My sisters and I all dressed up as Hindu women with the saris and veils, and went as "Three Sari biatches"

Can't think of many of my own costumes that really stand out in my mind ... But I went to a Catholic High School. Uniforms, monks, priests, the whole bit ... and one Halloween, one of the priests, Father Anthony, came dressed as the Devil ... horns and all

For some strange reason ... that one does stick out in my mind ...

I stapled socks to my clothes and went as "static cling."

Best:
An orange road cone

Last year I couldn't decide if I wanted to dress up as Jesus nailed to the cross,lots of dutch reform psychos in west Michgan, or Grimmace from McDonalds. So this yea I thought ahead and decided to go as Grimmace nailed to the cross dressed up like Jesus. Man is this going to be offensive.....

Fark a Duckk

Best: Went to work dressed as a woman one year and almost gave some guy a heart attack when he walked in the men's room and I was standing at a urinal.

I just chaperoned at a Halloween Lock-In where I teach, and I dressed up as a school girl, complete with a plaid skirt, blouse and a wig. I made quite a striking girl, despite the adam's apple and the hairy shins. But to top it off, I wore some Billy Bob buck teeth, so when someone came up to me and said, "Hey Baby" or something like that, I'd smile and flash my nappy teeth. Amidst all the grim reapers and ghosts, I think I ended up having the scariest costume at the lock-in...

Best/worst: Cyberwarrior: Black bodysuit; black shoulder plate and chain mail sections, 30 pound chaingun arm, cannisters on back filled with dry ice and water that vented mist through tubes. I airbrushed my face to give it a mechanical appearance. The total costume was about 75 lbs of unequally distributed weight. On the first night that I wore it to a Halloween party, I stepped into an unseen ditch and messed up my ankle.

Best: I dressed up the grim reaper, only I looked like the guy from "Scream" before there was such a thing as "Scream", I had the mask, it was r0x0r. Instead of a knife I had a scythe. I scared people. It was good times.

Worst: Every other year. :/

I went as a motorcycle outlaw and people asked me why I didn't dress up. Real eyeopener as to how people perceived me at other times.

They weren't very original but one year I dressed up as a french maid (i thing that one got me a raise) and a Catholic school girl the next (I think that one got me my husband). Oh, and "sexy witch" one year. Demeaning to women? Maybe, but hey, when you got, while you got it, flaunt it.

I kid not, my current college roomate put on a sombrero a pancho, and smeared gnutella (sp?) on his upper lip and went to his fraternity (not frat because you woulnd't call your country your coont(atleast thats what he says)) as Dirty Sanchez.

I usually dress up like a 6 foot tall fat ugly loser for halloween, its really easy, I put on a shirt and some pants.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Nice paste job Farkeater. We had people in #fark asking what was wrong with the thread :P.

Best: A werewolf complete with theatric style make-up.

Worst: The same costume. Let me to explain...No, not enough time. Let me to sum up: It was so realistic, my friend tried to pull my "mask" off, only to pull off a bunch of fur that was corn-syruped to my face. I got pissed and tried to kick his ass, but a teacher stopped me and I got detention.

personal best... I'd have to say was in college, when I went as "Night". I wore a crescent-moon mask, and attached glow in the dark stars all over my black pants and shirt. But I think the funnest part of that party was when I stripped nekkid and juggled torches on the front lawn!! then a cop showed up. but it was okay because he was busy talking to Gumby, so I didn't get arrested or anything. man was I drunk, though. hehehheehe

I guess my worst would be once when I was a little kid, I decided I wanted to be a "clown ghost". I wore a sheet with eyes cut out, and on my head, my mom put a bunch of colored construction 'curls' because we were too cheap to buy a wig. and we drew a clown face on the sheet around the eyes. there's a picture of it somewhere... now, it looks stupid to me. but I guess I had fun then.

hey, Galadriel, flaunt it for us!! let's see some pics!!

:)

BOOBIES!!

