OFFICIAL HALLOWEEN THREAD

>>9201659
It's definitely not too early for Halloween. I started buying stuff for my coord August 1st

It's never too early for Halloween! Mods, could we pretty please get a sticky?

I'm still in the "oh my god what am I going to be this year" phase. My boyfriend actually floated the idea of doing a couple costume, which I'm way too excited about because before now I've never had a significant other long enough to do something as sickeningly cute as a couple costume. So I'm kicking around various nerdy couple things and alternating between "THIS IS AWESOME" and "this is disgusting. I disgust myself."

God my boyfriend is dragging his feet at a couples costume, but I think it is more because he can't wear the same werewolf mask he has had since we started dating. Any cute non-mask designs? The dream costume is Lydia Deetz and Beetlejuice if he wasn't such a complainer.

Doing a "sexy" costume for the first time ever (doubles as a cosplay for next year so two birds with one stone). But I'm still going all out for it.

I have a feeling I'll be working on Halloween and I bought a really awesome dress to wear as a costume. I'm just not sure what else I should do yet (pic related is the dress).

I saw on village vanguard and ebay that there are a lot of fake drippy blood chokers, so I was thinking about maybe getting one of those and doing shironuri makeup on my face. Would it be a bad idea to do facepaint if I'm going to be working, like if my face starts to sweat while wearing greaspaint would it get nasty looking quickly?

>>9201768
You don't have to do a couple's costume. If he's being a pain in the ass, just don't do it with him

>>9201771
Anon I'm going to class in full shironuri, and I go hard I mean I paint my neck and ears and wear gloves and a wig and contacts and everything

>all these people posting about couple's costumes
I don't think I've ever done a couple's or group costume sadly, but if I had a girlfriend I'd probably do fem versions of Kirk and Spock with her (the ultimate couple's costume)

>>9201773
Sounds pretty sick anon, I hope my college lets everyone dress up too.

>>9201772
Yeah my only issue is evrn cartoon Lydia is so close to my normal garb it sort of looses the effect. If our city didn't have a no mask policy costume choices would be so much easier

>tfw i don't have enough friends to be invited to a halloween party and not old enough to go to bars
i-i'll just walk around town in my costume i guess

>>9201815
>cartoon Lydia is so close to my normal garb
you wear a red spider web poncho on a daily basis?

>>9201776
Be my girlfriend, anon, I'd love to do this too.

>>9201776
Would you be Kirk or Spock though?
My partner wants to do something similar but we're fighting over who gets to be Spock.

I'm cosplaying Umbreon as a simpler costume for a pokemon themed party and then a gothic ero demon for a lolita halloween meet. Don't know what else I'm doing. I have most of the coord, I just need horns.

>not living in a country where Halloween is a thing
So sad.

>>9201771
Greasepaint won't drip if you get sweaty, that's one of its main selling points (its oil based and isn't soluble in water). However because of that it can transfer very easily if its not set with setting powder and setting spray.

I haven't settled on a Halloween costume yet... I purposely work on Halloween to dress up for most of the day, but since there's also costume contest in the workplace and I've been successful at it, people have high expectations of what I'll dress up as this year. I want to keep it simple and creative still, but I'm also picky... Woo.

>>9201776
I'd rather be Data and Geordi or Sulu and Chekov...

I'm gonna be a purrate


A pirate cat girl.
Get it


Puuuurrrrrrrrr

>>9202665
I would love to be Data (because he's my favorite TNG character) and get someone to be Geordi. It would be cute

Bf and I did Adam and Barbara from Beetlejuice last year, probably just going to hang out in our kigus this year and watch movies.

Any other gulls going to be in Tokyo for Halloween? What are your plans?

I see people wearing thigh highs, very short skirts, and heels for her all the time when she'd probably wear a knee length skirt and flat, comfortable shoes (in the manga she is shown wearing a knee length skirt and red sneaker, but her sweater isn't completely accurate to her in-game sprite)

Crossdressing as a witch or dressing as a male witch?

For the former, absolutely watch some makeup tutorials on Youtube and buy makeup (or borrow some from a friend). I can't personally recommend any channels, but if you do a quick search for "makeup tutorial," you'll probably get a few top ones.

>>9202913
>For the former, absolutely watch some makeup tutorials on Youtube and buy makeup (or borrow some from a friend).
I already have makeup and know how to do my own but thanks.

>>9202905
Ok thank you. The hat I have now is janky as fuck. Do you have any suggestions on where to get one and what to look for?

