Happy Tree Friends? That sounds like an awesome group costume idea! And super cute...you have to remember though, sometimes little kids are scared of Santa, so it is nothing you all did. Actually, I am very impressed with your improv Superman.
Ha! I think haunted houses have become more intense over the years...the last one I went to was when I was 17, and, ahem, that was a couple decades ago. So I am in the wimp category, too!
It's funny, our families were all saying it was a cute idea too, meanwhile we are standing around trying to be taken serious for once in our lives. But it was a good time all in all.
Really though? I think they are becoming less intense. Or maybe its just because I am growing up. When I was little I was scared to death of them and horror movies. But now I just laugh my head off to everyone I go to. The funny thing is, my girlfriend is 18 and I don't think she has ever been to one so that must make her a super wimp or something along those lines!
Uno: Went as Altair on my last year trick-or-treating, that had to be one of the best days for me ever, I was like the coolest kid on the block. (Though I usually was, all my costumes were custom-made)
Dos: A freaking sheet with two misaligned holes for eyes. Nuff said.
Tres:I didn't have a favorite... Just chocolate bars in general I guess...
Cuatro: Some guy just dumped a whole bag of almond joy's in my bag, and I'm allergic to coconuts...
Cinco: No... At least not yet...
Seis: I go out, scare some little kids who's parents aren't with em' then go in, and eat whatever candy we've got left.
This is a fun one:
1. I would have to say my best was a Psycho Surgeon. I had homw made knives and hachets covered in blood. My Mrs went as my "experiment" with fake throat slash and everything mwhahahahahaha
2. Worst costume was probably when I was younger and I just had one of those cheap plastic monster masks.
3. Money was always the best but getting a full size chocolate bar was always good too.
4. Worst was fruit or an I.O.U lol they def got tricked for that.
5. The usual stuff, silly string, foam, and toilet paper. Sometimes sprayed through the letter box mwhahahahaha
6. Mostly it will be fancy dress parties with plenty of drinks, good friends and music. No more trick or treating not until I have my own kids.
1. What was your best costume?
A couple of years ago I was running very late to a halloween party. I dashed into a fancy dress shop to find something to wear but all they had left was absolute garbage. Knowing that there would be prizes for the most scary costume I eventually decided to splash some cash on this awesome thing locked up behind the counter...
...'The Nemesis' from Resident Evil 2!!
I got home and shoved on my black flasher mac. Job done, nobody was competing with me after that...
Since then 'The Nemesis' has visited several more parties and comes in different flavours each year (radiation suit/grim reaper cloak....you get the idea)
2. What was your worst costume?
Can't remember my worst. Probably involved a bin bag...
3. What was your favourite treat?
Champagne!
4. What was your worst treat?
A bag of nuts from one of my great grandparents, she was a little eccentric and didn't like them once she'd sucked the chocolate off...
5. Favoured 'trick'?
'The Nemesis' now comes out at this time every year! He answers the door to all the local kids when they come trick or treating....they don't come round as much these days.
6. What do I do now at halloween?
As above, I'll be getting him out of his cage very shortly come to think of it...
Ah, Miraak, so you are the one I have to watch out for when taking my kids out trick or treating? Watch out...that person in costume that has the height of a fifth grader might be a mom in disguise...
Altair? That is fabulous! How long did it take for you to assemble it?
Guy, that is an awesome picture...psycho surgeons, psycho clowns...for some reason I am hearing a Talking Heads song echoing in my brain! Seriously, you both look like you had a great time!
Wow, you all getting money for treats is pretty amazing...definitely worth trudging around the neighborhood for. And it seems you have the evil laugh down just perfectly, Guy! Have you all decided what it is going to be this year costume-wise?
Popcorn balls?? I cannot believe I forgot about those! I think I usually pitched those, as the one time I had it, it tasted pretty stale (and that was before all the razors in candy scare).
Your costume Ben, sounds udderly amoozing! How could you only have a "little fun" in that??
Mason, when that Nemesis photo popped up on my computer screen, I literally jumped up and away from it...sounds like you could scare more than little kiddies with that thing...
Champagne?? Between that and Lex's zeppole, I think I would plop myself on the corner with my loot and be very, very happy!
Your number 4..... That is all that can be said to that...
