Fiance and I were going to be Captain Hook and Tiger Lily but we're now short on time to put a costume together. My best friend is going to be Tinkerbell, so I may be Silvermist to go with her costume. 
I'm making a toddler sized cardboard casket. I'm hoping to fit a large doll (or maybe pumpkin headed skeleton?) in it, then outfit it with some servos, lights, fog machine, and screaming baby sounds. Given that I have no money for the project, it should be interesting to see whether it actually scares the kids in the neighborhood...
Fret not! Some of my best costumes were thrown together the morning of Halloween!I promised myself I would make this Halloween incredibly fun but I didn't have the time to prepare anything really, I'll just have to improvise... :/
Lookin' good Gustito
And thanks!
I have since spraypainted my bowler.
Sadly I don't have the money to make a new costume this year. But I am thinking about combining two of my old costumes into one hopefully cool outfit. My current plan is to mix a gorilla monster cosrume with a steampunk outfit. I am hoping it will turn out looking like a steampunk experiment gone awry.
Strangely enough, I will be going as a police officer. *eyeroll*
But I WILL be handing out candy to kids/families that I see on the street, with parental permission. While I like the idea of kids trusting the police, I don't necessarily want them to associate strange men in cars with candy, ya know?

My soccer team decided on pop stars, so we put a bunch of names in a hat and picked.
I will be dressing up as the lovely Ms. Katy Perry, cupcake bikini and all!

The local SM club is putting on a few play scene performances that night, and I've decided to perform. Should be painful fun.
Air Commodore Grodd, Viscount of Hyrulia, I presume?
For myself, if I dress up, it'll be Fat Zombie.
Probably just hang with friends and pull another Diablo II all nighter.
Someone local to me posted their costume idea online (in particular they were wondering if it were suitable for going to children's parties dressed up this way), but it might pique your interest:
You should be able to play just fine in it, it'll be easily enough recognized by those that have seen the movie, and when asked what they are, who hasn't wanted to say, "I'm a psychopath that commits violent murders in order to attain sexual fulfillment." ?
I kind of want to go as Mark Zuckerberg.
I guess I'll probably be a zombie this year. I don't really have a lot of money to spend on a costume. I liked my mummy costume last year a lot, but I don't really want to do the same thing twice in a row. If I could do something with a mask that might be fun again, but I don't like those huge rubber masks. I might look for like a hooded robe thing where you can put a see through cloth over the face! I wonder how much those are.
I'm probably just going to reuse my Ghostbuster costume from last year. I don't like reusing costumes, but I've got no money, and that costume cost about $200 and 2 months of work, so I'm going to get as much mileage as possible out of it. Went to the Zombie Walk on Saturday though, and did something new for that.
I think our plan is to just have a few friends over and watch some halloween specials/ movies. Maybe have a bit to drink, but not a big party. I'm excited cause we're in a house now and out of the apartment building, so we might actually get honest-to-goodness trick or treaters! I friggin' LOVE Halloween, and have been looking forward to being able to do that for years!

Your kid is dressing as Yoshi and you AREN'T going to just throw a pair over overalls over a red shirt and sport a fake mustache? C'mon, man!
My niece is going to be a bumble bee:
As for me, I'm poor and I'll just be handing out candy for parents this year, so I'm redoing my Mario costume. Though if I can find it, I want to try and find a large raccoon tail and some matching ears to add to the costume, or maybe a set of small wings to put on the cap.

I did not have a costume, had 24 hour notice for the Halloween party I planned of attending was moved up a week. So as a big guy, I put on an orange camp shirt, and tucked it into my pants. When the host asked why I did not wear a costume, I said I did. "I'm the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown."

I have a party coming up this weekend. I am going as Alan from the Hangover. Yes, I bought the Human Tree T-shirt. My daughter's cabbage patch will serve as a fine "Carlos."
I'll be home handing out candy to sugar high little monsters and teenagers who are probably too old to be out trick or treating (though if their costumes are good... I cut them some slack lol).
I might get the chance to take my two year old out for a stroll in his Superman costume but we'll see what happens. He would probably having more fun handing out treats with me.
Hey Espy... you should just dress up as one of the dudes from GWAR...

Just got done carving my pumpkin for this year! (Special Thanks to Patrick for helping me get these onto my PC). I choose to do the Spitter from Left 4 Dead 2 this year.
Here's the unlit version. Sorry the shitty quality, but it's a shitty camera.
And here's the candle lit version, taken in a dark room.
And finally, here's a version with a flash so you can make out some of the details.

Light it with a green LED or glowstick?
I actually wanted to do green glowsticks, but I couldn't find them and Begger's Night is on Thursday. Best I could find are some crappy little glowstick bracelets and I'm not even sure what color they are, so I'm probably going to just use a candle.
