But the problem with going as slender man is that everyone will think you're jack skellington

I'm not really sure what I'm going to do.. right now david and I are planning to be a 50's couple only I'm a werewolf and he's been torn to shreds. kind of an American werewolf in london type deal. It's a pain in the ass to find caps for my teeth cause my teeth are all fucked up so we will see. I need to find a poodle skirt and "lettermans jacket" for david.

That costume is money! Points for originality.

I'm going to a Sci-Fi/Fantasy themed Halloween party and I could use some suggestions. The theme is pretty far-reaching so I figured you people would have some good ideas.

Go as Decker.

Trying to get my friends to do a Big Lebowski theme this year. I called Walter.

The only problem with Decker is that there's probably going to be at least five dudes there dressed as him.

Wear purple underneath the coat and keep a stick and some cards in the car. If other Deckers show up claim to be Gambit.

I smile every time I see this picture. It brings joy to my life.

Great costume idea!

**GlowBear** · 10-17-2012, 02:24 AM

I'm returning a favour to someone and my costume gig for halloween will be based on whatever I'm wearing to MCM Expo. Something that is a decent con but once you've done it once or twice and aren't a cosplayer ect there's not much point going again. But a friend came to Eurogamer and had a blast, so she asked if I'd come with her and folks and join their onesie cosplay thing. Yes I might actually be cosplaying *gulp*.

I'd like to make something cool and unique (or a female Bananman/Indiana Jones), but lack of costume making skills means I might just resort to a standard animal onesie or an ensemble of items with pandas on it. Cos pandas are cute fuckers!!!

I hate these costumes because they're so badly fitted and because it all sags it barely resembles the character

**noobspoon** · 10-17-2012, 02:29 AM

Not banana man. Bananas in pyjamas, yellow morph suit+pyjamas=profit.

**GlowBear** · 10-17-2012, 02:31 AM

Be such an easy costume. I might just get a funky Panda hoodie and wear Panda Pj bottoms I got in Primark. So lazy

This place does cool onesies but outta my current price range.

**noobspoon** · 10-17-2012, 02:33 AM

If you go in an animal onsie people might take you for a fury. Totally dig that squirrel onsie though.

**GlowBear** · 10-17-2012, 02:37 AM

That was my initial worry. That place is furry centric, but gets a bad rap when I don't know why. Cons are cons, con snobbery is just stupid.

But the Owl one is so cool
