i love halloween! its so fun! lol
im going to be-i dont know but whatever my excuse for going out and getting candy is im watching my little siblings bwahahaha
I’m going to be a Dekranian Warrior
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ROBERT! *Hugs*
I feel special.
I’m not sure yet but I think I’m going to be a headless person. We’re going to build this big torso over my head and have a fake arm going under my chin. It’s going too be spectacular.
My friend is hosting a halloween party, becuase this is the year she CAN’T GO TRICK-OR-TREATING!!!!!!!!! *Sob* *Cry*
No more trick-or-treating with *Ahem* My friend.
What do you’all think is the age when you should STOP trick or treating? In my opinion. never.
me gonna be a pizza delivery guy
idk if i’ll be dressing up or not. too far away to say. probably not, but i might wear random bits of various costumes like pirate hats and whatnot…
I started planning a month ago. I’m going to be a dragon.
Half of the candy people give out has corn syrup in it.
The other half has choklit.
I am allergic to both.
Woe is me.
I have NO IDEA what I’m going to be. 7(Kali triangle.) – My dad was a dragon once. We used red maple leaves for scales and just glued them on to a cardboard box, basically. It looked good.
6 – HAHA. Good. Funny.
I want to be the Verizon dude. So I can walk around on my phone saying, “Can you hear me now? *pause* Goode!”
I was a cell phone the year before last. My mom was the main costume maker, but I helped. It ended up really cool looking.
I want to be a cat-person, sort of like Catwoman. Ironically, her name’s Cat’s Meow!
I love Halloween! My friend and I always do really crazy two person costumes! But sadly, two things interfere with my fun this year
1) I’m fourteen. My mum says no trick or treating after I’m fourteen. Damn.
2) Even if I could convince my mum to let me go (which I probably could, she’s not uber-strict, or at least I could go to a party instead of trick or treating) my band director is COMPLETELY FOU!!!!!!
I have 3 hour (6:30-9:30) marching practice every tuesday, and is she canceling just because of Halloween? NO. NO, and if you don’t go to practice is mucho points of your grade.
Grrrrr.
But, if by some miracle I do make it out…. I will do another two part costume with my freind. Those are the most fun.
im going as koko or fether
Your costume idea pwns Kali. What kind of dragon?
My friends and I are going to be the IRS Audit Team.
Bet you asked your parents, “What is the scariest thing in the world?”
I wish I knew what to be for Halloween. I can tell you what I was in previous years, though. Only if you really want to know, though, which you probably don’t.
People’s ideas are awesome, though. Yeah, Kali, what are you thinking of for your dragon?
I read a Foxtrot comic where what’s his name Jason was an iMac without a floppy drive (AHHHHHHH! HAVE MERCY!, quoting his brother what’s his name Peter). Pretty scary, huh?
18- Tell us!
16-yay foxtrot! that was one of the funniest comics ever. “I must admit, i wasn’t sure when your dad first suggested these…” “i hope that guy was just faking those chest pains”
Right. Don’t mind me. I had choklit. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend, a grade younger than me, isn’t going trick or treating anymore. We had considered being aliens from another planet together last halloween. Sad. I don’t know if I’m going, or as what.
I’ll probably find inspiration at the fabric shop. It has really cool seasonal fabrics.
4 (Capricious)- When you have kids. Then it’s just sad.
I’ll be at school for Halloween, but we’re having parties and all the teachers give out candy, so it’s cool. Don’t know what I’ll be yet, but I’m getting together a really sweet pirate costume for Homecoming week. (Not that we have a football team. I’m not sure why it’s called Homecoming, but the theme is pirates and that’s cool.)
13- wear a costume to practice^_^
Ways to go trick-or-treating without actually trick or treating:
1) offer to chaperone your younger sibling or a friend’s younger sibling
2) collect food for a food shelf instead of candy
3) Randomly steal candy from people’s bags
(16 SB) *thunderous applause* haha. I am a big fan of that idea.
(18 THF) Hippo! I’m surprised! Since when did it matter if anyone cares about the contents of one’s posts on the MB? Plus, of course we want to know. It’s more interesting when people share information about themselves…
(24) Yeah, those ideas had occurred to me (well not the food shelf one, but I likes it).
Wearing a costume to practice would indeed be froody, however difficult. I’m very wary about what I wear when I march, because things can get uncomfortable really fast. But still. It would be fun.
Lasy year my freind and I went as garbage men. We got a big metal garbage can and put a garbage bag in it and collected candy in that. We wore beat up over-alls and painted our faces with brown and green to make oursleves look dirty. We tangled out hair and put these special garbage men caps on, and for the finishing touch we glued flies and cockroaches all over our clothes and garbage can.
