Duh Aficionado Magazine: this weekend is Halloween. Very niiiiiice! Did I just blow your mind with my BREAKING NEWS? So, what is everyone going to dress up as? This is your chance to share your secrets with the world! I know that telling people what your costume is before the BIG DAY is a little like the groom seeing the bride before they tape their episode of Bridezillas, but this is a safe place. You can also feel free to share the following information: favorite candy, Jack-O-Lantern designs, ghost stories, prime trick-or-treating routes, anti-Halloween RANTS, apple-bobbing strategies, Trauma-Rama, and basically anything Halloween related. This is it. “Gabe, not to tell you how to do your job, but isn’t this a website about movies and TV and YouTubes? Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to tell everyone all about how I’m going to dress up like one of Ben Stiller’s twin boys in The Royal Tenenbaums, but you could you just please explain to me how this fits into the site’s general Mission Statement?” Sure. How about this: YOU CAN ALSO TALK ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE HORROR MOVIES. Boom. Now hush. And the next time you want to share with me your opinion with how I am doing my job, imaginary person that I just made up who represents overblown concerns that no one actually has because this is the Internet and there are no rules and who cares, I will make believe ask you!
Boo! Spooky! Comments!

I don’t know how to take this Voltron costume off.
That’s not working?
True story: this woman I know is going to attach milk cartons to each tit, a lemonade dispenser at her crotch and a chocolate fudge dispenser above her butt so that she will be “Milk, milk, lemonade around the back is where the fudge is made.”
That’s your girlfriend.
I’d be more surprised if SW didn’t have a friend that was doing this.
Steve Winwood just ruined tits.
You can never ruin tits.
No, that woman you know SAYS she will be going as that. Then she’s going to realize how awkward and impractical it is to walk around with two snack dispensers impeding her movement, and will just keep the milk cartons, rip her clothes, and go as Slutty Food Fight.
Now THAT’S a costume i can get behind! I was just saying that there aren’t enough slutty halloween costumes.
I’m going as Joan Holloway…
I’ll be looking at slutty dressed girls all night like this:
I, too, am dressing as Joan. Only I will be covered in blood and carrying around a severed foot. I can’t find anyone to dress as a John Deer.
Damn, that’s awesome! Maybe I’ll carry around a vase, threaten to smash people with it…
Or maybe an accordion.
Whatever. Why do you wear that pen around your neck, then, huh? So you can sigh checks faster? -Sluts
I wear this pen around my neck so I can distract you as I raise this vase above my head…
– Me
I’m going as Joan too! Are you a redhead or are you wearing a wig?
I’m not! (But I secretly wish I was.) My coworker has a wig she said I could use, but if that’s going to be too much hassle, I may just be brunette Joan… and I mean, fuck it, I’ll still look hot.
I try to dress like Joan on a regular basis so I don’t think I could pull it off as a costume… Sadness!
palecheekpink is def a redhead in real life.
I’m joining the Joan for Hallowe’en club! I am excited. My wig is kind of hard to style but my pen necklace and replica of one of her costumes is ~worth it~.
I think I’m going to have to make a pen necklace. Gold spray paint and sawed-off mechanical pencils, here I come!
Wait, so really no one’s going as Ms. Blankenship???
Teacherman got me a pen necklace for Christmas last year! I wore it today. It is amazing.
Agh, I need a husband like yours B… find me one?
ditto to BF. my ex bought me a pencil necklace for christmas last year. it’s apparently from the 40s.
I’m going as Joan too. I needs to find me a pen necklace STAT.
I’m dressing up as the twenty something who is annoyed at the teenagers who trick or treat but secretly wishes he could trick or treat to. (Peanut Butter M&Ms please.)
This year I was/am dressing up asBrand(on) from the Goonies. I did it up with the red bandanna, the gray sweatpants and the red shorts over the sweatpants. It was cheap, too.
i was sloth one year and i gave out halloween size baby ruths all night. it was a big hit.
hope no one thinks you’re dodsoning
Nah, it’s a totally different way of wearing a bandanna.
however: often people are stupid.
i’m totally stealing that next year…
No problem. It’sa great costume if I do say so myself. I love having a valid excuse to wear sweatpants in public.
Me too, that’s why I go to college!
You should cut on the bottom of a recliner and then strap yourself in around the chest with those resistance bands things!!!! I mean, it might be hard to get through doors in a chair, but so worth it.
Oh man, if you had one of those resistance band things that would be awesome.
i’m going to dress up as an asshole and tell people that i’m glenn beck.
“glenn beck this glenn beck that” – the internet
“asshole this asshole that” – how the internet actually makes money
I’m planning to wear a witch hat, carry a vibrator, and have a nametag saying “Hi my name is I’M YOU!” Many of my friends will get it. (I had delusions that I was going to craft some kind of half-glove to simulate hairy palms, and then I remembered that sounds like a lot of work.)
Kurt Cobain zombie…gunblast to the head makeup and everything
Too soo- aw, whatever…
Not too soon. Too AWESOME!
I don’t get it, did something happen to Kurt Cobain?
I was originally gonna do JFK but I didnt want to destroy a 40 dollar mask
Do you live in Pawnee? “People in this town JUST got into Nirvana. I don’t have the heart to tell them what happened to Kurt Cobain in 1994.”
Chris Farley Zombie… bloody nose and everything.
(not really – if anything I’d have to be a Jon Hamm zombie and he’s not even dead)
Errybody! ERRYBODY!
I want to be Prince, but I’m not sure of the logistics/necessary racial sensitivity.
rosanne did it…i don’t know if that makes it ok…
My band was asked to play a show as Prince last Halloween (a local venue asks a local band to play as a famous band most years), so I was Prince. I think it’s fine as long as you don’t do anything to your skin tone. I might be wrong though. I hope I am not wrong, because it was a lot of fun. Our keyboardists were Sinead O’Connor and Chaka Khan though, and they were the best.
Marzipan too.
i did this last weekend and am doing it again this weekend! yes! i love halloween so much that i celebrate for two weeks! the husband demanded that i dress up cute next year and without a dirt stache.
Heh. I got that request the year after I went as Danny DeVito. I guess a bald cap, fat padding and talking in a man voice all night didn’t really do it for him.
this is me:
You are my new favourite for that costume.
