I’m a going as a social butterfly. I got a cute rainbow monarch wing cape thing at the renfair and I am going to print social media logos and tape them to a shirt. It’s cheap, cute, and funny lol.

    I don’t do Halloween. I don’t like dressing up as anything other than me, and I don’t feel like anyone would be very impressed.

    I’ve been working on my costume for about two months now, and it’s about 2/3rds done. I haven’t quantified total expenditures yet but I’d estimate it’s over $700 in materials and supplies.

    Yes, it’s a fursuit (bird suit partial).

    Last Halloween I went to a karaoke night dressed as The Mask and learned the hard way that using oil-based face paints without a setting powder or spray is a bad idea because that doesn’t dry. Won’t be repeating the same mistake this year.

    This year? I’m actually going to another city to celebrate my friend’s birthday, but I plan to go to a karaoke night the day before dressed as Danhausen.

      I have had a David S. Pumpkins suit since just after it aired and I wear it every year.

      I have been catcalled twice by other men wearing it. They were very aggressive.

      I am also in a stock photo of a business meeting where I am wearing the suit and there are about 30 people wearing normal clothing because I went to a conference on 10/30 where they encouraged costumes, showed up an hour late and had to sit in the front row. The picture is taken of me sitting there hungover and looking tired and everyone else smiling.

      It’s the most flammable suit I own.

      No regrets.

      You’ve got the sidekicks too, right? That costume only works if you’ve got the two other people.

    Amish. I have a big beard and moustache, but I’m having nasal surgery on the 5th of November, and I have to shave the 'stache, so why not use it for Halloween?

    I put a wig on, and I’m Alan from the Hangover. I like to wear that costume and stop by my usual haunts/hang out until people realize it’s me.

    If I leave the house, I’ve been basically dressing as a witch for years at this point. Somewhere in my closet is a witch hate and a no longer scented cinnamon broom. Think my crafted potion bottle necklace is somewhere.

    All my costume requires is me to find the miscellaneous things, some dark clothes, and boots. I never plan to do anything but sometimes I get invited. And some of those times I even show up.
