Well, I'm going to a Halloween party relatively soon, and so far I'm not quite sure what I'm going to be. I wish I could be Altair from Assassin's Creed, but nobody makes that, and I'm not going to be the first.

Altair, high atop a building.

(It's not pathetic that I want to look like a Video Game character!!)

Anyway, I thought it'd be interesting to ask what you guys (and girls) are going to be for Halloween. Including pics or links is encouraged! I'm curious to see what other GMCers would wear .

Well, i havent done anything for Halloween since i was 10 or 11, but everyone says i should be the tourettes guy cause i can do a good impersonation of him.

Posted by: Ayen Oct 17 2007, 11:56 AM

Yeah I haven't done anything for Halloween since I was like 5, which is why I chose to go to the party. It could give me a reason to call it a holiday.

Buckethead, but I don't fit into the mask yet, so I'm trying to lose some weight by then!

When is Halloween?

Posted by: swingline Oct 17 2007, 01:02 PM

I heard that the tourettes guy died. Is that true?

Posted by: Animosity Oct 17 2007, 01:11 PM

October 31st!

Posted by: mattacuk Oct 17 2007, 04:32 PM

I dont have a Halloween party to go to, but if i did i would go as buckethead for sure

I will carve out a Jacko-Lantern though, just out of tradition !!

I have a costume party on the 27th, but it isn't for Halloween

Posted by: timono Oct 17 2007, 05:30 PM

well, in the netherlands Halloween isn't a special day (so far i know at least) so i won't celebrate it

Posted by: Hemlok Oct 17 2007, 06:24 PM

Well timono, I will join you in not celebrating Halloween. Shall we celebrate? I have a case of nice cold Coopers Stout in the fridge.

Posted by: The Uncreator Oct 17 2007, 06:47 PM

Yeah it is

Posted by: mattacuk Oct 17 2007, 08:04 PM

We do celebrate Halloween in the UK, but alot of people see it as a nusance which is sad. I really love it, i wish we did halloween american style !!!

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Oct 17 2007, 08:09 PM

I'm amazed moving from the Uk to the USA - I think halloween in the UK is these days a watered down imitation of the US version. Like someone heard a rumour about it and did their best to recreate it.

Here in the USA, people plan it for weeks ahead, they decorate their houses, buy candy, make plans to get home from work early to see the kids, have haunted houses and all sorts, its crazy!

Posted by: mattacuk Oct 17 2007, 08:36 PM

Thats pretty cool, i will make the best effor to get some decorations up, and candy out for the kids!!

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Oct 17 2007, 08:36 PM

Good man!

Posted by: Fabian Schulz Oct 17 2007, 09:59 PM

It's the same in Germany. There are just a very few little kids going from house to house sollecting sweets.

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Oct 18 2007, 05:14 AM

Seriously cool

Posted by: fkalich Oct 18 2007, 05:47 AM

My dog BoBo dresses up as a Dinosaur.

I also taught him to trick or treat. Never teach a dog this trick, you will regret it.

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Oct 18 2007, 05:53 AM

At least it gets him out of the house and away form the 8 cats ...

Posted by: Pavel Oct 18 2007, 06:02 AM

Haha that dog looks awesome Love it!

Posted by: fkalich Oct 18 2007, 06:13 AM

BoBo gets at least 45 minutes a day in walks, mostly off leash. Everyday. I don't agree with the "Dog Whisperer" about everything, but that is one item that I believe in religiously. So many problems people have with dogs would vanish if they would just follow that rule. And you can make use of the time. I listen to Spanish lessons. At least a half hour for sure. About to take him now. It is raining, but he has a rain coat.



Thank you, I am proud of him. He obeys quite well for a naturally disobedient dog with canine attention deficit disorder. And does not have a mean bone in his body. One of my cats scares him though, Wooskie Booskie, my cat from hell. If she is on the porch I have to pick her up, or he won't go past her. She always likes to chase him and whack at him. She loves me though, licks my nose.