It was sweet.
hmmm…
maybe I’ll be a sorceress this year…
and that’s a costume I could wear to school that isn’t against the dress code! yay!
25 (DD4)- Hmph. That’s unethical, and all that jazz.
Any costume ideas pour moi? I will do the whole skimpy thing, but I don’t have much to show off with skimp. So non-skimpy is preferable. I was kinda thinking evil demented squid, but better plans are welcome. Stuff that takes very little effort, or wouldn’t look good on you, or you’ve already done but really liked, or something.
I have vague plans to be a witch of some sort. It should be fun!
I have a decent gypsy outfit ready, but I’d like to do something a little more original this year…not sure what yet, though. I could always recycle my Duo Maxwell anime convention costume, lol.
By this Halloween I’ll be sixteen, so trick-or-treating is out of the question. I don’t know about other places, but in my area thirteen or fourteen is the age limit. You can still go out when you’re older if you really want to, but people give you weird looks if you do.
I really wanted to be Kokopelli, but I still haven’t figured out how to get into the second dimension……… So maybe I will settle for Holly Short instead.
#8: Aw, that sux!! : ( I’m sorry.
#10: Hahahahaha you def should do that!
#11: Hey, my friend was a cellphone a few yrs ago.
#13: Hey, at least you’ll be doing something more exciting than what I’ll be doing, most likely!
#s 16&17: Hehehehehehehehe…
You guys hav some v cool costume ideas!
It’s been so cold here on Halloween that I’ve nvr been able to hav a super-cool costume, well…except last year. I was an anime girl (Yeah, the costume was a little skimpy ; ) ) – goggles, leg warmers, pig tails, vinyl skirt, and all that whatnot. It was fun. I live near a lot of rich pplses, and they always give out the king size candy bars!
Other memorable costumes…I was MYSELF two yrs ago – I just enlarged a foto of my head + made it into a mask.
My favourit Halloween ever was in eighth grade – My two friends and I were going through this “We’re so tough” phase, so all three of us decided to dress up as freaky goth ppl and go trick-or-treating. No one was scared of us though. Jeesh, I wonder why – We pretty much nvr stopped giggling that entire evening. One of my friends had this little obsession w/ cows at the time – and there was this guy ahead of us dressed up as a cow (We ended up following him for some reason – I think my friend was stalking him). He would go up to a door and be like MOO! instead of “Trick-or-treat!” And we ended up getting tons of candy, b/c my friend brought an extra bag and was asking for candy for her “sister,” who was “sick!” Ha!
I think this Halloween will be somewhat different than my last sixteen…Let’s see, since I’m a super duper senior now…taking 5 advanced classes…I’ll probably be sitting at home, doing homework, and occasionally answering the door and giving the kiddies candy. Meh.
Zyka (31),
Here’s how one Muser did it.
Well, if you really want to know……….
2006 – No idea, but you guys will probably be the first to know about it.
2005 – Black and White. Basically black stuff sewn onto white clothing. It had wing-like things that were black and stuff. It was very pretty, and very cool.
2004 – I was a cell phone. I don’t want to have to explain it, so I’ll just say this: It was a picture phone, with a little hole in the cardboard for me to put my face in. It also had this sort of neon blue felt for the numbers.
2003 – I think this was the year when I went as a dump truck. I kept on having people dump candy from my pillowcase trick-or-treat bag into the back of the truck, which was an Office Depot box.
2002 – I don’t remember. The next one I remember is when PP and I were about ages 5 and 2, and we went around with millions of helium balloons tied to us as balloon fairies.
I’ve been… a fairy, a dog, a hippie, a ladybug, a book, a witch, a pirate, a citizen of Gondor. That’s all I remember.
36 – Very nice. PP was a pirate once, but I’m not going to say anything else because that’s her story.
#35- Those are some, um, interesting costumes. But nothing short of awesome!
Last year I wanted to go as John Lennon from the Sgt. Pepper album, but my mum was always saying “I’m not your personal seamstress! If you want something that complicated, learn how to sew!”. So I instead went as a gypsy, which took almost no effort, as I put it together in two minutes.
In the future years, I’m going to try diligently to be John from Sgt. Pepper, Roger Taylor (Queen) from the “Radio GaGa” video and Roger again, but this time from the “I Want to Break Free” video. I hope those can happen sometime soon. I will NOT stop trick or treating, even if I am a vegan and can’t eat the chocolate or caramel! I have some more ideas, but they can’t really be finalised (not that they could be, anyway). Oh yeah, I was also planning on being a Pleides daughter or an elf. A fairy would be fun, I think.
