So, whats everybody doing for Halloween?

odium

So what is everything up to this year? I always try and dress up in some way, its one of the only times of the year where you can get away with looking like a fool I've been Shaun of the Dead and Keith Lemon the last couple, this is this years get up. Any ideas:



So is anybody else doing anything or putting any effort in this year? I know a few polycounters are usually great at making costumes.

I'm going out to a load of pubs (UK man) and so I can't really carry one, even a plastic one, because of course the first thing I will do is try and rob somebody. Of course.

JonathanLambert

Is it illegal to carry a fake gun or is just not worth the potential hassle?

I wouldn't take the chance, some people has had their office raided because someone saw a someone walking into the studio with a prop gun, can't remember which studio.

Holy shit!

It's easy to forget how different the gun culture is in the U.S.

Typical weekend around my area:

I remember hearing that story or one just like it, if it was the same one then that studio happened to be above a bank... So I think that's where the issue was

Probably won't have time to make a costume this year because of work. Makes me sad, my friend has the best halloween parties. Here's my cardboard-ironman costume from last year though!

Here's a picture of my costume from last night:

Thanks. Yeah, I think it's a real claymore. I borrowed it from a girl dressed as Jon Snow for the picture. My sword is plastic.

TimPogson

Carved a little greentooth pumpkin!

Steve Schulze

Not the greatest photo (I'm entirely sober at this point, believe it or not), but it'll have to do until I track down a better one.

Shiniku

Awesome costumes guys! I really dig that Geralt outfit.

I'm dressing up as Dexter Morgan this year. I picked that just because I'm lazy and all I had to do was buy a shirt and gloves, heh. I went to a small party last Saturday, but aside from that I doubt I'll get out much. Nobody's really doing much on a Wednesday night.

JohnnyRaptor

awesome mean machine!

Torch

Not really something I'm doing for Halloween but thought I'd post it as its pretty incredible!

Selaznog

Hahah, great Dexter outfit. That's an awesome idea and I might steal it...though instead I'd probably go the Dark Defender route

reverendK

i just got back from walking my kids around the (very hilly) neighborhood. holy glob am I exhausted now. Ohh to have the energy to keep up with a four and five year old while carrying a 11 mo baby.

also: my greentooth pumpkin collapsed before i took a picture.

rolfness

I went to a Halloween party and realised I was the only asshole not in costume.. yes yes I couldnt be bothered..

Stinger88

How'd I miss this thread! Here's another of me.

I've been trying to work out why the Hunter (L4D) has duct tape on his limbs like that. Any theories? I dont think there's an official reason for the design.

Btw: rooster, your costume definately won the night. I'll plan better next time!
