My insane group of friends are dressing up like the gang from SCOOBY DOO and hitting up the madness that is Sixth Street (in downtown Austin)! cigamerisedi is Daphne and her fiance uncpenguin is Fred (they're both Gryffs here at HiH :D), we have our ridiculously tall friend Dan playing Shaggy, and we somehow convinced two guy friends to be Scooby and Scrappy Doo. I'm going to be, of course, Velma, and I just got the last part of my costume today (bright orange knee-highs XD). We're all making/compiling our own costumes rather than buying the licensed ones because they seem to be crappy quality. I think we're all going to look amazing. (And yes, we will have Scooby Snacks!)

In addition to trolling Austin, hitting up bars and checking out the awesome costumes, we're going to SIX FLAGS in Antonio that weekend for the end of Fright Fest. We're also talking about doing a Haunted Hay Ride and maybe even a downtown ghost tour! Halloween is one of our favourite holidays, as you can tell. (Last year we did the whole gang from Alice in Wonderland and hit up the White Ghost Shivers Ball, it was crazy.)

Kai//Slytherin

pics or it didn't happen! No, but seriously, that sounds so awesome. I wish I could get my friends to do something, but we're all extremely lazy, and now everyone is scattered across the country at college, so it's kinda... difficult.

Kea||Ravenclaw

I just got my dress and scarf in the mail! XD ZOMG, the dress is bluer than intended and a little baggy.. :C This may require alterations of some sort - SIGH.

But still. :) We will rock it out of the park!

Risu//Gryffindor

Dude, I'm scared. Omg.

Wanna know why?









Cause last year, my friends and I did Scooby Doo, and this year we're doing Alice in Wonderland. LMFAO. GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE. BUT SERIOUSLY, THAT'S CRAZY.

I SAY WE SWAP PICTURES. Do you have any of last year?

Ingrid//Gryffindor

Well, I'm pretty certain I'll never be able to top last years costume, so I'll post that and be done with it. Sorry it's a little large...



I love Halloween though! Favorite holiday, no doubt :D

ROOFL there was an Alex at the party I was at last year and I spazzed and had to take a pic with her. XD It's good to know that film's still well-loved...

Kai//Slytherin

I am taking my son to the Halloween festival about three miles from my house. I'm dressing up as a Coroner like I did last year. I have -much- better blood this year, though. Last year's was bought...I think the day I flew into NJ to see xenylamine. So nothing was tested before it was used. Cabe got the super awesome blood, which is what I have this year.

I'm leaving off the throat-cutting noose, though. I don't think it would be appreciated here. Besides, it's not oiled so it's scratchy. And I'm leaving off the black eye Cabe gave me. Just blood for me, thanks. I don't know if anyone will appreciate my outfit, it's a church function. Har har.




Jake//Slytherin

One of my favorite things about Halloween is the excuse to play with fake blood. XD

Amanda//Snake

I will be at Tribulation Trail for Halloween. It's something that our church does every year during October. I guess it's kind of like a Christian haunted house. It's a trail through the woods that shows what will happen during the tribulation in Revelation of the Bible.

Geez, that's intense.

Amanda//Snake

I need costume ideas, HiH! I've been some fun things in the past, Leela for example, and I kind of want something spectacular this year.

OMGGGG MARRY ME AND HAVE MY SPACEBABIEESSSS

I tried so hard to get my sister to name her kitten Leela and she REFUSED. It's on my list for the next girl pet I get. (I kind of want a female doberman named Leela. OMG SO CUUUTE.)

Ahem, your costume is awesome. XDDD

Have you considered going as Sarah Palin? ;D All you need is a power suit (preferably pink, but), glasses and your hair in a bun. And it's guaranteed to be the scariest thing ever.

Dressing up with my fiancee as either: Harley Quinn, with my honeypot being Joker; orrr, a cheerleader, with my honeypot being the jock who screws me in the backseat at Lovers' Point. There will be partying, and I will probably get laid. >D

Costumes, partying, getting laid...what more could you possibly need?

Amanda//Snake

I am going to the Village Halloween Parade in NYC. I've heard its an unforgettable crazy experience and I've always wanted to go. Now that I'm in NY, I can! My friend from home is coming to visit, and I'm trying to convince her to dress up as Captain Hammer or Penny to my Dr. Horrible. She's not as enthusiastic about the idea as I however, so costume plans are currently unknown.