:P~~~

Mmm... Nutella is actually quite good. That is a great picture, though. Where'd you find that picture, Parkay?

Best: A nun. I was bouncing at a friend's party about an hour away from where I was living. I stopped shaving for a week and I had borrowed a big leather elbow-to-wrist armband covered in 1" spikes.

When we got back home the next day, hung over as hell, our roommate comes up and says "Guys! This is so funny, my friends were at ISU, and they went by this house party, and there was an enormous nun bouncing at the door." The best part was, she didn't know it was me.

Or the zombie punk on acid. That was a fun party.

Google image search...it ownz

I dumped a bowl of cheese on my head and...


went as NACHOS!

Most controversial:
Dale Earnhart (post mortum) with blood and cuts all over.

Also,
JFK, Jr. (post mortum) with a propeller sticking out of my body.

Heh, Wazir. The ghost clown reminds me of the time both my kids went trick-or-treating as dead clowns (their idea... I laughed my ass off). They must've been about 3 and 6. They wore these skeleton sweats, skeleton masks, and clown wigs.

My sister and her husband have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years so last year they went as a sperm and an egg.

A friend's son went as a dead construction worker.

among the Best: Model from the Robert Palmer videos, "Death" from Neil Gaiman's SANDMAN, and a couple-costume where we dressed as Thing One and Thing Two from THE CAT IN THE HAT.

Worst: ET. I was 11, my mom had sewed the costume which was cute as hell, but it was about 4 inches thick of quilting batting. I could barely breathe or move, it was like being swaddled in 20 lbs of blankets.

Best: Bob Ross (won $1500 in a costume contest too)

Worst: raised the height of one shoe 2" and wore a hose around by shoulder bandolier-style to a 'Pimp and Ho' party. I was 'Limp and Hose.' Get it? Yeah, neither did anyone else. Oh yeah, this was 2 days ago.

my fav: I was Voltron in 1st grade (the lion one, no the gay space vehicle one) in one of those little pasltic jump suit costumes. i ruled, until I split the crotch in them. Damn.

Best: A friend and I went as Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley from KISS. I even had fake blood dripping from my mouth. Not very sexy or girly I guess...but we didn't care about that stuff at the time.

Worst: not mine, but when I was little, there was a snowstorm one year on Halloween. So in order to go trick-or-treating, my brother & I had to wear winter coats with our costumes. He was going as "The Karate Kid" -- he had even painstakinly copied the headband design and the bonsai-tree design on his karate outfit from the movie. But with a big puffy coat under his costume, he looked more like a little sumo wrestler. He cried for hours and didn't even want to go trick-or-treating.

I went as OJ's knife. I stand about 6'2, and the tip of the blade was about 7 1/2 feet high. I had fake blood all over it. The top half was silver fabric and the handle was brown cardboard. I wrote "GINSU" on the edge for kicks.

In kindergarten I had one of those cheap-ass plastic Boba Fett costumes. I don't care if the other kids had complex and original homemade costumes, I should've won that contest--I was farking BOBA FETT!

Sorry, Wazir, unfortunately, there is no solid evidence that I know of. Jason and I were just lamenting that fact, I think maybe he was lamenting it a little more than me though. ;-)
(Except maybe the security camera tapes, I think there is a possiblity that the owner kept them.)

A few friends of mine went as the WTC. I went as an airplane.

I'd run around the party all night knocking them on their asses.

Hillarity ensued.

Best:
Leeloo from "Fifth Element". I hand sewed the damn thing after breaking a sewing machine needle. I bought a thick canvas like cotton cloth, sewed it into straps, and then sewed all the straps and the makeshift panties together. It turned out really great, except the collar piece kept coming un-velcro'd and then the top strap would drift downward (showing too much skin).



Worst would be the year after year that I went as either a slut or an undead slut...I had the costume and didn't have to put forth any work. The makeup rocked when I was undead though, as I learned a trick for making realistic looking wounds using unflavored gelatine and paint.

