Your photos reminded me just how much I adore Halloween. Some friends and I are being various 80's pop culture icons this year. My Madonna costume is nearing completion.

Oh, and Matt was Tobias from Arrested Development in '05. Possibly the greatest TV show of the decade - it's such a shame they cancelled it.

My friends and I took a trip to Halloween Express to look for costumes and found the Guy Fawkes masks and wore them all around the store looking for our actual costumes. Nothing is more surreal than seeing us in our Alice in Wonderland character costumes with those masks on.

Have fun bringing chaos and anarchy to the masses.

I think you just like painting your face white.
But thats just my theory.

I feel like a jerk because I am going, and all these lovely commenters thus far are not.

Oppppps & going as a character from a real good movie is pretty much the best idea ever.
Not like I am or anything.
Im such a giveaway.

I can't wait!
I heard that everyone going should be getting a mask as well, and if they do, it should truly be amazing.
I know I'm ready, almost.
See you this weekend!

i still have pictures up of you from last year on my myspace. i also liked you purple workwoman's outfit, very nice. the v for vendetta reference reminded me of my approaching birthday (which is actually the fifth of november) that last part was irrelevant. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! i can't wait to see what you will be, i can't wait for HelL3!!!!!

Sweden sucks ass cuz we don't celebrate Halloween here. Only my friends and I do it (well, and all the five year olds), I wish more would though.
I still haven't figured out what to be this year.

What it must be like inside that head of yours. I can't wait to see how you guys execute this.

If I was still in public school and my parents weren't paying several thousand dollars for my education I'd be there in a heartbeat.

To everyone that is lucky enough to attend, have fun!

Okay. I give up. The out fits circa 2006 are astounding, and I'm pretty sure the fashion mavens retarding our school bulletin boards with pleas for "black and white attire" would weep at this photo. The print button is aching under my finger, and I'm wonder what the moral choice would be in this situation.

Fight or flight...fight or flight...

In any case, this years coustumes, I assume will far over-power last years. The theme? "Hell-engulfs-California-I'm-On-Fire."

I'm gung-ho on you guys performing surrounded by(or at least resembling fire. I'd like to see just how many people would follow "The Matches are on fire" reference.

God, no words for the excitement.

As much as I love all of the costumes, I think I said "Woah" like, five times when I first saw them...I think the Courtney love one might just take the cake. I'm still laughing about that...

I still have yet to see that movie though, I need to catch up on things....tonight.

You had best have face paint instead of masks, that would be far more interesting.

I really wanted to go as kiwi, bit other people have other ideas which are pobably far better. I'll / you'll / we'll find out soon enough.

Godspeed.

Haha, awesome!
I hate that I live in the UK.
Here's hoping for lots of pictures this year.
Oh and, in the 2006 picture, is Matt wearing the jacket you wore in 2005?

This year, my costume looks very much like yours did last year; I'm going to an Alice in Wonderland themed party as Louis Carol.

Why, WHY do Australians not celebrate halloween??? It would be my favourite holiday :)

Very creative costuming ideas, I like the black and white movie stars!! That body paint could not have been pleasant to scrub off.

I always come up with some elaborate plan for a group costume but no one ever follows through with it. I'm sure it will work out better for you.
I'm going to be an idea this year. How, you ask? Well I'm going to take a wire hanger and shape it so that it fits around my head. Then I shall place a lightbulb at the top of it and WALLA!!! I am an idea!

btw: this was slightly inspired by a video I found of shawn drunkenly swinging a sword while pretending to be a teenage mutant ninja turtle on youtube.

Humm somebody likes white face paint. I like the black and white movie stars idea. I think its lovely. I think you look like that man that ties Penelope up to the train tracks. The Perils of Penelope?

Something like that.
