Wasn't planning on it. But if I was I would most likely be Altair from assassins creed.

Going as a pirate (yes, i know, very unoriginal). Last year my gf and I went as Mario and Princess Peach, that was pretty fun.

Last weekend I went to a Halloween party where the theme was dead celebrities. I went as Kurt Cobain. Complete with bloody mouth and toy shotgun. :shock:

Good times

That sounds like a really fun Halloween party theme!

Personally I hate Halloween. Not sure why but I've never really enjoyed it and it's right to be in a list of holidays is rather questionable.

Uhh a group of friends, my pastor and I (Yeah, I know it's strange, but my pastor is hardly a pastor... he's just insane...) will be going door to door jacking candy. It's in a real bad part of town filled with old people, and they just leave buckets of candy out with a sign that says: "Be Generous, Only Take One" or crap like that... we don't follow the signs though =D.... So we'll take the whole bucket likely... then head back to church to play Rock Band...

Really? Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. I love dressing up and there's definitely no better holiday for it. I've gone as a clown, a lobster, Princess Jasmine (from Aladdin), Beetlejuice, a renaissance witch, Aeris (from FFVII), a pirate, Death (from the Sandman comics), a roller-skating zombie, and a kitty cat.

Don't have a costume planned for this year though. It looks like if I'm going to dress up as anything, it will be something made up at the last second or reused from last year.

Pumpkin carving and corn mazes tomorrow though! Yay :-)

TBH, I wasn't planning on being anything this year :(

Just getting a sugar high with my friends then going home to play music and watching scary movies. ):

Going to a haunted house today I guess though...
