lol... 2 years old thread =P  thats how.  3 pages in 2 years.   Wow wiggy, wow

edit MY GAWD!! 4 PAGES.  That's like, 2 pages a year!  ...... 

[wiggy]

No, I figured it out (my new thread just got merged with the old one), I saw that it had become 3 pages almost instantly when I went to check on it and was like WTF?!

[shenske]

It's a... it's a.. it's a.... ROCKET SHIP!!!!!

Don't comment on this "not being a rocket ship", it's a quote from the movie =P.  The cookie is brought out as a way to publicly humilitize edward norton on his TV show, but he comes back stating it's a rocket ship.  Shut up, at least I know someone else who didn't think this movie was stupid!  And wicked awesome costume =P

Its in my top ten of favorite movies ever!

Yeah i merged it, i thought it was fitting

[wiggy]

Makes perfect sense

I woulda searched if I thought there was something like this already

[zakurowrath]

Almost that time again yay, I'm hoping to have a better time than last year, UGH 2011. I actually went to an awesome party last year but the night itself was...yea UGH  

I actually love Halloween, it's always been one of my favorite holidays, not for candy...ok my sweet tooth says otherwise, but it's always fun to come up with a new costume idea and hang out with friends. Also it's the perfect time of year for bets...yea I've lost every year, thank you weather for not being on my side and making me wear a cheerleader outfit...it was still fun thou, can't believe how skinny I am to fit into that damn thing....

Let's see what else, of course movies, like Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride , Sweeney Todd, The People Under The Stairs, and the Gaki no Tsukai Haunted Hotel episode is always fun to watch. Games, Mario Part 2 and Horror Land come to mind, 50 turn mayhem!

Speaking of Jack Skellington, Marilyn Manson version of This Is Halloween, freaked a few of the rednecks down here in Texas with that song....and my high school English teacher a few years ago...she swore I was evil, it's like really, I dress up as Ozzy Osbourne and yea, she was nuts.

Finally, it has sentential value to me, my dear lover, my best friend, his birthday was Halloween and he would have been 20 this year so keeping the memory alive as long as I live is something I cherish.

I'm working on making a cheep Link costume, I may have 2 parties to go to if all plans work out.
As for the costume, I'm modeling it after Ocarina of Time. I'm buying a Link hat off Amazon for $10, and getting some green fabric from Wal Mart for cheep. I'm going to wear a green shirt, an inside-out 1 up shirt to be exact, and I'm going to make the rest of the tunic out of the fabric, by making a skirt that gets held up by a belt, so It looks like a tunic, unless i find 2 cheep green T-shirts to wear and sew together. For the tights and white under shirt, White Long Johns, I may where white pants if I find any, I think I have a pair around here somewhere. I have some belts to use to in the costume. For boots, I have hiking boots to wear. No gloves.

As for the sward and shield I plan on taking These things:
(just the sward, not the shield)




And make this, plus a sward holder:


I'll post pics when I'm done.
I hope I find the white pants, so I can where this at school and quickly change into normal clothing if I need too, My school does not allow costumes, but that wont stop me.

I did Link last year, but I don't have any good pics of the finished product...

I made the hat from a cut-up green t-shirt. Wore a green tunic from a medieval fair. Made a shield from a cardboard box (based on the NES version, with a big yellow cross). Borrowed a friend's wooden Master Sword. Put on my Spock Ears...

The hair was the key point, though. When my hair has any length to it (which it did last year), it becomes a big poofy afro. Brush it in the right directions, tuck the rest under a hat, and BANG Old School Link hair.

Here's a couple pics I took with my 3DS when I was first testing the hair, before I had gone as far as making the hat and borrowing the sword and such, just to test the idea:

I love that the pics were taken on a 3DS!

So, my haunted house, err garage, is about 95% done. I'll do a walk through video when it's complete (which freakin' better be tomorrow afternoon).   I'm pretty amped about it this year. Definitely the most complex I've done thus far, plus my last batch of homebrew beer is by far my best ever!

Thank gawd, 'cause the last three batches have all had some random ass issue that freakin' sucked

Last year there was a snow storm and the power was out and the house was lit with candles.

Soooo Larry  you wouldn't happen to live in CT would you?  We had a massive storm that cancelled Halloween for us in 2011 also..........

Little preview

[games-go-round]

EEEEEK!  I have to follow-up Wiggy's pics with some of my own???  Oooooh, boy...

^_^

Last year, the GF and I made our own costumes.  She went as Sailor Jupiter, while I went as MK1 Sub-Zero.  Both were fun, yet stressful, to put together, but we were happy with what we made, and kept them around for this year.  I have **no idea** what we're getting up to this year, but hopefully something will come togeher.  Enjoy!





...and yes, I realise I'm the least-buff Sub-Zero ever.  I was even told that last year while I was walking around - some passerby mumbled, "Man, Subs has lost a little weight!" as he walked past me.  I turned to face him, stared him town, and told him," Yeah, I've been layin' off the 'roids.  They got a "wellness policy" now, ya know?"  We both got a good laugh out of it!

Strong work on those costumes!  They look solid!

Aaaaaay, that means a lot coming from you, Wiggy!  Thanks!  Honestly, I've liked damn near all of the costumes / decorations that have been posted here, and I hope that it keeps going.  I know a lot of us have videogame-themed get-ups that we wear on Halloween, or to conventions, etc, and it's rad to see them all.  It kinda gives you a little insight into the forum members here - you know, a bit of a "here's what I look like in real life!" vibe.  I dig it!

KEEP THOSE PICS COMING, PEOPLE - I don't care how old this thread is!
