The Dreaded Annual Halloween Kilt Thread - 2009

[McMurdo]

I suppose it's time for me to reveal what my all hallows eve costume will be this year, does anyone remember The WickerMan with Christopher Lee as Lord Summerisle?




Now who wants to dress as Edward Woodward?


All I really need now is the crazy 70's hair now.

OH MY!



You need to carry around a blueprint for the wickerman around with you

(and a measuring tape)

The Wickerman is one of my favorite Iron Maiden tunes, as well!

I am still thinking of going as the mascot of Little Caesers Pizza. Orange Toga. MUG still, but not a kilt.

2005, at Butser Ancient Farm near Petersfield, we saw them constructing something on that order. . .

Well I know what I'll be wearing. My wedding kilt...ha. Its all coming together now. Thanks to joining this site, I won't be wearing white hose, a PC during the day, or a tartan tie. Unfortunately I still gotta wear the face You all have steered me the right way I think. My girlfriend still wants me to wear the cummerbund to dinner, but you know what they say "Happy wife, Happy life." Honestly I don't see anything wrong with em, but I guess I'm a 21st century guy.

I didn't realise that folks on the other side of the pond actually had Samhain (I'm a pagan) dress up days at their place of work!

Over here we used to have nothing , at work or at home, until about ten or fifteen years ago when we imported the North American 'trick or treat' stuff. Before that we had absolutely nothing and used to see you guys doing your thing on US sitcoms etc.

As for taking it into work, I think it'll be a few years yet before we pick up on that. But, as with all things American, it'll hop on a cyber boat and sail its way over here one fine day!

An interesting thread from a bemused onlooker!

Need to be careful with the direction this is going.

But here we get multiple trick or treats / Halloweens. Some communities keep theirs on a set day as best they can (like Thursdays) and sometimes they have parades for the holiday the day before 'beggar's night' and some kids will go 2 different days in different towns, not to mention some malls have a special night as well.

Next year will be crazy... many towns around here, for the gods know what reason, refuse to allow Trick or Treating on a Sunday.

I think you'll find we have everything over here. Not a pagan, but the idea of new beginnings is kinda cool. It's gonna be real pretty with the moon nearly full.
