When Halloween happens there are too many Halloween photos posted. It's hard to digest them all. So, in honor of me (and evidently [livejournal.com profile] literaticat) being home sick and bored, I am asking you to post your favorite halloween photo of yourself. As a kid, as an adult, heck even your fave of your kids... amuse me until my next Netflix comes.

My best Halloweens have been when I dressed in group themes. St Patrick's Day was the best but photos of that just look like we're American-born Irish on St Patrick's Day. If I get [livejournal.com profile] jactitation's permission, I will post the one of us dressed as space aliens but looking like rotting leftovers.

The photo below is from 1986. Our group theme was the '70s (though neither of the other guys pictures were part of that). I was an 8-track tape of Frampton Comes Alive which, if you lived though that time period, you know was everywhere. I hadn't finished my costume, but I had a wide piece of felt that went from shoulder to shoulder resting on my head to symbolize the "tape" part of the 8 track. I can't remember what everyone else was but we had a drag disco dancer and a Qualude. I remember being impressed that the Qualude person knew that their costume had to say "Lemon 714".

I copied the cover art myself from memory. Can you tell? while not identical, I think it captures the spirit of the original cover.


Post yours below

I was a straight edge zombie. My shirt read "TRUE TILL DEATH" and I had bloody Xs on my hands and a six pack of beer in my bag.

This is, I believe, the only photo in existence of me in a Halloween costume (in April, no less, when DNA Lounge decided Halloween should happen twice a year):

The Undead are always popular at parties. I was Vampire Elvis at a zombie party. We split the proceeds, as it were.

Well, technically, she was my post-HS gf. Boy, that's a relationship I hadn't thought about in a while...

The *only* reason I remember that is that I ran into the two of them at a show once way back then. I think it was at Wolfgang's and further would guess it was the Untouchables with the Red Hot Chili Peppers opening. But i wouldn't swear to that. I was like, "who's the funny looking old dude?"

This was actually taken during Northampton Pride '06, but we did the same theme for the previous Halloween:

That wig was slated to enjoy a third showing as Anna Nicole, but... too soon. :-/

If I only had a scanner, I'd upload the photo of me dressed as a hamentashen for Purim.

It's, unfortunately, the only photo of me in Halloween costume that I have.

are you dressed as a goth?

I think I was more going for frightening cabaret singer, which basically meant pulling out my wardrobe from when I was a goth. You can't see it well in that photo, but the fellow holding me up (my ex-boyfriend) was dressed like a Maoist, which was a much funnier costume.

I'm good with costumes. I'm bad with getting photos. So here's me just being an ordinary zombie.
