Guys. I'm sorta bummed. Halloween is my favorite holiday of all time, but for some reason this year I'm just not feeling it. It just seems like a low energy holiday for me so far. So allow me a moment to live vicariously through you fine folks. Drop down any answers you feel like to the following questions:
Basically I just wanna feel this way again:
...Help me out?
I LOVE Halloween! And every other holiday...even the one's I'm technically not supposed to celebrate....but that's besides the point! I usually decorate like a madwoman, annoying my girlfriend and just about anyone else that comes over with fake spiderwebs, creepy statues, music that is totally not Nightmare Night and other shenanigans! This year I am going to go to a party with my friends (Mostly planned by yours truly) and I'm gonna' go as Vinyl Scratch! My girlfriend is either going as Rainbow Dash or a cat (Though I think all my immature jokes may have discouraged the cat route). I always make my own costume, only buying parts if I absolutely need too! I recently just got the wig done and ordered the glasses! And if I could be ANYTHING...I would either be Star Fox or a Enclave soldier! So I could purge the sub-human mutants
My dad has a couple of reasons for doing what he does 1) We're Australian and in his words "It's not an Australian holiday" and 2) because all year round parents tell their kids not to take things off strangers and yet this one night of the year they encourage them to knock on strangers doors and ask for candy.
Ah...I'll answer the 3rd one as well I guess. I would be a Dragon obviously,a full size, Dragon Age styled Dragon (yes I may accidentally crush a few neighborhoods but my costume would be epic as all hell so I win )
But if I had to be reasonable I guess I would go with some iteration of Batman, probably the Blackest Night Batman, because doesn't he just scream Halloween
Halloween is the best! It's my favourite holiday also and I'm sure everybody has noticed that every year I bring up the idea of halloween based competitions on the Vault. Every (Sh)October I watch a horror movie once a week for the whole month, it used to be one per day but that got to much . Also the closest weekend to Samhain me and my friends get some drinks, watch movies and I bring out my wooden Ouija board.
I'm a big proponent of making my own costume too. I'm the same way; I make and sew everything I can, but sometimes there are things that are just beyond my expertise or are just better made by someone else. The guess the upshot of this is that I now have a bunch of costumes that are ready to go this year that I can recycle, since I've given it exactly zero thought so far.
I love the idea of a Star Fox costume. I would really like to see that and I think you should totally do it at some point!
Oof. Yeah I can see why you'd prefer to skip being outside then. We have the opposite problem on this side of the equator: too cold that night. I can remember Halloween nights that have been 30 degrees Fahrenheit(!) where I've skipped going out all together because coats ruin costumes.
At those kinds of prices that candy probably lasts you through most of the winter holiday season!
Well, I'm obviously out on a limb, as my dislike of Halloween is only marginally more acute than my outright hatred of Christmas!
What's the Halloween equivalent of 'Bah! Humbug!'
Over here (UK) its just a Johnny-come-lately made up festival that some people seem to get excited about, but nobody really seems to quite know why...
I really like the idea of "Trunk or Treat." Are you driving to an area where there are a ton of trick or treaters? I live in a residential area, but being in an apartment I don't really ever get any. Sometimes if the weather is nice on Halloween (and it falls on a weekday) a few of my friends and I will walk around the neighborhood with a hot thermos of mulled cider and just sorta take it in.
I love your street version of Batman! Nailed it. The duster actually really ties it together. NCR Ranger would be really sweet though too.
I never participated in Halloween.
There are several reasons for that, chief among which is the fact that it isn't really a thing where I grew up. The second thing about it is that I don't respect the idea of it: what has eating candy to do with revering the dead? Dancing on graves has probably more to do with it than that.
And third, I woulnd't trust myself.
I am known amongst my friends for my somewhat unhealthy obsession with toxic plants (and illegal expérimentations) and well... let's just say that if I start ditributing candy it will probably be coated in solutions of different concentrations of toxic proteins (possibly lethal) I got from the local flora. After all, how are they going to trace that shit back to me? I mean, there's really nothing easier than procuring some opium or taxol to coat candy in, I'll just have to find some candy that comes unwrapped... I'm thinking this through a bit much aren't I?
