a laugh...

Definately a pirate or Rick James, since he is sort of a ghost now...

Put a baseball bat down your pants?

kurty: simple question, what do you do to dress up as jesus?
the free drinks seems to be the ticket.
Also I figure most girls already call me god so why not have them yell out "oh Jesus" for a change :D

Make sure to put it in the front and not in the back!

batman! *not original but a classic, nonetheless*

i love the premature ejaculation one. i'd do it if i could go without a shirt. afraid that's not on my approved list of physical happiness just yet. :)

I think i may go as a pirate with a steering wheel sticking out of my pants. "ARR! It drives me nuts!" ;)

LOL!!

Well, I grew out the beard (takes about a month for me), I bought a bit past shoulder length silverish/dark wig (around $30), went to Goodwill and bought a brown bathrobe, and a white bath robe ($5 for both), and took an old white cloth towel, and used it to make the sleeves on the white bath robe a bit larger, and an old pair of brown sandals/slippers. Carry a goblet, and tell everyone at the party's you're going to do your water to wine "trick", and ask them to turn around (yeah I know, stole it from southpark).

I'm going to a halloween party too and I'm having a hard time coming up w/ a costume. I'm female and last year I was a playboy bunny and my SO was Hugh Heffner. People really liked that although my SO didn't like the excessive attention I was getting.

My SO mentioned being bikers this year.. but I dont like that idea. He also just mentioned Trump and his wife. We may just do that.. Hmmmm...

I do like the pirate idea for a guy tho. And the brain donor lol Good stuff.

My wife's idea last year for me was to go as Roy (the white tiger Vegas dude) with a stuffed white tiger attached to my neck and have some fake blood running down. I thought it was a great idea but by the time she got it it was too late to get it all together. Maybe it's not too late to do it this year.

why not reverse it this year - have him go as the bunny and you go as hef

try this out for some inspiration
- follow family guy/ "death" during the 70's....jsut get a scream costume and wear the afro...never seeen it been done yet but thats what i plan on doing this year :cool:

Halloween Costume Ideas...

So this year I'm going to be in Denver again for Halloween. I've got a weekend chalk packed with parties. The problem is that I always have a lame costume... This year will be different (I hope). I need something PHENOMENAL. I need something that everyone will be talking about for days! :) Cost isn't really an issue, but I'd rather not get some stupid prefabbed costume from a shop. I need something truly unique and creative... So, anybody got any suggestions for something truly unique and AWESOME?!?????? I need something that does not restrict my movement too much because I will be going to several house parties and several nightclubs this halloween weekend where I'd like to fairly mobile!!! The parties will be adult parties, so something obscene or outrageous is perfectly ok! (I remember last year one of my friends showed up at a party dressed as a Catholic priest with a fake little boy-doll with it's head in his crotch with a fake dick in it's mouth). That was awesome :thumbsup: hehe ideas? suggestions?! thanks!

this thread will take you to other threads also that have lots of ideas

my vote is of course Alex from A Clockwork Orange

I'm probably going to dress as my avatar this Halloween (Mickey from Snatch).

Shouldn't be tooo expensive.

Other idea's:

I think gas masks are really cool, so, anything involving a gas mask is automatically nominated.
Really go for a good pirate, watch POTC a few times, and you'll be all set.
Eric Draven(chiche?)

Jeans, boots, country shirt, black cape, Vader mask, cowboy hat.

Darth Brooks

mullet, mustache, vintage, or ripped shirt, cheap beer can in hand, and sweat pants with urine stain on crotch

I had a friend dress up as a giant egg roll one year. He used a bunch of matress foam to make the roll with a hole for his face and arms. By the end of the night though his coordination wasn't what it was before (shots will do that to you) and he kept falling over, so its probably not a good costume if you have trouble with agility (or holding your liquor).

