A lot of people find entertainment with dressing up in costumes and such for Halloween, and it's coming up, so i was wondering what y'all thought were costumes that were absolute no-nos for your children, or quite possibly yourself.

I'll toss out one given: Osama Bin Laden.

And my own, for my kids: No Bratz costumes. For myself: Dr. Frankenfurter.

If you opt to use links or something, think *discretion*.

Here's one that i'm seriously considering:

Anything that has to do with anime cosplay.

Do: Get wasted before going out. It keeps you warm.
Do not: Take my raisinets. Motherfucker, I beat a bitch if you do.

Cartman's costumes, South park episode "Pinkeye".

Would you go out as a Raisinette? There's people up here who go out as moose nugget swizzle stix.

Hmm, I've seen people go as Bin Laden, Kim Jong-Il and Saddam Hussein, and people didn't mind (and that wasn't Halloween, it was a costume ball done by my school in 11th Grade). You'd probably get into more trouble going as Hitler.

But that might be different in the US.

Admittedly, i posted from the U.S.-ian perspective.
And up here, it's a good way to get shot or close to it.

What does "cosplay" mean, forgive my ignorance.

And i don't think i'd want my kids dressed as such, but i might.

Cosplay is a contraction of "costume play". Grown up adults get together dressed up as characters from their favorite Anime. Most fail horribly. Witness this Naruto cosplay gone wrong.

The bald guy in the middle obviously doesn't belong, but it hardly makes that photo worse

Don't go dressed as a red-skinned Jesus with horns a pointy tail and a blood-drenched cross. It's just not worth the hassles. *nod*

Oh, and don't go as an anatomically correct 'Slim Goodbody'.

Instead, go as Ken of Barbie fame?

BOO!

That, again, is another mask/setup that could get you shot up here. Seriously.

Fuck, just looking at it makes me want to vomit.

What do you mean no Bin Laden? I suppose next you're going to tell me I shouldn't go as th croc hunter or WTC with a plane on a coat hanger wire flying at me. Where has the lulz and candy gone?

No clowns.

Score one for Lunatic Golfballs.

Well, if you'd said Steve Irwin with a spine through his ribcage, i'd say no, but Irwin alone, probably gonna happen.
As far as the WTC is concerned .... sounds like a hard one to be mobile in.

BOO!

I need that.

Mobility isn't a concern here, the lulz factor is what matters most with a costume like Irwin or WTC or Osama or Hitler. Rock on, Anon!

You got me. Real inspiration of fear now, which has of course quite a bit more to do with the origins of the "holy"-day in the first place.

It doesn't matter what you dress up as, as long as you get candy. Jeeze people, haloween is about candy, duh.

For a laugh, when I was 8 I went out dressed as a B-1B Lancer. No joke. No one got it but me, but it was funny and I got lots of candy.

Like 3 years ago, I went as a pizzaslice....I'm so not doing that again.

Someone go as a lolcat. Or possibly a lolrus. I, for one, am going as a lolpirate. I haven't decided on my caption yet though. Probably 'i can haz grog?' or 'i can haz booty?'

Couples costumes.

Where has the lulz and candy gone?I don't know what part of the US Brevious is from, but there will surely be Bin Laden costumes sold around me...and no shootings or even beatings will come to the buyers.

In my area (Michigan, USA) the older teens (and adults) go to parties, rather than "out begging," so the more possibly-outrageous ones aren't seen in the streets too often. But the costume shops always make sure to have that type of masks in stock, and I'm sure they do it for good reason--people buy 'em.

I can't imagine someone getting mad at you for wearing a Bin Laden costume specifically, after all, it's certainly not like he's above being mocked!

Well I defy you Trotsky! I cosplay at conventions all the time. I totally agree with you that there are some people who are not as suited to potraying thier favourite characters as others. This is why I only ever cosplay thin and lanky characters, who may or may not wear glasses. And I must say I do quite well. I'd post pics, but I fear for my safety from the imminent, overwhelming wave of NS lady fans who would obviously flock from across the globe to me upon posting of said handsome pics.

Eh, I'll just get out the white sheets once again...no! It's not that! It's a toga! A toga! Don't think Cartman costumes! Jeebuth!

I remember the dayus when I lived with my patents...

We'd get three bags of halloween candy and about seven trick-or-treaters. Guess who gets the rest! XD

Trotsky may be a bit off with his assumptions about cosplay...but you underestimate the scaring effects some misguided fools can give you.

...Need I bring up MAN-FAYE?!

If you do not know what I'm talking about, consider yourself lucky.

I did a search, and now my brain has one more scar in it than nessecary.....

Yeah, ya did. Somebody had to. Cosplay should never have left Japan - it's bad enough here as it is. :(

There are good cosplayers. It should be legal to beat bad cosplayers with a bat.

but we won't.

and you should do "i can haz booty" it's a double entendre.

*flies away*

Well I'm personally not gonna knock someone who does cosplay; I've done some at conventions. But SERIOUSLY! Don't friggin' EVAR follow man-faye's example. NO I DON'T CARE if you're doing it for parody purposes only, no parody is worth THAT brainfuck!

Basically, cosplay is not worth the risk. If you can do it well, then more power to you. But a very small number of people will appreciate your effort. Most won't care.

I doubt any cosplayer really cares about what people think, and the ones who do care typically are the ones who would "get it" (i.e nerds, geeks, dorks and general misfits). to be honest with you, unless you're entered into a contest of sorts (and believe me there are some costumes and their designers that belong in Hollywood), it's all about having fun.

I'm certain there are stranger hobbies.