>>9202919
It depends on the look you're going for. A good way to go about it is to use your local Halloween store bought witch wig as support, and just cover it with some better looking material. I'll post a few photos with pointers.

This one is easy to replicate. Even without all the lace up trim on the top of the hat, a little bit of *nice* lace or trim on the brim can go a long way.

15KB, 236x355px

>>9203031
This one is also on the simpler side. If you want more of a homely/neighbourhood witch look, an under-chin ribbon in some cute af look. Notice also how you can make a normal witch hat go from 0 to 100 with some nice lace, and ribbon around the cone.

77KB, 500x667px

>>9203033
If you decide to use the bought witch hat as a template or base, you don't have to stick to the normal cone either. You can extend it further and make a curl.

>>9203034
This one is an example of what you can do with a store bought hat with a trip to joanne/Michael's. Some nice looking fake flowers go a long way. I think the key is to not cheap out on lace and trimmings. If you aren't sure how to decorate a hat you can search up flower arrangements on google and go off that. This one mixes mesh, flowers, feathers, and ribbon.

>>9203037
Oh I kind of never answered your actual question. I don't think you'll ever find a nice witch hat commercially. I've only ever seen really nice ones on Taobao. It isn't too hard to make it yourself though.

Last image from me, another flower arrangement on hat that's still has a darker feel, but doesn't use black flowers.

>>9202723
Okay so cats purr, right? Purr is phonetically similar to 'pir' in the first part of the world 'pirate'
So I just swapped pir for purr because I'm going to be a cat pirate. So it's like I'm mashing the two words in to a similar word!

Haha great

I'm probably going to be Kira, none of my friends are into JoJo but they're big enough Bowie fans that I can just fall back onto that. I'll just be Evil David Bowie with a cat skull tie.

The one thing I can't decide is whether to go for the white or purple suit. Purple looks really striking but I can probably get more mileage out of a nice white suit. I know I can get a cheap purple polyester suit stateside for about 80 bucks, probably can get a white one cheaper at a thrift store. I've been trawling pop-up Halloween stores but no luck so far. I'd get something off the internet but at this point it's a crapshoot if it'd arrive by the end of October.

Are you willing to sew or create things or does it have to be store bought?
How elaborate (wigs, makeup, prosthetics) do you want the overall costume to be?

I'm planning on going as Asuka in her school uniform. The costume is easy enough to make with the limited time I have outside of school. I'm also going to a party with some classmates (idk if any of them even watch anime) so if anything I can just say I'm a Japanese school girl.

Any tips on fabric choices? I found this tutorial and I think it's pretty straightforward but if someone else has a better one I'd be glad to look at it! The reference material shows the white undershirt to have looser sleeves than she made so I'll use one of my shirts as a reference for that.

If anyone has recommendations on where to buy the hair clips or black shoes I'd appreciate that too!

Should I dress up for college, anons? I have no idea if it's common to come in costume if Halloween falls on a class day.

>>9205901
I wouldn't. Most people don't dress up because they have obligations like labs or whatever where they need to be properly dressed

>>9205908
Ah, true. Would be nice to go as Sadako though since I don't have classes that day.
Maybe I'll just wear something casually spooky like skull print stuff and go to campus for the day to get some homework done.

That's literally the opposite of what I implied.

How would I go about making my own victorian era style hat, similar to voodoodolly but much less extravagant. I really like the shape of the shops hat bases but I want to add my own decorations and maybe make a more casual one for all year round.

Thinking of just making a simple techpriest. Only with the robe, something for the face and some parts of old electronics here and there.

I think this goes here. I'm trying to find a good brand of body paint/dye for an Ursula cosplay i want to do for Halloween this year. i've got a good corset lined up, i'm working on finding a pair of skirts, one black one purple(or white and i'll dye it), but i'm having trouble finding a good body dye. I've looked around, PAX and Mehron have been recommended by some other lovely anons, but i'm not sure how to check what colors i'll need to mix, so if anyone has any advice on getting a lavender color, please post.

>tfw when the campus police at my college are so paranoid they cuffed a guy wearing nothing but a master chief suit (no guns or weapons or anything) last year for fear he was a shooter

I just want to wear my titanfall cosplay, but that's even more realistic than Master Chief. Protips for wearing dubious costumes and not getting arrested?

