Halloween costume Ideas 2013 whatcha got? (1 Viewer)

Damn, that's actually awesome.  Of course that clip is from the mid 70s.
yea, I know. I realized that the other day, but my friends are all to dumb to remember that...it's just some cartoon we watched as kids, which loosely qualifies. It'll be a cool costume regardless.  

 
Headed to our first halloween party at some new friends house. Apparently they go all out with fog machines/lights, a photo booth (prom style), etc. and some 'delicious' punch- which we've been warned on multiple occasions not to have more than one glass of. We were hanging out with them a few weeks back and the punch came up again. Figured out there's Everclear in it, and judging by the hosts warnings, a LOT of it. 

As for ideas, being a big guy the options are significantly smaller. I figured I'd be edgy and tossed this out to the wife.

Me: Oh here's something, I can dress up as a gorilla

Wife:  :confused:  I guess, but won't you be hot in it.

Me: Maybe, but at least I can order it big enough to fit.

(She's normally pretty sharp, maybe she wasn't paying attention)

Wife: Whatever, what will I be then?

Me: A zoo worker...(wait for it)... with a gun

Wife: Oh hell no! That's terrible, do you want to start a riot?!?! People in this city are still talking about it.

FTR: We live in Cincy and this group is very diverse. That costume would surely stir the pot. We might not get invited back. Playing it safe this year (Mario and Princess Peach) to get the lay of the land.

@glvsav37 that mini golfer is awesome. I see the platform is divided, but that must have been a pain to move around in. Was that foam core or an actual wood platform?

 
@odin33 you should do the ape along with your wife as peachy but as Mario Kart. Make something like this and you can throw bananas around the party. 

thanks...it was a mild pain to walk around in. It was actually made up of those cardboard tubes for pouring footings with some insulation foam core on top. I used L-brackets to hold them together, then threw some of that fake grass carpeting over it. Used thin metal wire as super twist ties to hold the grass to the foam. Then just cut holes over the foundation tubes sand slid my legs in. I cut a small 1/2 circle at the base of the tubs so my feet could slide through. 

This is actually the finished version with the cup and flag added.

Halloween is my jam...I love making funky costumes. Here are some of my most recent.

Spare Manequin Parts Guy

Rocket Man

So we were invited to a family Halloween party. I was in no mood to dress up this year due to everything thats happened the last few months. That being said, I wanna do so for my son. So I decided on something very easy for this party...

Brown monk robe,

One of those baby carriers that looks like a backpack

Stuffed animal inside the carrier

Sandals

Hodor

you gotta stay in character the whole party and only say "hodor" 

bonus points if you stand by the bathroom and block anyone from trying to get out.

 
Harambe will probably be popular. 
Ordered a month ago:

Mask: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KRG8GRU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

First user review, one star because product description said the mask is waterproof :lmao: :

Wasn't bulletproof. 0/10
Sweater: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LQF81IK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Mini angel wings, because he's in gorilla heaven after being murdered in cold blood: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002M0B28U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 
I'm thinking of going with the randy macho man savage costume but wearing a sombrero instead and being randy muchacho man

 
Ive gone as something where I can do a funny voice every year lately.

Gru, Hulk Hogan, joint costume last year as Hans and Frans

This year its Inigo Montoya

Gru was the most popular thus far with the kids and most of the adults too.

Hulk was probably the most fun...did it for Halloween (after doing a beer run that year with a group doing Rocky III and I was Thunderlips).  The beer run was most fun walking around to everyone in downtown Nashville after just saying "hey brother" or lines that were actually Thunderlips (since so many people just thought I was being Hulk).

 
College age son, friend, and girl friend going as Ferris, Cameron, and Sloane.

Actually proud of him to know about the movie considering he wasn't due for 10 years when it came out.

The host of this party wouldn't happen to be a guy named Rick, would it?  Short round guy, long beard?   I'm sure there's only one Halloween party going on in Cincinnati. 

ETA:  RIP Harambe

 
My son and daughter are going as Batman and Batgirl this year. So I'm dressing up as Joker. Got the purple suit. The mask freaks them out too much so I'll just do some white face paint and green wig.

This is proper parenting.

No one knew who I was.  Had this conversation at least 8 times..

Party guest:  "What are you dressed as?"

EG: Did you ever see the 1986 action thriller "Cobra," starring Sylvester Stallone?

Guest : "No."

EG: Never mind.
If someone is that culturally deprived, they probably aren't worth talking to anyway.  These are the same people that probably didn't cry at the end of Over the Top.

They're the disease.   You're the cure.
