Matt's so Matt-like, even in costume. You guys look great.
Even though the Dark Knight was an amazing movie...
Spiderman>Batman. Sorry.
haha You scared the shit out of me! I wasn't aware that that picture would pop up like that! haha You make an awesome joker, and the rest of te guys look amazing... as usual!
That is all kinds of win.
Okay, I know this isn't the point, but the close up on Dylans face...well... behind him are tortilla chips, salsa, MUSTARD and MIRACLE WHIP?! What the hell??
What a Halloween...
In any event, happy election day fellow Obama supporters!! :]
a team of batman characters just makes halloween all the better.
me and jon had the same costume!
except i wore briefs and produced a bulge for the night.
i dont think jon needed that.
you guys should be put in the running/win the award for best costumes a band has ever had.
Thank you Shawn...
I will now have nightmares because of the last pictures. Sweet costumes though.
Awesome...
Thanks, Shawn. I wish I had been able to attend. I hope you all had fun on Halloween (and leading up to it, working on your costumes).
AHAHAH I didn't notice the Miracle Whip!
This is the BEST group costume ever!!!
And of course, Matt Whalen is STILL Matt Whalen, even in costume. :)
Oh yeah, these pictures are made of awesome! As in you guys. :)
For some strange reason "Oh my Doe is a little bit psycho" popped into my head with the first and last picture.
I honestly need to get Pt1 out of my head and back into my heart.
I wish every day was Halloween.
Ah! *taps head*
Jon was Batman. Totally forgot that, but hey, I got 3 out of 4, surely that deserves some sort of medal.....
anyway, on another topic;
HOW awesome are those little Warheads sweets?
I recieved some when I got a Heartcore shirt in the mail this morning... being from the UK, I haven't had these before, apparently they're really sour.. yeahhh, suuuuure they are. It's either they're losing their power or I just have lost taste on the tip of my tongue... woo.
I can take two at a time, nom nom nom.
I love you guys.
I love you guys.
Awesome photos. And you all look great. I kept getting awfully distracted buy the lines of text in-between the pictures, however. In the end I had to look at the photos once more as I realized, when I had reached the end of them, that I really hadn’t been paying attention – I had only a vague idea what I had been looking at. So I had to start all over. And I was glad I did because what a shame to not pay attention to such terrific photos.
hahahahahahaha
you guys get more amazing everyday
tomorrow almost seems impossible
but that's what i've been saying everyday since i started listening to you haha 4DAYS AAAAAAH =]]]]]]
Pretty sure Matt's is my favorite costume, so adorable! Ahaha, he could defeat villains with his cuteness.
and I love warheads, ahahah. When I was little I hated the sour part so I would soak it in water to get to the sweet part. Yeah, I was pretty much just a big wussy. Still am, hey oh!
Matt makes me happy.
And the rest of you are pretty kickass with the organizational skills you have here.
Awww, Amber <3
They're not that sour at all...
unless my taste is decomposing.
Maybe that explains my recent adoration towards Michael Bolton.
Question of the ages; If you walk backwards with flip flops on, would they be called flop flips?
I need to blog some one liners, so bad.
Okay, Michael Bolton is a legend, and lives fifteen minutes away from me. Hercules soundtrack? Anyone?
Oh my dear Kaye, I was joking ;P
Anyone seen the movie Snow Dogs a few years ago?
Blue cheese cookies and Michael Bolton cd's... nom.
Not saying that I eat CD's...
...I like this more.
I'm not gunna speak for everyone, but I know I had fun. Even though the cookies were disappointing, but thats Texas.
Where are the pictures of the deadbeat Dad?
oh man. You guys look so rad ah-hahaha.
and kryssi...s'if you have never had warheads! My brothers and I used to make bets at how many we could put in our mouth before having to spit them out. I think my record was 4.
Suzi! :P
Haha, we don't sell those things over here. We have this other crap that I can't remember right now, but that was sour than the warheads... I need to get someone to mail me a bag or two of 'em. Warheads that is.
Ahaha Kryssi, I was too. XD
Warheads... no good. Fireballs, however...
if i bumped into Shawn as the Joker in a darkened, or perhaps even well lit alley, i would be terrified. which is what i think makes for an excellent halloween costume.
Matt looked really awesome though, and was ttly my favourite.
Hahaha, awwww. Kaye, I was kinda hoping you were semi-serious about that. Hercules was a great movie, still is. At least there was no Elton John in that score.
OH OH OH! I think that sour shit we have over here, well, one of them, is called Toxic Waste.
ooh, and props to whoever did the make up.
it was neat.
Haha. The costumes are rad.
Shawn, I believe yours rivals the kid at my school who came completely decked out as the Joker. Purple coat, greasy hair/make up and all.
Anyways, looks like a lot more fun than my Halloween.
speaking of one liners..
A butt walks into a bar...farts...and blames it on Kryssi.

