Halloween's coming

    This may seem a bit sad for a grown man to admit but i love Halloween. I love it far more than i did when i was a child. I especially love dressing up in some stupid costume and probably put far, far too much effort into it.

    I once bought a latex burns paste and covered half my head with it (I'm bald). I bought a wig, cut it in half and stuck it on the other side of my head with boob tape and went as Harvey Dent. I even found badges online that said "I believe in Gotham City, Vote for Harvey Dent". I bought a load and handed them out all night.

    So it's that time of the year when i have to start thinking about a costume. If I buy one i want to give it a few weeks to arrive.

    Does anyone else put effort in? Or is it a case of wearing a bin-bag and calling yourself a witch? What were your best costumes and what are you thinking of this year?

    I'm going to dress up as a 'sexy boards.ie poster'.

    Which means I walk around in my underwear.

    So no change there really.

    I went to Amsterdam last year for it and dressed up as a Zombie nurse and went to an all night fancy dress party. It was bloody awesome. I'm seriously considering doing the same again this year - must start thinking about costumes :D

    For the first time I'll be out of the country. I do enjoy Halloween but I want to see a partial solar eclipse in the Canaries on the 3rd of November. Oh, and enjoy all the drinking and eating and sexing I'll do while there.

    the only good thing about halloween is the army of women wandering around town in basically nothing and i'm old enough now that I just feel like a dirty old man if I set foot in a pub on the night.

    probably just have a few cans and **** myself to sleep.

    I really like Halloween, just got into it the last 3 years, love putting in loads of effort and making a homemade costume. I've gone to house parties but would love to go out to a Halloween ball where people have put in some effort as well, as the pubs you might get half dressing up and then the rest are in regular clothes. Searched on google but can't see anything advertised yet apart from fitzsimons bar in temple bar and a halloween student ball in Waterford. I know last year Empire entertainment had a halloween ball in Leopardstown Bewleys hotel but it sold out pretty quick.
    Anyone know of a Halloween ball/event on the Saturday or Sunday 26th/27th of Oct in Dublin ?
    or might travel if there's something decent and well organised down the country

    I'm very lazy when it comes to Halloween. I tend to leave it until the last minute and use a black marker to make my 'costume'. One year I coloured my eyes in black and wrote 'P' all over my face to be the Black Eyed Peas :/ and last year I just drew a Hitler moustache and done a combover. So very very lazy.

    I dress as a gangsta

    It's an excuse to wear a bandana. How cool are they.

    What's that 1990s? You want your ghetto outfit back?

    AFTER Halloween I said.

    yeah just had a quick look there online, looks good, they have a Carnival and fireworks, they have a ball as well but its on the 31st Oct which wouldn't suit me plus I find it hard to get my mates to dress up, let alone go off up to Derry.

    Indeed, a good costume should take a while, my housemate made Commander Shepherd's armour from the Mass Effect games last year was amazing, lit up and all

    Haha!! No, it's Alex though he does act like Damien on occasion....mostly when he hasn't eaten in a while.

    (He will be 29 this coming birthday so no one needs to give me grief for not feeding my kid. He knows where the stove is. LOL)

    I like the idea of halloween but in dublin it doesn't really work. It tends to be just an excuse for knackers to burn ****.
