What should I be for Halloween?

Asked by rawrgrr (1568points) October 19th, 2009

I’m tired of the silly “Scary” costumes they sell in stores. Lots of people get the same costume and as you get older it starts to get a little lame.

I want to dress up as something funny this year. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

One day my friend had no money for a Halloween costume so he got a garbage bag and cut holes in it for arms and head and called himself a Douche bag. Haha.

This question has been asked a couple of times already this year, but my favorite was when my daughter put a butcher knife through a box of Cheerios and called herself a Cereal Killer

Be a nun (or if you are male, a pastor). You will be appreciated for your sense of irony.

You could adopt deni’s abandonned Sloth idea.

“In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut, and no other girls can say anything about it. The hard-core girls just wear lingerie and some form of animal ears.”

Halloween in a nutshell.

This year, I’m going to a party as “The Berlin Wall.” I’m wearing a shirt and letting people write on it all night, and I intend on getting progressively smashed and destroyed as the night goes on :)

This only works if you can find a partner to team up with.

My wife and I were going to go as Carl Spackler & the gopher from Caddy Shack. My wife is sick of all the sexy costumes for women so we wanted to do something different, but it’s not happening so you can have our idea.

Costumes have greater power in numbers. Get friends to go in on a theme
Road Warrior is always a good theme.

Im going to answer by telling a story. My brother, when he was single, threw alot of parties, especially themed ones. He had a roommate who would join in the fun. One Halloween, they decided to give out prizes at their party for best costume. They were for 1st or 2nd place. I am not sure what they were. My brother gets a flamboyant silk shirt and pants, has someone do his eyebrows real feminine like, gets a rather large Tigger, dies it white, sews teeth into its mouth, then attaches said rabid white Tigger to his shoulder, with the mouth attached looking like it is taking a bite of him. Then he gets fake blood and puts it all over himself and part of the Tigger to go as a gay tiger tamer. His roommate gets a priest outfit, with a Muppet like little child doll, and attaches said doll to the outfit with arms stretched out and face stuck directly on his crotch. This is all a couple of months after the Siegfried and Roy incident, and also child molesting priests were very much in the news. The roommate won 1st, my bro won 2nd.