You win, amberto. Not going to try and top that.
I’m going as Godsauce.
Never forget.
Godsauce is going as you!
Worlds be colliding.
You guys are blue-ing me away, for real.
I’m afraid I just blue myself looking at these. Also, I’m going as the weird blue oompa loompa.
“Sorry about your brain” *hands making explosion gesture* -Bookface
I always have the most work-intensive ideas. Like I was going to knit myself a headdress of petals and go as a rose, but I started working on it and GUH BORING and also WAY TOO MUCH WORK to wear for one night. So instead I may go as a sexy version of the Charlie Brown ghost-with-too-many-eye-holes costume.
As a last minute idea, some other dudes and i went one year as a bouquet of flowers and it wasn’t too bad, labor-wise. Just a Wal-Mart green jumpsuit/hoodie, and used two sticks to make a cross to jam down and rest in a hole in the hoodie around the top of the spine, and then attach about five giant pedals at the top of the cross made from posterboard. Your face is the center of the flower. okay, maybe that was a lot of work. we were drinking.
But if you’re at a huge bar or party, it’s easy to find your friends, ’cause they’re all 9 feet tall…
But if you have a penis (and live in a redneck state), you’re probably gonna get in a fight…
I hear notsewfast is going as me
Birdie too
I’m knitting my costume of you.
Well, my awesome picture didn’t work…..i’ll head out now, rough day….
Not sure what I’m gonna be but I carved a Yoda pumpkin and a Kermit Pumpkin.
If I get back from the Rally To Restore Sanity in time, I’m going as Ghostface Killah. That’s a costume I’ve wanted to do for years.
You’re going?! JEALOUS!!!!!
I’m driving ten hours with two friends and a guy I don’t really enjoy but has a car that can get us there. One of my friends is from the area, so we have a free living arrangement. I’m really excited!
Report back to us come Monday morning, STAT! I want pictures.
Yes… full report, lots of pictures. GO Lysdexia GO!
It’s kind of a tragic costume because my hand/claws can’t quite reach together, so I’ll probably spend most of the night trying to find someone’s hand to hold.
Is that really you? Because this person bears a striking resemblance to Matt Saracen.
Yes, that’s me. Who’s Matt Saracen?
Why he’s only the star quarterback of an amazing high school football team!
Or I just watch too much television: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1472917/
Christine O’Donnell as a vampire from Jersey Shore.
NOW WE HAVE THAT OUT OF THE WAY.
Maybe Sad Keanu? All I need is to print out a mask sized picture of his face, throw on a blazer and some jeans and carry around something to snack on, right?
Granted, I think this will work best on someone without boobs.
A cupcake, naturally, cakeordeath.
Red velvet, to match my hair. Good idea, Dirty!
You also need a stuffed pigeon. Just carry it around, they’ll get it… but it’s necessary.
My sexy Dalek costume just arrived.
SEXTerminate!
I just discovered Black Books this week. Amazing.
yes some doctor who love!… i’m going as amy pond but I doubt anyone will actually recognize it unless I tell em
this outfit:
Doc Brown.
Or, if I can’t find a good Doc Brown-style wig, just a generic mad scientist. Either way, I have good mad scientist goggles and a white lab coat.*
*”White lab coat” stolen from the grocery store deli where my best friend works.
I am so glad that I am not the only one still carrying a torch for Homestarrunner.com.
Maybe I should look for Halloween costume pieces at Styles Upon Styles?
You should! I saw an ad somewhere that said they’re having a “Cheap as Free” sale until Decemberween.
Well even if you misremembered the ad, I’m pretty sure that all these pencil shavings I have here count as legal tender.
Not sure how I’ll get out of this room to get there, though… the elevator’s broken in this building…
Is Homestarrunner.com officially dead?
No one knows for sure. No official announcements have been made, but it’s been pretty quiet all year over there. One of the creators did just have another kid a while ago, so they may be on hiatus. My fingers remain crossed, and in the meantime there are so many years’ worth of great material on there that I don’t get bored of the site often.
Alice from Resident Evil!!!
(does anyone near Baltimore have a duster that I can borrow?)
I guess you can borrow it.
I know a guy in Philly with a sweet leather duster…
Sexy R2D2, natch.
Really? We should have our picture taken together, because I am going as a sexy Storm Trooper!
Aren’t you a little short for a sexy Storm Trooper?
Only if you consider 4’11″ short. The other response I have gotten to this costume is, “Do Storm Troopers have boobs?”
4’11″ is kind of gigantic for a dog, though!
I’m going to buck the sexy trend and be a modest nurse. Turtleneck, scrubs, chastity belt, crocs.
hi mom!
I still have no idea what I’m going as, but a good friend of mine is dressing up as Belle from Beauty and the Beast and carrying a Sebastian doll from The Little Mermaid in her apron pocket, thus dressing as Belle and Sebastian.
It was super entertaining watching her try and cut out her dress from a pattern last night. It didn’t go well.
That’s so Raven!
Your friend is my new BFF for that rockin’ costume idea.
why not go as a disgusting meat sandwich?
Gross. I’m a vegetarian.
I’m going as a Catman, Spaceman, or Demon this year.
I need a costume for a party, but have no ideas, so please feel free to share them with me.
Birdie’s twitterfeed – literally the best thing on twitter. literally.
“Obey my dog!”
Sexy Jesus.
Still Mans? After all the counseling we’ve been doing? Take my Sad Keanu idea. It’s easy.
The best I’ve seen this year was Old Greg, flashlight mangina and all.
I nominate that you go as That One. Not death. That One. Get really annoyed if anyone asks for elaboration.
By briadru4′s request:
I am going as Inception. as the movie Inception.
Inside layer: White jacket, suitable for mountain stronghold invasion
Middle layer: Shirt and vest and tie, suitable for hotel anti-gravity fight
Outside layer: Jacket, suitable for rainy van chase
Every time I hear BRRAAAAHHHMMM, then it’s time to go deeper.
Clever girl.
You need to carry around an audio device of some sort. Then at random points in the night, you play the BRRAAAAHHHMMMM sound (/ “Non, je ne regrette rien”) as loud as possible and then strip off a layer. It would be great/potentially dangerous for when you get intoxicated.
