Real men do not dress up for Halloween. Plain and simple. Halloween is for kids. If forced by your significant other, I would say the only acceptable costume I've seen mentioned so far is Don Draper. At least you won't look like an idiot.
Dr. Gregory House. Got the House Flame Cane , a blazer, sneakers and a prescription bottle to flesh out the costume.
Kurt Cobain. Got a grungy blond wig and I'm breaking out the flannel, cardigan, ripped jeans, and converse shoes. I even found this pair of sunglasses:http://www.anysunglasses.com/AS636-B.html
Max from Where the Wild Things Are. Family friendly, and very comfy Product Name
This year, I'll be donning the suit and bow tie, laying down the law with my homemade Golden Gun, and sipping martinis...shaken, not stirred.
The Kanye/Taylor idea is brilliant though. You wouldn't even need to bring your own gal. You could simply interrupt any blonde that's busy chatting with her friends.
I am going as a burrito, and wrapping myself in silvery wonder, for this reason alone.
I'm wearing a red Snuggie I found at Costco. I'm putting a TV remote and a phone in the pockets so I can be totally pathetic and strange.
don draper (and betty draper for your date)
reasons:
* you'll look good
* you probably have the costume in your closet already
but the best reason:
* carrying around a bottle of scotch as a prop
Billy Mays.
Blue oxford, khakis, tennis shoes, dying my hair and beard black, carrying some Mighty Putty.
My wife is going as a Zorbeez.
Actually forget what I said before, I'm gonna be a werewolf Sherlock Holmes
Green Man...from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Can't wait to throw a volleyball at strangers!
Ferris Bueller.
- White t-shirt
- Leopard print vest (find on ebay)
- Wayfarer sunglasses
- Grey slacks
- White shoes
- 80's style jacket- I found a member's only on ebay
People who get it will love your costume.
Great ideas! So I thought I'd also answer my question.
Going as Maverick from Top Gun, my buddy is going as my wingman (flight suits, etc). Possibly doing it as Barney and Ted from How I Met Your Mother (flight-SUIT UP!).
Another night I'm also going as Max from Where the Wild Things Are, though I think i'll stick to how he looked in the books, and a DIY costume.
A droog from clockwork orange.
Cricket whites, black bowler hat, jock strap worn on the outside, bit of eyeliner & a walking stick. Easy
dexter.
wearing a tight american apparel "kill time" shirt, miami forensics badge (ebay), leather gloves, knife... and just sleeper hold a bunch of people at the party.

This costume is not for me, but I usually tell my peers to grab themselves a rooster mask and a bag of suckers, then go as chanticleer lollipops.
come on guys, get more creative.

I'm going as a Loofah, the materials were cheap and its easy to make. I look foward to ladies rubbing on me all night to "get clean". I'm also bringing soap dispensers filled with booze for an added touch.

I like the stick man outfit. Wear all-black (think "ninja-all-black") and then use athletic tape to "draw" a stick figure onto yourself. You can go the typical iconic stick figure or something more like the Pearl Jam stick figure, that's up to you.
When you move around (especially in the dark) it looks like a walking/ dancing/ drinking stick figure. The effect is surprisingly great.
Tying a mylar balloon to my 2-year old and going as Richard Heene
My friend and I are going as 'Bras' as in dude bros, brosiphs, etc. Striped polo, maybe a team shirt, backwards hat, track jacket, ankle bracelet, cargo shorts. I'm going to carry around a stack of red solo cups and a ping pong ball as well. Maybe start conversations about the new muffler on my civic...
-Green Man, excellent idea,
-Don Draper, drinks Rye not Scotch
All of us at HowardTV are printing our own beetlejuice (from the Howard Stern show) mask at thisisbeetle.com and wearing it to the beetle ball tonight!
Got a full on Gorilla Suit and a t-shirt that says "I Fling Poo!"
King Kong ain't got sh*t on me.
I was Andy Warhol last year. I might be stealing the Ferris idea though. For Andy:
- Wayfarers
- Black button-up & jeans or black suit or black and white horizontal striped tee & jeans
- White wig
- Converse or some sort of 70s boot found at a vintage store
- Campbell's soup can
Decided to push the line this year. Purchased a fat suit, and will be wearing a sandwich board that says;
"Obama Health Plan: Who wouldn't want to pay for my insurance?"
