I'd originally envisaged to go as a 21st Century Grim Reaper… but the lack of a black suit forced me to shift my perspective a little…
To that or one Mr. Eric Draven.
Note: Apologies about the photo quality… I wasn't in the position to be able to take them as I was of course the subject.
The costume (Which was adopted on the day of the party) comprises of a black T-shirt, black jeans, my ex-army boots, my black full length leather coat, my brother's fingerless gloves and some fairly cheap Halloween face paints.
Simple, but effective… and based on how well it went down I'll likely do Eric again in some years… but better.
The party itself was fun… I was immediately upstaged by the Witch King from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. I also encountered a blond Crow… so there was a sort of ‘two people wearing the same dress’ moment… and maybe a third, but he didn't have a coat. :wink:
There were Ghostbusters, plenty of Ghostbusters… must've been six or seven, and one Stay Puft.
Five people (two separate groups) dressed as Alex and co from A Clockwork Orange, Captain Jack Sparrow, the Phantom of the opera, one of the band members of Kiss and even Jack Skellington.
There was also more then enough men dressed in drag… but the less said about that the better.
The female BCUC lifeguards were fun, though. :wink:
But there were some really cool costumes there, more then I could hope to remember… fun was had by all but the big bloody (literally) blister I had on my right heel is proof of why you should always wear two pairs of socks while wearing ex-army boots.
Show's a source of good humour, just wish that chicks comment was true. :p