That’s actually what he’s doing when his friend plays the BRRRAAAAHHHHHMMMM sound on his phone and then when he plays “Non, je ne regrette rien” he has to put a layer back ON.
It’s pretty fuckin great.
Of course! WE HAVE TO GO DEEPER
I’m going as a bridesmaid…to an actual wedding that my stupid friend is having on Saturday. IT’S NOT EVEN A COSTUME WEDDING.
I upvoted you in solidarity for the horror you’re being put through, but eternal downvotes for them.
The worst part is knowing that my Miss Havisham costume would have been PERFECT for the occasion.
I seriously did that one year. No one got it. And a grown single woman dressing as a bride for Halloween turns out to raise some eyebrows.
I know what you mean. But then, I dress as Miss Havisham every day.
Who gets married on Halloween? Who WANTS to get married on Halloween?
Would you really like the justification? You sure? Ok. It’s the off week for the University of Alabama’s football team. I sincerely wish I were making that up.
BARF. Also, BARF.
Murder them. It’s the only way.
I went to a wedding a few years ago on New Years Eve, aka LSU’s only weekend off.
Here’s an idea, GET MARRIED IN APRIL.
ummm my friends better have their fall weddings on a texas by-week or i’m not going.
I’d rather go to a wedding than watch UT lose again.
Oh my god, I just turned into my dad.
My friend is getting married the day of the Texas-Oklahoma game next year. Luckily we’re not that close.
Oh, this is definitely a thing with fall weddings in the south — plan around the team’s schedule, or your groomsmen and guests will be distracted and standing there with earphones listening to the game during the service. We planned ours when Alabama was playing Vanderbilt (cause seriously, who cares about Vandy) but that didn’t help. Throughout the ceremony, whispercheers would spread around the room anytime something happened… it really distracted from the “I do”s.
BTW, RMFT.
Oh I know. I’ve watched many a football game at a reception. A few weeks ago, I was at a wedding with my bf and we made sure to sit next to an Alabama fan with a smart phone because the wedding was during the Alabama-Arkansas game. Mostly I’m just pissed that I’m missing Halloween.
And a RMFT to you too!
Are you still a Southern monster? We’re having a get together! Facebook event to come.
is this christina? i know someone else who has to go through this.
I’m gonna drink one of these and just see where the night takes me.
I plowed through two of those at my first Halloween party of the year. You can expect the night to take you to bad headaches, aching joints and fluorescent pee that smells like old hamburgers in the morning.
I’m not sure how that would be any different than any other night of my life, but I’m looking forward to it!
Also, I don’t know what the hell I was expecitng from a giant can of $2, 12% alcohol, but they taste surprisingly horrible. I’d recommend sticking with the fruit punch flavor.
The blue one is god awful
The night will also take you to waking up at 5AM the next morning to find that you are laying on top of your sheets in all your clothes, with a row of vomit puddles next to your bed, and your first thought will be “This must be what all those Sims I neglected felt like.”
getting ocho lokoed only brings bad things…
Oh god. I had a TERRIBLE Halloween one year that can be almost entirely attributed to malt liquor. You have fun with that.
Also the Watermelon-flavored Four Loko (the only one I’ve had) tastes like chloroseptic and has similar effects.
mans, i’ve found your halloween costume!
I’m saving my FourLoko binge for the moment the first Tea Party member wins on Tuesday night. Might as well prepare myself for the future, when this will be the official booze of Real ‘Murica and the only spirits Sharon Angle will allow us to consume.
they tested the original FOUR at my college and when it all failed, the liquor stores put them on a huge discount…needless to say my friends and i bought a lot of it. and a few people who drank more than 2 almost completely lost their minds. one punched half a dozen holes in the wall and another sat in a chair in the corner rubbing his privates all night shouting about how horny he was. that is some dangerous, dangerous drink. if anyone watches Todd Margaret, it’s like Thunder Muscle but with alcohol in it.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
i’m too scared to try it, but people at my work drink it regularly and call it QUATTRO KWAZY.
What in the world IS this stuff?
#outoftouchgum
Malt liquor energy drink (think Sparks but … worse-tasting and even higher alcohol content). The entire intent seems to be to get you SUPER SUPER DRUNK and then not allow you to just pass out like you should and instead you just black out and do a bunch of unreasonable shit.
Oh dear Jesus.
i’m not sure if this “Loko” off-shoot of it does, but the big thing about the original FOUR was that it ad wormwood extract in it [the same shit that's in absinthe that causes you to hallucinate] which creates a “soothing effect”….so its basically upper + downer + hallucinogenic sedative
I made my wife this Yoda hat so she can be Yoda.
I’ll probably pull out this old Splicer costume for greeting Trick or Treaters.
We’re nerds, obviously.
Eff, meant to post this:
Your apartment is so neat. Mine looks like the apartment of a guy who hates doing laundry and likes stacking magazines and on two occasions bought plants that have since become gigantic.
That Splicer costume is awesome! Great work.
That game scared me so much more than all of the Resident Evils put together.
I would lose it when just walking around I hear “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so…”
That is an amazing costume… those scared the bejesus out of me even when i wasn’t playing in an empty dark house
Also, here are my favorite Horror Movies:
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
John Carpenter’s The Thing
Blue Velvet
Nosferatu
Session 9
The Shining
Nightmare on Elm Street
John Carpenter’s Halloween
Susperia
Zombi 2
Dawn of the Dead
Exorcist 3
I know I’m going to get a boatload of boo, but I never got Blue Velvet. I’m more of a Mulholland Drive kinda Lynchian.
Lost Highway – full on, all the way.
Holy crap i’m glad you brought up Lost Highway. WHAT THE EFF! STUPIDEST THING EVER THAT MADE NO SENSE. Please Monsters, someone tell me what the hell is going on in that movie. I will upvote you all around if you finally tell me, after four years, what the hell is that movie about.
I cannot answer that question, but I can tell you that when I was in college there was a production mounted of, I kid you not, a modernist composer’s OPERA version of Lost Highway.
It was, as you can imagine, even worse than the movie, but almost entertaining in its absurdity.
Bill Pullman kills his girlfriend but then goes into denial while in prison and creates an entirely new identity in his head, but his conscious (Robert Blake) doesn’t let him lie to himself and keeps trying to remind him of what he did (like leaving videotapes at his house).
