I was a Crazy 88 last year. This year I might be lazy and just bust out my old Ghostbusters costume again.

Going as Palpatine. Got a cheap custom cloak made, buying a mask, already own a Force F/X saber, and I do a pretty damn accurate McDarmid impression. Should be a blast.

If any of you were planning to go as Joran Van Der Sloot you can forget it, that's mine, I called it back in July. Now I just need to find a young blond to be my Natalee. I know this girl Stephanie who says she'd put on a blond wig to help me out but I don't know how to tell her that she also needs to lose at least 25 pounds in the next 2 weeks as well.

I'm going to be Frank the Bunny and my friend is going to be Donnie Darko. We've already made the mask. I'll put up pictures when I get a chance.

Easy one I've got for my 2 1/2 year old: A business suit, some business cards (Bone of course), and a bloody knife so he can go as Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.

For lack of planning, I'll probably go with the store-bought Ghosbuster outfit I have from last year. One of these days I'm going to finish that Rorschach mask I've been trying to make. One of these days.

A few friends and I are going as the Channel 4 News Team- Ron Burgundy, Brian Fantana, Champ Kind, and Brick Tambland. It was either that, or KISS.

I swear, next year I should not be lazy and try getting the Jewish Optimus Prime costume done.

But if I end up going anywhere this Halloween and I need a costume I'll just go as the Box from Metal Gear Solid.

Ya know what really freaks me out?

Child-sized Freddy Krueger costumes.

Children dressed as a murdering child molester.

All in good fun I guess.

Going as anyone from Shaun of the Dead should be cheap and easy. I went to a Halloween party last weekend as Shaun. The costume required one used white short sleeve work shirt, a small container of burgundy fabric paint, black pants and black shoes. I used a straw to blow paint onto the shirt for splatter and applied paint to my hands and then rubbed them on the shirt to get the proper look. I also found a copy of Shaun’s name tag online and printed that out. I think I spent all of $4 putting the costume together. It looked pretty good. I’m half tempted to wear the shirt to work on Halloween, but I don’t think the flying public would be too thrilled with that. I would have gone as Ed, but I couldn’t find an I Got Wood T-shirt quick enough.

I'll be in a long brown robe with a crucifix around my neck. A sombrero and handle-bar mustache.

That's right: Jesus Christ...the J pronounced with an H.

Can't think of anything so I'm going to be the guy in my avatar again.

It's just a beige flightsuit from a surplus store, with a belt, rubber gloves, a logo that I ironed on white fabric and sewed onto the arm, a namebage written with a red paint marker, and my toy proton pack that I dug out of the basement.

I'll be warm and it's a long walk to the bars.

After visiting the Serenity board today and seeing the level of delusion that still exists there, I am going to put on a straitjacket, put a "Serenity" pin on it, and go as a Browncoat.

I'm going as a Ron Burgundy esque anchorman/reporter, complete with microphone so that when I wear the costume to work, I can do on-the-spot interviews. Also, my outfit is "the balls."

I've decided to go as dudalb. Basically, what I'm going to do is just grab on to something stupid, and then never let it go. Ever.

This was my last minute rushed attempt to join in the fun. I was on handing out candy duty at home so I thought I should at least do something to get in the spirit of things.

Imagine my delight when the doorbell rang once all night. Yep, just fuckin' once. Waste of bloody time or what. Grumble bloody grumble. Waaahh, etc.

I have no idea what I'm doing this year, and the main party I'm going to is on the 21st, giving me even less time than I thought I had. I thought about going as Indy, giving me an excuse to buy a brown leather jacket, but that's a little expensive. I really just want something comfortable to get drunk in....

The best part of Halloween is that girls get to dress as slutty as they possibly want, with no repercussions at all. The guys get drunk, and girls parade around in next to nothing. What a holiday!

This year, on my suggestion, one of my friends is going in this:



I'd go as Jabba to complement her costume, but have no idea how to even pull that off....

One costume will be Groundskeeper and philospher Carl Spackler.

As for suggestions, don't go as Santa. That's just laziness.

I'm stuck for ideas, as usual. Being a redhead limits one's options (and no, the idea of an itchy cheap wig does not sound like a good one to me). I'm not curvaceous enough to be Jessica Rabbit. I don't have the money to get a killer vintage dress and do Rita Hayworth. I'm thinking of wearing a suit and going as Scully. Or, if I'm in a bad mood, Kathy Griffin.

Or I could always go political, and be a congressional page. I could testify that Mark Foley never did anything untoward around me.

I wish I could think of a way to pull off being a dud nuclear test.