In the past years, I’ve been Tigger, a dalmation, the Killer Bunny (NOT kidding!!), probably a princess, Ginny from Harry Potter, the Greek Goddess Athena, *blanking*, *blanking some more*, a hippie, a punk and a gypsy.
I don’t know what I’m gonna be. I might not even go trick or treating ;__;
32- That sounds really fun…I wanna dress up like a goth …my cousin and her friends plan emo days where they put on black clothes and makeup, and then walk around pretending to be emo.
I’ve been a butterfly, a black cat, a fairy, a Mexican/Hispanic girl thing, a Norwegian princess, and a modern dorothy of Oz.
That Pac-Man costume in the Muse article “Gamers All Around You” was pretty froody, so I might do something like that. I don’t know. Usually I don’t go trick-or-treating becuase we live sort of out there and my mom has had undefined qualms about it. They’ve had a Halloween thing at my church the last few years (Okay okay, excuse me. Fall Festival. I guess they don’t want to call it ‘Halloween’ at church. Never mind the fact that it’s on the night of the 31st. I say any holiday that gets one tons of tooth rotting candy is a good one, no matter its origins.), but last year it was totally lame. The first year, it was pretty awsome, but since it’s deminished to a few pitiful cars in the lot (Trunk-or-treat. Don’t ask.), a band playing for nobody, and some random Veggetales movie playing too softly to hear inside.
# 36: Citizen of Gondor? yayyyy!! LOTR freaks UNITE!
I think for Halloween this year I shall wear a pink fluffy hat. (Yes, I AM a girl!)
One year, I was an ATM. I made my own costume out of a cardboard box and then I couldnt’ get out of it…well, i was only 9!!!!!! (no offense to the highly intelligent 9-year-olds that might be roaming the pages of Muse blog)
Actually this board is kind of scaring me on account of it’s still august. I went to the mall around the 4th of july and i saw back to school stuff…and the grocery store in my town already has thanksgiving decorations up…
I never know what I’m gonna be until it’s too late to get a good costume.
meh
34 – Wow! I can’t believe how well that person did the costume!
I am DEFINITELY going to try to do that for Halloween.
But even better.
*of course!*
Shadowfax- LOTR rocks the world- dont tell me ending of book 3 havent finished- really wish I were elf

38 – yeah. I know. A bit strange and not-so-“cool”. But what’d you expect?
There’s a boy at my school that always goes as a speed limit sign.
I have to think of a good costume idea. I have no idea! The past few years, no one has been able to tell what/who I am, so I might want to fix that. But at the same time, I want the costume to be UNIQUE! I don’t think there will be a problem with that, though. Every boy at my school, basically, buys one of those Scream costumes with the fake blood running down the face. Yuck.
Mine weren’t in order. And I just remembered that I was a black cat one year. Oh, and I’ve been Mary Poppins. It rained that year but I had my candy in a carpet bag so it didn’t get wet.
My brother on the other hand, has been a suitcase, turtle, locker, mailbox, marker (the year I was a book -someone thought he was a lit cigarette but I don’t know how they thought that. He looked like a marker to me)
I know I want to be one of the muses for Halloween, but I’m not sure which one I want to be. Suggestions?
If you had her signature umbrella, you and your candy would be fine!
50- I had her famous carpet bag, which kept my candy dry!
I need costume ideas! I’m thining about sorceress, but that’s definitely not very interesting. Can anyone give ideas, minus face paint (i despise face paint)?
Hmmm… What has the Pentinator been? Starting from my first year, I have placed myself inside the Much Holy Personages of: a rainbow, a butterfly, a scarecrow, an Asian (yes, I’m halfway there already. Shut up.), a blue thingy, a (I forget), a (I forget again), a (guess what), and a Python Melange.
I was going to be Marvin, since I’m at a nerd school and people would actually get what I’m doing rather than ‘oh, a robot’. Or I will be a Fish Gone Wrong.
Someone should be an HPB.
Not me though.
51 – haha, but the umbrella would help you, too.
21 – I’m not exactly suggesting this, but it would be cool to have a comic strips thread.
52 – I can’t stand face paint either.
My dad is always a Chinese foot doctor. He has this robe thingy that is from China (I think), and he wears a stethescope around his neck. And he has this funny Chinese peasant hat the you can fold up and then it pops out into this huge shading-the-eyes hat.
38- Chocolate doesnt have any animal things in it!!!!! (I have no IDEA about caramel)
2006- I’m going to be a headless butler or headless person. Something headless!!!