1. Personality dissociation that results from extreme trauma;
OR
2. Recursive cycles of violence inherent in American culture;
OR
3. Finding ultimate meanings in worlds of limitless art is impossible.
robert blake haunting your sleep for years.
Congrats hotdog, you get an upvote. Its better than my ex-roommates explanation: “It’s not about plot, its about how it makes you FEEL.”
Representing a new identity by changing lead character’s actor makes far more sense.
Mulholland Drive is my favorite Lynch film, but Blue Velvet scares me more, so that is why I included it here.
Ditto. Your list is great, but it’s missing some Antichrist, which is one of the most unsettling horror films I’ve seen.
I haven’t see that, so I guess I will have to check it out.
CHAOS REIGNS!
Yes, Mans, do it, but be prepared. Eesh. Also, Dr. GF, I was recounting the film to some friends who were morbidly curious but had no intention of seeing it and (no spoilmo) when I got to the part you quoted, and said that line, all of the dogs in the kitchen, who had been sitting so peacefully up to that moment, suddenly got into an enormous and loud fight, my friend dropped his plate, which shattered, and salsa went everywhere. It seemed appropriate.
and then genital mutilation occurred, i assume?
You know what scared me sick? The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, Her Lover. I think I literally barfed.
But my standby is always ALWAYS Hitchcock. The Birds, Psycho, Rear Window. Yum.
Oh, I forgot to put Psycho on the list! I love that movie so much.
I’m dressing as an attack victim from Hitchcock’s The Birds! Hopefully people will get it.
also my favorite Lynch. and incidentally, I’m going as pink paint-covered Adam Kesher for Halloween this year.
I always do something from Twin Peaks because that show has the most entertaining characters of anything Lynch. Last year it was the log lady. This year it will also probably be the log lady.
“Shut your eyes and you’ll burst into flames!”
I love scary movies, and I think your list is awesome. I haven’t seen a couple of them, but I’ll assume they’re great based on the rest of the list.
On a related note, tonight I’m going to watch Scream on a giant screen in a park with lots of people. Should be fun. I’m hoping for lots of yelling.
Yes – love for Exorcist 3. Better than the first.
Yeah, Exorcist 3 is VERY underrated. The part in the hospital is one of the scariest scenes of any movie I’ve seen.
If old ladies shouldn’t be driving, they definitely shouldn’t be crawling on the ceiling.
Aren’t there two cuts of Exorcist 3? Which one should I watch?
I don’t know. I just watched what was at the video store. Are you thinking of the two Exorcist prequels?
Aha. Yes, that is indeed what I am thinking of. I heard one of the prequels was good and one was awful.
The sad new is they are both awful.
GAHHHH!!! I wasn’t prepared! Please tell me no one has made a Sleepaway Camp .gif…
Anyone seen Inside, the crazy, French, pregnant lady film?
Inside!
Yes, it’s terrifying.
That movie traumatized me. The scissor scene kept randomly poping into my mind for weeks.
Del Toro’s “The Orphanage” is James Franco eating haunted pie.
That movie scared me good!
Good pick, Huck!
I liked The Orphanage, if only for being allowed to say “El Orfanato” in a creepy voice throughout it.
Ummm… The 2007 film, The Orphanage was merely produced by Guillermo del Toro. The director was in fact Juan Antonio Bayona. Unless of course, you’re confusing it with del Toro’s own orphanage-set ghost tale, 2001′s The Devil’s Backbone.
Also a good one. No crazy Spanish name though (not one I can remember though). Orphanage was better, though.
Yeah, I know. I always call it “Del Toro’s” because, otherwise, people think I’m referring to the “Something’s Wrong With Esther” movie.
Which is not my favorite horror movie.
“El Espinazo Del Diablo” is pretty crazy, especially if you say it in a thick Spanish accent. ESHPINATHO.
LOVE Espinaza del diablo. But mostly because I love Eduardo Noriega. Mmmm…evillll…
Also, “(Rec),” anybody? It was turned into “Quarantine” here in the states, but the original had me, a grown man, shrieking like a tiny little baby.
You and me are on the same horror wavelength, Huck.
I am not sure if it counts, but the animated Watership Down still scares the shit out of me, to this day.
I’m actually going as sexy general woundwort!
I would make a joke about “sexy general woundwort” being redundant, but fear that may cross several lines, and sully my good reputation.
When I was young child, I watched Disney’s “Darby O’Gill and the Little People.” It was a live action movie from the 60s I think with a young, pre-James Bond, Sean Connerey in it. The movie is not scary, but there is a scene with a banshee, in low budget 60s style, that gave me extreme nightmares.
My mother also rented for us a movie called “The House of Long Shadows” that really scared the poppyseeds off my bagel.
Oh man, Darby O’Gill brings back memories. I definitely recall the banshee too. But I mostly love that movie, and honestly did not know Sean Connery was in it.
Holy shit, I thought I was alone all these years in being terrified of that movie. I grew up in Ireland so the whole banshee thing is as scary as it gets. I damn near soiled my undergarments. The second scariest thing is Sean Connery’s Oirish accent
Have you guys been enjoying AMC’s two weeks of non-stop scary movies? I know I have. So far, I’ve seen Pet Semetary three times, Halloween I-V, The House on Haunted Hill (1999) twice, The Amityville Horror, and a Friday the 13th from somewhere in the middle of the series. It’s been a good two weeks of unemployment.
YES!! So good, I love halloween for the number of terribly great horror movies that are playing on Sci-fi and AMC and also an hd channel I have has been playing Poltergeist incessantly and yes I’ve seen it every time its on.
Props for Session 9. So underrated.
Also I like:
Rosemary’s Baby (in my top 10 of all time)
Exorcist
Evil Dead 1 & 2
Descent
Ichi the Killer
And for pure weirdness there was one whose title escapes me but it was set around the Berlin Wall in the 80s and there was a monster with tentacles and it was also about a divorce.
been wanting to see session 9. will do on your recommendation.
Dr G, it was filmed in an actual abandoned psychiatric hospital from the 1890s. There is no way that thing is not haunted in real life.
(If you are tempted to watch the deleted scenes afterward, don’t. They retroactively ruin the movie.)
