Halloween!

Literally the first image to pop up, I love the world!

To be honest, I prefer Jack-o-Lanterns with a "Classic" look. Pointy, spiked mouths and frightening expressions.

Like this.

[Frizzenflyer]

you know what? I agree, for the most part. I never was very good at carving pumpkins.

[Darth Kitsune]

To me it's not about carving one well or super detailed. I'm an art student in college, so I'm sure I could carve an exceptional pumpkin. But, for some reason, I'm just drawn to that classic face. It has a sort of effect on the psychology. It's demonic, but simple. It's an image that gets the point across without much detail.

Back in the day, Jack-o-Lanterns were carved to ward off evil spirits. That face makes me think of a dark guardian of Hallow's Eve. It's clean, and mysterious. Is it evil? Or is it just a face to scare away the things that go bump in the night?

It just pleases me.

wow!!!

ive never carved a pumpkin. Halloween isn't such a big thing here in Oz. As a kid we only had one street in our lil country town that trick or treated coz they had a few americans that lived on the street- they were also the only street that'd get decked up in Christmas lights. mind you, we didn't have many streets.

ive made paper mache jack o lanterns though. they last longer that way

Hmmm then going out on a limb...I suspect you have not tasted pumpkin seeds, pumpkin bread, and or pumpkin seeds?

Dunno if its the same as what your talking about, but I've had pumpkin bread. Years ago

So, I've officially decided that I'll be the Mad Hatter/Jervis Tetch.



I'll be using my mother's and my own makeup skills to appear male.

I'll be getting a male haircut as well, which I'll probably regret, but I don't have much of a life right now so it won't matter that much.

SOTJ will provide vocal coaching, although that bit won't be too hard because my voice is fairly low anyway.

There are certain other things to conceal, of course, but Tetch wears several layers so that won't be very difficult.

The height is also an issue, but if I recall right, he was average height in the early 80s, so I'm somewhere in between the portrayals.

[ed_ification]

Which style of Tetch?  Comic?  Arkham City?

My own spin on him, combining my favorite aspects of all of his appearances. A somewhat more orderly version of Arkham City with more of the bright colors of the comics, and Peter MacNicol's voice, or something along those lines.

The hat is becoming a serious problem, though. All good options are priced like... good options.

yeah, I paid $65 for my top hat, which I would offer to lend to you but I am planning to wear it on Halloween, sorry.

Do you know how to sew?  And do you have access to a top hat pattern?

Alternatively, could you find a head shop that sells those tall hats that were popular in the 90s and alter one of those?

[Deadcow]

Of course it always looks better about three days after Halloween when it starts to rot around the eyes and mouth.

Print up some business cards on your computer ($3-$4) that you can hand out, some folks might not know the character and the cards make sense for the abilities

Anyone else think it's funny that our parents always told us to never take candy from strangers... But every Halloween we do exactly that?