2005- I was a washing machine!!! It was FROODY.
2004- I think I was a baker. Yeah, that’s it, a baker…
2003- I was a chinese girl. My mom made this great dress and I had this great parisol! It was fantastic!
2002- I think I was a ghost. Yeah…
2001- I was a vamiperss. Arr.
2000-I ws a cat. A black cat. I went trick or treating around the city and got candy from stores, it was also very froody.
1999- I was casper.
1998- I was dr. spoon or something… He had a T.V. show and my parents just threw it on me.
1997- I was a pumpkin
That’s all I can remember, I don’ think I got the times exactly right, but I was pretty close.
It’s so hard to do this withought giving away my age! If you did know my age, that would be freaky and besides, it’s my personal information! I could be twenty ore ten for all you know!
hint: It’s not either of those!
49- Be something unexpected! Like… Craaw!!! Or Pwt!!! Or you could go as our unamed muse of musers, pat or sam or whatever we havent named him/her yet…
PP, I’ll go with you as another muse. If one of us is Pwt and one Crraw, that would be interesting. The chase would be on!
Or one Koko and one Urania. If you’re Koko, you could have a bunch of fake pies (paper plates, possibly?), and I could have a green umbrella to protect myself.
49. whats yur favorite muse
mines Urania
( no offense, Kokopelli lovers )
Yay for Halloween!!! I don’t know what I’ll be h\yet, but I know I’ll be something because you’re never too old to get huge ammounts of free candy from neighbors!!!
59 – Mine’s either Urania or Pwt. Even though you weren’t talking to me.
Most of my better Hallowe’en costumes were those I wore in my early twenties. Let’s see, I’ve been Scheherazade, the Vernal Equinox, Dracula, Ziggy Stardust, and — inspired by Bowie’s make-up for Screamin’ Lord Byron — I created “Screamin’ Jackie O.,” complete with an authentic 1960s dress of my mother’s (though that was for a random “let’s freak out the people at work” day rather than October 31).
Unlike some of you, I glory in face painting, though I never wear make-up in real life.
The most satisfying effects were the most ghoulish. (More in character, some would say.) For the black widow spider, I painted my entire face in long, wide drips of black and red, with the red trickling down my neck. I’ve forgotten now what I used to make the webbing extend above my head.
But the most elaborate outfit never had a name. It began with finding a sort of undersea-creature costume at a Washington Opera wardrobe sale. I didn’t know what to do with it when I bought it, but I loved the murky abalone colors and the stringy stuff hanging down all around it.
Only my face and hands showed, and I coated those with a flour-and-water paste and globbed on layers of stage make-up over the surface to get that cheery rotting-corpse effect. The paste was lumpy and didn’t stick all that well, so throughout the night I shed bits of “skin.” Very attractive.
I went to show off to my parents and scared my little brother when he answered the door. That made the whole effort worthwhile! Even more fun, at a party later, a woman touched my face and shrieked with genuine horror, “oh, my god, it’s real! I thought it was a mask.” A truly mwahaha moment.
So now you know — Rebecca: the Dark Side.
Aeiou, maybe… Hermione? I DON’T KNOW!!!
62 – WOW. Awesome. Wow. Very cool.
i make all my costumes from scratch. my only problem is face paint- its so hard to get here! anyway, the green is especially rare, ive noticed, and so r black sheets.
thing is, my parents+sister think halloween is a waste of time, they don’t get the fact that getting into a costume, and running around in the dark in subzero temp, and then eating what little candy you got IS NOT THE SAME as going to a store and buying choklit and such. so i have to make all my costumes my self and get friends to pick me up, since i am more than walking distance from town. *groan* still, because of this, i usually start thinking and planning in summer, so the costumes r actually pretty darn good, if i do say so myself.
this year im going as elphaba from wicked. weeeeeee n then maybe next year as glinda or someone….. nessa, maybe?
hmmm killer bunny.
hmm.
*steals idea*
I adore face paint. But then, I wear makeup on rare occasions, so perhaps I am not the best judge.
thrift stores are my main resource, they’re great.
I don’t trick-or-treat anymore. I dunno. I just don’t like it. Yeah, you get candy, but still. I go to Halloween parties. I may be a yellow sick toad (from the well-known song with Judy Garland in Wiz. of O.), or perhaps I’ll be Debbie Harry.
I was Asterix last year. My father was Captain Beefheart, and my best friend was Obelix. We brought along a stuffed dog as Idefix.
65 – my mom and I work on costumes together. Face paint is a problem for me, too. Jo Ann fabrics is where we get the fabric, (imagine that! fabric at a fabric store!) and then we make what we need from that.
