Dude, shabby make it yourself costumes made from duck tape and carboard are always amazing. Being budget Silent Hill characters would be awesome.
Yep.
Near Hallowe'en, there's usually a thing called the Parade of Lost Souls that happens downtown, and it's had various incarnations from full out street festivals to back alley walks where residents create displays in their backyards for people to see. It's pretty awesome, and last time I went, I dressed up as... I'm not sure. Something undead. That's always what last minute costumes end up being... I don't need to do much to become an undead pirate ninja.
Two years ago, I think, I was (literary) Romanticism. I wore this green dress with leaves on wire in my hair, and half my face/limbs was all smokey and black. I had literature on me, and I was wearing a bottle around my neck that was tincture of opium.
My friend is probably coming over this year, and we'll just have a party by ourselves, decorate, give out candy, dress up, watch some Tim Burton film, and drink drinking chocolate. I love decorating... We have this area in front of our house that's perfect -- we have a gate, walkway, the front area, and we put tarp up around it, get the strobe light going, black lights, dry ice, and my favourite part is putting up the spiderwebby cottony stuffs.
I wanted to dress up as Hornygirl from Baroque. Nothing really distinct enough to bring out, though. Somebody find a costume for me! Can I hijack this thread to be about matching people up with costumes?