Ah, Captain Hammer! That would be awesome.

Lisa//Ravenclaw

i bought my black lab a witch costum :]
so im, staying home and giving out candy

jukeboxjamie11// hufflepuff

I think I'm working on Halloween this year so I can't even give out candy :(

Amanda//Slytherin

LET'S SEE.

So.. obvs.. you know and have commented that I will be Daphne with you, darling, as Velma - BECAUSE YOU CALLED IT, VELMA IS SO MUCH COOLER. XP And muh intended uncpenguin as Fred. So v. exciting.

But let's look back at past years! :D

Your choice last year of Alice in Wonderland - me and Mike as Alice and Hatter (http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v152/247/105/810365/n810365_37726652_7775.jpg) annnd.. I'd need your permission for Queen of Hearts pics to be posted. XP

Our choice two years ago of vampires because I wanted to drink red wine all night! XD Me and Mike again (http://photos-h.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v51/207/106/11812964/n11812964_31821895_2368.jpg).

Otherwise I was Harry Potter several years in a row. ;P

Love the Alice/Mad Hatter costumes!

Which reminds me, I also LOVE your LJ layout. I started obsessing over Alice & Wonderland when I was like 3. Are you familiar with made for TV version that came out in like '86? It had Sammy Davis Jr. as the Caterpillar and loads of other old school celebs. It was the first version of Alice & Wonderland that I ever saw.

/rambling

la_conquistador suggested I should be House for Halloween.

It might be easier to pull off than being Lisa Cuddy XD

oh wait. I don't do Halloween. -is bored of the holiday-

*bows before your glory* Thank you, oh Mighty One, for using my suggestion.

That's the most hilarious idea!

Just take care people won't 'sip and run' *mwaha*

I'm old so I'll be taking my two-year-old daughter Waverly trick-or-treating. She has a spider costume, complete with extra arms that move when she moves her arms. It's too cute. :D

Camden//Slytherin

Aww, that does sound cute. :D

More than likely, I'm going to be running around my school as a Fallen Jedi, complete with the Obi Wan Kenobi-style shirt & pants, a monk's robe, & Darth Vader's style of saber. [Anyone here have a Master Replicas lightsaber, by any chance? Asking out of curiosity~]

Rather an odd mix, but still fun. :)

My friend is hosting a small party and a bunch of us are going as the characters from Clue. I'm going as Mrs. Peacock – I'm so excited! I found the best over-the-top, blue sequin-y dress from Savers.

Lisa//Ravenclaw

THIS IS THE GREATEST GROUP COSTUME IDEA I HAVE EVER HEARD. SERIOUSLY. WILL YOU MARRY ME?

Kai//Slytherin

I am sitting in my room, like the droll girl I am, and watching scary movies with the boyfriend. Because I'm awesome and live in Savannah but don't bother to do anything Halloween/ghosty related XD.

You two could dress up to watch movies!

I have to work on Halloween, and since I'm not going out to any parties or events at night, I decided to dress up for work as Mary Ann (the "Gilligan's Island" one). It's not a scary costume, but I won't be trick or treating, so I think that's okay.

I'm not sure whether there *are* a lot of Halloween parties in Germany--and certainly not in the town where I live...

Sally of Hufflepuff

I'm stuck at work as per usual. Really stuck this year since it's end of quarter. I won't even get to see my son go off trick or treating. Here's a pic of him when he was 3, he's 6 now.

Nina//Ravenclaw

This really kills me as I adore Halloween but it's not celebrated over here and my friends are boring and don't want to do anything. So I am buying a pumpkin, carving it, filling it with candles and leaving it in my porch. Then I am going to watch Horror movies all night ^^
Steph//Hufflepuff

Halloween is the best holiday EVER. Okay, so, my friends and I are going to be Alice in Wonderland-themed. I'm going to be the caterpillar -- and if my school (since Halloween lands on a Friday) says anything ABOUT MY HOOKAHNESS, I will complain and fight this because it's just Hookah and if they think that's inappropriate, then that's THEIR problem. Oh, and someone was a cigarette last year, SO HMMPH. >:/

/rant

But I'm excited. I might convince my friends to go to West Hollywood on Friday. So far, I've gone to Queen Mary Shipwreck (mazes in the infamous haunted Queen Mary ship) and Knott's Scary Farm last night. Next Friday, I'm going to Universal's Horror Night! :D

I'M EXCITED.
