What Were You the Last Few Halloweens?

[Leave a Whisper]

What were you the last few Halloweens? Let's see, I was a Valkyrie, Pit from Kid Icarus an intergalactic bounty hunter and a pirate.

Last couple years I was Jade Harley from Homestuck, the Eleventh Doctor from Doctor Who, and a sad adult who is too old for trick or treating. This year, I'm probably going to be Coral Grimes from The Walking Dead.

I was a lazy rabbit who sat on the couch and watched horror movies.

I miss when Hank was a little Hank and I could take him trick or treating. I love seeing the kids in their costumes. I also miss that my friend john stopped having his yearly parties. I'd have one, but I live way far out for friends and family to drive for just a few hours. Sorrow.

I went as a person from the census bureau for Halloween at my school.

It's really sad but Halloween isn't big in NZ. I so wish it was :devil:

I could dress the ginger kits up as pumpkins Whiskey being a black cat already is pretty set I'll just have to duct tape him to my broom:blackcat:

Pish posh, your never too old to bum candy from the neighbors. Here you can borrow Miss Prissy if you need an excuse and a cute face to get a couple extra pieces in. XD

Ohh it sounds like so much fun. I wish it was bigger over here. We get a hand full of trick or treaters and that's about it

If I had more time on my hands I could dress the critters up

When I got my first house I raced home as soon as I could from work, filled a big bowl of chocolate frogs & waited

Mean while Lightning (who believes chocolate is not bad for dogs) watches me fill the bowl & sees all these kiddies going from house to getting goodies from the neighbors decides he's going to be a hell hound for Haloween and wouldn't let the first lot in the gate.....
He got locked in his kennel but still barked up a storm when ever the gate latch rattled so I got no trick or treating kids at all..... just left holing a large bowl of frogs

Which felt I should eat just so they could fulfill their destiny

Last year I was genderswap Joker, and my makeup was on POINT:

The year before that I was Sailor Mercury. I also made a costume one year and went as a Monster Energy Drink.

 

[h1m3.]

I haven't celebrate Halloween as a child (I know horrible :S but it wasn't that big thing that time here)

I have been ghost couple of times because it is so easy .Then Witch, Crazy hat maker and Soldier. Not of imagination

 

[tulagirl]

You were a ghost @h1m3. ? Tee hee how did you make your costume? For some reason when I think of ghost costumes I think of one of my favorite movies, "Beetlejuice." Does anyone remember those insane sheets they used for a ghost costume in that movie?

This year I am going as myself. This is probably the scariest costume ever and if I actually don't do make up with it some people may pass out from fright when I walk through the neighborhood begging for candy.

 

[evilbunnyfoofoo]

tula just slayed me! Hah! I'll join you and we'll clear out the whole town! We can gorge on all the candy we desire.

 

[tulagirl]

Yea can't you see all the little kids that will drop their candy bags in horror and run?

 

[evilbunnyfoofoo]

Yea can't you see all the little kids that will drop their candy bags in horror and run?

We can stomp down the street making Godzilla noises and the kids will book it, thinking we're insane!

FREE CANDY!

Plus, free kid if one faints!

 

[tulagirl]

Haha free kid!!! ROFLOL I am dying over here that is really funny. Oh gosh I could totally do the insane routine without much effort.

 

[h1m3.]

@tulagirl ofc I used a white sheet to make ghost costume Exactly like you imagined it but I also cut eye holes to it so I would see something and used only white sheet so not like in the movie ;D

I would love to see your Halloween routie :'D poor kids

We don't get Halloween around these parts. Instead, kids go around asking for sweet stuff (hah) on All Saints' morning, the day right after. Our "Dress-up! Go outside! Have fun! Mischief and tomfoolery for all!" celebration is actually Carnival, for which I did dress up quite a few years. So I guess I'll share those then!

Note: Keep in mind when I say Carnival, I don't mean huge parades and skimpy outfits and samba. That's Brazil's Carnival, who over the years preempted the holiday for themselves- [REDACTED] -and does anyone even remember Venice? Seriously, those masks take real craftsmanship! I mean, globalization is- [REDACTED] -next thing you know, we'll all be wearing sandals with socks! The samurai did it, so it must be cool, right? Wait, what was I talking about? *looks around*
...
Oh.
Oh, um...
UhhhhhhhhMy costumes!! *waves hands* Yaaaaaaay!

Age 2 - Black & red Pierrot
Age 3 - Fairy Queen (the outfit had a crown)
Age 4 - Pink bunny / A ballerina
Age 5 - Pink bunny
Age 6 - Pink bunny (can you tell I liked this one?) / Little Red Riding Hood
Age 7 - Sleeping Beauty
Age 8 - A Bee / Sailor Moon
Age 9 - A Gypsy
Age 10 - Cleopatra
Age 11 - Mulan
Age 12 - Misty from Pokémon

Fun fact 1:
The reason some years have 2 costumes to them is because I usually had a costume for the parade (and the Bee and Mulan costumes were actually IN the parade), held the Sunday before Carnival, and one for Carnival Day proper.
Fun fact 2:
A few of these I had to check in an unlikely source; a notebook filled with drawings from when I was 9 years old, dated 1997. As a kid I loved documenting the passage of time. Anything from daily routines, to the changing seasons, to stuff like this. I was a chronicler in the making, looks like.

As an adult, the only times I dressed up for Carnival was when I first wore my Edward Elric and Silver (Pokémon Gold/Silver) cosplays for a photoshoot event in Lisbon. The event organizers chose Carnival specifically so that beginners can get used to wearing cosplay in public, since quite a few people on the street are going to be dressed up anyway.

Aaaaaand I'm sorry, you have a topic about Halloween and here I am rambling on and on about a completely different (albeit with a few similar elements) holiday. Carry on! ^^;;

P.S.: And seriously, just joking about Brazil.

I went as a vampire once, that was fun. My sister went as a leopard- used a onesie. Onesies can be quite handy for dressing up sometimes! :vampire:
