Halloween Costumes

[KabaModern]

It's strange I haven't seen a thread for this yet. Is anyone dressing up this year? I am. I'm not "trick-or-treat"-ing but I am going to a grown-up Halloween Party. I'll post a picture of my outfit when I'm dressed up. But I'm going as a Doctor... I know original, right?! But I didn't have long to put it together.

What about you guys?

[Europa]

No costume, but I'm going to a haunted corn maze and "corpse nightmare" tonight.

[Krunk83]

I am usually a banana.

There you go Krunk! We are going to the field of screams tonight!

[Europa]

I've been waiting in line @ the field of screams for two hours. I'm in the next group and wearing a jigsaw mask. :)

The wife and I are hitting a music festival at a friend's orchard in Doylestown. We'll be camping in said orchard, ideally quite drunk. Should be fun!

We're always really lazy when it comes to costumes, though. This year we're throwing together some Hawaiian shirts, leis, grass skirts, coconut bra (for her), and wings.... we'll be Flyin' Hawaiians! :ok:ok

Lame, but topical.

I am stealing my costume from The Office. I am going to write book on my face and wear a blue shirt with Wall written on it and a box to write in and a wall post from my friend that says happy halloween. :)

In case you still don't get it, I am going to be Facebook.

One of these years when I get my act together, I'm going with a buddy as these guys:

My friend did it once and he actually carried around a bowl of peanuts in the box, which he offered to all party goers. Needless to say, it was a hit. Totally stealin' it.

My buddy did this and went and bought a huge dildo to but in the box. It was pretty funny and a big hit. All the chicks were grabbing it.

I won't link the picture but check out the twitpic from Chad Ochocinco a few hours ago

[Londonrockz568]

ROFL.... Why are so many people dressing up as either Jon and Kate, and then they buy 8 dolls and theres your + eight??

Nice Chris.

[Europa]

My nephew, the gnome. :)

travelocity gnome?

[patrickj]

Don't have pics off my wife's camera yet, but my 100 pound brute of a Labrador wore a very fetching Hannah Montana wig :)

[Londonrockz568]

Is it the best of both worlds??

[Youngbinks]

I went as Charlie from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". No picture but here is the costume inspiration.

I'm not sure why Frank's name says Cyrus on this picture however.

Here's me in my costume, sans rubber gloves and bone saw but it's the best one that shows the blood spatter:

Someone please say they know what this costume is! We went to a Halloween party and no one knew what I was (aside from some sort of nurse), including the teenagers there. It was quite depressing.

[juls1585]

omg europa how cute is he!

[KabaModern]

I hate to admit it, macgirl, but I have no clue... :(

[Europa]

OMG Macgirl! I freaking love it!

That is the best costume I have ever seen in my life!

SILENT HILL!!!!

http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt330/Europa1300/silenthill.png?t=1257173442

[KabaModern]

Was that a good movie, Europa and macgirl? I must say from the picture Europa posted that costume looks dead-on awesome!! Great work :ok:ok

[macgirl]

SILENT HILL!!!!

http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt330/Europa1300/silenthill.png?t=1257173442




YES! Gold star for you!

I was so surprised that no one at all at the party knew what I was. They just thought I was an evil zombie nurse. I questioned every teenage boy at the party and they had no idea, even though they're all gamers. So lame.

[KabaModern]

That's pretty hot...

[macgirl]

Was that a good movie, Europa and macgirl? I must say from the picture Europa posted that costume looks dead-on awesome!! Great work :ok:ok

Thanks!

I ended up being a little too clean - forgot to blood spatter and dirty up the nurse's cap and I didn't put the blue veins on my legs, but it worked out as I'd hoped for the most part.

The movie isn't all that great, but it does a decent job of capturing the game's feel visually. This is the best scene with the nurses in it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLb_M3G6Iv8

[Europa]

That scene is one of my all time favorite movie scenes. YouTube does not do it any justice. It was awesome on the big screen!

macgirl, did you play the character & mimic their movements?

[KabaModern]

That scene is one of my all time favorite movie scenes. YouTube does not do it any justice. It was awesome on the big screen!

I'm going to have to see this movie now! I trust your recommendations, Europa, for the most part. ;)

[macgirl]

That is indeed an excellent scene - the best in that movie, IMHO. The one where she first sees Pyramid Head is a close second.

I did mimic their movements, but stopped once I realized no one was getting it at the party. :(

[Europa]

Well, I agree with macgirl, the movie as a whole isn't all that great. Even the critics were confused. I think a lot of game based movies are that way. I liked it a lot and looked past the plot holes, because I really liked the special effects and theme. That's something I rarely do.

I'll give it a go anyway. I'm always looking for new movies to watch!

That is sad. If I had been at that party, I would have went nuts the second you walked in the door.