>>9210274
Call security and give them a heads up. Just be like "Hey, you cuffed someone dressed from Halo last year, I'm going to be dressed up from a game called Titanfall. I won't have guns/guns will be orange tipped. Please don't arrest me"

>>9209911
i havent been able to buy a legit one yet but please get over it

>>9210274
>>9210294
This advice best advice. I run the cosplay club at my uni and always give them a heads up if we're about to do a photoshoot with any costumes that could be considered questionable, and the theatre I work at does similar ("our show has gunshots in it, expect to hear three loud gunshots in quick succession around the theater around 9:30 pm every night this week.")

Working on a humorously-intended Sexy Founding Fathers group. Currently we all have proper colonial military coats, thigh high boots, white hotpants, cravats and wigs, but I'm debating whether it would be better/funnier to have white corsets styled after colonial waistcoats or just American flag bikini bras for the tops. Thoughts?

I can't figure out a couples costume definitely but it's already getting too late to order and have it here on time... I've considered a maid/lord, and ghost/grim reaper combo. I wanted to order a maid costume from Bodyline but lurking revealed it'd never come in time, so I'm not sure where else to look or if I should go with a different idea entirely.

If you take off any face mask or facial accessories you'd wear with the cosplay as you're traveling you won't get much hassle by cops if you're worried about that. I'd worry about the winos late at night messing with your costume desu

>>9206061
Please use proper satin or grosgrain ribbons in your hair rather than those plastic ribbons meant for wrapping.
I can't believe you put that much effort into the hat but didn't get a proper blouse. Other than that it's not too bad, at least SDC has spooky vibes.

So...like goth? Are you going for a witch hat or some other kind of headwear? Maybe you should pick a theme (steam, goth, vampire/blood, etc.) and/or color scheme (black/white, black/gray, etc.) and run with it. If you don't want a wizard robe or cape, you could also consider a half or shoulder cape (it just drapes on one side).

Working with two outfit ideas.
Left is what I wore last year to work (pls no bully). I finally have my AP bag but unsure about new bottomwear and shoe choices I could go with. Tried to see if maybe there were cute bat tutus or something, but I haven't found anything decent thus far not meant for kids.

Right has been a long time dream coord, I've always wanted to do a Minnie coord with this print. Main decisions I'm unsure about are about what bag or clutch to buy in addition to accessories.

I'm going to be doing a day of the dead inspired dress up and I want to black out my eyes (whites and all) compeltely, so theyre completely black.

Im aware of sclera contacts but they are too expensive to justify for a one time thing, plus they seem to be shony and wouldnt blend with the black make up around my eye.

i thought maybe a black mesh glued over my eye but i dont even know where to begin with that.

>>9211679
You can put ink in your eye and it will black it out.

>>9211679
What you want to do is impossible without sclera contacts.

You can use make-up to get close, or you can use a mask with mesh.

If you've got a theatrics store around you can often sample them in store and mix on the back of your hand. PAX is just standard colour theory of mixint acrylics to match your body paint.

>>9207426
For reference, 2ml will usually cover your face + neck but not much more, so 8ml minimum if you don't use PAX. But you'll want to do at least one face make up test, so try and go for something like a 20ml tub if you can.

Also depends on how close you are to Ursulas body type. More body = more skin = more paint.

>>9209676
Yes, it's definitely that hard. I'm not sure what you're looking for? Pull-over-your-head mask? Front face mask? Latex prothesis? The easiest to DIY would be a front face mask, you won't have to worry about realism then either.

>>9209733
Depends on context. It's pretty niche.

Planning on doing Spike (BTVS)! No idea when/where to wear him but whatever. Most difficult part is coat and make up, but I did find myself a coat that's pretty close...

It is however 1) a tad stiffer leather than I'd like, 2) lacking the pattern piece going down on the back of the shoulders (don't mind, it still looks good and it's not a vital detail), 3) lacking the cuffs of the canon jacket. I tend to get hooked up about details, but I could use an outside eye on whether it's worth adding a temporary thing for the cuffs or not? It's a really nice jacket and I don't want to ruin it with my meh sewing skills (especially since I don't really know how to work leather), but I'm not sure doing a deattachable pair of cuffs would be worth the effort, or even viable seeing as it's, well, leather.

Also, from my experience the only leather you'll want to grease are shoes, but I did have someone suggest doing it to soften the leather of the jacket. If anyone got experience with if there's a good option aside from just wearing it with love that'd be great!

>>9211810
I adore Spike! It's honestly not going to be much of a miss if the coat isn't perfect on the wrists. You can also make up for detail in other ways. Get the brow scar tight! And do that tattered punk top with safety pins from the subway fight for extra throwback!

>>9206148

I used to use saddle oil on my leather trenchcoat, kept it supple. It was really thick leather so I was worried it would crack. Didn't seem to cause any issues, smelled good when applying too.

