I need a creative, but cheap Halloween costume. How are you guys going to dress up for this spooky holiday?
As computer geek. This way i don’t have to change anything.
I once got a straw hat at Pier One for 15 cents, that my grandmother used to dress as a scarecrow.
You could take a bandana, and attach an earring to it, and wear it on your head. Wear an alligator shirt, and go as a Long John Silver’s worker.
It is a long long time since, we used not so much dress up as do imish things such as ‘dip’ for an apple, standing upside down etc. I do recall peole eating ‘Brack’ and hoping to find a ring …
I guess all of that is now history.
Do you think, like myself, that Soooweeen is about little Aliens and thier tricks to confuse and mock our stupidity?
Throw a sheet over your head, cut a couple of holes (no, better reverse that) and go as a ghost.
Even cheaper, don’t cut the holes and go as blind ghost.
Or cut way too many holes and go as a swiss cheesy ghost
like Charlie Brown!
5 or 6 bucks worth of black cloth from wal mart. White and black face paint. Easy to paint your face into a skull pattern. I did it last year. Looked better than the mask I had. Freaky and cheap. If you have a wheat sycle it’s even better. Carefull trick or treating old people dressed as the grim reaper. They don’t think it’s funny for some reason.
My wife wants me to dress up as the Pied Piper. We have three kids and some friends of ours have six, so I could play whistle and lead 9 kids around the neighborhood.

I’m going to be a soldier, Boy George, or a nun. I’m unsure. Whatever I’m going to be, I still haven’t started sewing.
I did that one year. I found a cheap doublet and hat at a costume store. I velcro’d a rubber “squeaky rat” to one shoulder, and made a sign for my back that read “Hamlin Pest Control Services and Childcare - P. Piper, proprietor. Specializing in humane trapping and Kindermusik programs. We treat your children as if they were our own!” Add the whistle, and I had a perfect costume…the kids loved it!
Last year I cheated…I just wore my RenFaire garb.

It’s amazing what you can do with a whistle and a pumpkin…scarey.
Not as cheap, but I have a Halloween showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show in which I’m playing Dr. Frank N Furter with our cast.
Curious if there are any other Frank N Furters who play tin whistle, or C&F types familiar with RHPS… hmmmm 
Here’s a shot off the website:
Rocky Horror, to me, is like Star Wars and Harry Potter. I just don’t get it.
That’s easy Cran…it’s just a jump to the left…

My two boys were talking about going as mustard and ketchup.
I recently heard on the news that Halloween is raking in vast amounts money just on costumes. I think it’s interesting how people have been able to cash in on certain religious celebrations, such as Christmas, Easter, All Hallows Eve, St. Patrick’s, and the Tuesday before Lent.

Yup… interesting how it doesn’t seem to stress anyone’s sensitivities to make a buck off of G_D…
