So, not sure how many Forumites here actually celebrate Halloween, but of those who do are you dressing up this year? If so, what are you dressing up as?
Alternately, are there any Cosplayers in the group? Do you do Cosplay for something like Halloween? Or for Conventions? What types of Cosplay do you enjoy?
For me personally, I have several choices.
1. I have a Captain America jacket, shield and helmet that I am looking to sport if the weather is right
2. I have an old "Michael Meyers" Face mast, which I am sure some of you know was actually a 'William Shatner' mask just used for the movie. So I was going to do a Genre Mash-up with "Michael Meyers" mask and Star Trek TOS Gold shirt and a big foam knife just to see if anyone got it.
3. Last year I dressed up as Harry Dresden, only no one got it and I ended up as "One of the Cowboys from Tombstone".
4. I picked up a really nice 'Punisher' shirt just recently and could do THAT as well.
What about the rest of you?

1. Outrageously over-buy the candy.
2. Pass out some to the trick-r-treaters.
3. Eat the rest myself over the next week.
Yeah, I actually went out and purchased "Wolverine claws" with the idea that I might use them in a costume design. However the reality is that I wouldn't dare wear them out to a public bar or anything. That is just a recipe for disaster. Get in any sort of altercation (intentional or not) and they become 'Assault with a deadly weapon". Same with going to work. No way I would give HR the field day that they would have with someone showing up with 6 metal blades (no matter how dull) sticking out of his hands.
To be honest, I am almost worried that they would be illegal where I live but don't know how to go about finding out without getting arrested myself... LOL.
But I was mistaken for Che Guevara.

Edit: That's a big mix-up. Did you shave?
I will be a dementor.
It's fine, I have decided to put them together in a display case and hang them on the wall so the money wasn't a complete waste.
As for this year, I'll be a Ripper from an obscure MMORPG Dark Eden and I can't even find a concept art of it.
