Halloween Madness
So we did a thing called “Trunk or Treat” this year where a group of people pull all their cars in a line and kids can go from car to car in the lot and do rapid pre-Halloween Trick or Treating.
My daughter went as a black “Kitty-girl,” my niece went as Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), and my nephew went as Spiderman.
Got to the endearing 77 year old who likes to compliment all the kids on their costumes…
Her: Oh what an adorable little puppy
Me: Actually she’s a-
Her: And look, here’s Cinderella
Me: Well, she’s really
Her: Oh, and look out, it’s Batman.
Me: Yes, they really do look nice.
0 for 3, but at least she’s handing out candy.
We also went to our yearly party. I dressed up as Zippers the Zombie Machine. Kind of a Terminatoresque zombie who has his outer flesh later peeled off. These are 3 (different, believe it or not) pics of the costume (note the glowing gears for heart on the first
)This costume took me several hours to make (spirit gum, liquid latex, painting/make up and detail work), yet, like an idiot, I didn’t get any pictures till much later in the night, ah well. Still was an awesome party and great fun for all!

Are you entering Scary or Handmade/Original?
And this is very impressive. Thank you for entering!
@Marica0701 - Well, I made it all, and it’s scary… so I’ll enter whichever one I could have a chance in
(answer: can it be both?)
these are awesome! I wanted to do this exact one as well. I liked it so much, maybe next year! I don’t know where to get the latex glue thingy here, but it definitely looks amazing on a guy! (I tried to get my brother to go for this one but he said it was more for a girl!)
Good luck!
Sorry, only one category :-
@Marica0701 - I’ll go with Scary I guess
You have an unfair advantage in that you deal with trauma all the time.
@Roadkill_Spatula - Yeah, but I’m terrible at making realistic non-bloodied flesh-together costumes, it all evens out
