Halloween Discussion Forums, Costumes, Horror!

Cool. That seems like a fun way to be more into it.

What have been some of your backstories?

Anyone have an original costume that they've created a backstory for?

I have a zombie gunslinger costume I've put together and I'm thinking of creating a backstory, like name, how the character got that way, etc.

I've also seen trick-or-treat-bag-sized soda cans with Halloween themes. Sunkist makes small cans for the holiday. It's still the same orange soda though. I think I'm going to buy several cans and pass that out this year just to be different.

Very cool!

I think Link is a great idea. It's too bad the game isn't called "The Adventures of Link" so the character has more name recognition.

Mine was KING LEONIDAS from 300.

Followed by Superman, Spider-Man and Jack Sparrow.

I'm game if Boo is.

I watch my favorite horror movies every year but The Blair Witch Project gets watch the first Saturday of every October and Halloween is watched mid-October. I have a "Die Tunes" playlist on my iPod that I listen to between Labor Day and Halloween. Other than that nothing too ritual specif...

I'm going as The Six Million Dollar Man.

See my post above yours.

It's the cyborg prosthetic.

Sorry I missed the exchange. I would have loved to participate.

I need to get the "light-up" series. I have the BK Creepy Classics series though.

I agree Dr. Strange about planning early for a costume. I always tell people that they need to start shopping as soon as the costumes hit the stores. But every year people I know wait until the last week and can never find what they are looking for. I ordered something from an online Halloween shop ...

eBay is a good place to start. Just search on "Treehouse of Horror" or "Simpsons Halloween." eBay would have items not currently available of course.

The thing I just bought I pre-ordered through a comic shop.
