Thread: Halloween 2011 - What are YOU gonna be?!

Tweet

I'm having a baby in two months, so we plan on throwing a 'small' dinner party instead of our usual blowout.

I was thinking we should go as vampires and dress baby in a little baby bat costume, BUT, now I'm thinking since it's a dinner party, maybe the cute way to go would be as the Stephens family from Bewitched!

Hubby can wear a classic 60s suit/tie, simple. I can wear a 60s style cocktail dress, flip out my hair, do winged eyeliner, and twitch my nose, simple. Baby can just be baby, simple. Darrin, Samantha, Tabitha.

It just seems like an easy way to go, but creative enough.

What do you guys think?

I love the idea Monroe. We're on a Bewitched kick in our household right now. I've ordered the Bewitched series for my little one. She's seen the Bewitched with Nicole Kidman and Will Farrell a MILLION times, so I'm introducing her to the original. Just ordered them this past week.

How many guests are you expecting? Maybe you can either ask them to dress up as a character from the show or assign a character to them if they're willing.

Going with a priest outfit......Well with a few changes.......Shredding the chest of the robe and applying a latex pentagram to my chest that looks like it was cut into flesh (thank you Spirit).......The back of the robe is getting shredded also to make room for my jumbo latex demon wings (once again thank you Spirit).......Long, sharp black fingernails......Black full eye contacts.........and a generous helping of liquid latex to give me that O' so diseased look.......Oh and I can't forget about my custom dental appliances (thank you Matt, my favorite orthodontist)

Loving that Bewitched kick!

We're expecting 20-ish? I think? Still not sure. Will make final determination post-birth! I think that may be too many guests to assign characters...That's okay, though. As long as we've got it pretty simple, I'm happy!

SO jealous you're doing both the contacts and the dental appliances...I only wish I could do that this year! I will wait to do it for a few more years; sounds like you have a GREAT costume!!

My son and I are going as Cowboys and my wife and daughter are going as Indians (that's Cattle Ranchers and Native Americans for you under 40 crowd).

No particular reason, perhaps because I saw the trailer for Cowboys vs Aliens recently.

I am in the process of finishing two Mummy costumes for the kids....many hours of adhereing strips of tea stained cloth to foundation garments...I think I will be done tonight!! My hubby is going as Plague Doctor, mask is in process, must find coat?? And as usual I am the last one to start on a costume...I am thinking of doing a more classic Halloween costume this year like Bride of Frankenstein or Vampire or witch???

well last year i said i was going to be something, and i ended up being something 110 % different loll. This year for sure im trying to pick between 2 things, first one is the guy from the horror movie called The Hills Run Red, would be very simple but creepy. The other is just a crazy looking insane butcher loll, so one or the other. Im a bigger dude so none of the store bought costumes fit me good,so I need to by different clothing items from different places to make a full costume. If i do the crazy butcher one i have seen 3 masks already that would work great, so im sure around Aug, I will decide for sure between those

Jason Voorhees. Specifically part 3.

I've got the ash gray pants and the work boots already.

Now all I need is the olive green long sleeve work shirt, machete, the latex Part 3 Hood, and the Part 3 Hockey Mask.

Machete will be the easiest of all that stuff, since it's only 5 bucks at Harbor Freight(and yes it will be a REAL machete, Halloween machetes look like crap, and yes I will be dulling the blade).

Exactly HOW will you be dulling that blade TrickRTreater???
