Last time in Hallowe'en costume??

[shootingstar]

It's been ages....I don't dress up for hallowe'en at work. Though a few employees voluntarily on their own, do it.

Let's see, for me, that would have been nearly 18 yrs. ago. I guess our social circles are quiet at around Hallowe'en. Or maybe we should do a Hallowe'en costume ride....if one could see in the dark..

Every year I answer the door dressed and talking like a witch. When I work on Halloween day, I dress as a witch. It's just so easy. But I usually take the day off to get the yard ready. We do a crazy job of it to entertain all the kiddies....

This year we have 2 halloween parties to go to, one that night at which we are supposed to be comic book characters, and for the other, our friend has said my sexy little demon/devil costume will be perfect if DH dresses as something religious. He's decided on hare krishna.

We've had fun over the years dressing up with our friends and hitting the town. We won prizes at several bars a few years in a row. Too much fun!!

oh - any suggestions on the comic book characters would be great.

Hugs and butterflies,

Long time ago. But this year I'm going to dress up--my front porch and myself! There are alot of kids in my new neighborhood and so I want to create something that they might remember. Plus, it'll be fun. I bought costume parts and tacky decorations over the weekend. I'm going to decorate on Friday morning. I've never decorated any house or apartment I've lived in. This will be a first.

You would be cute as Marmaduke, the Great friendly Dane dog. Or Bambi, as Fred flinstone's kid... Not sure if you're allowed to carry that caveman club..

By the way, my partner was up in your area a few wks. ago. On cycling matters.

My last time in costume was 2002 at a friend's Halloween Party in Rhode Island. I was a Jack-o-Lantern. I'll post the pic - I suppose it's better than the time I went to a co-worker's party dressed as a Playboy bunny - complete with fishnet stockings and high heels. They still talk about THAT one! Gads...I was bold (and skinnier) then!

i went to a party last year wearing my regular leather jacket, my dogs collar and carrying a riding crop.
Great excuse to whip men with a stick.

one year i dressed up as the creature from the black lagoon and sat out on my porch. Kids just thought I was a stuffed thing. Scared the bejeezus out of them when I moved.
I quit when I drove one little girl to near hysterics

My work is crazy about Halloween. This year we are going as 80's prom goers. Last year we were panhandlers, you know the begging "homeless" on the corner by our office.

Yesterday afternoon at a nearby 5k (I'm in the middle)


and later on that night at a Superheroes/villains costume party. I went as Rogue from X-Men and The Boy is dressed as Professor Chaos from South Park.

Did anyone see the Baby Blues cartoon strip in today's (Sunday) paper? Zen's adventure sounds similar. I nearly fell off my chair when I read it.

I tried to post the link but they don't have it up on their web site yet.

Darrell, the dad sets himself up as a pumpkin headed straw man in a chair outside the front door. His wife has reservations, but he thinks it will be fun to jump up and suprise the kids. However, these days, most kids are accompanied by mothers...And mothers carry mace...

Last Weekend at the Hilly Hundred


I dress up every Halloween as a witch and pass out goodies to the neighbourhood kids. I don't have a porch light so I usually sit outside with a candleabra. The kids are getting older but they look for me every year.

any suggestions on the comic book characters would be great.

Hugs and butterflies,

If you find a witch hat in red and possibly a red tunic/robe, there's always Wendy the Good Witch from Casper the Friendly Ghost...

I was going to be a yard gnome for Hallowe'en, but my beard isn't growing fast enough. . .

[shootingstar]

Am such a dud. (What type costume would that be???)

At a Hallowe'en dance years ago, there was a good costume where somone wore a black long sleeved lyra top and black tights. Multi-coloured balloons were blown up and she was all wrapped up in clear plastic with a big bow around her neck. She was ..a bag of jelly beans!

One wondered how she went to the washroom. And how hot it became when she was dancing for an hr. or so. but she did win a prize.

Her dance partner won 2nd. His head was the decapitated head on a table of ghoulish stuff. He put his head through a long piece of cardboard...which became the table "smorgasbourd". Dancing around with the cardboard table sticking out at least 3 ft. long.

Zen, you look different in get-up compared to cycling gear. But what would I know ..being on the Internet.

OK, I'm a spoiler. I think Halloween is for kids...
Really, I don't understand why adults get into this. I never minded giving out candy, but now we live in a neighborhood where we don't see anyone. I guess those kids don't want to climb the hill!

[Aggie_Ama]

Crankin- Hadn't done it for years until I got this job!

We are one of the few true neighborhoods in my town. Most are large acreage lots spread out or gated. Last year I did not realize we would be the "park 'n treat" stop for the entire area! I was not appreciative since I only bought enough candy for about double the size of our tiny neighborhood and we had probably 5-7 times that. They also kept knocking after the lights were turned off- in the entire house. This year I am buying more candy but the cheap stuff, not to be a grinch (or the halloween equivalent) but I can't afford the brand name candy for several hundred kiddos.

It's been years and years for me. The last time was when DH and I first got together and some of his friends were having a party. I dressed as a worm on a fish hook. He was a wall plate with an on/off toggle. Together we were - get it? (Nobody at the party did) -