I’ve decided. I have to be Urania. I have it all figured out. I wish I could show a picture of me when it’s all finished. I’ll tell you how it’s going to work when I have further ideas.
Can we load photos of ourselves all Halloween-ified to an external site and then email the links to the OEADs? You could post an anonymous linklist, and we could see the awesome costumes without knowing who’s who.
I wanna do something spectacular. I’m so going to the fabric store this weekend.
Hm… You can reach us at gapa @ musefanpage.com. We don’t check it as often as we should (too much spam), but anything you send will be read eventually.
AEIOU or Bo. Can’t decide.
Is Aeioua warm costume? I live in MN. Hermione is a warm costume, but I wore that last year. Hmm…
71 – Good idea
72 – Thanks!
I have to be Urania. I just have to. I have some great ideas, too.
69-so… no offense, but your friend’s really fat?
or lots of pillows?
72 – I couldn’t find that. Hmm…..
I have it figured out now! I don’t know what the fabric’s going to look like, but I have the plan of what to do with the fabric. I’m going to wear fabric (hopefully with stars and stuff on it) that’s really long, and there’s going to be a hole in the middle for my head. I hope it goes to my feet! And I’m going to wear a hopefully light purple toga/sash/belt thingy like Urania wears in the cartoons. And pink ribbons in my conveniently blond hair. Not in a bun thingy, though. Just in a braid or on a headband or something.
So……..a simple costume, but hopefully good. And effective.
And….I almost forgot! The green umbrella! I’m going to have something similar to a green umbrella! Wahoo!
Maybe a kaliedoscope to be like a telescope, too………I’ll still be thinking about it. I’ve still got time.
My brother is going to be a dementor. A bunch of black fabric and possibly a mask, basically.
(4) The year you should stop trick-or-treating is after you die. Decomposing corpses just aren’t very kid friendly. : )
BUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! I have gotten my sister to agree to being either Pwt or Urania. If she is going to be Pwt, we will trick my little brother into being Crraw, and teach him some bad poetry.
We even have a butterfly net perfect for Pwt! Too bad we only have three kids in the family, and my parents aren’t muse-crazy, or else we could have a Urania too! 
I am DEFINITELY going as Kokopelli.
Even though I am not a boy.
I am definetly going for an optical illusion ( is that the right phrase) lik making it look like im being carried by someone in weird clothes. who knows? something like that. i would go as a muse but the thing is no one has any idea what that is.
81 – I’m going to be Urania! Did you read my post? I can be your photograph of anothe muse sighting.
82 – True, but
1. Who cares?
2. Some people would know what you were if you were Urania. And a bunch of people would know if you were Kokopelli.
I have never had a year where almost everybody I knew knew who I was. I kinda like it that way.
83-I did! Urania is a great character.
Now, because I am so happy at finally figuring out WHY Madame Giry told Raoul to keep his hand at the level of his eyes, I shall announce it to all of you!!!
“Madame Giry advises people to keep their hand at the level of their eyes because the Phantom uses the punjab lasso as a weapon, with which he is lethal. (This makes a little more sense in the stage show, where he has travelled widely rather than growing up under the opera house.)
If you keep your hand up by your eyes, a lasso will probably go around your hand and arm as well as your head, enabling you to prevent yourself from being strangled. Of course, Raoul forgets this, and ends up lassoed.”
WOOOOOHHOOOO!!! I finally know! It finally makes sense.
83 – Tell my mom that. *rolls eyes* She says that NOBODY knows who Aeiou is. Riiight, Mom. *rolls eyes*
8 – Indeed. Woe unto you.
85 – I would. NOBODY!?!? She should see for herself, right here on MB. Everyone here, from everywhere in the country, knows who she is. Sheesh.
74- I live in MN too! You are the first museblogger I’ve seen that also lives in MN!
74 – Aeiou can be a warm costume. You just have to use your imagination about it.
nobody cares if they know what or who you are or not. they’ll give you candy anyway.
90 – Another good point that I forgot to mention.
I’m gonna go as a totally metuhl viking with a giant sword and long hair. With a cool helmet too. And I’ll raze all the houses to the ground and kill all the monks and rape the women and pillage and sack and then RUN AWAY!!!!!
actually, we don’t have tot here… me sad…
92 – NO TRICK OR TREATING? You must be going mad! That must be why you start on a holiday: everyone’s mixed up for lack of trick-or-treating.
I can’t say I admire your idea as a replacement, though.
93 – Vikings rvle. or pwn. Even though 50 of ’em got their arses whipped by 6 sleeping indians.
