Best Costumes
I'm thinking of going as a Flux Capacitor to Mr. B3ka's Dr. Emmett Brown this Halloween.

What are the best/worst/laziest Halloween/Fancy Dress/etc. costumes you've seen?

Like!
I like this idea.

It might provide a little number of responses, but I would argue in favour of quality of answers over quantity.

Last Hallowe'en, Mrs Crow looked really quite wonderful as a LOTR-style elf. Me? I turned up as the Paedo-Finder General*. You can probably guess whose costume went down better.

So you should definitely go as a flux capacitor.

I happen to be able
To walk on stilts fairly well. This isn't normally a useful talent, but it comes into its own on hallowe'en.

Picture, if you will, me. About 5'8", slight beard, ginger-brown hair, glasses. Fairly nondescript looking.

Now take me up to 7'8". Slightly more impressive.

Now dress me in a huge flowing black robe with a black veil to hide my face, and attach two glowing red LED's to my glasses, at a slightly wider width than normal human eyes.

Now imagine you're six years old, and you walk up to my house, all unsuspecting...

I made several start crying and one piss himself in fear - the parents were even better though. I've had grown men and woman scream and run away...