Well, you asked for ideas, so here's mine: Marty McFly Jr. from Back to the Future: Part II. I guess this idea pressumes you allready have an established apprectiation of BTTF or at least general sci-fi. Anyhow, on to the costume. First, a pair of denim jeans, pockets inside out. Next, a pair of Nike Air Huaraches (close as you can get to 2015's Nike's w/ power-laces). The jacket is optional; Try for something black and red with lots of pockets. Finally, the best part of the costume; The Lenticular Cap. I look forward to sporting this outfit later this month. :)

Sorry, no children allowed


This would make you super cool with the ladies!

omg! that is priceless.


My name is Andre, so I think I am going to go as Andre from Outcast... the idea came to me in a drunken stuper last night.

I may change my mind.

I've personally benn thinking about finding somebody with black and red body paint, some brushes, and a steady hand to paint all of Henry Rollins' tattoos on me, then go around in a pair of black boots and black shorts...shave the head (maybe almost) bald and we're off to the races!

I just got these pics in my email, Let's just say they'll all NSFW.

^^^^^^ Penis man has an orb on his right shin... maybe this one belongs on the paranoia board - they'll be all over it.
:thumbsup:

Wonder if they will come out with the mask from jigsaw from saw?

Sometimes the most subtle ideas are the better ones. I had a buddy who came to a party wearing a full length set of black tights with dozens of fluffy little toy baby chickens glue to it. You guessed it: He was a "chick magnet."

I also saw one guy who cut out two massive peieces of green foam in the shape of a pine tree air freshener, attached them to each other and cut holes in one side for his head and arms. Written across the chest in bold letters was "Pine Fresh." The best part, however, was that he had SOAKED the thing in pine scent. It was hilarious watching him walk up to a group of people and twist back and forth to disperse the scent. The reactions were priceless.

Last year I went to work as a hologram a-la Red Dwarf. Just made a silver 'H' out of cardboard and duct-tape and glued it to my forehead. I'm a software-engineer so I'm surrounded by geeks and about a third of them got it. When I went out that night, however, the ratio dropped significantly.

If you haven't seen Red Dwarf it was a low-budget Brittish sci-fi comedy where 'H' meant hologram.

My original idea for a costume (Ziggy Stardust) this year floundered last week and I was nervous that I wouldn't find another idea in time. Halloween at Kent State is a huge deal, so I needed a costume that was neither cliche nor lame. My fate was saved by my father's extensive collection of ridiculous clothing ranging from the mid-1950's on up through the late 70's. While pawing through tye-dyed tuxedos, red-white-and-blue seersucker suits and plaid bell-bottoms, I came across none other than a pair of dark red riding chaps. And I am now...The Marlboro Man. So always keep in mind the lost relics of our elder's closets.

What parties in Denver?

last year i went as a nerd. pulled my pants up to my ribs, got a bow tie, hung toilet paper out the back of my pants, messed up the buttons on the shirt, and taped the nose of my glasses.

The most orginal that I saw last year: take a cardboard box, cut it to make it look like an end-table that you can stick your head up through. Then glue condoms onto the top, and any other bedroom-like things onto it as well. It's a one-night-stand!

Joking, right?

A good friend of mine had the best idea I have seen yet. He wrapped himself in rope from his ankles to the top of his sholders and went as a hostage. He had to jump around all night cause his legs were wrapped together and he was completely dependent on a straw and the charity of other party goers to get a drink.

You should be the emperor from "The Emperor's New Clothes."
P.S. When in junior high, I put on a red/black flannel button-up shirt, a wolf-mask, and some hairy hands. I'd be the Wolf Man, and when I'd get hot, I'd take off the mask and hands and then I'd be Al Borland from Home Improvement! It was genius!

Frank

hint: go watch Donnie Darko

last year i saw 2 good ones;
one dude was a web surfer, he dressed up like a regular surfer - a wetsuit top and zinc on his nose but under his arm he held a keyboard instead of a surfboard and covered himself in cotton webbing.
another guy was a "one-night-stand"
he had a flat circle piece of cardboard on his head drapped in blue fabric. he super glued a small lamp and an alarm clock to the top of it - a night stand, and handed out condoms all night. it was brilliant!