Here is Wooskie's picture. Not only is she a cat from hell, she hogs the remote control, and is always channel surfing.



When she licks my nose, she is probably just trying to get an idea of what I would taste like.

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Oct 18 2007, 06:15 AM

House of fkalich sounds like an interesting place to hang out ... does BoBo learn spanish as well or is it just you?

Posted by: fkalich Oct 18 2007, 06:27 AM

He does not learn. But I found out later that to call someone BoBo in Spanish is to say they are silly, so a good name.

i wanna be king diamond for halloween even though my hairs blond and it wouldnt stay back like his hair.

Posted by: botoxfox Oct 18 2007, 04:46 PM

mattacuk,

I was on youtube.com just watching random videos and I watched one of Buckethead when he was playing outside somewhere. I saw he was wearing a watch. and until that point I always thought of him as a robot or alien and after I watched that video I was like. Wait a second... aliens don't wear watches! He's a real guy??? WTF??!?!?!!?! HOW?????

Thought I might share that

sorry if it makes no sense - I just worked a 24 hr shift...

Posted by: PolackHax0r Oct 19 2007, 06:09 AM

Posted by: Slammer Oct 19 2007, 06:13 AM

I was never really into Haloween as a kid, I only liked eating the candy

I only dressed up once, When I was 10 I dressed up as batman and everybody Laughed at me

Posted by: kevin-riff-after-riff Oct 19 2007, 06:19 AM

Posted by: botoxfox Nov 1 2007, 01:05 AM

I have only one Halloween tradition. That is listening to the song Halloween by Helloween.

Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Nov 1 2007, 01:07 AM

Haha, thats a great song.

Posted by: botoxfox Nov 1 2007, 01:09 AM

Yeah, listening to it right now...

Posted by: rokchik Nov 1 2007, 02:51 AM

I don't know if it's a tradition or not but each year my friends and I get together and watch horror movies on Halloween. Tonights selection of movies includes Hellraiser, A nightmare on Elm Street (first one), The Exorcist and of course Halloween. Not sure which ones we'll watch but should be fun.

Posted by: tonymiro Nov 1 2007, 03:07 AM

Horror movies is a definite +1 Rok. The first part in a series for the shocks and maybe one of the naff sequels for a few unintended laughs .

Saw 'Hellraiser part 3...' (?) '...- Hell on Earth' the other week. Had me in stitches although not as funny as 'Halloween - Season of the Witch' (think it was Halloween, could easily have been any of them as it had nothing to do with any of them ). That really was excreable.

My choice btw for a good Halloween film would be John Carpenter's The Thing.

I have a feeling though that I find bits funny that the producers really meant to be scary. Might be my best friend's fault - he slows down horror films to find the edits and stuff. Like in Halloween where you can see a stage hand slightly off camera throw a cat on to the set if you freeze frame it. Or in Alien you can see the track that the baby alien runs on when it pops out of John Hurt's stomach .

Cheers,
Tony

We're watching the movie "Disturbia" and everytime the Boom mic appears overhead we're downing a shot.

Seriously though it shows up in every other scene. Its amazing how badly that movie is edited.

Posted by: JVM Nov 1 2007, 03:16 AM

I'm sitting here dressed as a total redneck right now, mullet and everything. Great home made costume

Later tonight I'm going to franklin street, it's one of the biggest halloween parties in the country. Something like 5000+ people go down to chapel hill (a town) and they close off the main street, franklin street, til early in the morning. All kinds of people. It's lots of fun Tradition around here.

Posted by: rokchik Nov 1 2007, 06:02 AM

The Thing is a great movie...but unfortunatley my friends are not very cultured in the way of movies. I'm surprised they even went for Hellraiser to be honest. The only reason I got the first Nightmare on there was because I told them Johnny Depp is in it.....didn't tell him how he dies though

My friends are not much into horror actually...they scare pretty easy. So it should be pretty fun. They've never seen Hellraiser....gotta love Pinhead!

On Halloween, if i want a real fright, i just play a record by Des O'Connor rolf
