Who's dressing up for Halloween? What's your costume? Or what is your favorite costume of times past? (hexbear.net)

A friend and I are going to be these lil guys. Costume's are almost done, they are silly as hell.

The last costume I did years ago was somewhat-sexy bowser and it ruled. I somehow came across a plastic Ninja Turtles shell with straps that probably came from a costume at a thrift store. I spray painted it and made the spikes and everything, I still have that thing because it came out so good

Cute! The town I moved to seems not to be very holiday-oriented and it kinda sucks. I LOVE walking around looking at decorations, so it's cool that y'all get really into it.

Story time: I remember one Halloween I was one of the spys from Spy vs Spy. I was in like 4th or 5th grade and I had a big mask that limited my vision and a trench coat. Approached this house where at the top of the driveway there was a witch passing out candy behind a table,with a prop fridge that was open with fake brains and stuff inside, and along the driveway were full sized mannuquins of Freddy/Jason/Michael. My friends and I went up to get candy, and as we walked away one monster jumped out from behind the fridge door and the rest of the "mannequins" ended up being actors that chased us down the driveway. I couldn't see and my trenchcoat was rubbing on my pants so it sounded like footsteps behind me lol. I booked it to the end of the block before realizing they weren't chasing me

Hahaha! That rules! I wish I had a bunch of pals to play mannequin with. That's a lovely Halloween memory, I'll be happy if I can make some for the kids who come visit us.

Hopefully your town gets some Halloween cheer soon! ๐ŸŽƒ