We don”t do Hallowe’en. We do Bonfire Night instead, and burn an effigy. It’s much more sinister.
A few kids occasionally go trick or treating because they’ve been watching altogether too much American televsion, but they tend to be met with uncomprehending stares when they knock on doors. “Sorry, dear, what’s a trick’o’tritt? I’ve never heard of it, dear, but I must say, you DO look nice. I can do you a penny for the guy. No guy? Oh, that’s a shame. Never mind. Have a biscuit. I’m afraid it’s only Rich Tea. I wasn’t expecting you, and my Sandra was supposed to be going down the shops for me this morning, but what with the weather and her chilblains…..”
No, I wouldn’t fancy it either. We just let off lots of fireworks on November 5th. Which, I have to say, makes more sense than 4th July, about a fortnight after the sostice. But there you are.
I’m either going to dress up as a punk or a goth. Probably a goth
When i was really little i was Tiger Lily (u know, they indian girl from peter pan)
Everyone thought I was Pocahantas. I got soooooooooooooooo mad.
I want to be a spoon or a fork or maybe a knife this year. Some silverware.
96: Do neither. Go 80s hair metal. And use up like 666 bottles of hairspray.
i think its coooooooooooooooooooooooooool!##%^&@)_+U&%
97-I would have known you were Tiger Lily–I always seem to know who people are.
56- MILK!! Same with caramel, unfortunately. But if I get a chance to eat a truffle I do NOT decline!!
No-one at my school has had any exciting costumes….Well, excluding my brother. Two years ago, he was some sort of transvestite (meantioning, I’m listening to “Lola” right now!!). He wore a green, plaid dress, army boots and a bright red punk-wig. That was scary enough for his teachers (yes, he wore it to school!). Last year, he dressed up as *GAPAS please don’t zap this…I don’t mean it in an offensive way!! Please?* something of a *SORRY!* whore. He got a different wig, this time long, blonde. wavy with black high-lights. He had on tight blue jeans; *excuse the term again* hooker boots he borrowed from a friend; and a tight, white tee-shirt under a black, polyerethane that was obviously made for a woman. (Oh, he had faek breasts, too.) As for his make-up: birght, bright, BRIGHT, lumninescent RED lipstick his girlfriend bought him; fake nails to match his lipstick; and long, black, fake eyelashes. He strutted around school all day with a chocolate cigarette between his fingers and then came to pick me up from my school. Fortunately, he got the chance to see his old middle school teachers and give them a final good-bye before he graduated. My math teacher (at the time) (his old math teacher) was kind of confused; my English teacher wouldn’t stop squeaking (??); and his old history teacher (mine now) asked him who he was, what he was doing and if the cigarette was real. He also gave a few of my friends a good scare. A lot of people were asking if he was a guy or a girl. So amusing. I introduced him as “Lola”, from the Kinks song. I think my friend and I are planning on going as drag queens sometime (even though we’re girls: confusing).
One year I wanted to go as a space shuttle. Never you mind that….Maybe this year I’ll be a peasent from the French Revolution (I have burlap!); or a radical, modern prima-donna kind of thing. I would go as a character from Rocky Horror (Columbia?) but I think my parents would deem that “innapropriate”. But it’d be so fun to freak out my super-conservative Christian cousins!! Alas, not ’till I’m gone….They think…
Are we talking about CHOKLIT?!!?! Dark people, dark. Organic. Bittersweet. Delicious. Milk is very good, but in an entirely different way. Milk is the stay-up-all-night-get-high-on-sugar type. Milk choklit comes in quite useful. I don’t generally like choklit with stuff in it. Peanut butter is alright though. And sometimes those little crispy rice things. Kit-Kats are my luuuuv, Reese’s are what i survive on at skool (that’s all they really have in the vending machine besides Twix, which i sometimes have because it’s cheaper, but not a lot because i don’t really like them that much), 3 Musketeers are amazing, i love those so much. Don’t even know what’s in them, but i love them. Snickers and Twix are ok, not great, but hey, they’re choklit. And of course Halloween-anybody ever had choklit with caramel apples? ‘Mazing. Incredible. If i could get my mouth unstuck at such profound moments, i do believe i wouldn’t have anything to say anyway.
Well, i’m done with my Halloween Choklit Rant. XD
The only choklit I am interested in right now is nutella. But that is because it is in front of me. I wish that someone would invent a teeny nutella sqeezable so that people could have them as candy bars. They would be great!
Dark. Definately. I love all bittersweet things.
