Every year I struggle to think of a good halloween costume. What are y’all going as this year so I can steal your good ideas?

    Captain Jack Sparrow, for two reasons:

    1. I like wearing costumes that have a soundtrack, which I loop on my phone and playing while I’m out and about.
    2. I live in a walkable area and it’ll be fun to do the Jack Sparrow walk/run while I"m out and about.

    Happy Halloween.

    Going as Mr Clean. Seems simple and fun. Although, with Halloween parties being what they are, we’ll see how long those pristine whites last.

      Oooh, this is a great idea! I’m bald AF now so might be a great way to capitalize on that

    We were set to go to Fan Expo with these, but wife Pokemon-loving kiddo weren’t feeling quite 100%. This is ultimately good, because the obscure (in the US) anime that kiddo was angling for was just not going to happen for Halloween.

    So, I’m going as Professor Freide, wife as an Umbreon, and kiddo as Nemona from the Violet video game. Kiddo’s oversized Pikachu pillow got a captain’s hat safety-pinned to his head, so he’ll be Cap.

    My kid saw a hunchback costume in a Halloween book we’ve been reading at bedtime and he thinks I should be one. It seems a bit ableist, but it’s also as easy as throwing a cloak on and shoving a pillow under my shirt, so I guess I’m not opposed.

    Lady Licorice.

    We are doing a scary candyland theme at work.

    I think a jolly rancher could be terrifying too.

    Normal human man, just like every other day of the year.

    Why yes, this is a very wide smile. Thank you.
