Favorite Halloween Costume/Memory

Boo everybody! Tis the season to be spooky. How about sharing your favorite/best Halloween Costume or Halloween moments.


The best costume I ever did was probably a Harry Potter costume as a kid. I had the officially licensed Hogwarts Halloween costume cloak and wore worn out cheap jeans with a "ugly" thrift store shirt for the poor muggle look. I also had fake glasses with tape wrapped around the middle to get that broken look and carried around a wand. I already had the black hair and everything and for the scar put on a harry potter removable tattoo.


As for a favorite moment it was probably when I gave up trick or treating and hung out at a friends house. We put on WWE smackdown and played yu-gi-oh all night while betting candy on the games. I won a lot of candy.

When I think of childhood Halloween costumes, these are what I remember. The smell of those plastic masks was horrid, but you didn't dare take it off, because it completed the look. I think my sister actually had that exact Snoopy mask.

One year, when I was still a teenager, my friends and I did a "tour" of all the city's supposed haunted hot spots. Of course we were totally psyching ourselves out, but it was still genuinely terrifying at times. I like getting properly spooked on Halloween. I also have fond memories of making up bogus stories to mess with some of the younger kids in the neighborhood. :p

@mlogan Not to mention masks often get itchy and sweaty under there; often they are extremely uncomfortable to wear but without it you are basically someone in pajamas.


@Ms Littlefish Got to haze the younger generation. A haunted tour sounds intense! I'm not actually one for getting good and spooked though, I prefer a more quirky Halloween.

I like the camp and quirk, too. But, I think there's a sweet spot where spooky meets silly. And, that's my favorite kind of Halloween. :p

I was often the Death during Halloween, since 10y old at the Halloween parties at school, it was a good costume too! had many details, a scythe and a nice mask, I enjoyed scaring everyone and saying creepy stuff like: I'm taking you with me now, some kids were shocked and some others were even running away scared, buahahahah.


A few years before though, I remember dad wearing an Egyptian mummy pharaoh costume, during a Halloween birthday party of one of his friends and mom was like Minnie Mouse there, both looked rather fiendish in some way. I was a kid there and dressed as some sort of clown-mime iirc, and it's funny since they scared me a lot back then, but it was dad himself telling me to face my fear (and embrace it in this case I guess?), so I became something that always terrified me, like Batman, ahahaha.


Truth be told, that totally made me overcome my fear of clowns.

I wish I had pictures! I love Halloween, I love dressing up and one of my favorite times was when I was giving out candy for my entire shift at work for all the little ones with my bestie. He was a pirate (Every year for him, but I can't imagine any other outfit for him with his spectacular outfit and rolling brogue he effects), and I was a faery queen, and reused Arwen's dress (The deep navy and red brocade one the actress wears, I've even worn it to larps). I think the best part is the magic that just fills the air and the children's imaginations running rampant! Many folks at my old job was allowed to dress up, one of the managers dressed as "The Man in the Yellow Hat" with his own stuffed Curious George. <3

Sitting on my front porch and scaring children every Halloween. I've had this costume going for the last... 4 years now. The eyes fade in and out red and it throws people off all the time. >:)

@Count Federacy That's terrible lol, at least you make them earn that candy!

@Dalphjuice™ How were you even allowed to bring a scythe to school? There wasn't a "no weapon" policy? 


@Count Federacy Oh, gosh. I wouldn't want to see that.


I think my best was when I dressed up as a knight in sixth grade. I made my own helmet. Unfortunately, my crutches didn't exactly complete the look.  :rswt:  

What? It was made of plastic because part of a Halloween costume. XD

Well, yeah, but I guess it's different there, because as far as I know, we can't even bring Nerf guns to school. 

It is an unfortunate side effect of current conditions, especially in the US. I was allowed plastic weapons when I was younger. Not so much any more @HexMozart88. Which is as exciting as wet noddles, for a more pg rated wording. 

I'm not sure if this can even be classified as a weapon, it's more like a toy, you can't even hurt an ant with this thing. It's entirely made of cheap plastic and soft too.

The thing is, at schools here, you can't have anything that even looks like a weapon. You can't even wear masks.
