It's that time of year, again!  What's everyone got planned for this most spirited time of year?  Personally, I wanna dress as this take on Zelda.

I probably ought to try to think of something clever. Meh. I'm not in the mood for Halloween, for some reason.

Rex is going as Captain America. I think he mainly wanted the shield! I am dressing up as a witch for my library's annual Halloween brunch. Costumes are always encouraged, but I've never fully dressed up before. I'm excited!

I usually dress as a witch.  My old black choir dress is perfect for the task.

I don't see myself going as anything this year but if I do it will be as DEATH from Terry Pratchett

The last two years I went as the 11th doctor. This year I am going to mix things up and go as the 10th! :)

I'm making The Flash costume for our 6 year old grandson. Halloween I will be working backstage at Theatre Cedar Rapids "Jesus Christ, Superstar" I will be in dark clothes, so I will be invisible.

I am not a fan of dressing up for Halloween. The last time I remember doing it was over 20 years ago. I do have a Halloween tradition though, which is pizza and Buffy the Vampire Slayer - in my PJs.

I just recently bought a Harry Pottet Halloween Costume from www.partycity.com and also his Wand, his eye glasses, broom stick, scarf & tie. Halloween has alway been my favourite time of the year since it is the one day of the year where you get a chance to be someone else and of course all the delicious Halloween Candy to eat. My Halloween Tradition is watching the first Halloween movie with Jamie Lee Curtis or maybe one of the Halloween movies. I own the first 5 Halloween movies even though they called Halloween 3: Season of the Witch that doesn't have anything to do with the first two Halloween movies with Jamie Lee Curtis.

I saw Potted Potter last week and all the kids in the audience had on their Hogwart's gear - scarves, capes, wands, hats and glasses. Very cute.

Thanks! I had been alternating between the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella and Professor Sprout for the past few years, but decided it was time to add a new costume to the rotation.

We had an early Halloween party to go to a couple of weeks ago, and this is what we wore. The sad part was how very little I actually had to do to look like the character.... :-)

#16: That took me a second, but once I saw it I didn't know how I missed it!

Foggi and Amy: Omigosh, those are great costumes!

I don't know if I'm dressing up this year. I have a few ThinkGeek t-shirts I can throw on for an instant costume, maybe I'll put on one of those. I can be either a member of the original Star Trek crew or a Blue Lantern. :o)
