Hocus Pocus is really the only reason I look forward to Halloween.






And "leftover" candy. It's not leftover. I kept it for myself.

You get me. This Halloween. You, me, lots of candy and alcohol. Let's uncelebrate Halloween. #thatsathing #Immakingitathing 

[ceejay]

H and I don't really do much for Halloween. We hand out candy to the neighborhood kids, and then I will hit up the after Halloween clearance racks to get more candy for me.

We do dress up (in the most minimal way possible) to get cheap "booritos" at Chipotle every Halloween. Last year, we printed out famous paintings and safety pinned them to our shirts and went as "works of art." It was possibly the laziest costume ever.

I hated Halloween growing up because I was sick every.freaking.year.

Now I don't mind it. We dress up if we have a party to go to.

We've been Mario and Princess Peach one year and The Joker and Harley Quinn another.

HOW DID MY THREAD TURN INTO A HALLOWEEN-BASHING-BASH?

For those of who saying bad things about Halloween I say to you:

[titania]

I love Halloween! One year H and I went as Rogue and Gambit - that was probably my favorite. Last year we did an animal rescue walk and H and our dog dressed up as bananas. They won best couple . It was great.

PDQ. This was me last year.

*Poof*

[GOmamab15]

I love Halloween. Last year we had a little over 100 trick or treaters. No left over candy.

[GOmamab15]

I think this year we will be much less generous with the candy and hopefully it will last longer. I don't know what I'm planning to be. I love the Mario and Peach idea. My H would adore that. I really like to do group costumes at work but this year it's on a Saturday so I bet we won't dress up at work.

We always dress up and enter costume contests which we have won a few times. My favorite was dressing up as Jake Sulley and Netriri from Avatar

I think I was 26 in this picture. So I guess this was almost 6 years ago. We marched in the NYC Village parade. It was so much fun.

That should have been a FFFC.

Thanks to this thread I've been looking at way too many costume ideas. It's hard to come up with couple costumes. Although, if I was still in college, I would totally want to get a group to go as the Funworm from Oglaf.

You are bee-utiful.






I had to.

[lgraceh]

I love making costume. H and I were starbucks 2 years ago.

[cnf2013]

I love Halloween! Our street gets slammed with trick or treaters, so we generally hang at home and hand out candy, of which we eat a significant amount.

As for costumes, this year our plan was to go as Burt Maclin and Janet Snakehole, but I cannot pass up my extra round status this year, so H is on his own. I have no idea what I plan to do yet, but I need to figure something out.

[singingsea]

I think my favorite costume was when H went as the 11th Doctor and I went as the Tardis.

I've also been Jessica from True Blood, a zombie and H and I went as Fred and Daphne from Scooby Doo.

Hands down best costume is when H and his friend went as the Lonely Island dick in a box guys. Behold the greatness.



Don't quote will poof.

No clue what I'm doing this year.

[mosdub]

You gals (and your SO's) are all amazing!

DH and I wanted to go as Fantasy Football last year. I was dressed as a football player and he was dressed as a wizard. His wizard looked more like Jesus, though, so we scratched that and I ran all over town on Halloween to find him a refs shirt, a whistle, and a penalty flag. I ended up having to make the flag, but I wore a Packers jersey so we went as a packers player and a replacement referee.

In the past, we've done Leonidas and his wife (I can't remember her name right now- the dress was killer), Snooki and Ronnie, and other sports things when we needed quick costumes for college parties.

Here's our Snooki and Ronnie back in 2010. Everyone loved it. (DNQ)


I'm on mobile, sorry if it's huge.

Lol this reminds me of catinatophat.

I always misread her screen name as "catino phat"

[ohinvrtedworld]

So many great ideas!! Thank you guys for the inspiration!

I'm insanely jealous of my brother. He and all his friends are going as the Belchers from Bob's Burgers.

[PepperPottsJ]

Last year I was Sully and my niece was Mike W. MH is pretty good about dressing up, 1 year he was a gangster and I was a cigarette girl, football player and cheerleader, my one suggestion would be to look at juniors costumes, which was what I did with sully last year to keep the price reasonable. If MH gets his way I'll probably be a outlet and he will be a plug. Am all about the cute costumes and he prefers funny...

Damn trick or treaters interrupting my martini and "Hocus Pocus" with their candy begging.

FFFC: I have never seen Hocus Pocus. And last year was the first year I gave out candy. 

I'm on a roll tonight with my UOs and FFFCs. #makingupforlosttime

This is the lock screen on my phone. I love Hocus Pocus.

Hello ladies. I haven't been around for awhile but feel this PSA is necessary.

[jwinct]

I like being able to wear normal clothes, so this was the best costume EVER (last year).



In 2013, we went to Disney and I was a beer maid and DH was a beer guy. I did love these costumes, too. (DD#1 was a witch and DD#2 was Princess Aurora.)  Don't mind the crooked apron... and one of the kids took this picture. Not bad!

[mill23]

This thread made me so happy! Halloween is the best.

I have a few ideas but never have anywhere to go. I'm hoping this year since it's on a Saturday someone will have a party. The last time I loved my costume my girlfriends and I all went as The Golden Girls. We bought sweaters at the thrift shops and powdered our hair. It was awesome.

I'm super tempted to try and make one of these for myself (though, yes, the patterns are for kids) since I think it would be cute and relatively easy:
