Okay -- So its technically not halloween yet, but here in college
Saturday is the night for parties, so this is when everyone dressed up.
The plan for having a group of zombies dressed up with 1 of us being Michael Jackson worked out really well. How much does the guy in the middle look like MJ?!
Here's another photo of us:

The Zombie idea is pretty badass! I was lazy this year, I just got some colored contacts and made myself look a bit freaky. It worked really well. I had people recoil from me on the street! The best part about it is that it isn't obviously a costume, so it keeps people uncertain and adds to the shock value.

They aren?t really good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one tumbles down the stairs.

Wow -- those contacts work wonders...
Yeah, we went all out with the costumes and I really looked pretty gross. It was hard to talk to people at parties.![<img src=]()

TracerBullet, you look like Anakin Skywalker.
I am considering to dress up as Harry Potter. It's not the most original, but it's respectable for a pediatrician. All the nurses are begging me to dress up.

I ran into a harry potter last night, there was also a redhead friend
who had dressed up as Ron. It worked out pretty well.

No, he looks more like John Travolta imo...
Anyway, there's no Halloween in estonia so f**k it... But if I could, I'd probably dress as Death... black robe and if I COULD (stressing the world could), I'd do something with my hands and face so they would look as real skeleton faces... I'd probably commit couple of murders aswell and carry around their heads... I can't help being a sadist.

get some white and black facepaint. mix them for some gray, and
dilute it with water to make it look less like paint and more like the
tint of your skin. Use some eyeliner pencil thing for the eyes.

The contacts were $60... pretty spendy for just one item, but not bad since it was the only component of my "costume". I'm going to try to save them and use them again next year, but I don't know if they are shelf-stable like that after they've been used.
As for the actor resemblences... my face IS pretty angular like both of the mentioned people, but I accentuated it with soot from a candle flame to make myself look much more gaunt than I really am.

Quite scary, but what MadeDog said turned out to be true.
Times Staff Writers
October 30, 2005
Two days short of Halloween, a 19-year-old Aliso Viejo man wearing a paintball mask and dark cape terrorized his neighborhood Saturday morning by gunning down a woman and her father in their home and taking aim at others before committing suicide, authorities said.
"He looked like he could have been going out for Halloween ? like Darth Vader," Lt. Erin Giudice, a spokeswoman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department, said of the shotgun-toting teenager, who also shattered a window of another neighbor's house and pointed his weapon at a resident before it misfired.
The gunman, William Freund, had no relationship with his victims, although they were acquainted, sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said. "It appears to be a random shooting," he said. "This a very tragic and very bizarre story."
The shootings, in an upper-middle-class neighborhood called California Summit, began just after 9 a.m. on Somerset Drive, a circular street with about two dozen single-family homes.
Freund ? wearing a cape and a dark paintball helmet with a clear face shield ? left his house on Sunbury Drive, which crosses Somerset, drove his car less than 100 yards around a corner, entered the neighbors' house and opened fire, according to deputies. Christina Smith, 22, and her father, Vernon Smith, 45, were killed. One body was found in the family room and the other on the staircase, Amormino said.
Christina's 20-year-old brother, who was not further identified, escaped unhurt through the back door, Amormino said. Her mother was at work.
After leaving the Smiths' house, authorities said, Freund shot at a house across the street, breaking a window and slightly injuring a man inside with the falling glass. Freund then tried to shoot at another man who had come outside to investigate, Amormino said, but the weapon did not fire.
Finally, Freund walked slowly back to his own house and shot himself with the shotgun.
Amormino said more deaths could easily have occurred. "Everybody [in the neighborhood] feels lucky, but very sad." Most are in shock, he said.
Freund lived with his parents, who were being questioned by deputies Saturday afternoon. They were not identified by deputies, but property records show that the home belongs to Dennis J. and Karen L. Freund. They could not be reached for comment.
Based on 911 calls, Amormino said, the incident spanned just three to four minutes.
The first calls from the Smiths' neighbors came at 9:07 a.m., he said, followed quickly by another set of calls from Freund's neighbors.
Amormino said deputies found no signs that Freund had been using drugs or alcohol.
Stunned neighbors who gathered in front of their homes Saturday afternoon described Freund as quiet kid who sometimes played his guitar in front of his house.
"He was always with his parents," said a 15-year-old neighbor who lives a block away.
Freund attended nearby Aliso Niguel High School, graduating in 2003. He did not sit for a yearbook photo.
At a homecoming dance at the school Saturday night, none of those interviewed said they knew him, and even in his own neighborhood, no one seemed to know him well.
"I'm just freaked out," said Shannon Hill, 36, who lives three doors from Freund. "We're just like, 'Did he go freako?' It's not like we heard any yelling or anything over there."
The Smiths, described as an outgoing and friendly family, were known for their decorative holiday displays. Every Christmas, said a neighbor, the Smith house looked like "a miniature village with multiple Christmas trees. They are really welcoming to everyone in the neighborhood."
On Saturday, the house, cordoned off by yellow crime-scene tape, was decked in Halloween colors, with miniature ghosts, goblins, witches and skeletons hanging from its porch.
A couple of blocks away, a child's birthday party was in full swing, with young guests still arriving in costume.
"This is the ultimate suburb," Ephraim said. "It's scary to think something like this could happen so close to home."
Other residents said they hadn't heard the shots.
"In the morning," said Yoshie Harada, 46, "I noticed the streets were blocked off," but she said she thought deputies were trying to keep party-goers at a nearby college campus from parking in residential areas.
"It is surprising," she said of the shooting.
"But then again, it could happen anywhere."

These stories of people coming unhinged always fill me with a mixed
sense of anger and pity. This seems like a motiveless crime...

If they're reusable then its definitely worth it... but I bet in 365
days when you go to open the contact case all you get are tiny particles.

I got some of these contacts as well.
The were a little cheaper. But I kept them about 2 or more years in salt-solution and the are not dissolved. I trew them away - cause I never will need them again. But I guess I could have used them again.
