Halloween!

Postby **Jayelle** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 5:32 pm

Snow White is my go-to costume, so if I can't think of anything I'll go with that again.

Paul is going to Manitoba Comic Con and Halloween as Dr. Horrible, I may dye my hair red and go as Penny.

Or... I've always wanted to be Batgirl.

I have a 4 hour anatomy exam on halloween... I think I'll be going as "Disgruntled Vet School Student."

We're getting together as many people as possible to cover as much of the Mario pantheon as we can. I've yet to choose who I'm going as.

I think I'm going to be Arwen, simply because I have a pattern for this awesome renaissance-esque dress, and I need an excuse to make and wear it.

I like to do family costumes. We haven't decided for sure what we're going to be this year, but our top 3 choices are Toy Story, Princess Bride and Wizard of Oz. Tyler is the one who gets to make the final decision, but I'm using my motherly persuasion powers to steer him towards Wizard of Oz (I've got a great dress to be a modern Glinda!).

We had no trick or treaters, sadly. Now we have a ton of candy that I'm going to have to eat.

I went to a really sweet Halloween carnival though. The box maze was particularly amazing (excuse the pun, it wasn't intentional). As was my costume.

A 5 year old boy recognized me has Hermione immediately. I love how much HP has infiltrated our society.

That's an amazing Hermione costume. You give Emma Watson a run for her money. Yowzers!

My mom's family used to host a big community Halloween party in their barn loft every year. There was usually a theme. One year we did our own original halloween musical "The Lost Little Witch" (oh yeah It'll be on youtube eventually, heh) and one year we did wizard of oz. My great uncle had the most elaborate tin man costume, it was awesome. I can't remember what I went as that year, I was twelve or thirteen so I might have been 'rebellious' and gone as something stupid that wasn't part of the theme.

Last spring I told my friend that if she got our other friend to grow his hair out we would have the right people to do the Cowboy Bebop crew. I didn't expect him to do it, so I agreed to be Edward.

I'm worried they'll remember, now that his hair is grown out.

I'm being the Black Knight. From Monty Python. With a long tee-shirt, black pants, felt, tinfoil, and a box.

Mom won't let me fashion a pump so I can spout blood.

My go to costume is a cat or a witch. I haven't really decided what i'm going to be this year.

Another Halloween, another year of resenting Anna Nichole Smith's untimely demise. Sigh. I'd've been so good at that. But it just still seems too soon to be her, and by the time I feel like it isn't tacky, it'll be too late.

Anyways, that aside, Pweb? Can you keep a secret? (I don't think anyone I know in real life posts here, and I hope I don't know any lurkers.)

I'm going back to ND for Halloween this year! Two of my friends are throwing a Halloween costume party with a Star Wars theme. A ton of people will be there, including me

My boyfriend and his roommate know, but that's it. I cannot wait. Seriously.

The downside is that I have never seen Star Wars, and it is unlikely I will actually have a costume. Unless I bring popcorn and call my costume movie-goer.

Wha...?! I'm not saying everyone should love it/them, but I do think everyone should at least watch one of the Episodes.

I have some (cheap) SW masks -Vader, Maul, if you would like to borrow one.

I also have SW costume patterns but I don't know how to sew and I don't have the fabric...otherwise, I'd go as a Jedi.

I'm going to go as the same thing I've been for the last 8 years: A Time Lord. No, not Doctor Who. I'm Senior Who. The name is because I started it as a Senior in High School.

Maybe I should be "Bachelor Who" though, now that I've graduated... I sometimes change the name. (I was "Elder Who" on my mission.) But "Senior Who" still has a nice sound to it.

I went out with a girl once that had never seen Star Wars. It was real funny, once she was trying to make a point about something else and said "It's like in Star Wars. The good guy was fighting against this guy that was really bad. And the bad guy said... well, it turns out that he was the father of the good guy. ..."