12- Ha! My friend was a catwoman/catperson/cat about like, five years in a row. She is TOTALLY obsessed with cats and is self-proclaimed, THE cat person. I don’t believe that ANYONE could be as cat-obsessed as her!!! So… Yeah…
102- No way. I LOOOOVE almost AALLLLL chocolate!!!!!! (If you REALLY want me to tell you all my favorite kinds of chocolate, prepare to be here all day) But I LOVE LOVE LOVE Reeses peanut butter cups!!!! Yum, yum, they are delicious!!!!! And twix. Mmmmm…
102 – Dark is great. I agree with you on everything you said except the part about Twix bars. I love Twix bars. But if I can get something with more choklit (that’s the first time I ever spelled it that way) then I’ll get that before a Twix bar or something. And that I haven’t had choklit with caramel apples. Now that I think of it, I haven’t had a caramel apple since about 1st grade.
103 – I’ve never had Nutella. I’ve seen it, though. Lots of people I know have had it. Apparently it’s very good.
102- Nutella is excellent.
NUTELLA YUMM!! So are peanut butter Kisses, Kissables, and Dulce De Leche Oreos.
107) A great way to put it!
Did you know that half the kids at my school don’t have any idea what nutella is?
Weird.
I didn’t have any Idea either until recently. I’ve never tried it. Should I? Have I been missing out?
#106: I luff your new name!
110: yes. absolutely.
111 – Thank you. I haven’t seen you as emogrl in a while.
56- Washing machines are AWESOME!!!
I don’t know what I’m going to be. I might not go this year :(. But my friends and I might have a party :).
I fouund the coolest fabric ever for my dragon costume! Then, alas, I remembered that I barely know how to sew. So now I have to find a store that sells red sparkaly pants…
115 – You don’t have to be able to sew to be able to use the cool fabric. Of course, I dont’ know what you want to do with the fabric, and maybe I can’t help you with that. But if you used my idea, you wouldn’t have to know how to sew.
I’m thinking of attempting to dress up in Gothic Lolita style (specifically KuroLoli) , but I don’t know if I can find the clothes for it. There’s still plenty of time to go looking until Halloween.
I just realized Louisville is like Ghost Central, USA when it comes to local urban legends. There’s well over a dozen places within reasonable driving distance from my house rumored to be haunted or frequented by cryptids, so if I can get some licensed-driver friends to go with me (I can’t get my license until I’m seventeen now…stupid new state law!) I think it’d be fun to go explore some of them on Halloween. We’ll probably end up going to check out the place where the goatman is supposed to appear since that’s the closest place. Has anyone else ever heard of the Pope Lick Monster? It’s a well known legend here, but I’m pretty sure it’s mostly a local thing since so far no one I’ve asked from outside of Kentucky has heard of it.
I luff my costume this year! *Hugs* I havent accually made it yet but… I’m going to be a headless person!!!!!!!! We are going to build a torso above my head and there will be a fake arm that swings around under my chin, so it looks like I’m holding my head. And half a fake arm will come down and there will be a hole in the pants so I can put my arm in the other half of the sleeve, so I can hold my candy!!! Wait… I have an even BETTER Idea!!! Maybe I can build it so they put the candy inside the hole where my head would go… But what if I fall over? Will the candy spill out? Will it become to heavy eith the candy weighing it down? Better just stick to holding a pillowcase…
16-i know this goes waaaaayyyyyyy back, but i just started reading this thread, and i think that’s an awesome idea! you’ll scare so many people….my brother and i thought about doing that one year…..
I’m going to be Darwin…
I’ll have a white beard, false white eyebrows, an early victorian men’s suit (somehow…), a copy of THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES, a stuffed beagle, and a hat. Definitely a hat. Because otherwise I would have long blond hair and a white beard, and that would not look very good.
I was going to be a Sasquatch, in honor of all those who believe, but the costume would have been very very hard to make…
My Hallowe’en costumes so far:
up until I was seven- Witch
Rock star-Crazy. Fun. Body glitter.
Angel- Deceptive. I stole everyone’s candy and merrily TP’d a tree that year…
Cowgirl-I had a giant spider on my back as well…please, don’t ask
Detective-Magnifying glass, green felt hat, and Trenchcoat. a marvel of simplicity.
Nefertiti -this one took hours and hours to make and also about fifty pounds of skin tint. Lots of makeup besides that, and lots of hair gel to make my hair stay inside the two foot tall crown. And endless search for the right shoes. And people kept calling me King Tut.
Judge-graduation gown, curly white wig, and Ben Franklin glasses. During the Harriet Miers fandango.
121.) Here its illegal to TP things. I am glad, because my dad used to be a Varsity Coach for boy scouts, and we got TP’d once. It rained that night, too, and it hurt our trees. And it made all the neighbors mad at us.
