OT: Halloween Costume Ideas

Submitted by 707oxford on

We're a few weeks out from October 31st, so the Halloween parties are right around the corner.  Post your costume ideas here.

I've always felt that costumes are for trick-or-treaters and college students going to parties.  As I've aged though, I've also discovered that that parents are encouraged to be in costume at kids' events as well, so hopefully this is a thread most people can make use of.  

I personally have never been fond of wearing big/ornate costumes and favor those that are clever and super easy to make...think Jim from The Office:

 

Last year I was so inspired by Brady Hoke that I taped a football to my shoe and wore a T-Rex hat: Puntasaurus

a couple came with a lemon hanging on a string from her waist and a potato on a string hanging from his waist. Sour puss and dictator. Simple and easy.

Going to an adult party in a couple of weeks and am thinking of going as one of the guys from the "dick in a box" skit from snl. Or the shower curtain costume from the karate kid.

My 9 year-old daughter, who like my wife is a big fan of "Doctor Who", has decided she is going to be a Tardis for Halloween. How we are supposed to achieve that...well...we'll figure it out, but this is the aim. My son, on the other hand, wants to go out as a Power Ranger - at least the base for this outfit can be found at Party City. Not sure about myself - to aid the kids, I wandered the neighborhood in chain mail last year as a medieval foot soldier.

The "End Of OT Season" is more a narrowing of focus where considerably more discretion is used regarding what remains and what goes - it is not an absolute prohibition on such threads. As for this one, it's October and we can spare some space for people looking for costume ideas.

If I failed to make the nature of "the end of OT season" clear back in August, my apologies.

Dishwasher box from a Lowes/appliance store (ask at the delivery area). Worst case is head to your local uhaul store and buy a large moving box. Then you either tape it up and cut a hole for the head, or go with dollar store suspenders. Blue spray paint, white masking tape, and have your daughter wear a blue knit cap with a glow stick on the top. Max cost about $15, she'll love it.

Btw- my 6 yr old is going as Sabine from Star Wars Rebels, she's making the whole family dress up. I have to decide between kanan, zeb, or chopper. Nerd daughters. Love em.
