What are you wearing for Halloween?

Just put together my Halloween costume. What are the rest of you going to be? Blood will be added on Halloween.

Nothing... all nude...

*cough* Great costume though!

what is it meant to be?

@alternate: He's Jacket from Hotline Miami.

Probably nothing, but when I have a kid one day I'm totally building him this.

What's Halloween? We don't have such a thing in good ol' Straya.

I'm going as Cucumber from Cucumber Quest. Half because it's one of my favourite webcomics and half because it's a pretty simple costume that I already have all the pieces for. BONUS HALF: it's a believable excuse for why I've been too lazy to get a hair cut.

A mask made out of another persons face.

Nothing. That's not specific to halloween though.

@mb: this is adorable and terrifying at the same time. Doing this for my daughter next year.

My security guard uniform, because I get to spend that evening making sure drunk costumed college kids don't kill each other/themselves at various parties.

Sexy Newt Gingrich.

What?

@brentasaurus: I'm also going as jacket, I just need to find a suitable jacket. Man it is pretty hard to find a cheap letterman jacket.

@dvsshark: Yeah, I ended up spending about $45 on mine. Would have been less, but I paid for express shipping to get it here in time.

A sexy cop stripper.

@brentasaurus: Do you think you'll get a lot of questions of who you are? The ones that do know will be thrilled by your costume I bet!

I go kinda crazy with costumes in October. I'm going as Sonic the hedgehog in a Superhero race on Saturday - is Sonic a superhero? We'll see if they kick me out of the race - and then going as a frozen-head-in-the-freezer on Sunday. The frozen-head piece I've been working on for the last couple of weeks. For Halloween I'll probably reuse one of my costumes I used earlier this month when I was a flapper:

I hope more people post pictures of what they're going to wear! It's great to see people's creativity and/or craziness.

I am going as the priest from City of the Living Dead. Simple costume but I can act all creepy and give people evil eyes.

@helvetica: My wife keeps telling me no one is going to know who I am. Hoping for that one person to flip their lid.

We did a roaring 20s part about a month ago, complete with rum runners and mint juleps.

More pics would be rad.

@brentasaurus: That would be totally worth it for the reaction! I bet they'll remember the costume, too. I was handing out candy to kids a few years ago and someone was dressed up as No Face from Spirited Away. Really well done costume. I don't believe most people knew who he was because he really perked up when I pointed out who he was and then he gave me this red block. He wins all the candy. I couldn't tell you what other costumes there were, but I remember that one.

Rum runners and mint juleps! I like your guys' style.

I will take a photo in full make up next week but I am going as a Mad Surgeon in scrubs with blood and a gross zipper face. (Google Halloween zip face)

My girlfriend is going as a nurse covered in blood, it was unplanned so that's a pretty great coinky-dink.

Maybe going as Gene Belcher from, Bob's Burgers, but I also have to work and theres no guarantee I will even get out before 1:30am.

I don't currently have it for a picture, but I'm going to a party in a fairly standard modern-looking Robin Hood getup. I didn't get too creative this year. It was last minute, it goes with what my girlfriend is wearing, and I don't really want to have to spend a whole night answering the question of who I am like I would if I dressed up as a favorite game character.

A towel.

@insane_shadowblade85: A dirty towel?

Yes; well, it was clean when I put it on.

I lost a bit of weight recently (just over a stone) so I'm juuuuust about small enough to pull off Poirot without being way too big for even him. Yeah, I'm still pretty big, oh well. I get to be my favorite Belgian detective for the weekend :D also the relatively low-effort version isn't going to be too hard to put together between payday (tomorrow) and friday. All I need to source is a bowler hat (yeah he wears a Homburg but like I said, low budget and low effort), a dinner shirt and bow-tie, and a couple of fake moustaches to trim down. The rest I can cobble together from my graduation suit. Sorted.

Here is a costume I made a few years back. It had LEDs lining the whole thing, a working strobe light, a small digital photo frame with pictures of robots and circuitry, an etch-a-sketch, and a working iPod with speakers playing some chiptunes and EDM all night. I have it up as a decoration in my bar now. I was going to make a helmet, but I usually avoid masks (need to get booze in me somehow).

I may dress up as a unemployed grim reaper. Basically it the grim reaper cloak without his scythe, nothing too fancy. Otherwise I'll just wear a hockey mask.

I'm going to an actual Halloween party thing this year, so I think I have to at least try to dress up. I have a luchador mask so I might be using that. I'm not nearly jacked enough to be a pro wrestler, and no one knows anything about Giant Bomb so my theoretical Dave Lang costume would be wasted (it's basically a hoodie, White Sox hat, and hype attitude)

@cooljammer00: Yeah, I expect to just explain that I'm a murderer instead of jacket from Hotline Miami. I wish I could pull off a Lang-Zone costume and have people know what I am, but you'd really have to sell the hype machine and the constant pitches to port whatever anyone is talking about.

You could be Luchadeer, the word play along might make it work.

I'm going to a party Saturday dressed as a kid in a 90s video game ad.

Halloween is actually on a Friday so I can enjoy it. Don't have much time or creativity to put into a costume so I'm going to go as wrestling icon Mick Foley. All it really requires is not shaving, my old Cactus Jack T-Shirt, a red flannel shirt with the sleeves cut off, and sweatpants. An easy comfortable costume that is perfect for taking my nieces Trick r Treating and later hit a Halloween party.

If anyone has kids or is doing a huge favor and taking a friend/family member's kids out, ever Trick r Treat on behalf of an imaginary child who is far too sick to go out? I may be an adult but I still like free candy.

I was trying to put together a Hotline Miami costume too, but a button on Insert Coin's replica jacket snapped off. Got some sweet 80's jeans and hi tops though.

I'll just go as an Ebola victim instead.

I'm going as Randy Marsh

Business casual for work and then jeans and a t-shirt at night.

I get some type of animal onesie (kigurumi if you wanna be all anime about it) every year. This is based on the theory that there are only two types of Halloween costumes (funny/cute or sexy).

"Boi, YOU came as Dave Lang TOO? We're so GODLIKE! Get Bopped Son!"

Girlfriend is dressing me up as charlie chaplin. I should be okay as long as i don't take off the hat

pretty simple. I found this hat/hair thing that matches my hair exactly, so I'm just putting some greaser clothes on and going as a dirtbag (though not too dirtbag, I gotta tend bar and judge a costume party).

That's a dope Hotline Miami costume.

@nodima: you could say you are going as TJ Miller

I'm too cool for school, so I'll wear something stupid. No really, I don't like dressing up all that much. Best costume I had was one I stole from The Office. Wrote Book in my face...

I have a black and white striped super baggy shirt that looks alot like Sheldon's Doppler effect costume from The Big bang theory. Might just go as the Doppler effect since haven't had time/money to make anything.

Bruce Wayne! The brilliance will be in the subtle giveaways in my otherwise pedestrian shirt, suit, and tie that will give away that make a giveaway first impression that I'm actually Batman including but not limited a straight up minimalist utility belt.

Or at least that's the idea. I probably won't do anything for Halloween.

No costume for me. It's my little girl's first Halloween and we are dressing her up as a ladybug to drive around and visit family.

My PJs, all day! All weekend! All-yeah!

I'll post a picture when I make a last minute lame decision tomorrow! Laziness is fun.

Probably nothing because of work

I'm going to go as Dallas from Payday. I got this mask from comic-con a while ago when Overkill was announcing their game on psn.

I'm dressed up as Ness. Have the hat and shirt and jorts and a bat and the yoyo.