BTW, I got TomTom working perfectly with flawless music playback and it now cuts the music for turn by turn directions through my car speakers. Putting the head unit in Passenger Control Mode prevents the "accessory connected" screen and allows you to control the music from the iPhone or from the head unit. I'm not sure if it was 3.1.2 or Passenger Control mode, but I'm just happy it's finally working right. :)

Did you ever figure out how to get yours out of "accessory connected" mode? I have to push and hold the mode button on the deck for 2 seconds. It should stay in that mode until I disconnect the battery.

Also, where did you get the iPhone case? I want that for next Halloween.

Nice job on the TomTom/iPhone car integration! Nope, haven't figured how to get it out of accessory connected mode yet. :( I did get a longer connection cable and a new ProClip mount to install and will be working on it shortly, though.

Which iPhone case? The one in my costume pic above? If so, that's just a Gelaskins skin (https://www.gelaskins.com/image.php?ImageID=220). I did get a cute demon case from Ideal-Case (http://www.ideal-case.com/iphone-3g/silicone-case/damon.html) which is very Halloweenish if that's what you had in mind. :)

[Europa]

I guess I was really using my imagination there, it looked like blood spatter next to your costume. Now I see it's just a girly case. ;) I still like though.

Take a look through the manual, it should show how to get it into Passenger Control Mode, if it's possible to do that on your deck.

[psylichon]

Wow, Macgirl, that costume is incredible! I never saw the movie, but I caught the reference.

The iPhone game is horrible, by the way.

[KabaModern]

macgirl, where did you find the mask?

Awesome costume...have any more pics of it??

You look good in it too, not to sound creepy.

[MrEous]

I'm a fan of nurses...what??

[Londonrockz568]

Mac girl... my what a body you have.:ok:ok:dft012:wink

[macgirl]

macgirl, where did you find the mask?

Found it through an ad on a cosplay forum - a guy in Chicago makes them. It was a little pricey ($60) but it was the main part of the costume, so it was worth it.

Wow, Macgirl, that costume is incredible! I never saw the movie, but I caught the reference.

The iPhone game is horrible, by the way.

Thanks! Yeah, I have the game but I haven't played it all that much. I am tempted to get the latest Xbox version of it, though. Silent Hill has been the only video game so far to really creep me out for some reason.

Awesome costume...have any more pics of it??

Thank you for the compliment (you don't sound creepy ;) ). I had my husband take a couple of pictures with my DSLR, but I haven't transferred them to my computer yet. If they came out good, I may post them on my Facebook page.

A blood spattered iPhone would have been an excellent prop. I should have thought of that!

No passenger mode on my stereo - it's the stock stereo connected to a factory iPod kit. :( I have found that I can work around the limitation a little by starting an album or song I want to hear before connecting my iPhone to it - for some reason, it just picks up playing where I started it even if it's not in one of the special playlists that the kit is restricted to reading.

Mac girl... my what a body you have.:ok:ok:dft012:wink

Thank you for the compliment, though I'd rather be noticed as being smart and helpful. :)

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

You are smart and helpful, Marianne. I'd love to kiss your brain! :ok:ok

Part of the cast of scrubs.

I was The Janitor.

[Youngbinks]

Nice one with Scrubs. Where'd you find a Rowdy-esque dog?

[Londonrockz568]

Macgirl... what do you look like w/o the mask?

Im still waiting to see Dave's costume.

[smknSRT8]

My friend actually has that acrylic dog in his apt. He got it as a gag housewarming gift from his dad.

[psylichon]

This costume is so awesome (for any Goldeneye fans out there).... Big Head Mode!

[Krunk83]

I played lots of Goldeneye in my day. That game was awesome!

[smknSRT8]

Dave that is the best costume I saw this year! That looks so good. Did you think of it? Make it? Buy it?

[chris]

Best. Game. Ever.

That's all kinds of awesome.

[KabaModern]

No way, that totally looks like Photoshop work...

[Londonrockz568]

Yes, as in he used photoshop to make the "helmet".

I used to hate playing with DK mode on. Especially with license to kill on.

Goldeneye was SUCH an amazing game. I still play it when I get a chance.

Wow... I deff want him to make one of me.

[iCafe]

Best. Game. Ever.

That's all kinds of awesome.

My favorite game ... also wwf vs nwo and mario kart

[psylichon]

To this day, Goldeneye is the only FPS that I can play without getting nauseated. I know things have gotten even smoother with regards to rendering, but something about the physics of that game just worked for me. Seriously can't play any others.

I really wish they'd bring it out for classic console on the Wii, but I've heard they have a licensing snafu that is all but insurmountable at this point.

[Europa]

I was Jigsaw. This blurry shot at the corn maze ended up being one of my favorites.
