I'll either be asleep or at work so: Disgruntled wage slave.

I've been working on my costume for about two months now, and it's about 2/3rds done. I haven't quantified total expenditures yet but I'd estimate it's over $700 in materials and supplies.
Yes, it's a fursuit (bird suit partial).
Red cap, grey Music Band T shirt, red hoodie, skateboard. Bam: Sexy Steve Buscemi.

Turd Ferguson. Again.
You've got the sidekicks too, right? That costume only works if you've got the two other people.
I have had a David S. Pumpkins suit since just after it aired and I wear it every year.
I have been catcalled twice by other men wearing it. They were very aggressive.
I am also in a stock photo of a business meeting where I am wearing the suit and there are about 30 people wearing normal clothing because I went to a conference on 10/30 where they encouraged costumes, showed up an hour late and had to sit in the front row. The picture is taken of me sitting there hungover and looking tired and everyone else smiling.
It's the most flammable suit I own.
No regrets.
Roadkill! Working mostly with faux-fur and blood and part of a licence plate sticking out or the mess.
If I leave the house, I've been basically dressing as a witch for years at this point. Somewhere in my closet is a witch hate and a no longer scented cinnamon broom. Think my crafted potion bottle necklace is somewhere.
All my costume requires is me to find the miscellaneous things, some dark clothes, and boots. I never plan to do anything but sometimes I get invited. And some of those times I even show up.
Unfortunately nothing this year! No party to go to and living in an apartment with very few kids so its not like anyone will come around. I do keep candy just in case anyone does apt trick or treating but they won't lol.
Easily my favorite holiday tho, the vibes are immaculate and it is just so fun if you let yourself have a good time.
Growing up I was obsessed with making my own costumes, they were always low budget and terrible costumes, but it was fun!
Amish. I have a big beard and moustache, but I'm having nasal surgery on the 5th of November, and I have to shave the 'stache, so why not use it for Halloween?
Just FYI, most Amish sects shave their moustaches, and the beards typically mean you're married.
Thanks! Had no idea. I'll still do it, unless you have another, better suggestion?
Nah, it's a good costume. Just wanted you to be aware, so you can deal with any unforseen reactions
I am rapidly learning that cosplay is a lot harder than it looks...

Last year it was banana, so I think this year I’ll do something a little more mature.
Sexy banana.
I put a wig on, and I’m Alan from the Hangover. I like to wear that costume and stop by my usual haunts/hang out until people realize it’s me.

I already have a pretty good skull mask and some extended bony finger gloves, was thinking of getting some random armour pieces, a cape, and becoming a Dark Souls enemy
I dunno though. There's some super cheap blackened steel armour on Etsy that could be good for a variety of costumes. Feels a little tryhard though
I'll be going as a tired old fart watching TV and handing out candy.
Same costume I wear every year.
Some costume I wear every night, except for the candy.
I don’t do Halloween. I don’t like dressing up as anything other than me, and I don’t feel like anyone would be very impressed.
The Halloween Party theme is animals, so I'm dressing up as a stuffed animal that some of them know.
I would like to be Venjent but my problem is that the things i want to dress up as aren't things anyone recognizes.
No because I'm not American.
UK here and Halloween is in a weird place. Its shoved down your throat really hard by every retailer. Adverts on TV, radio, pumpkins everywhere, SPOOKTOBER DEALS and such.
But, like, nobody cares? For the party animals its an excuse to dress slutty and get pissed up, and its an excuse for kids to dress up and walk around at dark, but everyone just seems to be going along with it because everyone seems to be going along with it.
I wish we could either have it be a bigger deal than it is so everyone cares, like Xmas (inb4 calling me secularist - piss off) or nobody cares and we can just stop.
As it currently is its just awkward.
I'm in Switzerland and it is indeed a weird place. Supermarket will sell Halloween themed candy and stuff but really most people don't care. It's actually funny how you can tell where the Americans live this time of the year, because only a few houses will have Halloween decorations up.
And I guess there will be Halloween themed parties where people wear costumes as well, but it's certainly not a mainstream event and more like marketing gimmick.
I will be at home that evening in my tracksuit bottoms and hoodie.
Need to think of something for my kid though.
No fun is allowed in your country I presume
No. I'm an adult.
It's an Americanism that only children partake in where I live (Australia). It's fine, and I'm not such a miserable cunt that I would stop my kids going out (with me) to go trick or treating but it's not something adults join in with.
It makes more sense as a harvest festival with pumpkins, sure, but it's not pumpkin season in the southern hemisphere
Aren’t you all forgetting it’s meant to be horror related costumes?
