Anybody still dress up for Halloween?

Meh, infinitely superior to the people that leave a porch light on and a small sign that says "No Trick or Treaters Please.  God Bless!"  that can't be seen until you're about to knock and then have the audacity to yell at you when you tear their sign down. 

Oh, did I interrupt your holier than thou "watch those poor kids trundle up to my door and then leave confused while you mull their future in hell" masturbation session?

Oh, so very, very sorry to have ruined that for you.

For the second year in a row.

LOL.  In my defense, we lived on a somewhat busy county road, so all we ever got for trick or treaters were high school kids.

If I were a to really be a ---tallywhacker---, I would drop king size candy bars in kids bags, but underneath, slide in pamphlets that I raided from the hospital on contagious diseases like Hepatitis. For added effect, slightly dampen the pamphlet and write nothing but the word "sorry" on them.

If you wanna be a curmudgeon about it but wanna deflect some of the curmudgeon-ness away from you. Turn out all your lights. But, leave the porch light on with a nice big bowl and a sign that says: "Please Take One."

That way it looks like you put out candy, but some jack-ass swiped it all, win-win. BOOM!

yeah..then said rocks comes through my window

One year I got put in charge of stuffing the goodie bags.  Roughly 1 in 10 just had a handful of gravel in it.  Most importantly, they were distributed at a party in another neighborhood. 

Charles Schultz probably inspired more evil deeds than he ever knew.

No costume this year, but I spent $50 on candy and glowsticks so the little ---daisies--- better be satisfied.

Got the pumpkin carved last night.  It's only going to survive another 12 hours, but that's all it needs:



Been lining up the dead soldiers for a month:



And here's what one looks like with a glow stick shoved in it:



These will inhabit my hedges tonight.

It takes a special talent to make TP rolls look scary.

[pbj]

Yeah, well, as far as those rolls are concerned you already missed the truly scary part.

Not sure if I'm going to bother painting them all or not.  The paint does dry almost instantly, and it'll look better.  We'll see.     

[eds1275]

I had grand plans to be pyramid head from Silent hill, complete with stilts. I'm only 5'7 so the idea of being tall for once is very appealing. But the rain.... it's been going on for too long and will continue on tonight, so I've put together a quick and dirty optimus prime costume. Pictures to follow. We're having a few gaming competitions, one is Fibbage for Xbox One, and then Shuffleshot Bullseye and World Class Bowling.

[pbj]

Ended up having a small party.  One (and only one) friend showed up in costume, another one showed up and got totally smashed.  His girlfriend gave him a good thrashing and then I got to hear about it from my wife after he left.  So, success, their first fight is my fault.

About 70 trick or treaters.     Given how much some of them were freaking out over a glowstick AND candy I imagine a few were repeats.

The hedge decorations were disappointingly dim but oh well. 

 

[DeLuSioNal29]

I was Tony Stark last year (as himself).  My GF had the bright idea to wear a suit over the glowing shirt which made it unique...

The year prior to that I went as Captain Kirk and she was Uhura.  This year we went as Fitz and Olivia Pope from Scandal.  LOL.

Youre married pbj.  You should know by now everything is your fault.  Even when it isnt.

I dressed up for the first time in about 25 years, and went out.. tore it up on the dance floor for a few hours, then my son showed up after he got off work dressed up as Danny Zuko and we barhopped until we hit a local hotspot for Karaoke where he grabbed some girl and went up and sang Summer Nights.. was a total blast.. My girlfriend went as Red Riding Hood and I went as the big bad wolf dressed in grandmas nightgown.. Dancing in a club "rave style" for 3 hours in a full costume like that, over my regular clothes, was a bit warm, but there was enough beer to keep me comfortable.  I suppose I could post a picture later....

[Mitkraft]

..... I suppose I could post a picture later....

"Or it didn't happen" as they say 

[dkersten]

Me and the GF just before heading out


At the club, some random chick jumped in the shot, I was fine with it, lol..


Me, the GF, and my son


And a shot of the back of his jacket later that night.  He has a friend who did the set and costume designs for a Grease production, so he got the jacket, shoes, belt (buckle off to the side) and was taught how to do his hair, it was pretty cool.

[pbj]

Nice.  I wore my t-shirt with GW Bush stenciled on the back of it.  "the scariest thing I own"

That's pretty funny.  The rips on her clothes look like she got mauled by the big bad wolf.

[Mary_Baker]

No, not me and even if I tried, I'd be as creative as a blind bat; would probably dress myself up in an old pillow cover with holes for eye holes and walk around!  My son and his gang of pals love to dress up though and my husband enjoys it as much (if not more); he's the one doing up all the costumes and all for the kids. This year, the son was so besotted with the Penguins of Madagascar movie that he went trick-or-treating in a Penguin costume ('Kowalski' to be more precise, ahem...!), replete with an orange beak and all!

[Le Chuck]

Not much of a penguin without the beak ya know. Details make the costume. That's why when I was Archer I was not sober. Details.

Here it is. Next year I plan on having Kuato from Total Recall coming out of my stomach!

I had a friend with a huge hernia.  We all called the hernia Kuato.  The friend died.

Sorry a bout your friend though.