>>9211877
And it sank in properly without rubbing off on everything and anything? That's sort of my main concern. The leather is good, but again, a bit stiff. I don't think it's at risk of cracking anytime soon, though.

>>9211841
Didn't actually think of doing the punk top, but that might work better anyway... The super tight T-shirts from the 90's wouldn't do me many favours.

oh fuck we sticky now

Alright seagulls, I need halp.

I'm looking for opinions, ideas, etc to help me complete this costume. The only thing I know for certain is that I'm going to wear a balaclava to cover my head and neck and carry a cane of some sort.
As for hats, should I go with a tricorn or a wide brimmed hat of some sort? Should I use the pea coat I'm wearing in this photo, or go with some kind of hooded cloak? Every opinion is welcome. I'm looking for opinions, ideas, etc to help me complete this costume.

>>9212275
They usually wore heavy robes of waxed black canvas in an attempt to avoid harmful contaminants. They also wore a wide-brimmed hat, which helped show their profession. The whole plague doctor outfit was pretty much medieval biohazard gear.

whenever i try to google it only comes up with "how to cover a black eye" "how to apply sclera contacts" because i dont know what to search for, searching "black mesh material" just brings up weird non relevant stuff, and searching black mesh to cover eyes again gives me "cover up black eye" or more non relevant shit.

i need to know the name of either the material i need or a website that supplies it (UK) plus glue that would stick it to my skin for a good 12 hours

If I dressed up as a clown would there be a risk of getting beaten up because of all that viral advertising shit for the IT remake?

>>9211679
Honestly, you might be able to do it with the cheap (cheaper the better) black cotton from joanns and attach with prosaid. But I don't think there would be enough room between your eye and the fabric to see/open your eyes.

You probably should just cover your eyelid with the black body paint and close your eyes for photos.

I understand where you're coming from, I just don't think it's feasible.

>>9212705
Go to a fabric shop, find a nice, matte fabric, hold against your face to test see-through, buy, use latex to stick to your face.

Most SFX make up (or make up, period) won't last and look good for 12hrs.

Or just paint your eyelids and close them for photos.

>>9211957
As I said above, I wouldn't stick mesh to your face. It would be obvious, and look dumb. What I recommended was getting a mash and using a thin fabric over the eyes.

Just use make-up. Your idea isn't good.

the fabric you're looking for is speaker-cover fabric. if you absolutely must cover your eye, apply with eyelash glue (poor man's liquid latex) and hide the edges with rhinestones or some shit as part of your sugar skull makeup.

The major cities in Japan celebrate Halloween big time. There will be a lot of clubs having parties and groups of people dressing as the same character. As in, you'll see a group of Marios or a group of ballerinas. There will also be a lot of trash which is my only complaint. There aren't enough trash cans for holidays like that.

You should dress up, have a lot of fun, and bring your camera. I always ask to take people's pictures and a lot of people ask for my photo too. Many people also surprise me and want to suddenly practice their English with me.

if you have those cheap compact steamer try that, however instead of just water, try adding like a couple drops of lavender oil in the steamer to reduce/rid the smell and it gives a light lavender scent

Thomasin & Black Phillip (from the VVitch)
Godzilla & a skyscraper
Father Merrin & Reagan (girl wears her clothes backward, twist lines drawn on neck)

>>9202550

At least you aren't old enough to drink but still have social anxiety / hate bar culture so you don't do anything for halloween except sit alone in your room.

>>9214343
aw dude, don't suggest someone go as a skyscraper. It always sucks for that person.

>>9214441
could always do godzilla and king kong instead

I think this year I'll be some kind of witch/succubus/she-demon sort of thing. Blackened fingers, ram horns, creepy crawlies on my skin, maybe wings. How hard are sclera contacts to wear? I have no problem with prescription ones but I understand that this might be a whole nother ballpark. Is it one-size-fits-all sort of deal or do I need to know sizing?

yea makeup is important just like a decent wig and something
that you don´t look like a flatbread
If you are to lazy to shave your legs get thick knee socks and maybe a longer dress
btw don´t forget to shave your hands/arms
and you MUST shave your face clean as fuck

went the last 3 years sometimes crossdressing as marisa

Long time lurker first time poster so hopefully the pic's resolution is decent and readable.

Anyway, I've been morbidly inspired by tibetan sky burials & zoroastrian towers of silence recently so I'm working on a black and gold vulture themed sorta gothic lolita(?) coord called Death n Taxes.

