Mickey Rourke Wins The Halloween Costume Contest Of My Nightmares

thumbnail icon: Mickey Rourke Wins The Halloween Costume Contest Of My Nightmares

This is a picture of Mickey Rourke from last night, dressed up for a Halloween party at some club. Pretty cool costume! I think it's really neat that while everyone else is going as Sexy Candy Bar or Sexy Wallet, he's going as The Horrible Result of A Lifetime of Poor Decisions.

Seriously? You guys? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? Don't get me wrong, it is definitely TERRIFYING, but also HUH? And I know that it is wrestling a little below the belt to say this, but prior to this picture I did not think that there was a way to make Mickey Rourke's face look any more unsettling or disastrous. But Mickey Rourke, who is a Certified Professional Mickey Rourke's Face Fuck Up Artist, proved me wrong. He definitely looks even more unsettling and even more disastrous.

"I'm just a broken down piece of meat covered in grease paint for some reason."
--Mickey Rourke, 1952-2012

Oh wait, I think I get it. He's going as Edward Normal Hands. YIKES. (More photos here.)

I like Dwight Yokum's new mustache.

Is that Mickey in the grey suit, just out of frame, holding Nick Cave's hand?

I actually think he looks good in corpse paint.

His costume is the lovechild of Death and Mickey Rourke...
" So, guys, what if i knocked up Death? What would that kid look like?"
"Mickey, that's weird... That's a weird thing to think about."
"No, no, it'll be awesome!"

Maybe he just fell into his pile of cocaine and this is no costume at all.

Mickey Rourke has poured the same kind of effort into his Eurasian Traveler Kit costume as he did into his 90s plastic surgery: the wrong kind.

I like that the look is just together enough to be obvious he didn't do it himself, but still a fucking disaster. That's hard to pull off.
I saw the dude who played Joey's nephew on Joey once - he had a similar mustache.

Are we sure that is a costume? I suspect that is actually Mickey Rourke just being Mickey Rourke. You know, just Mickey Rourke, hanging around a party, being terrifying.

I can't tell if your comment is serious, but if he's clearly the crow, he's only got 1/3 of the Crow's makeup right. (Vertical marks over the eye and a glasgow smile). The Crow in its many incarnations has never sported a spade on its cheek either.
Hey man, nice shot.

Is the guy holding his hand part of the costume? Or part of the "please leave the premises immediately" contingency?

Ha ha - that's what I was wondering! Is he blind? Is he semi-unconscious? Mostly unconscious? What is happening here? Is this a non-celebrity dressed as Mickey Rourke being escorted out of Mickey Rourke's Halloween party???

Ah, so he went as a washed-up mime. He's depressed because his comedy's stale with the kids - They're all about puppets these days.

I nearly responded to yr post with a question... but fond myself answering that question immediately.

The conversation was as follows...
My foolish impulse: "How hard can it be to just do coke? How does a coke party fail?"
The voice of reason: "Mickey Rourke shows up..."
