    There'll be a few Germans around Dublin tomorrow night. You should ask them for a loan.

    Gonna do the same as every year- nick the parish priests Morris Minor and drive it onto the bonfire.

    It's silly, but traditional.

    Robocop or Edward Scissorhands.

    I'd go with Scissorhands but I know I'd eventually spill everyone's pints reaching for mine :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    I'm gonna go with something original, like The Joker from Batman, or maybe wear a Scream mask.

    Yeh I didn't even make my costume this year. I've got a nurses costume. I'm gonna just zombify that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,251 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    I know it's more Christmasy, but I'm going as Buddy the Elf! Was originally going to go as Chazz Michael Michaels from Blades of Glory, but as it was sold out, opted for Buddy instead. Looks good though!

    I'm going on the piss in Dublin as Heisenberg from Breaking Bad. I will also be handing out free bags of meth.

    A few years ago I was stuck on the day for a costume so had to come up with something quick. From around the house...
    • Biscuits
    • Ketchup
    • Shower Cap
    • An electrical chord from an old VCR
    • Tungsten tipped screws (good for making points)
    • My shower curtain
    • My bath mat

    Top-Tip: you sweat your head off with the shower cap on in a nightclub.



    Another top tip, try to avoid anything with a mask. May look good but you're neglecting the fact that you're going to be drinking/smoking for the night.

    That's all well and good Forrest Gump but I fail to see what that has to do with Halloween :confused:

    I personally think the pefect costume to wear is an evil clown suit, a lot of people have a fear/phobia of clowns = Coulrophobia, someone dressed up in an evil clown outfit would scare some people-best clown costumes Id recommend on amazon.uk plus other sites are in the following links.

    I like to use the first knock as a reminder to turn off the front lights. Then I walk out to the door (they can see me through the glass panels) and just turn off the light and return to what I was at.

    Just as good as answering the door and telling them to fcuk off.
