My 3-year-old wants to be a mummy. I think my partner and I are going to be a vampire and a Frankenstein and our 1-year-old is going to be a ghost. Can’t beat the classics.

I’m going as my evil twin for Halloween. It’s just me, but with a fake mustache.

I wanted to take my kids out for Halloween this year because they’re 12&13 but they’ve officially hit the ‘hanging out w dad isn’t cool’ age, so this year is likely to be the last one.

Betty/Rosie the Riveter

My transition is to the point I can actually feel comfortable doing it and one of the jobs I do is literally using a rivet gun.

But also she's going to be with the IWW

I was planning on being a scarecrow last year and then I spent the next 10 months either protesting or doomscrolling.

So maybe try for being a scarecrow again?

That would be awkward if we both showed up at the same party, except we both know that is an impossibility

Be perceived? Never.

On the fly my friend created what I thought was a great Halloween costume. He wore an inflatable swim ring around his face and head. And he had a cheap tie hanging down from his chin over the ring. When people asked him what his costume was he said "(Of course) I'm a flower."

Before we got to the party we stopped off at a dollar store. He bought plastic bunches of grapes and he attached them to his clothes with safety pins. At the party - out of nowhere - a woman picked a grape off his costume. And then throughout the night a surprising number of women picked his grapes.

I have some cool ideas for a Harley Quinn costume with my own spin on the character... but the odds of me somehow attaining a social life in the next 33 days is astronomically low so the idea will have to wait for a year when I might actually be around other people

Either lt-dbyf-dubois or I'll just throw on some corpse paint

I may do a cartoon burglar guy, get a stripped shirt and little mask.

I'm going as bathrobe Tony Soprano, like when he goes out to get the paper.

Think I'll do what I did last year and be The Candy Ghoul. I've got a kick ass Nosferatu looking coat, a spooky black scarf that covers most of my face and a hood and then I just go out and hand out some candy cause I live in an apartment and can't otherwise. I live in a great Halloween neighborhood, there's an elementary school basically next door where the kids do a big costume parade around the neighborhood during the day and it is BUMPING at night, last year there was a dude just driving around in his car absolutely CRANKING This is Haloween from Nightmare Before Christmas and Monster Mash and stuff. Halloween is dope