I withdraw my last statement.
ah.
You're terrifying in that last picture.
Matt Whalen is the most amazing human being on the face of the planet.
End of story.
...I'm glad you posted this.
Obama won! I know that has nothing to do with this post, but I know the matches and tons of others (including myself) support him, so YAAAAAAAAAY! :DDDDDDDD
I just have to mention that We Are One is probably the best victory song to celebrate OUR NEW PRESIDENT!
Yes! We Are One is a perfect celebatory song. I'm so happy Obama won.
I concur!
XD We had an enormous party, with posters with the lyrics from We Are One on them. It was glorious.
Hey! this doesnt have anything to do with the post, but i just wanted to say thank you for peeking your head out of the van and talking to me for a few minutes. it was a great way to end an awesome show! =D
-Michelle
this is awesome :)
Fuck Obama, Fuck McCain.
Our whole fucking world is going down the drain...
See you in hell.... 2012.
Why so serious? nyahahahahahahhahahhahahahhah *evil joker laugh*
Can I request for someone to be Penguin next halloween? You know you want to..
Not A penguin.....THE Penguin

Jeez Louise,
Nothing is going to happen on 2012.
Stop reading the gullible 'facts.'
The Mayans thought that the world would end at the end of the 52nd year... and guess what? It didn't. They kept thinking it would end on the last day of every 52nd cycle... the only way this World is going to end is through the sun burning up in millions of years time, or another few atomic bombs dropping.
What could they possibly expect? They weren't so magical at all, this isn't an old novel of Harry Potter, after all.
Anyway, on very good grounds, yay for Obama! Though, the McCain'ers are getting really retarded about this all, honestly. Who wanted another term with a War head? Bush's ass puppet is way too old anyway.
great great great costumes.

those made me laugh especially the ones of Matt! anyway relle good makeup i bet u scared the many children that were around. but preety awesome coustumes. i especially love Shawns skirt i thnk it relle does alot for him lol!
so some crazy shit happened this morning, and I thought I'd share since I'm guessing a lot who read HB may appreciate it.
I get into college early today and sit down in the computer suite with a tasty cheese and tomato toasted foccacia. Sprawled on the couch and munching away, something catches my eye from the wall of glass in front of me.
There stands a tall, lanky fellow, dressed in a dirty brown coloured T, white hot shorts and a purple coat and donning a Joker-esque lipstick smile. He stares for a moment, waves then menacingly plods off - his combat boot laces training behind him.
I tell you what, I'm glad you need a swipe card to access this room, or I might be chained to a barrel of gasoline right now.
*trailing...
Oh my god, S, that is horrifying. And also pretty damn hilarious. There were a bunch of Jokers wandering around here around Halloween as well, but nothing that straight-up creepy.
Shawn you even scared me in person . . . When i was talking to you i was still creeped out! You are a damn good joker!
You all are amazing. Dylan's Two-face makeup was pretty awesome. And Shawn, you're perfectly scary as hell. <3
And fuck whoever said Superman is better than Batman. They both have crappy villains and too little character development.
oh the pinky =]
I love how on Election Day so many of you were concerned with what The Matches wore on Halloween than who was going to be the next President.
the costumes are VERY important.
How would i be able to sleep NOT KNOWING!?!?!?

... Wow, you're assuming a lot, O Anonymous One. I'm glad you knew all of our innermost thoughts on election day. That is a serious talent.
:O!
I Wish I had such memorable Halloweenie Pictures!!
:D!
Be sure to be on the lookout of this happening in Dylans local town of Nashville, I think this is how Shawn pulled him in;

=D You win
I desperately wish i could have gone to this show!
Anyone know a cure for a bad head?
Weird place to come to, but my head's been all horrid lately :(
Bad head like mental space or like headaches?
Hey! Awesome pics! speaking of which (Except not at all) great job Wednesday! My boyfriend and I saw you guys at the HOB and were just totally blown away. I've seen you all in concert...3 times? And I sort of got my boyfriend into your music (Or addicted, because he was pretty much going through withdrawal Thursday) But I digress, break a leg with the rest of thre tour!
Bad head as in sometimes I get a weird feeling, it's hard to describe. Sometimes I get a 'spaced out' feeling for a second... but lately i've had a slight tightening in the left side of my head.
Weird how I'm asking for medical advice on a blog, haha.
Go see a doctor, there could be something going on with you neurologicaly that needs treatment
Yeah, that would be a good idea. Last time my head was acting funny, I was going to go the docs, but it stopped. Now I have to waitl until Tuesday to see one.
I just need to stop being surprised at the topics that come up in the comments. XD
Coming soon to a comment thread near you: the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow.
African or European swallow?
It’s a simple question of weight ratios!
Speaking of swallows, one broke into the warehouse at work, poor thing, it was tiny.
Anyway, who here watched Shawn's latest video on YouTube?
And who here is daring enough (also clinically insane) to actually cut open their pinky, get it stitched up, to get it de-stiched by him?
Mental.
omnomnom sexy nurse.
lmfao.
just saw the video with the stiches crazy man!!!! he seems very certified with all his tools and preping it
Wait, what? I can't find it. Someone link?

Also Shawn, a friend and I have been debating over the ring, very clearly seen in this video.
Is it made from an old fork? Like a fork you eat with? I'm just interested is all...I have a friend who makes crazy earrings out of the spokes of forks.
Thanks!
Also, HOLY FLYING SHITMONKEYS, WHAT THE HELL. I was giggling until you whipped out a razorblade. They didn't give you the shmancy self-dissolving stitches? For shame, Tulsa.
Shawn's a bit too clever with that razorblade than most people should...
K
I so would've laughed if he'd cut his finger again...
Sorry, Shawn.
Thanks for wearing that shirt on Saturday night ;P
