I saw a kid with an invisible man type set up with an oversized suit coat and a little wire at the top holding up a pair of glasses so it appeared they had no head.
That’s cool !
I had a bunch of kids dress up as my dad and not show up
There was a couple at a party i went to that were each dressed as a giant boob. When they stood next to each other they completed the rack.
Nice. I hope everyone took the time to make every dirty pun that the costume demands.
They totally did! It was great.
Nice ha ha
Friend and her husband were Kamala and Kanye -that was good. Another friend’s family went as Gravity Falls and that was fun. Several cute spidermen and general fairies and princesses.
The costumes of the people who really enjoyed being in costume.
Including yours.
Had some teenagers come to the door at the end of the night with really lame costumes, with cheap capes and a bit of face make up. I don’t think they cared what they were dressing up us and they were going through the motions of collecting candy.
From my own experience as a kid on Halloween, I’m pretty sure they had been to a few houses where people weren’t nice to them.
I made them laugh and asked them if they were having fun … then gave them several handfuls of chocolates, candies and a bunch of chips. They were surprised and said mine was the best house they’d been to. Told them they were great and to have fun. Waved them off and saw them running down the street.
It’s great to be a kid … but it also feels good to make kids feel great too.
Nice move from you!
It was partly to save myself … we got rained on for Halloween this year so we had half as many kids come to the door. I had stocked up on a ton of candy and I wanted to get rid of it as much as possible. I really didn’t want to get stuck with several boxes of chocolates and chips at the end of the night. You should have seen the two teens that I decided were going to be the last ones I served for the night at 8:50pm … I had about a hundred little chocolate bars and about eight bags of little chips … I told them they were the last two I would serve for the night and I gave them everything. They were tall kids about maybe 14 or 15 and I could see myself in them. I thought, if I were them, I would have been very happy to meet an adult like me on Halloween night. Felt great to give all that stuff to them. Their eyes were wide and amazed as I filled their bags. They’ll enjoy it more than me.
It’s rural here and I guess that comes with the implication that a lot more of the costumes are going to be basic. Regular vampires, regular witches, etc. So for a lack of a better word, I probably overdo it every year because I do it in the form of cosplay, which used to be normal before I inherited my current home and the social environment changed. I might be biased since they’re a common subject in my art, but the main exception were some Pokémon characters, namely from Pokémon Horizons. I know one very well-dressed Liko and one very well-dressed Roy were wandering around telling people they were looking for treasure (candy) and the adventurer Lucius (using that character as a parody of how nearby is Bernie Sanders’ childhood home, which itself is a hotspot), nods to the Pokémon Horizons series.
I just feel alone since I don’t enjoy any costumes… I’m amazed that people enjoy dressing up. It’s just missing entirely in my own personality. Fuck I’m boring.
I don’t like it that much to be honest, but on the other hand sometimes I’m amazed how dedicated some people are
that is a bummer.
My two-bit hypothesis is social anxiety and cynicism, you should make yourself dress up and conquer that.
you get to live once, and each moment passes quicker than the last.
I saw someone dressed up as a biblically accurate angel, with a mask/helmet thingy that was a throne/ophanim… I love biblically accurate angels so much and it made me really happy to see that!
I saw nothing. Zero.
Not even The Invisible Man?
The inflatable dinosaur carrying a kid costume and it’s variants are still great. I feel like I saw more amusing variants of it this year, but I don’t member the details.
I saw a couple kids wearing matching Jason costumes. I hope they had a great time jump scaring their friends with identical twin shenanigans.
There was a group all in matching striped prisoner outfits. I noticed they took care to walk in a line as if chained together.
There was a version of spider-man I need to look up on Marvel Unlimited. It looked like a mix of the Iron-Spider and one of Miles’ costumes. It looked great, and made me curious if Miles has an iron spider storyline yet.
There was one lady with two kids walking down my street. No idea what their costumes were. Not a single porch had lights on.
I saw someone in a They Live mask. Well, I hope it was a mask.
