Are you going to wear a Halloween costume this year?

So, is anyone getting dressed up this coming Halloween? I know, its a bit silly, but its still pretty fun! I'm thinking of going as Tousen.

It kinda sucks. I've never done anything for Halloween. There goes my childhood :(

Since I'm on a military base, for Halloween I want to dress up as a Viet Cong with the cone hat and an AK-47, but that will probably get me shot or beat up. Some people just can't take a joke.

No, I haven't done anything for Halloween for about 8 years now.

I've spent the past week planning my Buckethead costume for this year.

I haven't found anything yet, but I know what I need.
Mask
3 or 4 KFC buckets
Cargo Pants
Black Jacket
Long, curly wig

And optionally a prop guitar. Perhaps the white Les Paul Guitar Hero controller.

If I'm successful with this, I'll post pictures and whatnot. Good luck with Tousen, rockmanj. That's pretty badass.

I like how certain people on this forum assume everyone on here is from America, celebrates American holidays or is always up to date with American brands/stores. ;)

I'm not sure if it's the same down in Melbourne Raven, but Halloween isn't really a special day in Brisbane. All there is is probably a few themed TV shows. Namely The Simpsons and Futurama.

I know, hence the "celebrates American holidays" remark.

Nah, nobody even mentions it here. I usually remember to have a look for anyone who might be out and about, though. Never had anyone knock on my door, personally.

actually, don't most religions/nations have a 'dress-up' holyday of some sort?
I know that mexico has one, and so do we.

I can't think of an Aussie holiday like that...

Man, I should be ashamed. I can't even remember when that guy died. But they haven't made a public holiday out of him yet.

Anything remotely dress-up would be ANZAC Day, but that hardly counts.

Do you guys do anything else besides Trick or Treat on Halloween? Like a family dinner or something? Or is it all door knocking people, threatening people to surrender their candy or you do burnouts on their lawn?

People our age (with a social life) will go to parties. It's not really a family holiday.

I like how there's always a reply like this in holiday threads. Assassin did this with the Independence Day thread. Dudes, if the thread does not apply to you, then don't post in it :confused:.

Actually, I think its fairly big here in Korea...like lots of people like to dress up...not so much the candy collection though. Honestly though, most of the dressing up occurs at parties for adults...

And I'm quite aware its an international forum.. (FYI, halloween started in Ireland or something like that).