LilBee91 · Postby **LilBee91** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 11:30 pm

One of my friends had never seen Star Wars, Indiana Jones, or Lord of the Rings. We've been trying desperately to enlighten her, but she has a crazy schedule, and we've only managed to cover the first two LotR and part of Raiders of the Lost Ark. It is quite sad, really.

I still need to talk to the sewers I know about helping me make my Arwen dress. I've sewn a bit (pj pants and a skirt,) but I don't think that's enough skill to make me try such a project solo.

Gravity Defier · Postby **Gravity Defier** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 8:36 pm

*happy dance* I have a costume!

A friend was cleaning out her closet, found her prom dress from senior year and she didn't want it anymore, knew I collect stuff like that for my trunk, and gave it to me. It's actually not what I describe as your typical prom dress; it's less flashy or somewhat modest or something.

Anyway, I was playing with it late last night/early this morning and decided it'd be perfect for an angel costume. All I need is a slip (it's very see-through without one) and a halo.

starlooker · Postby **starlooker** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 9:07 am

Yeah, I know. It's very strange for someone my age. I've seen all the parodies, if that counts -- Space Balls, the Family Guy parody, etc. I have a feeling if I ever do watch the actual episodes, I'm going to be sitting there going, "Why isn't this funny?"

My boyfriend sat me down and forced me to watch the Indiana Jones trilogy before I left.

(So... what are you all going to say when I tell you I've lived to be 28 and have never seen a single Kevin Bacon movie? Not one, not ever? And not really on purpose, either. When I go to his filmography, it's full of movies that I sit there and go, "Oh, yeah, I meant to see that -- never got around to it. Oh well." It's like there's a cosmic force shielding me from Kevin Bacon.)

Star Wars aside, because I can understand that on a non-fan level...but no Kevin '6 degrees of separation because I'm everywhere and in everything' Bacon movies? Ever? Not Tremors or Footloose or Hollow Man or Stir of Echoes or Flatliners? Kirsten. I don't know what to say.

Petra456 · Postby **Petra456** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 5:41 pm

I can't really think of any Kevin Bacon movies i've seen either.

Eddie Pinz · Postby **Eddie Pinz** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 12:43 am

Oh Alea,

How I love the fact that you put Tremors first.

zeroguy · Postby **zeroguy** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 1:37 am

Not Tremors or Footloose or Hollow Man or Stir of Echoes or Flatliners?

I haven't seen any of these, either. I'd ask why the hell she hasn't seen Apollo 13.

Fun movie, no?

I am not shocked. At all. Not even a little bit.

I'd ask why the hell she hasn't seen Apollo 13.

Guess what; I haven't seen that one so I can't ask. But you sort of took care of that.

Today was Kevin Bacon Day on the radio. Leave it to pweb to make a surreal morning even more so.

I'm sad that no one AT ALL has mentioned The Air Up There.

Now that was a... well, it was a movie. I haven't seen it in years, so I can't say if it was actually good or not. I remember thinking it was awesome.

What about A Few Good Men?!

Borommakot_15 · Postby **Borommakot_15** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 7:12 pm

I had to wiki Kevin Bacon.

The only one of his listed movies I have seen is Apollo 13.

hm.

I am a champ at 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.

It's a shame you can't play it online, but there's no way to prove I didn't use imdb.

Oh good. You get a gold star.

starlooker · Postby **starlooker** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 1:00 pm

Nope. No A Few Good Men, no Apollo 13 no JFK, no Footloose. I've gone through IMDB thoroughly. Not a single movie.

However, to prove that I am, in fact, human, I have not entirely escaped Kevin Bacon. I did see the Will and Grace episode he was in.

BonitoDeMadrid · Postby **BonitoDeMadrid** » Wed Oct 15, 2008 4:39 pm

I checked out and apparently I, entirely, escaped Kevin Bacon. Am I not human, apparently?

(Though, a much harder task would be dodging Jack Nicholson)

Kirsten and Fred, I feel like you owe me a Kevin Bacon movie now; I just watched Breakfast at Tiffany's (for the first time ever).

Just because you watched Breakfast at Tiffany's, i'll watch a Kevin Bacon movie for you.
