I'm not a fan of off-the-rack Halloween costumes.... most of them suck.

That said, a woman can go a long way dressed slutty! Especailly on Halloween!

This one suits just fine. All I need is a bottle of cheap vodka - as it's me on a hangover morning.

Abominable snow-chick all the way!

As for me, I work in a restaurant, so I guess I'll be dressed up as a waiter for Halloween.

Oh, ClintonHammer, I know you don't like off-the-rack, but I'd suggest the military one for you. Cute dress but you still get to wear bullets.

I am always something scary. This year I want to be The Red Baron riddled with bullets and with some grey face paint but I kind of procrastinated buying most of the things I need so I'm just going to be what I was last year- Ash. Ash from Evil Dead covered in blood and deadite innards. And again I'm sure most people will think I'm a zombie.

If you have to be something sexy, I say be the abominable snow-woman because that's the sexiest. But you could wear some scary white monster gloves with claws and maybe put in some fangs to make it also scary. Just an idea.

Halloween always looks like fun. They don't really do it in Australia. Some people do, but it's not that popular. I used to a lot when I was little. I dressed up as Dorothy one year, the Wicked Witch the next and the year after that, Willie Scott (mind you, I was around 6, 7 and 8 years of age when I did Halloween). However, I gave it up when my aunt died around Halloween, about 6 years ago. A friend of mine is having a keg party this Friday but wasn't bothered to make it a Halloween party. Now I've ended up working on getting footage of a film festival's premiere on that night!

I'll give you a hint. It's from National Lampoon's Animal House and the character yells "NO PRISONERS" while in this costume.

So true. Those costumes are pretty tame to some others I've seen.

Gustav: the dead Red Baron sounds very cool!

I'm going as Jack Bauer from 24 this year. I'll have his badge, a gun, and just yell "DAMMIT!" a lot.

The BIG party I usually go to has been postponed (There's a baby on the way, and one of the household dogs is dealign with a bad heart valve)

So, I might just dust down my old Green Man costume from a few years ago, and wear that while handing out treats to the kiddies

Wow, Violet, sounds great. I would like to see some photos of that one.
(Just for comparison with the actual movie, of course! )

I once threw together a Lara costume too.

Violet, pics would be cool

As for myself, I'm not dressing up as such, but I am working on some Indy with cobwebs gear. When I'm done, I'll post the pics here.

Turns out I probably gotta gig that night, so I guess I gotta dust down some costume or other... That's one of the joys of being a Community Theatre junkie.... access to, both at home and at the theatre, a ton of costuming stuff.....

Well, I didn't take any photos at the time, however I still can put something together. It's more copying the video game version's costume rather than Angelina Jolie. Now all of you have got me blushing.

Violet... did you know that Angie had to wear a girdle in her costume? It's such a comforting thought...especially for those days when jeans just don't fit right.... Spanx anyone?

Really? I didn't know that, Kezia.

@ Canyon: I owe you a drink. And I want to see your Lara costume.