I have to go as santa this year, and as such decided I might as well be what was nicknamed (because nobody wanted to say santa on vacation that many times) Bahama Santa. Now I just have to make sure that Longs is stocking santa’s beard before halloween. It isn’t above them though, fortunately.
Oh yes, and i’ve been a lamb (Okay, so it was just the lamb ears, but I still got my first taste of chocolate.) a magician (Wanna see what’s in my hat?!) a fairy, *blanking out*, a gymnast, a jockey, a witch, a rabib insano HPB complete with plastic sabre, and this year, thanks to having sworn last year I was going to be santa since so many people called me the easter bunny (You never would’ve thought they had such violent images of the easter bunny, eh?) Bahama Santa.
Whoever gets to moderate these posts are going to be mad at me for posting three times at once, but anyways
108- Dulce De Leche Oreos? What is this world coming to?! Five years ago I tell someone mum got some dulce de leche and they look at me crazy, now they’re like ‘Oh! That caramel stuff?!’ Bet they haven’t made any themselves, much less exploded it all over their ceiling in the middle of the night!
Alright, i’m done ranting. Well, until I see something else to rant about.
Don’t know what I’m going as this year. The IRS auditors thing-vvv funny!(16- wayy back!). Last year I went as a floating sheet. EVERYONE was convinced I was a gost. Any costume suggestions?
dress as an ape and wear a sign saying “El Presidente Numero Uno”
127: I like that. Or maybe a George Bush mask with a sign sticking out of his ear saying “space for rent”
When I was in 5th grade, a kid got in big trouble for being the Grim Reaper with a Bush mask instead of a skull.
He suddenly became my best friend.
the kid, I mean…
Huzzah!
I shall be a pirate this Halloween!
ar, matey!
121 – Nefertiti is an awesome idea! Tell me more about it!
130 – Do describe!
I told you all about my costume, and that’s all I really can say on this thread until someone says something else.
I’m going to be an Egyptian princesss. Yays! Homeade costume!

I do colonial living history, so I think I’m gonna be a colonial ghost. It should be fun.
We just went to one of those omnipresent Halloween stores. I got some hair dye, fishnet tights, and gold eyelashes, and my brother got a Scream costume, not bloody as they don’t allow those at skool. I’m doing the finishing touches on my costume, like sewing the armbands, patching up the skirt, and making the headband.
i cant wait for halloween
i always get lots of candy and the bad part is i usually dont eat a bunch of it so i still have it around easter
so eventually my mom throws it out
which is not good
*tear*
I’m going as Captain Obvious. I’ll be wearing a large cape with ‘The sky is blue’ emblazoned upon its surface, tight black clothes, a black mask if I can get it, and a large placard on my chest that says ‘Captain Obivous’ or just ‘CO’. T’will be lovely.
137 (m’self)- I just realized I typed ‘large’ as ‘lager’. That’ll teach me not to proofread.
Next year I wanna be a red pencil.
im curious what the wierdest costume is that you have seen and been
i saw a mcflurry once it was sooooooo strange
i was a parrot once(random)
i have seen the most bizzare costumes …… very strange
134_ Cool Idea!
I’m going as Young Link! I got a costume off of eBay but I still need to make my own shield. And I’m already getting a jump on next year- I’m going to be Prince Komali (from the wind waker) or Odie!

hair-is a long blonde witch wig
dress-my bed sheets(i couldnt find anything else)
cape-omg its really cool it bilows and all that fun stuff its pure white
and my candy bag is a pillowcase w/ twine sewn through it to make it scrunch up
i was going to have an owl on my shoulder but it was falling off
i think im actually a refugee elf because im kinda disgruntled and raggy and messy and secretive
im hiding out w/ a friend elf who lives near by but she is going to look nice and organized
*gosh*
i hope i can do my part in acting
omg last year my friend (who i swear i am never going halloween candy hunting again with) he can recognize me no matter what i had a blonde wig and he knew it was me i didnt even tell him what i was going to be…………but he was soooooo annoying he was supposed to be going w/ another one of my friends who got grounded for doing i dont know what…..and he was at her house when i was trick or treating…..umm suprise attack………but we had to takehim along
he has hunted me down every year i have gone trick or treating in my neighborhood
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
it makes me sick
Halloween!!! Is soon!! Yay!!!!!!!!!
I always go to my friend’s annual Halloween party.We hang out, eat pizza, then go trick-or-treating. We fill up almost a pillowcase and a half each of candy. I’m also doing UNICEF boxes. Yay fer charity.