Aha — the Berlin one was Possession (1981) with Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani. I just found it on imdb.
blue velvet’s not a horror movie, brainiac
I’m also going to throw in 28 Days Later. I can’t remember a movie that upset me as much as that movie did. I don’t like killing your friends and family movies.
That movie scared me so much it literally made me cry. Not sure why but yikes.
You don’t like Carrie, Mans? I saw it again recently, and the religiosity of Carrie’s Mom is terrifying. When she drags Carrie, kicking and screaming, into the tiny closet to pray for hours in the dark, that’s some frightening stuff right there, for reals.
And that scene when she’s walking down the side walk with her cape billowing behind her? Or when she’s hiding behind the door to Carrie’s room? Scary. I’m with you on that one.
CARRIE is so good. What about CHRISTINE?
I do like Carrie. That is a very good movie.
Has anyone seen “The Entity”?
I’m not sure if it’s a horror, but Salò (or 120 Days of Sodom) terrified me more than any other movie ever has.
AAAH! i couldn’t get through it. and i found antichrist to be rather amusing.
I recently got a chance to see that on the big screen and it was introduced by John Waters, who gave a talk afterward. The movie was tough to sit through, but also kind of funny. And John Waters was amazazing. He suggested that the theatre show it every year and we all start coming to see it in costume, dressed as the characters.
Yes yes yes Mans! This is almost exactly my list! Also on the list for me:
Cemetery Man
Don’t Look Now
Psycho 2 (seriously, that movie rules! Though it’s not really scary)
Planet Terror
Dead Alive
Alien
I really like zombies!
Dead Alive is a masterpiece. My girlfriend doesn’t understand why I like it so much. The gore doesn’t gross me out so much as it makes me laugh.
the people under the stairs
i didn’t realize it was the couple from twin peaks until i rewatched it last year. mind blown.
oh, and alienS. but that’s my favorite movie of all time.
I recently saw The Thing for the first time for a thing. I really enjoyed it.
High Tension = awesomely scary French horror.
Halloween’s hottest party is at Club Taste, which will finally answer the question “POR QUE?”. It’s got everything: rap battle piss contests, midgets swimming in orange jello, and fleshlight tag.
mommmmmmmy
I think Teacherman and I are going as Beetlejuice and Lydia. But we had a running joke for a while about dressing up as our favorite Monsters’ avatars, and then acting all offended when people didn’t recognize it. “I’m Notsewfast, duh, and he’s obviously Mans. You are so dumb. You are really dumb.”
Sorry, I meant “I’m *sexy* Notsewfast”. Because I’m a girl.
Hell, yes I watched! I thought Lydia was so cool. I was really digging the goth makeup as a kid
Sorry that was a reply to the wrong thread
I wish I could trick or treat with you guys.
Did anyone ever watch the Beetlejuice cartoon? The best, right?!
Any cartoon with a French skeleton is automatically the best
I watched it every afternoon at my latchkey program. It was amazing! Seriously, why don’t they re-run incredible shows like that anymore?
Our original idea was to put on flowered sheets and go as the Maitlands, (I would wear my wedding dress under, and he would wear a gray suit), but then we would need a Beetlejuice. So we switched it up.
They better not BLAM! that show. I will cut you, Disney, I WILL CUT YOU!
It was one of my favorites. As a kid I actually thought the movie was based off the cartoon. I couldn’t figure out why Lidia and Beatlejuice weren’t friends…
I watched this without ever seeing the movie. I wanted my name to be Lydia soooo bad!
Man, you are really bringing back the Homestar.
You are making my day with all of the HSR pictures.
The whole family is going out this year.
Walking Dead premiere Halloween night. That’s all I’m saying
Can we all agree that this is going to be the best show ever? And, here’s a preemptive ‘shut up, Steve Winwood’, since it’s based on a comic book.
I’ve told a bunch of people that I am going to their parties as Wallace from The Wire. I have also been promising pumpkin treats to make sure that people expect/ want me at the party. I do not intend to show up to the parties leaving the hosts asking, “Where the fuck is Wallace?”
Speaking of Halloween costumes “Bookface”…
Ooo, I could go as Stefon. I’m going to pretend I can make my hair look like that.
I would also have to purchase an Ed Hardy shit. And I’m not prepared to throw money at him.
Nah, just paint a dragon on a shirt you bought at Target.
An ‘Ed Hardy shit’? Can’t you go to WallMart and get a knockoff? I guess that’s evil too.
Or you could go as a germf
Sexy Unicorn.
I actually went as a sexy unicorn one year. I had about three hours to pull a costume together and all I could find was a unicorn hat and old zebra-print bedsheets. I turned them into a one-piece body suit and called myself a Bowie-corn.
I did once too in college and won a costume contest. I had some tight white sweatpants on that were like..bootcut. (How do these exist? I have no idea.) a white turtle neck, some giant black boots I had leftover from the 90′s, a banana clip in my hair, white face paint with pink cheeks, black gloves over my hands, and a horn glued to my head that I pulled off a toy unicorn. I have a picture around here soooomehwere…
Oh, I forgot about the furry pink legwarmers.
I can’t find a picture of it where I don’t look like a complete tool, but..
I’ve only ever gone as Drunk Unicorn, but I did it well.
I was going to be a Sexxy Angel. But then I saw like tons of girls doing that. So I was shopping for a Sexxy Devil and I counted at least 23 girls ahead of me in line with the same costume. So then I found this awesome Sexxy Policegirl costume and…
Actually, I’m re-playing my Satanist/Evil Unicorn costume. I glued sparkly sequined pentagrams all over a black velvet Danskin leotard worn over black spider webby tights; a black horsey tail, and I made my face up like black and silver Ziggy Stardust, hair pulled up in a ponytail-hawk mane, and I made a black satin horn. I guess I just got sick of all those nice unicorns. I’ll post a pic on the magick day.
My friends and I are going as zombie versions of various Simpsons characters. (and YES we do have a zombie Flanders)
There are #literally too many ideas on this page of ideas: http://www.costumecraze.com/American-Culture-and-History-8-s-9-s-and-Today-Modern-Costumes-p6.html
For those of you in the NY tri-state area.. BED BUG COSTUME! Do it, and send me pics.
Not funny.
Too soon?
too REAL
I’m going as the iPhone app: just a map of Manhattan with a bunch of red pins stuck in it.