The accessories are still subject to change right now. Almost everything is within my reach + budget except for the virgo/earth/mercury necklace and the rib cage corset (it's a custom commission). There are cheaper versions of each online but they don't quite look as good though. I'm also still searching for a bunch of different gold goth/occultist/necromancer-y rings so the picture is just a placeholder for now.

The most challenging part is going to be the staff since I have to make it myself. I just want a witch doctor death shaman staff with bones, potion bottles, skulls, dried herbs, fur and other shit dangling from it and the staff of gul'dan is the aesthetically closest example I can find of what I'm going for.

I started putting this together a lot later than I should have so I'm not sure I'll finish it in time but I'm still pretty happy with this so even if I can't wear it for this Halloween I'm still going to work on it for future usage.

Man here.

Need some ideas for costumes. I'm 6'0, muscular but with enough fat to make my muscles somewhat undefined (bulking phase).

My ideas so far have been Blondie/man with no name from the good/bad/ugly and the spirit. The spirit is nice and simple and inexpensive, but i'm afraid the hat might make it look kind of dorky (fedoras having the social stigma that they do). Blondie is dope as hell, but I don't want to settle for cheap shit as my costume, and a good poncho/hat/vest will cost a lot of money.
Anybody here have any good male costume ideas?

I've bought material for a creepy doll thing but I kinda don't want to do that anymore because I'm indecisive like that. Might do vampire and/or demon though if I can fix myself some horns.

Or I might do both since I'm attending something like three parties this year like a pro.

This isn't halloween related but I figured I would get more help than in the help thread...
I want to cosplay Lenore. I have never cosplayed before.
I bought a long, yellow-y wig. Ideally I will get it to look like the one used here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7UQPko0wv4

Is there a way to lighten the colour of the wig? Mine is very bright.
I'm not struggling with the styling really, just colour.

Also, where could I get prescription contacts that look like those eyes? I'd be fine to buy two seperate pairs if there isn't a specific one. Or even something kind of similar.

I want to dress as a cute alien. Could I get away without having to do body paint but still look ethereal? Any inspo would be great!

You'll have to find a massive pair of balls if you want it to be accurate.

>>9217513
Practice the dance until you have it memorized perfectly.

>>9217513
Cut the hands off the body suit and hem it. The dancer has his hands viewable.

>>9217267
Unfortunately even replica Nazi shit is expensive af, same with a lot of Soviet, but if you're cool with not being 100% accurate then look into East German militaria. It's a fraction of the price and you can mod it to look close enough to the dictator of your choosing. Add some replica cockades/cheap knock off medals and you're good to go.

8 player smash, with the remaining 2 being the ice climbers

Got a weird red headband from a work party, realize it could make for a decent red pikmin costume if I prop a leaf or something on it.

I thought about going as Leon from RE4 since I randomly have a bomber jacket but no idea how to make a gun prop that looks like his seeing as his gun is fictional.

These are the thoughts of someone who hasn't dressed for halloween or anything in like 10 years.

So im being Raven from Teen Titans for halloween and i didnt realize until i put on my wig that i look TERRIBLE without bangs.
Any tips on how to make it not as bad?

>>9219242
I guess you could play with contouring your face to give it the appearance of a more bangless-suitable shape.
The best thing you can probably do is make sure your eyebrows are clean and well shaped.

I'm sure you don't look that terrible

>>9219054
Yeah I Probably will, except I need a sheath that can attach to an over the chest strap

>order costume off AE around the 20th of September
>think there's no problem ordering it around then, I'll get it just in time
>yet package still hasn't left China

How fucked am I?

How do you balance making something cool with making a costume that normal people will actually recognize?
The only stuff I'm into is too niche.

>>9205779
From my experience you can get a cheap, high quality cosplay. Granted, you just need to know where to look. Usually if you buy new from ebay listings overseas for ~$100, the quality will be anywhere from bad to decent.

You can try sites devoted solely to cosplay costumes, or check out forums for used cosplays. I've had a lot of good luck doing this. I managed to get a used, high quality Sebastian Michaelis cosplay that only cost $50. I also got lucky on another site and got a Zero Kiryu cosplay on clearance brand new for $25 with $20 shipping. It was made very well and had all of the right buttons and details.

It can be done, it only needs research and a bit of patience. Good luck anon.

>>9219293
Having the same problem too with a piece of a cosplay I ordered from China. I think there's still hope since there's a lot of time left since the 20th. Odds are you'll probably get it within a week and a half if it's already been that long.

>>9219227
sounds fake, but okay