I dont think anyone said this yet, but this year I am going as a Ron Jeremy PEZ dispenser, and instead of giving out pez, I'll give out condoms :)

The only one I know of is the one my bar is throwing on the 30th. Feel free to stop by. Skylark Lounge 140 S Broadway.

Pizza the Hut from Spaceballs. :P

Last year I was Spongebob Squarepants. Got two pieces of cardboard and glued a bunch of yellow sponges to them, and wore yellow shirt/pants with yellow kitchen gloves. It turned out pretty well, but was a bit hard to move in, though i'm just glad it didn't rain! :)

I was wanting to do the Jack in the Box guy, but trying to make it would be a bit much this year. So, i've settled on being a snowman. Got a bunch of that "snow" material used for Christmas displays, and i'm going to attatch that to a bunch of clothing and a ski mask I got for my head. I've also got a top hat and will put buttons on the mask for the mouth. A bit cheesy, but it should be ok.
At least i'll be able to move around this year. Still hope it doesn't rain though. :D

put a pot on your head & go as a pot head

When I was younger I dressed up as a fried egg. Just cut a large white sheet with a peice of yellow felt in the middle for the yoke. No one knew what i was. It didn't work out that well. :)

I remember seeing a picture of a guy that dresssed up as a photo negative.

He put black grease paint or something ( I imagine finding something non-transferable/easy to clean would be better than grease paint) on all of his exposed skin. He also temporarily dyed his beard, hair, and eyebrows a frosty white, and wore a white tux coat with a black dress shirt underneath and white shoes.

It was completely, and utterly, awesome.

...if you go like that you'd be mistaken for any good ol boy from most parts Texas, where folks live in old trailers & have a butt load of car carcasses around the <ahem>yard. Oh ya, the beer needs to be a Lone Star or a Pearl.

Halloween Costume Ideas.
 

Hey guys and gals! I did a search to see if there were any great ideas for Halloween costumes (whether it be homemade or store-bought) and I couldn't seem to find any threads. So, Halloween is coming up and I was wondering what you're going to dress up as and if anyone has any cool ideas I might be able to borrow! I'm thinking a funny costume is probably best, but share all your ideas or what you're going to be. Also, any links to ideas or pics are appreciated. :thumbsup: Happy Halloween!

A giant bong.

Duff-man!

Wear a name-tag such as God or Devil

I'm thinking about going as a jesuit. Not sure how easy it is to get a cassock, though.

I know this is such an old one, but:
Lose the shirt, and say you came in your pants.

GET IT? GET IT? HAHAH

Im buying an inflatible sheep and fixing it to my pants. I will be a perverted sheppard.

I'm not sure how I'm going to do it, but I'm hoping to go as a karaoke machine. Perhaps I'll hook up a tape recorder + boombox + mike +discoball all together, with a bunch of batteries.

Best Halloween idea iever:

I'm going as my rogue from World of Warcraft, daggers and all.

I still think the pregnant nun is a good one. was funny in high school!

Halloween is one good reason for the many medieval/wench outfits I have. Nothing like having a saucy wench at a party, thats not wearing a *cheap* wench outfit, but one that makes me look like I'm serious about being the best wench possible :lol:

Last year, a friend of mine went as a pinata. He wore bright colored clothing that matched parts of a real pinata that he could actually wear. He stuffed his pockets full of the cheap Mexican candy and would throw it around all night.

I'm probably going to out myself as being really old -- but the best halloween costume i ever came up with -- came directly out of my closet (finally a good use for an ugly satin bridesmaid dress and crinolines) Cyndi Lauper was the l ook of the moment and it was fun... thankfully i couldn't do her voice.

the only thing purchased was hair paint to give me pink and blue highlights.

I would pay big money to see a picture of that Mal :lol:

This year, depending on if my hair grows out, I'm gonna do Napoleon Dynamite or Strongbad.

My roommate (very white Irish gal) is going to be Michael Jackson, I'm going to accompany her as a young boy, and my other roommate will follow along as the boy's mother, who will stuff monopoly money she receives from Michael into her overflowing purse throughout the evening.

Will there be touching? :lol: :crazy:
