I was invited to a haloween party not knowing it was costumes only. Now, less than a week until the party, I cant for the life of me think of anything. My friend is going as a chemist who mixed the wrong solutions, so something along those lines, or with nerdy overtones? Also, there will be much dancing and we're taking a subway at some point so nothing bulky/"mug me".

Many manymanymany thanks to you all, and I shall be in soul-debt to he/she that gives the best idea :mrgreen: .

For several years in a row, I played presidential assassins. The first year, I was Lee Harvey Oswald: I was in the Marines, I yelled a bunch about communism, and plotted to kill the president. The next year, I was John Hinckley: I wore normal clothing, I wrote a love letter to Jodie Foster, and I plotted to kill the president. You get the picture.

If it were me, I would be creative. Be a serial killer... they look just like normal folks. :lol:

You should go as the atheist's nightmare.

You could do something like a famous historical figure on casual friday... Or like... abe lincoln after a long hard day of work (then all you need is a hat, and you have a conversation starter) (if you have a bit of a beard).

Dress up as a high ranking navy official or a distinguished gentleman, with a rose in his right hand.

A friend of mine is dressing up as a Priest and dressing his daughters up as Choir Boys. I about pissed myself laughing when I heard that one.(er I mention this because priest seems to be a popular theme this year, also - something you could fly with)

How old are the kids? Are they getting the joke or are adults having a laught at unsuspecting kids being dressed up as victims of sexual abuse?

Well, it depends on how much effort/money you want to put into it.

You can do that with the most simple means of a pair of green trousers, a green hoodie and a paper plate you painted an eye onto. Put on the hoodie, fix the "eye to your belly, ready.

My brother in law likes acting compound words.

hmmm... heheheheh.... just remembered a halloween episode of "the bigbang theory".
you should go as the doppler-effect!

you could also go as professor Oak from pokemon.
just get a lame lab coat and grab one of those plushy pokemon dolls, preferbly a mudkip. and sow it to your shoulder.

or find the lamest super hero costume you can find and go as CAPTAAAAAAAAIN OOOOOBVIOOOOUUUSSS !!!

or get a huge santa beard, grab some clothes that make you look like a gentleman from 19th century and a fossilized skull... TADA, youre now Charles Darwin!

with a bit of creative thinking you can get really far.

I usually go as a mad scientist, but only because I like having messy hair and wearing my lab coat. :D

10 and 11, they get it.

I don't know how old you are, but as a cheap idea why not just go through some of your older clothes and go as someone from the 70s/80s/90s/00s

Actually, I think it'd be humorous to go as someone from the 2000s. Sort of a tongue in cheek poke at retro costumes.

Okaaaay, I still can't say that I'm comfortable with such a thing at that age. Do they really understand that they're dressed up as somebody who was raped by the person as whom dad is dressed up? I find it rather creepy.

Edit: And I find it disrespectful against the victims because their suffering is reduced to a cheap joke.

In short: I don't get the joke at all

Jar of pickles. Two rings,fabric, and some creative stitching is all that's needed!
