Halloween!

[Veldryne]

ugh no, took about 3 hours to do all the fine work with a dremel and sandpaper lol, it was rough

[Manroon]

So I take it that means you won't do Oliver either, huh?  Seriously though, that's some awesome work right there Vel. Major props to one cool Pop for that.

If i was able to find any pumpkins that were still decent id love to give those a shot. I cant imagine using a dremmel on a pumpkin. I have a nice set of xaxto knives with pearing attachments i use for carving.

in the three years my wife and i have been in our house this is by far the best. i was dressed as a zombie with one of those animotion masks, if you have never seen one of these you need to check them out. my buddy from work was dressed in a jawa/ ghoul costume with the glowing eyes and he was just standing in our front yard not moving a muscle. i was hiding behind our garbage cans and as the kids were walking away i would creep up behind them and scare the buhjeebies out of them. my buddy would get them after i scared them so it was a double shot, nothing like teamwork to scare the crap out of the kids. later on we decided to take a walk around the developement and do a little creeping. i scared two mid teen girls so bad that they started crying, but did i stop there, hell no. i followed them all the way back to my house and my wife let one girl into our house to get away from me but lo and behold she didnt know it was my house so she cried even more. so the tally for the night was three cryers and one mom who had to use our bathroom because i literally almost scared the pee out her, so all in all it was a great night for scaring kids at my house. now to work on next years costume.

We had a kid show up in a Jawa-like costume.  We gave him extra candy for saying Utini!

You both get points for this lol.


As for me:




I went as Sidious.

Went over to my friends house, they always have some sort of scare tactics going on, and this year i was *sort of* a part of it

I stood at the end of the driveway luring people in, so they would come to the house to get the candy, then my friends attacked up by the door. One was a creepy clown hiding in the trash can, and popping up when they passed by, the other was a werewolf that popped out of the bushes.

To my absolute delight, there were a few young Jedi that I tried to turn to the dark side ( with my Sidious voice, of course.) and as all good Jedi should, they refused to turn, and the duels began!!

One guy was dressed as Vader, and I gave him the proper greeting as well, then he commented on my Monarch, about how loud and bright it was and of course I threw an Ultra Sabers sales plug at him. He said he was familiar but they were a bit expensive for him, but after seeing one in person, I think he might reconsider

Overall, it was a blast, the only downside was the fact that I couldnt feel my hands by the end of the night

YESSSSSSS... now all we need are go carts.

[Manroon]

I need to buy a Mario hat. I got my Dad the Luigi one for his birthday and I want one soooo bad now. lol

So anyways, the subject at hand. All awesome guys, all awesome. Nice Sideous! Well, I hadn't planned on doing anything.... but particularly after yesterday's press release I couldn't go the day without being in uniform so I pulled out my 'Vader is Coming.... Look Busy.' shirt, dusted off the old Solo Vest, grabbed my Shock, and went 'Hutch Status.' Go Fanboys.  I'll try to upload a pic or two of it all tomorrow. I was lucky enough to pass the local Chick-Fil-A and see a friend working at the counter, so I waited till he was done with his customer and lit up outside the window, sketched a salute and flourished a couple times while he grabbed his coworkers. lol I also freaked out the Mickey-D's guys who were out for a smoke on my way home, caught a few passers by and some kids here and there, and was happily surprised to find that trick or treating was still going strong in my park at 7:40 when I got home. Since my mom wasn't home to make dinner yet, I ditched my access stuff inside and went for a walk. I got a few compliments, but a shocking number of people complimented me without having any idea what my saber was. 0_o Still, the first house I passed talked with me about it for a couple minutes and awarded me a Butterfinger (ah, so choice) so I can safely say: MANROON CAN STILL GET AWAY WITH TRICK OR TREATING! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yeah, it was awesome. Not my top ranking haul or my best cosplay on record, sure, but the fact that at 21 with Johnny Reb sideburns and a full on stache I can still win me some candy made my night. (well, that and the Chick-Fil-A thing )



HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVER'BODY!

Overdue photographic evidence of my participation of the glorious day of free fun-sized candies: 

Le Costume.


Le Butterfinger. Mmmmmm.


Just thought I'd share. As I said in previous post, it wasn't much of a costume, particularly given what I have in the closet, but it was enough to count, and it was fun to still be able to nab a butterfinger for free while wearing goofy clothes and carrying a saber at 21 3/4.

Well, it's about time for a resurrection.

Plans?

Costumes?

Props?

Anything Halloween-related goes!

My friends and I are going to dress up in quasi-victorian costumes and have a funeral procession through downtown, I even have some oil lanterns and I am going to make a coffin that will thump and bang every few minutes.
but before that we are going to reverse trick or treat, meaning we are going to knock, put up our own door that says please knock and give candy to the people inside.

I will try to get someone to take pictured of the funeral procession.

[Darth Kitsune]

Not really doing much for Halloween. I might attend a costume party or two, and hang out with some friends in costume. I'll be wearing my Sith costume I've been working on a couple times during the week of Halloween for these things and College as well.

[ThreadJack]

As far as Halloween itself, probably just watching scary movies in the dark, trying to hide from Trick or Treaters. XD.

This. Again.

I'm dressing up as Dick Cheney in hunting garb and my buddy is dressing up as Harry Wittington (the guy Cheney shot in the face while hunting) My ma is an all around artist so she's going to do up the birdshot in his face and make us look old. Then my buddy's going to carry around a fake defibrillator because of Cheney's many heart attacks. Gonna pick up one of those shotguns at walmart that shoot out the smoke and we're gonna string up some fake quail. I'm gonna walk around shooting the smoke at him every once in a while and say "Whoops. Sorry Harry, thought you were a quail."