Not that I'm suggesting one take up claymore and kilt and parade around town shouting "I am William Wallace!"

I thought cosplay started with the trekkies and Star Wars geeks. Cosplay doesn't have to be all Naruto and Bleach you know.

To the Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosplay)!

Apparently there were Cosplayers in 1939, which is fucking disturbing.

Well, as far as good costumes go, there was a dress up party a month or so ago which was themed around the letter H. So a girl went dressed as the Hiroshima bomb/mushroom cloud... I admit it was an awesome looking costume, but not the most tasteful, and not something i would have chosen.

There is nothing really tasteful that starts with H. In fact, the easiest things to think of that start wit H arn't tasteful at all.

In any case, it can become pretty horrifying pretty quickly. If you have the time and effort to do it well, then you can make fellow nerds doubletake. But if you can't, then well, you look like a goof.

I've seen bad Cosplayers, I've seen Good Cosplayers.



And I've seen Cosplayers so bad... they were good. :p

In my experience, good cosplay takes a year of planning and preparation, hundreds of dollars, at least three mental break downs (one of which must include the sewing machine thrown out the window) physical pain including body modification to suit the costume, accidental stabbings with pins and needles and the week of no sleep needed for the finishing touches before the final show, and at least an hour of make up. These people dress up for the art of it, for the challenge and for the remaking of what they see as beautiful or amazing.

Bad cosplay consists of half assed costumes and wash out hair dye and save for the kids who genuinely don't have the resources for anything better, it's mostly done for shits and giggles and shock value by the adults. Those people need to be beaten. Cosplay isn't all crappy bleach and naruto running around pouncing on people. Admittedly cosplay is hundreds of times better in Japan than in North America, but you'd have to be closer to the art to appriciate it. Same way I find it hard to appriciate the work of people who restore classic cars.

That said~ I -was- going to recycle an old cosplay costume but... seeing as we have kendo prctise on the 31st, and I've been told we will be cracking open piniatas with our shinai which is infinately more fun that wandeinrg around in the cold and the rain in costume, I'll be dressed as a kendo-ka this Halloween X3

I don't think there's any costumes I don't like. I found the Bin Laden masks a little immature and in bad taste, though, when they first come out, and I'm not a huge fan of store bought costumes. I like the origional ones best.

I have a friend who... with only a simple Gi, glasses and hanky... made THE MOST realistic Gemna (Ranma 1/2) ever.

most times, it's not fitting the body into the costume, but finding the costume for your body. ;)

*Still waiting for someone to pull of an accurate Hentai-Kamen.*

Hmm...

I actually see no reason to restrict anything costume wise...well, except for outfits that make them look "slutty" when they're not fully old enough to understand what wearing such an outfit means and/or are trying to wear it just because it's popular.

Otherwise, I'll let them go for anything. Hell, I had a Worf costume when I was a wee lad.

as for fat balding people, heck, the average samurai thug / sidekick is fat and can be balding (or a nice, modest wig will correct that.)

somebody should go as Fred Phelps

Last year a friend had a South Park inspired costume and went as Steve Irwin with a stingway sticking out of him.

I'm going this year with a friend. Each of us will be in Easter Bunny costumes and we will randomly hump.

We did that at Purdue Breakfast Club and the football game last week and got on the jumbotron 3 times. The 3rd and final time, we started to hump. We got 2 thrust in before they cut us off. Funny to do in front of 60,000 people. Needless to say we were drunk, but we really stood out in white costume amongst the "blackout" that is the Purdue student section.

As long as I get to wear ass less chaps, with nothing on underneath, then I am good :)

If I do end up doing something party-ish, I'm going as Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Before prison, of course.

Either that, or Dr. Frankenfurter.

A friend and I plan to go to a Halloween party as "Men in Black." It probably won't be obvious at all though, as we'll just be two giant white guys in black suits and sunglasses, possibly with supersoakers.

Oh God....I hate Bratz with a passion, "Yea let's teach our daughters, nieces, and cousins how to be spoiled little whores like Paris Hilton." Last Christmas, almost all the little girls in my family (extended Thankfully), got something that had to do with Bratzs. I could not tell you how hard it was for me to just round up all the Bratz stuff, take it outside with a can of gasoline, pour the can of gasoline on the stuff, and light it on fire.

... and the supersoakers filled with...

Empty, as they don't really work anymore.

Then buy new ones and fill them up with something really nasty and stinky! :p

MJ and I actually had a talk about this last Saturday. We were in Wal-Mart, and we saw these dresses in the children section that looks like they would be worn by well, prostitutes and hookers, for a lack of a better term. We both agree that if we ever had a daughter that we would never buy her stuff like this because we both believe that little girls should dress like little girls, not like "Bratz whores". If I ever do get married and have a daughter, I am going to make it painfully obvious to my family that if they buy her anything that is suggestive or anything that is like the "Bratz" stuff, I will take it back to the store. Why can't the little girls just be little girls, what is with this craze that seem to be going on to "sexualized" little kids?

bad Star Trek costumes - I mean the uniform ones - the male version end up looking like someone's old kiddy pj's - and underwear really, really needs to be worn underneath!! *flash back to very bad memory* happy thoughts, happy thoughts

many halloweens ago, me and the current bf were invited to a party - he wore a very bad Star Trek outfit made from really thin, tan coloured material that fit in all the wrong places and it looked bloody awful - i confess that i faked an illness so I wouldn't have to go :D call me shallow if you will but if you'd been there maybe you'd understand

having said that, years later went to another party with my darlin' - he went as Dr. Evil [with bald cap] and I went as Felicity Shagwell - found the most awesome wig - heaps of fun and the costumes were a hit
