Best Halloween Costume this at your door this year.

[FatherXmas]

Sadly this year too many kids phoned it in this year.  I blame zombies.  You just wear normal clothes, dirty and fake bloody them up a bit, apply powder to the face and more fake blood and you're a zombie.  However I do admit the zombie Disney princesses, reusing last year's store bought, was a good re-purposed costume.

However all that said the best was an Amy/Doctor hybrid.   Tween girl with long red hair, shirt/jacket/bow tie/sonic screwdriver on top, leggings and little skirt on bottom.  Good thing it warmed up for Halloween but she and her "track star" buddy were running from unit to unit anyways.

Other common costumes, Finn from Adventure Time, guys from Regular Show, Ninja Turtles, a Beetlejuice, some Freddies, a Jason, various Micky and Minni's, classic cute little witches.

Next year everyone gets two pieces up front, ended up with way too many leftovers.

Oddest thing was I mixed in a bunch of plastic spiders with the candy.  When I said take one to the kids, some took a spider, had to call them back for a piece of candy.

So how was your area tonight?

  We live way out in the country so no trick-or-treaters for us.  The closest I can get is handing out experience points for people who come to my usual Saturday gaming session to come in costume.

Don't think anyone will come to my door. I think by now they learned to leave it be. I have no candy for them and they are just wasting their time like last year and the year before that and the year before that. Get treated like Jehovah witnesses that ring my doorbell at the crack of dawn on the weekend.

I used to give out candy every year, but the last two years I did it I got mostly teenagers who didn't even bother to dress up so I discontinued the practice.

Last year (1st year in new house) I was fighting my storm door and all I could see was the reflected glare from the interior lights.  This year I propped the storm door open, but I had also decided to swap out my door light with a black-light bulb for extra effects and wound up not being able to see anything again.  That said, as always my main problem is that I was more focused with distributing the candy as fast as I could and I wasn't sparing attention to the costumes anyway.  I did notice one girl was dressed as a can of Coke, but she was back out on the sidewalk by then.  Perhaps I should set up camp outside of my house, but I don't have a porch and I'd feel odd just on my steps.

Evidently "ninja" is now just a genericized Sub Zero, Scorpion, or (I think) Reptile. I had about a dozen kids who had no idea what Mortal Kombat was...

[JWBullfrog]

The last three years it just hasn't been worth it. Too many older teens who just didn't care, too few small children. Now I just get through the night hoping that nobody is stupid enough to go after the trash cans (the raccoons hate the competition.)

I only had one ToTer this year--an adorable little kid (maybe 4 or so?) in a full Superman costume with his dad. Had I known he'd be the only one, I'd have given him more candy.

The one that had me laughing the hardest took some dedication.  It was cold out there this year.  So, the kid (high school, probably a senior) who showed up at my door in copy uniform and sunglasses minus the shirt (obvious stripper cop) had to be a little chilly.  According to his (I think) sister who was with him, "Yeah, he's not that bright."

This year, instead of a Musketeer, my brother and I dressed up as pirates and had a treasure filled with "loot". We sat on the front porch and let the kiddies (young and older) take a handful of candy. We had a fairly good amount of kids come by too. Of course, we had the kiddies answer a simple a question first. What is a pirrate's faavorite letterr. surprisingly, I found out that the letters E, L, and C were among them.

Halloween has typically been an evening out at the local bar for me for the past decade or so,
so no trick-or-treaters at my door.   

That said, one guy did show up at the bar in costume (he took his kids round TnT'ing earlier),
and his costume was a 1-piece Baby outfit (with the hind-end "trapdoor" and cutesy puppy
and pony patches on it). He also had a soother (about the size of a 40W lightbulb) on a lanyard
around his neck.

Pretty amusing...

He got the appropriate amount of light-hearted abuse, accompanied by good humor and chuckles
all around.   

A fine evening.


Cheers,

I didn't get an pics of the kiddies that came to the door though. We had a Snow White, a couple of Ninja Turtles, a witch, a catgirl, a Snake eyes (G.I. Joe), a Smurfette, and a few other generic personages. Surprisingly, no zombies.

Weren't too many kids this year sadly, and most of them were some kind of colorful witch-princess looking hybrids, and quite a few were wearing coats over their costumes because it was raining almost all day...

I'd like to think if it hadn't been raining the whole day, we might have gotten more, but instead my family is now stuck with a bunch of sugary candy, about a third of which no one really likes...

[Aggelakis]

I worked, so I only saw a few kids. The best was a little four-year-old as "pink Zatanna". Parents, UR DOIN IT RITE!


This version. The tights were light pink and the jacket was darkdarkdark pink.

It was raining here, but we still got a few people at the door.  Sadly, though, not one Aquaman.  Seems the perfect costume for the night.

Well, my great-grandson was by far the cutest...*asserts bragging rights*

He has good taste in Halloween costumes.

I think I'm going to have to find a good Green Lantern suit. I already have the glowy ring and lantern.
