2 In a row
I'm having a halloween party next weekend, what's the best costume you can think of.

I'm currently thinking of going as a creeper from Minecraft. If you know what that is, you'll agree it's a good costume, but most people wont... so I don't know.

I generally agree, but I'm hosting and a bunch of my simpler friends
are very excited about it.

Cover yourself in fake blood, have an 'umbilical cord' hanging out, and sellotape a wire hanger to your head.

Next one I go to I'll probably do a Gordon Freeman, since I've now got the glasses.
but I think building an HEV suit is a bit less fancy dress than it is cosplay, so maybe I won't.

Just dress normally then if anyone asks why I'm not in costume just say "oh, I am, I'm a date rapist" and just smile at them.

Whatever you go as the key is being able to have a drink

It is also horrendously geeky

There will have to be arm flaps and a detachable head built into the creeper design.

that doesn't make it in any way better.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Fri 21 Oct 2011, 12:09, Reply)

It's a cool costume that'll be understood by about 10-12 people at the party.

(PsychoChomp, Fri 21 Oct 2011, 12:11, Reply)

I wouldn't want to go to a party where 10-12 people understood it

me neither
but i know what a creep is.

i have a medical-themed costume in mind for my friend's party too. i have this ann summers nurse costume which when zipped up properly is simply a knee-length neck-high white dress with all the trimmings, so i think i'll slosh some fake blood on it, rip it a bit, mad hair and make-up and go as some sort of bedlam nurse. as the costume isn't going to get its original use, this seems like quite a good one to put it to! better than Q-ing at the non-stop-party-shop on high st ken anyway.

any idea on a london date yet?? and are your little ones going trick or treating??

but most probably November 11th or 12th :)
