What's your costum?

[Luke.Skywalker]

I wanted to share with every one a costum that I have just made, and hear from others about there's.

 

A short explaination for why I did this:

My brother and I have a mobile DJ service and we had a dance to play at for the local YMCA. I was told at the last minute, roughly 32 hours before the dance, that it was a costum party. There was only one character I could think of to dress up as...Darth Vader!

 

What i used for the costum:

First the helmet. It was one of those new ones with the voice changer. With the simple removel of the cushion around the lenses I was able to fit my head into it. This thing was supprisingly on sale at Walmart for $3.00.

Next was the body suit. I knew I had to have something close to in the movie to make it look real. So I bought a black snow suit with the thermal interior. Then was the black leather gloves, which unforunatley was not long enough from the wrist up like Vader's. Next tall black boots that had no cushions or interior, but they did the trick. The rest was a cape, 12 feet of black cloth, black platic soap boxes, two different types of trash can lids, and what I had laying around my place.

 

The cape: Store bought cape with just a thick chain attached to the collar.

 

The Brest plate: Two trash can lids. One was for the kitchen, the lid was D shaped with a curve to it. I simply cut out an opening from the back to fit my neck in it. The second lid was one of those double side swivel lids. I cut the lid in half and screwed each one onto the side of the first lid. I then spray painted the lid with gray paint, and used black electric tape to mark the designs that are on it.

 

The Belt: A leather gun belt that I had for years turned backwards. I taped the soap boxes to both sides and super glued gray painted eraser heads and green squares on them to resemble the Belt's control boxes. The buckle was a peice of leahter with a D shaped piece of tin that I cut out and super glued on and tied it to the belt.

 

The inner robe: Vader does have an inner robe/tunic under his cape an breast plate. I cut the 12 foot cloth down to size to fit as a robe/tunic.

 

In a few hours with some imagination it came out pretty well. I will be getting the pictures back soon and when I do I will post a couple to show what it looks like completed.

My Hallowe'en costume? Same one I've been wearing the last about ten years: Drunk Guy in a silly latex Human Fly mask.

[Negative Sun]

I got a huge black robe and a black hood for halloween, and I'm gonna buy a Count Dooku lightsaber on Ebay as soon as I can afford it lol...I'm just gonna be your random Dark Jedi.

[HerbieZ]

Two choices this year. Either its go out dressed like a bloke with make-up on or wear my balaclava and tactical vest with p90 and full blown combat gear.

[Hallucination]

I'm working on an awesome pirate costume. I have a frilly white shirt that looks fantabulous, a bandana, I'm going to shorten some baggy green pants, and later I'm going to get fake rapier/scabbard (or I might 'borrow' my friend's scimitar) and a red sash. And one of my friends my be dressing up as a ninja, I'll have to challenge him to a duel. I'll try to get some pictures when it's done.

[Det. Bart Lasiter]

I'm gonna be a kid in a robe, t-shirt, and pajama bottoms sitting in an office chair posting on the internet and doing homework.

[The Doctor]

I'm going out and walking around town with friends, but we're not trick-or-treating per se. I'll be dressed up as the Fifth Doctor, complete with celery.

[Emperor Devon]

I'm too old for Halloween costumes and trick-or-treating, but that will by no means stop me from eating unhealthy amounts of candy.

[Samnmax221]

If its not too cold I'll probebly just hide in a bush a steal candy from 13 year olds who don't need the candy anyway.

[90SK]

I plan on going as whatever will hide the fact that I'm too old to go trick-or-treating. Maybe a ghost, or something.

[Q]

I don't care as long as I'm not what I was two years ago, namely drunk guy at the bottom of the mosh pit desperately (futilely) seeking his glasses.

[Jae Onasi]

I think I'll go as a doctor.

See, here's the way you handle it. Estimate how many kids will come to your door. Multiply by two. Buy two categories of candy: The stuff you want to give out (enough for all the kids), and the stuff you want to have leftovers of (in equal amounts to the stuff you give out). Of course, the leftovers have to be the stuff you happen to really like, like Snickers, Mounds, Reese's Peanut butter cups....

Suit yourself.

Or buy one, since the kids don't trick-or-treat where I live.

 

They shouldn't, anyway. I've discovered the terrible loophole of "trick or treat", in which they never say who the statement is addressed to. That means I can either do a trick for them or grab a fistful of their candy.

[RC-1162]

rofl! have you tried the latter any time?

[Emperor Devon]

Maybe.

 

In reality, no.

[The Doctor]

Sure, steal my costume.

That's a horrible plan!

 

Here's what you do, Sam: You steal the candy from the younger ones. The 13 year olds are less cute, and therefore get less candy. They're also harder to scare than the younger ones. Best age to aim for is 7 to 10 - easily scared, are old enough that not all of them will have adults with them, and get a decent amount of candy, since they still have that 'cute' aura about them.

 

Not that I would know or anything.

 

<.<

Really, I don't. I swear. STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!

[Jeff]

One idea my friends had was to get 26 people so we could be the alphabet and walk down the halls of the school spelling out obscene phrases or words... but dunno if that's gonna happen.

Oh, yeah, that'll go over brilliantly, especially at a Christian school.

Besides, you'd need some extras--2 S's, 3 N's, 2 I's, 2 U's, and 2 L's to make some of the better ones.

 

Sure, steal my costume.

 

*throws a TARDIS at Jae*

 

Hey, I said _a_ doctor, not _The_ Doctor. *sends TARDIS back in time just to be ornery*

[Hallucination]

I just learned that one of my friends is planning to dress up as Stephen Harper, which I find terrifying, and worthy of praise and sharing with the world... or at least all the Canadian's here.

[Samnmax221]

OH NO THey give it up when they see the bat! Or I could just wear my running shoes and do sntach and grab.

[CSI]

Me? I'm too old for that. Well, if I can, I think I'd wear like Darth Nihilus or a Wookie Jedi (Is there any Wookie Jedi Costume?)

 

[struck by a TARDIS: Hey, who threw a TARDIS at me?]

[stingerhs]

i'm just gonna wear my normal clothes, grab my 12 gauge, unload it, and then i'm gonna go scare some people.

 

 

 

 

 

nah, in all seriousness, i have to work on Halloween. however, i'm actually looking forward to it since the management decided that the employees could dress up (with some limitations). i think i'll go grab one of those tshirts that says, "This is my costume," and a pair of jeans and go on into work that way.

[Alkonium]

Well, if I don't have to work on Halloween night, I'll be dressed as the Grim Reaper, and I'm going to scare people to the point at which they soil themselves. Or at least scream rather loudly.