Right now I’m working on my costume as Artie! The Strongest Man… in the World! (Pete & Pete), but in case I don’t finish it in time I always have a Robert Goulet costume ready for backup.
THIS IS TOO EASY.
I have all the supplies! It’s just that the shirt needs to be retouched with some blue magic markers. I’m torn whether or not I should waste money and get my hair cut a little bit, or just comb it in a way Artie would approve.
Don’t skimp! Your hair has been looking a bit shaggy lately anyway.
you sir, are the clear winner of this thread
Assuming I can find an appropriately cheap black wig, I’m going to a halloween party as Tommy Wiseau (wig, slight small black suit jacket, slacks, shirt, tie, football for catch).
Anyone going to the House on Haunted Hill rifftrax tonight?
My boyfriend, a friend, and I were talking about dressing up as Johnny, Lisa, and Mark. But then my boyfriend and I broke up.
Miss lonelyhearts, I feel your pain! Originally, my girlfriend and I were going to be Joan and Sterling from Mad Men. Except whoops I caught her cheating on me and we broke up! Just like Mad Men!
Post-script: Found a “vampiress” wig from Wal Mart, it’s PERFECT.
Tommy Wiseau has the hair of a greasy, trannsylvanian dracu-ho, is what I’m saying.
I’m sorry about your breakup, Max Robinson! I hope you feel better soon. For what it’s worth, I’ve always said that Tommy Wiseau is one part vampire, one part cyborg, one part extraterrestrial, and no parts human. So a greasy, trannsylvanian vampiress wig IS perfect, is what I’m saying.
Going as Glenn Quagmire – heh heh heh all right!

All I lack is the glasses (which I hope to get today!)
I’m still waiting for the biopic starring Aaron Paul, when is Weird coming out anyways?
I’m going as a “self-potato.”
That still makes me laugh so much.
Any other fans of the 1981 “Possession” out there?
Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes! And then I’ll harass trick-or-treaters with stories of how much better comics were in my day.
Yes they most certainly were better back in the day!
I’m going as Gerald Ford in a top hat. I can’t wait to break out my avatar costume.
I’m going as this guy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkE2BTjYFGQ
And my girlfriend is gonna dress up as Jay Mohr (?!?) and carry me around.
Seriously though, my boyfriend and I are going to go as either “The Way You Make Me Feel” Era MJ and Sexy Dress Big Hair 80′s Girl
OR just 2 different era MJs. He’ll probably do the white shirt / short black pants / loafers thing.
I’m partial to making my own sequin-y suit from the “Rock With You” video
Yes! This one! Do “Rock With You” MJ and “Beat It” MJ…
My friend is going as Robin Sparkles. I wish I had thought of it first.
Instead I’m just stuck going as Supergirl like every other chick who didn’t plan ahead and had to buy something overpriced at Ricky’s.
We devised an amazing drink last year named after Robin Sparkles: Champagne and Canadian Club whiskey.
Drink at your own peril.
Awesome! I am going to tell her she needs to order that at all the bars!
I got a huge piñata in the shape of a pumpkin which i plan to saw in half and costume my man with. He will then fill his pockets with halloween candy and toss them in the air everytime time I bash him with my fake plastic baseball bat. I still do not have a good costume idea for myself though, unfortunately.
you could be yourself on your 6th birthday.
Here is my pumpkin piñata
My favorite horror movie is the first Halloween. I’ve never really found it that scary but it’s a classic, as integral to this time of year as jack-o-lanterns and changing leaves.
I love how Michael Meyers is lurking in distance of so many shots in the film.
I love Jamie Lee’s hair in that movie.
turned the dining room into a ouija board
i think it looks more like a daycare center but my roommate is legit nervous around it (remnants of a southern baptist upbringing)
That is incredible!
True story: My mom was at a party when she was like 20 where someone got out a Ouija board, and apparently a spirit showed up and was moving the thing around. But most of the people were like “This is BS, who’s moving it?” and so the spirit spelled out GO TO THE NEXT ROOM WAIT I WILL SEND A SIGN.
So they left the board and went to the next room, about 8-10 people, and stood there, kind of uneasy, silent. It was raining slightly, a drizzle. The window was open. No one talked for 5-7 minutes. Finally, someone said, “See? BS.” And at that exact instant, there was an explosion of lightning and a huge boom of thunder right outside the window.
It was the only flash of lightning & thunder that whole night.
Ouija boards can be some scary, deep shit… I was doing one with some girlfriends at a party one time and all the boys were in the living room. It spelled out, EVERYTIME I touched it “Dormroom” and then finally it said “Ask Ray”… well, Ray was in the next room and I said, “Hey, uh… what does Dormroom mean?” He looked like I had just told him I found his secret diary. Apparently Dormroom was a nickname he and his friends had been calling me, because I was younger than them?
It was dumb, but insane. Ouija boards mean business.
I lived with a practicing/amateur witch for a while and she said Never mess with Ouija boards because they summon spirits indiscriminately — you might not get a pleasant one, and the board does not provide a means of dismissing it afterward, so it might follow you around for years.
spooky!!
one time i shook a magic 8 ball, and i asked it if jason c. from my class liked me and it said” sources say no!” and later it turned out he didn’t like me!!!! eerie!!!
im sure if a spirit shows up in my apartment it will just be ghost writer.
I am going to dress like Jon from Delocated so … see you in jail/CIA black site.
3 or 4 years back my wife and I went as Margot and Richie Tenenbaum.
Best. Couples. Costume. Evar.
First, I’ve seen someone else do that one, and it is badass.
Second, your avatar is the mashup of the original RIP Lapidus tribute I made… and not only am I honored, but I give you this:
FYI, funny story about your original RIP Lapidus…
I was heartbroken when he “died”. My wife found your pic and made it my desktop on my PC without my knowing. The next morning I booted up and was so stoked that it is still my wallpaper TO THIS VERY DAY.
I feel like we should hug it out… and bring back a classic Lapidus GIF.
Oh, agree. I did this one 2 years ago and loved it.
My boyfriend and I enjoy getting creepy-weird with our costumes… last year we were Alice and the white rabbit (he purchased a terrifying easter bunny costume) and this year we’ll be a sideshow act. I’m the ringmaster, complete with a handlebar mustache, and he’s the bearded lady.
