Halloween costumes

Frunze · **Halloween costumes -** 10-04-2008, 03:31 AM

So, fellow Americans (and Europeans if you dare), what is your favorite Halloween costume - or else, a costume of choice for this year? As you see, I am desperately trying to get this forum in a bit more of a chatty mode as it's been very quiet lately. So come on, give me some ideas here.

Hi Frunze

Halloween costume? I think there's a culture gap here. I hide indoors with the lights off on Halloween to avoid being intimidated by gangs of marauding children (again). So I guess it's dressing gown and slippers for me

EDIT: which probably isn't much help to you.

It has only really been the past few years here in the UK that Halloween has become a big thing. When I was younger all we really celebrated was Bonfire Night on the 5th November - and this is still the big event here.

I am too old for all the Halloween thing and to be honest our here in the sticks we do not get children going round Trick or Treating.

Anyway I am usually too busy around that time of the year with my involvement in the Veteran Car Run on the first Sunday in November.

Halloween never took off here in Scandinavia - much to the regret of the retail industry

Maybe Michael Myers is to blame for that

Any ex or current President. I went as Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton and Ross Perot in the past. This year I am changing things up and going as Justin Timberlake/Andy Samberg's "Dick in the Box" SNL skit. Wahoo.

Hi GM! I know - I used to laugh at it and also turn the lights off when the children came parading and demanding candy; then the time came when I went to a number of halloween parties for grown-ups - costume parties where people got drunk, basically. It was a great time. Now I have to parade MY children around when THEY demand candy from strangers; although here the kids do make a deal of it, parents have to come with, since who knows what kind of real monsters are out there any day of the year and not just October 31st.

So my son demanded a Transformers outfit, and the baby-girl will be a bumblebee. I will post some pictures afterwards, I think it will be a hoot.

I used to dress up as Olive Oyl for nearly a decade; now I am about 10 lbs south of that!