Best: I'll have to post pics of this one. My brother and I went as Dark Jedi. We spent a week making his costume and designing a spiffy facial tattoo. He didn't know I was going to dress up too and when he showed up, I was all decked out like Darth Sidious. We pulled it off fairly well. Also, a buddy of mine wanted to be Rob Zombie last year so I did the makeup while my sister dredlocked his hair and made it look old and slightly grey. It turned out really well with his white-out contact lenses.

Worst: Hmm.. That's a hard one. I would think that every year up to the one where my Mom didn't force me to be whatever she wanted would be the worst. There are too many to name. Mostly I just got to wear my Karate Gi around and she would tell everyone I was a Kung-Fu expert (?!?)

I tried to include pictures and they didn't show up :( Trying again. If they don't go this time, I give up.

I guess this is less of a discussion and basically a place to post their costume history.

Damn, I hate to say it Drew, but you suck! I hate when the chaperone's try to get candy too!

Best: Priest doing the whole "liquor-run" thing. People thought I was actually a priest until I went into a video store of ill-repute.

Worst: Bare-chested army commando with the word "patches" written on my chest. Don't ask. fark it was cold.

BEST: I went as a mangled vetrinarian (sp). Most of the people in my neighborhood were P.A or had their own practicies so I got the scrubs for free. Icky I know. My cheek was mangled up,I had bloody slash marks going down my back. I had syringes stuck all in me (not really in me mind you) and the back of my head was bloody. I won best costume my Senior year in college. The prize: a weeks worth of free eats in the cafeteria.

WORST: Vampire cow. Don't ask. :p The Psych department was raising money to re-do the study rooms and bathrooms (same thing I know)so we sold candy grams. Since I had three Psych classes that day I had to deliver the grams all freaking day too. Several of the classes I stormed into literally stopped and the professors kicked me out.
After about an hour the utters hanging off of the suit started to drag to the ground. My face paint began to smear a bit so I looked more like a zombie. Then my cap got wet and was frazzled at the end and my black Chuck Taylors were worn out. Oh yeah it wouldn't stop raining . :p By 5pm I look like shiat, the candy grams were delivered and campus security had me on watch.

I won a prize for dressing as a tornado. I also won a prize with my wife when we dressed as Peaches & Herb. (we're white). ...you can decide which is best or worst.

Hmm, best would have to be either the IRS man or Sherlock Holmes (I colored some tape and called it a moustache). Both went over really well with adults but my peers just didn't get it. Uncultured youth.

Worst: I once made bat wings out of carboard and strapped them to my back. No change of clothes, no makeup. Just wings. Attatched with red ribbon.

Worst: Mom attempted to make me a C3PO costume out of this weird golden vinyl stuff - totally dorky, had to tell every single person who I was. Sorry mom.

Best: I love doing the Professor Gumby character from Monty Python (as featured in the "Brain Surgeon" sketch.)

Best...Elvira, Mistress of the Dark...big boobies and everything. I have a pic somewhere, but I'd say it is best to not show that one... :)

Worst...hmmm...not sure...

Heheh one year me and my friends were all bored on halloween and we were about 17 or so- too old to trick or treat! riight!
anyways, we tucked our arms into our jackets and went as mangled war veterans- it woulda been alot less amusing if i hadn't constantly yelled out "CHARLIE'S IN THE TREES! SPRAY THE TREES!"
Ah memories...

Best: I'm 6'4'' and I went as little red riding hood complete with a little white basket filled with "cookies for my grandma"

Worst: A bunch of grapes when I was little

Best: Sheet over my body with red stains all over it...red sweats...pillowcase over my head with a wire sticking out of the top...a sign around my neck that said "WARNING: MAY CAUSE TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME". Yes, I was a used tampon (but I told my boss I was a bloody ghost, and he believed me...DORK!). 2nd best - nun (see, because I'm a guy...HAW HAW HAW!).

Worst: JiffyPop popcorn. The popcorn kept spilling out of the foil...what a mess.
