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

MSD

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

afterhours2k4

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?

afterhours2k4

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!

afterhours2k4

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.

afterhours2k4

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.

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

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

MSD

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

Mizizing

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

Put a baseball bat down your pants?

Temporary_User

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

Asuka{eve}

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

carrot glace

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!"

kurty[B]

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).

StickODynomite

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.

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 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

Stare At The Sun

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?)

Ramega

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

Darth Brooks

sierrajunkie

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

mkultra

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).

toilet_duck

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.

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!
