That sucks!! I went trick or treating till I was 18!! lol
And I didn't do like the other kids that age in the neighborhood did and just walk around in street clothes and a pillowcase, No siree, I dressed up completely!!

It kind of helped that I was short!!

HALLOWEEN.... Watch that movie series!! Michael Meyers...

Im going to work! wooo Im sure CC will get a lot of business that night..


Aftwards im going to drive around and put a red rotating light ontop of my car if I see kids TP'ing to scare them all away...I know its illegal to do that with a light, but as long as I dont keep it on and out of the car long, I don't think i'll have a problem

Oh and i'll probably play a little paintball too if someone decides to TP my house

I don't think I am too old for trick or treating even though I am not going to this year. I much prefer going to parties which is my plan for Friday night. Haunted houses/hayrides/forests are always fun to do with friends before Halloween night. I definately enjoy being scared. I am quite excited though for Friday at school becuase the entire senior class comes in outrageous costumes. It would be nice though if I actually have a costume planned, but hopefully I can pull something off the night before.

Also, I know that what I dress up as is not something I wish I could be... one year I was a blind old man, and several others a trollop... I know for a fact that I do not want to be either, its just fun to dress up and be someone else for the night.
I agree. But also, you gotta think outside of the horror movies. You see people dressed up like Brintney Spears, Marilyn Manson (I know one who did this), and other stars.

That was what I was generally referring to in my statement.

For those of you who say you're too old for Halloween, I leave you this quote by Brian Aldiss:
Quote:
When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults.
My friends and I have been talking about many group costumes. Some ideas that have been thrown around are Matrix vs. Agents (it was decided this was too cliched), Clockwork Orange Droog gang (but we did this a few weeks ago), the cast of the Rocky Horror Picture Show ( =OO!!!! ), the cast of Holy Grail, and several other ideas. However, I think with the whole SATs-on-saturday and college-apps-due-saturday things keeping us all busy, none of those ideas are going to happen =(

I think I'm just going to get a pirate hat/scimatar and wear my oldskewl Napster (1.0) shirt ;-)

A good group costume for four people that I have never been able to convince my friends to do is the 4 Horseman of the Apocolypse. There's Death, Famine, Pestilence and War. And it would be funny if they all had those little kids toys, the Horse heads on sticks, as their horses. My friends are boring and never want to do fun things like that.

I like the horsemen idea, but, imo, 2001 cast is funnier.

I am almost finished with my monolith, all it needs no is black paint. I was wearing it around earlier, and its a bit tough.

Very restricted feet travel, I put a few windows in front, and one on each side, so the veiw is more like that from a car than from a mask. No armholes, but what else are friends-in-monkey-suits for than to be a pair of hands for the monolith that gave them sentience? Its kept on by a pair of duc(t/k)-tape shoulder straps, which are working fine so far. I have enough room in there to move my arms around . . enough to get to my pockets, my face (for itching), and to pass things in and out of the windows (imagine trying to pay the ticket-booth guy, or giving my movie ticket to the ticket-taker! hahaha!)

I think this will be the craziest costume I've ever done. I love 2001, and when my friend said he was goin as HAL, I thought about which character I could choose, and decided to go monolith.

So far, we have a monkey, maybe a HAL (though he probably won't have time to make it) a Frank, and some other un-costumed louts. And myself.


I think it will be great.
