    Re: Halloween Costumes

    I did Temple of Doom Indy a couple of years ago, revolver, machette, whip, hat, old british MkII gas mask bag. I also took a safari shirt and ripped the sleeve off a la:



    Maybe next year I'll do Professor Jones when he's in the classroom.

    WOAH! You looked just like the real Indy!

    I dont know what I will be Maybe just an old school ghost since I'm boring and dont do anything for Halloween except pass out candy and watch scary movies with my parents (wow.....and yes, I am in college. lol) My mom is putting huge glittery fake eyelashes on. we'll see how long she will keep them on.

    I'll end up putting something together. One year my aunt donated her old wedding dress and let me drag it all over the yard, rip it up, and dress up as a bride zombie. Cliche but was fun to destroy a wedding dress

    Re: Halloween Costumes

    While I know that some of you are offended by the idea of wearing kilt/Highland related wear as a Halloween costume, I have spent several years, over $1000, and put a lot of hard work and thought into my living history garb, and as a result, can't justify spending money on something else that would be a one-off, so I will going as a late 17th century Jacobite period Highlander. People love my targe- they can't believe it's battle ready until I let them hold it and feel the weight.

It was either that or pt on a pair of really dark sunglasses and tell everyone I was a Secret Service Agent.
    You could always claim to be a corporate zombie... My best friend got himself a Nixon mask and a pirate costume one year and went out as Pirate Nixon. Last year, he recycled the mask, and wore a suit instead. I'm not sure which one was more horrific...

    I need an "offended person" costume for Halloween.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