OK you are forcing me to post a pic…I’ll get the wife to dig it out for me. I had a camelhair suit, and we even made her a fake wooden finger.
Let’s see if this shit works….
Last year I had the Kool-aid man bursting out of my chest. I ended up getting in my first fistfight since middle school (long story) while wearing it. Afterwards the cops wanted to take pictures of the costume. I swear it wasn’t a mug shot.
Just finished this year’s costume yesterday:
I can’t wait for the movie version of this.
Or maybe I’ll go as Cleveland:
My friends and I thought of an ingenious costume while sitting around hungover last weekend.
Dress as Reggie Jackson (the baseball player) in full jersey, pants, glasses, and hat with afro protruding.
Now for the kicker – Buy a ridiculously oversized pair of underwear, and pull the underwear will past the waistband of the pants.
WEDGIE JACKSON. Thank you.
I’m going to tie a bandana around my jeans and be Punky Brewster. First person to ask “Who’s Punky Brewster?” is getting punched in the throat.
BUT are you going to be SteamPunky Brewster?
Thought up by a friend this afternoon, and I’m still in awe of its brilliance.
I’m not that clever.
last year i was dr. mrs. the monarch. this year i am a care bear, specifically love-a-lot bear. i was tired of being cold in slutty costumes. any austin monsters, come to my annual halloween party on friday! kegs, a dj, a photo booth, a dance party in a barn!
OK Monsters. I suddenly find myself torn between two awesome costume choices. For the season, I decided to shave the beard I’ve been rocking for the past two months down to a mustache, which I’ve been wearing with great joy all week. Now, I can choose between one of two ‘stache based costumes:
(1) Bill Murray in the pool scene in Rushmore, my original plan. Obtained the Budweiser swim trunks last week via eBay, would probably wear a bathrobe with it to keep warm/get into bars without a shirt, good excuse to have a drink and a smoke in my hand at all times.
OR
(2) Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation. Get to be more clothed, optional Duke Silver variation after sundown, still get to drink heavily, only this time sub the cigs out for a breakfast plate.
I feel like both are easily obscure and hipsterish (though if you’re going to go as a Wes Anderson character, Herman Blume at the pool is the way to go, right?), and are likely to be misunderstood by the drunken Chapel Hill masses on Franklin Street (likely for The Dude with improper facial hair and Ron Burgundy, respectively). So I’ll put it to a vote- my fate is in your hands!
(My fate is totally not in your hands)
Go as Dov Charney. ULTIMATE hipsterdom!
I would go for Bill Murray. You have to keep in mind the value of being able to tell someone what you were for Halloweens past. I think Herman Blume has more staying power.
Need I say more?
I upvoted you for being from Chapel Hill. My vote goes to Bill Murray, just make sure to look very depressed.
bill murray all the way
just to warn you, I love and own Rushmore, have seen it many times, and I really like Parks and Recreation, but there’s no way I would ever recognize either of those costumes.
have fun though, maybe I’ll see you on Franklin St
I’ll either be in the Lindsay/Tobias costume or the slutty Mother Teresa costume.
You could be Duke Silver
I mean you should be Duke Silver. My grammar all bad. At least if you get sick of people asking who you are you can just say you’re a jazz musician.
both are so good! i live in chapel hill! now i feel bad for having a party to go to that is not at franklin street!
I wanted a costume that i knew people would like, so i tried to think of the most popular costumes. I mean they’re popular for a reason right? So then i thought why not COMBINE them so i can be SUPER POPULAR?
Anyway that’s how i ended up being a Pirate-Ninja Robot, from the year 2120.
Sue Sylvester. Red tracksuit, megaphone for yelling
I’m going to be a Never Nude. I got 99 cent jean shorts and a $2 bath robe at the Good Will. I also found a bookon how to stay fit like Cher.
Girlfriend and I are dressing as Calvin and Hobbes!
I’m going to be a copy-cat: cat ears and a shirt that says “xerox.”
i’ll be running with the shadows of the night.
i am going to be travis barker, complete with real mohawk and fake tattoos
and my band (which is a 90s cover band called The Bayside Tigers) is playing a show at king’s head tavern near union sq on saturday night- it’s free and halloweeny and there will be fun 90s tunes and live band karaoke and dancing- if you want come party!
sorry for the plug! ha
Chilean Miner!
Hey! Maybe you guys will know the title. When I was a kid one day on TV I saw a movie (or had a dream) which took place partly in a giant, dusty, abandoned mansion. And across the background again and again there went rolling an old, old man, possibly dead, maybe not, on a gurney. A door would open and he’d come rolling out, cross the corridor, vanish through another door. He was coming closer and closer. You did not want to see him get closer. I don’t remember anyone pushing the gurney. It rolled of its own accord.
Any idea what the heck this is from? That’s all I remember. It is either from a movie, pre-1980 I’d guess, or I dreamed it and it has stuck with me and still creeps me out.
I don’t know what that is, but it sounds pretty good.
There was a trailer for a movie when I was very young that scared me. It was shot of stairs, from the top. A woman comes up them and then at the top, hands come through the walls and pull her through.
I think that is Silent Scream. That one got me too. I can’t find the ad that is exactly the one I remember but this is so close I think it must be it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCQDMXxz_b4&NR=1
Okay, yep, yep, yep: that’s it. The trailer that has haunted me for 30 years.
I am going to be a tree. A pear, a bird, and a birdhouse adorn my branches. Hidden in my bark, speakers playing bird calls.
I’m going as Joaquin Phoenix, also, my bathroom mirror is covered in water spots.
So, there are Halloween costumes… and then there are destinies.
Andy Heitz, you have found your destiny.
Excellent! That was my plan too. I’ve been growing my beard and hair out for months.
Where does one buy a suit these days?
You should mess up you hair a bit more….
yeah, the hair will definitely be more Jaoquin phoenix-y starting this weekend, and I managed to snag the best fitting suit of my life from a Goodwill for 10 dollars. It was indeed destiny.
I am also going as Joaquin, but I couldnt find a suit to fit well so I’m just doing the shirt and tie with no jacket. Needless to say sir, you have me beat. Well Done.
