Halloween Help

[Harley Q]

So, Halloween is fast approaching and I was just informed that I'm going to a fancy dress party. My brain is stuck and I have absolutely no idea what to go as. I usually make my costumes so any ideas are welcome and would be very much appreciated!

A left 4 dead character? Shouldn't be to difficult I suppose.

 

[Nemu]

A spectacularly-dressed zombie.
Yes indeed.

A zombie. It's pretty easy... just get some make up, apply it to yourself creatively, and dye some cheap ripped clothes with red stains. That's if you're just messing around, they had a zombie parade in Melbourne sometime much earlier this year or last year(?), the amount of work some people put into their costumes was just awesome.

How about telling us what you're looking for in a costume? It would be a lot more helpful to us if you at least knew what look you might want.
Like do you want a sexy costume, zombie, scary, funny, ironic, what?

Go as a 19th century serial killer.
You get a monocle, evening dress, top hat, cloak AND a big knife!

I'm trying to steer away from the typical Zombie, Vampire, Witch, Devil type thing. Apart from that I'm open to anything really.

You see, i couldn't even think of something for myself. So i'm settling for a Fairy.
Yes, a fairy, because there scary >_> *cough*

You'd be a whole lot of evil if you went with a clown.
*shudder*

Ah, ok see that's helpful.

Well, I had the idea of going as Wilma Flintstone, with my boyfriend playing Fred. The costumes are easy if you feel like home making them.

You could be a disgruntled house wife. Have the look of a housewife, apron included, but slash some fake blood on it and carry a knife around.

I could come up with more if you want, but there's two ideas.

Depends on who's going to be there. Don't go as something so obscure you'll be answering "what is that" questions all night.

One time (for my last trick-or-treating year) I went as Mario. Pretty decent costume, too. But I was constantly answering questions about my costume. Except for a few teenagers, who knew right away who I was.

Although a clown is a pretty cool idea i guess. So long as you make it extra scary, fake blood and such, and an axe

Last year my boyfriend went as She-Ra and most people had no idea. This year he intends to go as Margaret Thatcher, the scariest woman in history. I'm beginning to suspect that he rather enjoys dressing up as women.

Vampire? Seems to me like vampire costume just means costume fangs and a nice outfit.

She said no vampires.

Since your boyfriend dresses like women, why don't you go as Jack the Ripper? You could go as G.H. Bush, a scary man in history.

He's secretly a cross-dresser. He plays piano at a little club I go to. You should totally dump him and go to the party dressed as Freddie Mercury. That would show him.

Here's a thought: What about Harley Quinn? Considering you seem to like her. Unless there's some other "Harley Q" I don't know about. It doesn't fix the problem of people not knowing who you are, but whatever.

But... cleavagey red leather...

But... twilight.
Yeah, I thought so.

 

[Kollega]

Dress as a clown,maybe even as a Joker himself. D'oh.

Or as a stereotypical mad scientist,if you don't want people to run away in terror.

I was wondering where he sneaked off to every night and why I seem to be going through more make-up these days. Oh well. Yeah I'll probably keep getting asked, "Why are you a Jester?"
