Halloween is Hellafun

Every year is usually the same. I have great intentions of going out and grabbing all the right ingredients for an elaborate costume, but the weeks and weekends fly by, I go nowhere, and usually fall back on some crummy white trash-based outfit. That’s boring and really, it kind of depresses me. Can’t I just follow through for once?

A few months ago, Danica and I were chatting about Halloween costume ideas and she gave me a great idea. The premise is to be someone who doesn’t have a lot of money, but is extremely creative in making a costume. Resourceful, if you will. Furthermore, imagine an adult with a child’s mentality and them thinking that the costume that they just assembled is the most fantastic and realistic thing ever.

Easy, right? It shouldn’t take too long... I mean, all you gotta do is grab the right materials:

• Orange frisbee
• White mask
• Gold plastic hat
• Yellow gloves
• Yellow sweatshirt
• Yellow parachute pants
• White shoes
• Black t-shirt
• Speaker wire
• Metallic gold spray paint

This was a two-weekend process and easily the MOST involved costume I’ve ever created. But the results were incredible outstanding creepy.

Yes, I’m already thinking about next year.