So, update, for anybody that reads updates. i won 2nd place at work which means I got my own PS3 and about 30 games. Kind of ridiculous. Hace a good Halloween, Monsters!
still looking for a good Casey Affleck, however.
Just carry a box of this around:
my costumes are usually unoriginal, unironic and plain, something dumb like being a ‘roman goddess’, haha, so dumb, so PLAINN.
so yeah. thats my costume this year.
I was a Greek goddess for Halloween when I was 13, but my friend and I were such big nerds that we actually picked out our favorite goddesses to be, and incorporated special details into each costume. Neither of us were allowed to be Athena, though, since she was BOTH of our favorites, and we wanted to avoid the drama over fighting over getting to be her.
both of you sound like you guys had the best teen years. I am going to be Aphrodite, how can i make this look SPECIFIC?
last year I couldn’t think of a good enough costume in time so I didn’t dress up at all and just told everyone I was a muggle from Harry Potter. This year I either have to come up with a better story to hide the fact that I’m an awful procrastinator/terribly uncreative when it comes to Halloween, or miraculously think of something brilliant in the next 3 days. open to suggestions for either!
For some reason I can only ever make very literal costumes work, like I went as Diet Mountain Dew one year. This year I’m going to be an eggplant. I don’t know. I’m not very good at this.
ME TOO! Last year I was lettuce. This year I’m a lipstick. Literal Costumes Club!
A friend of mine who is coming to our party is going to be a taco. She was inordinately proud of it and we couldn’t figure out why, until I remembered we told her we’d be showing “The Hunger”.
I’m surprised there aren’t more people dressing as Juggalos this year. They’ve been relatively prominent in the media lately- or at least they’ve been made fun of by well known shows.
You’d just need black and white face paint, baggy clothes, clown tattoos and a Vanilla Ice tour shirt.
I’m actually going as Justin Bieber. And I’m a 25 year old woman. I’m going all out- even trying to flatten my chest (not easy in DD town). I’ve got the short hair that I can style into the JB swoop look. Purple hoodie, dog tags, baggy jeans and puffy hightops.
If I put it all together and I don’t look like him, I’ll be going as a lesbianwholookslikejustinbieber.
Thankfully, I am running a marathon on Sunday, so I have an excuse to avoid wasting money and time on silly costume. I’m the Scrooge of Halloween.
Last week I was Gertrude Yorkes aka Arsenic from the comic book series Runaways. And this weekend I’ll be Flo from the Progressive commercials–I know there’s a lot of hate for Flo but I think she walks the fine line of frightening/annoying/charming. Also, I’m a happy drunk, soooooo….
I am going to be 70s era Bruce Springsteen. ‘MERICA. BAAAACKSTREEETS. Etc.
My ex did this last year. we taped an american flag to two cardboard tubes and mounted it on his back.
oh my god if I saw anyone dressed up as 70s era Bruce, I’d be having sex with that person, is what I’d be doing.
i always wanted to do 70s era bruce, specifically born to run album cover bruce….maybe next year
i’m going as snooki. i know, i know, everyone’s doing it. but i’m 4’11” and busty so the question isn’t how could i go as snooki, it’s how could i NOT go as snooki?
I’m a twenty-something female from Texas so obvs I’m dressing up as SEXY JESUS. OMMe, I’m a little disappointed that my BEST idea is getting lost in the clusterfucksea of less awesome ideas.
Guys, I am legitimately disappointed that none of you are going as Antoine Dodson or a Vuvuzela.
We’re having a costume contest at work and my entire department will be wearing pajamas and antennae made out of pipecleaners. We’re going as bedbugs.
I’ve always been really proud of this. Unfortunately all the costume materials were lost when my basement flooded and I’m too broke to replace it this year.
You are an inspiration to me. I don’t usually go all out for Halloween, but if I am ever roped into it in the future, I am totally stealing this idea .
My costume for the weekend…
tryin to make it a couple’s costume but my boyfriend isn’t too into it
after i bought all the materials for my carebear costume, i was like GODDammit. i should have been yolandi ki$$er (obviously the iteration with the dollar sign panties).
I was also Yo-Landi for Halloween this past Saturday. Here’s a few pics:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/13955466@N03/sets/72157625157799907/
(Didn’t dare bleach my ‘brows like she does! She’s fully ZEF!)
Too bad your man wasn’t down to be your NINJA and give you protection because you’re his butterfly!
Hope to see some pics of your costume, too!
Peace.
My favorite part of Halloween is remembering that this exists.
I’m going as Liz Lemon for Halloween.
By which I mean I am going to stay at home and eat.
I’m going as Storm, who I adored growing up, but I just really wanted an excuse to buy a white wig. I made myself the cape, some accessories and a cardboard thunder.
(I guess I shouldn’t tell you, but I’m wearing everything right now)
Can someone please adopt me? Barely anyone in Australia celebrates halloween
We’re having a Halloween party! (probably because I’m American and my housemates figured it’s easier to indulge me than to listen to me whine about it anymore) You’re totally invited.
/Users/watchmen623/Desktop/69030_1704229130109_1369436072_31767684_3649117_n.jpg
The Torrence Family
Each year I try to dress up nerdier than the previous year. Last year I went as an actual nerd so I wasn’t sure how to top it…until I decided I was going as a robot.
Next year: Nerdbot?
I was going to go as Beiber (cause then I get all the ladies (the gay ladies)) but then stupid Ryan from the Office was Bieber! Boo!
So now I’m either going to go as
Ron Weasley
Velma
Jim (from the office)
Or Marty McFly.
…it’s hard to think of costumes that incorporate both my red hair and my glasses.
I am going as Sexy Teddy Roosevelt.
I KNOW, IT’S REDUNANT.
Also, this exists:
Sexy. Ninja. Turtle.
I’m dressing up as Rosie the Riveter and had some difficulty getting all the piece for my costume. I blame Antione Dodson for the red bandana shortages.
Dr. Blake Downs!
Paul the Psychic Octopus (RIP)
(and I totally did a ctrl+f to see if anyone else in these comments had already had that idea but I’m clear and SO EXCITED. because everyone in the comments is going to be at every party I go to this weekend, obviously.)
My housemate and I are going as Col. Tigh and Starbuck (I’m Starbuck). In addition to being comfortable costumes, this way we also have an excuse to drink heavily, mouth off and occasionally punch people.
