Halloween is coming up. I don't know how many of you here are planning to dress up, but this is a thread to either share what you're planning (and eventual post pictures of the costume etc) or help others brainstorm a good idea.

I'm going in with a bunch of other friends (right now we've got 8 total, but could have as many as 23) who are willing to dress up like zombies with me. We're going to run around campus like a mob straight out of 28 days later. However, the real icing on the cake is one of us will have a boombox, which will be playing thriller on repeat, and we'll be doing the dance. One of my friends has a red jacket and can do some of the MJ dance moves... so I think we're golden.

What are YOU thinking of doing?

Wow, man. You guys are going all out. That sounds fun.

I'll be working that day, so I am debating whether I should dress up for work. After all, I am a pediatrician, and I know some of my co-workers do dress up to see patients.

I have never done it before, so chances are, I'll be boring again and just put on a regular shirt and khakis for work. Doing a clown is so Patch Adams and unoriginal, so I am avoiding the cliche.

I thought of being Gordon Freeman (the obvious), and it's possible to modify a Storm Trooper suit into an HEV suit. But it takes a lot of work, and I just don't feel that motivated.

Last year I had some ideas for a really awesome haunted house. But my friends pussed out on me. It would have been SO freakin' awesome too.

The house would start at a garage enterance then lead through to a door out the back to a backyard.

So, basically, the haunted house would seem really cheesy ... until you got to the backyard. It would seem like the exit, then people dressed as zombies would be hunched over ... something ... it'd be dark so you coudn't really see. There'd be two people in the group that are "in on it". So, they'd get to the point where the two people begin arguing one being the guide, the other being the 'roudy tourist' who's bashing everything. So, they'd be fighting as everyone else notices these people walking up who're covered in gore, then as they're screaming at each other, the tourist screaming would get a huge chunk of their neck ripped out. Blood gushing out and down their body.

The tour guide would rush everyone through a door leading into the house trying to 'save' them, asking if everyone is alright and all that stuff. At this point the people would be like, "wtf, mate" and making comments. The guide would emphasize that this isn't part of the haunted house.

They'd get lead through a small hall way, which is all dimly lit ... then all lights would shut off. The ends of the hall (which is purly fabricated, since we need the sides open. The sides are lined with a type of elastic fabric.) So, then some lights would come on to dimly illuminate the hall and the 'ends' would slowly move in towards the people in the middle, then stop (so there's enough room in there, but not comfortable)

Then, very deep voice would with background, errie ass music (violins and stuff) would come on. Saying all sorts of weird crap. (good sound systems. so it'd be doable) while this stuff is being said (imagine the machine talking at the end of Revolutions) So, while that is happening arms and stuff would start coming out of the walls. It would all aburptly stop and the lights would go out. Remove the sides of the hall (with some slide mechanism or something) and have clear plexiglass or something and have the zombie return to end the house.

It's a little over complicated, but that's only normal because I never actually did it.

Haha -- the only problem with that is if you convince someone so thoroughly that they start to fight for their lives.

Then you have to deal with a hysterically violent visitor.

That's probably one of the most innapropriate Halloween costume ideas I've ever heard! :P

I'm going as the BK King, I am just going to ring someones door bell, hold out my bag and stand there. Its going to be great.

If anyone hasnt seen the commercials already, here are a few pictures of him. What he does is he stands somewhere, and waits for someone to turn around or something. Then they just see him standing there with a burger or sandwhich and he just stands there with it held out to the person.

Win, I hope you dress up all kingly... the mask alone won't get the job done!

But good idea, I say.

Also, I love how they are sold out of BK King masks already.

I dont think very people (at least where i live) will get the joke, or think its cool even. I'm sure theyd be just all confused.

I think wearing a death costume to work, with the hood up so its too dark to see your face satchmo would be insanely funny. Just put the hood down when you go into one of the "elderly" patients rooms, they might have a heart attack.

There's only one problem about running around with a crow bar that HL overlooks, thus the many Halloween costumes based on it: crow bars are quite heavy. At least, awkward and clumsy enough to require two hands to "wield".

Cool idea though. It's tough though, try to swing a crow bar around with one hand and control it like you do in HL. Pretty f**king hard.

I'm surprised no one is dressing up like Ash.
