While originally this thread was to be opened for costumes but please feel free to use it for other things such as your pumpkins or if you can't make to the live event maybe a little blurb of your character popping in for a little treat.

For Pumpkin Carving fun (Does not need to be used for the pumpkin contest - just a little extra fun!) As always, have fun with it!

Sira had done Disney themes for Halloween in the past, this time she was inspired by seeing the Little Mermaid in the theater. Her version of Ariel was a lot less piscine, with a flowy skirt (which splits a lot lower than pictured, thanks to a well placed shell pin at the knee) over thick skin-colored tights speckled with golden scales. (since I couldn't find a picture to go with it, she's also wearing a matching top for warmth, so her arms/chest are sparkly as well!) Instead of a shell bra she opted for a layered purple cami, and left the shells to her accessories. For a little extra warmth she found herself a golden, "net" shawl. To top the whole outfit off, she found a way to get her hair magicked a deep crimson red for the evening.

Having never actually seen the movie series on which her costume was based, she had to trust Cooper's explanation when they laid out their coordinated family costume. For Fright Night, they came as Vader and Leia, though on Halloween itself, they added in Yoda, Han, and R2D2 with the kids. The blaster and lightsaber? Definitely the real thing.

A lengthy argument about who was a superior female protagonist, Zelda or Midna, ultimately ended with Addie getting her way. It wasn't exactly a lose for Ro though, not with all of that body paint...

Where Addie was concerned, one way or another, Romeo rarely lost. In fact, it had been quite funny helping to apply the body paint and would likely be more so removing it. The pretty woman had indulged him with the costuming theme and, to reward her, he put extra effort into his own regalia.

It was only a matter of time before the city siren would dawn the ultimate costume. She was like a real life Sailor Venus!

Not precisely a costume. But the crawl of vines across leather, denim and skin serves the same purpose, more or less.

Ed & Goshen attended together. The former might not be entirely recognizable given the great lengths he went to for an authentic, feminine look, including the application of make-up and styling of hair.

Nile and Desdenova arrived as only the most awesome, epic alternative universe crossover ship ever:

...It might have been a date.

Red Riding Hood arrived a few steps ahead of the Big Bad Wolf, her outfit a study in traditional reds, a silky hood and a much shorter skirt than grandmother would have ever approved of.

Whether Red remained in one piece as they slipped away after the party was anyone's guess.

In a grand departure from tradition (and potentially racially insensitive to elves who didn't fit the 'stuck-up' stereotype) Mesteno abandoned his usual sorry sheet with eye holes in favour of playing at Thranduil, Lord of Mirkwood. His usual red hair an illusory platinum blonde, and eyes a pale and piercing blue, he'd donned the shimmering silver robes and sculpted crown for the part. It was Fright Night however, and for the sake of the theme, there was as much illusion spent on the gorily realistic facial scar which appeared in a ripple at one moment and slipped the eye the next. Of course it would only take a few drinks and a little teasing at Lexius' expense for the regal facade to crumble.

Kane decided to have a little fun with his own costume, with some help.

The Empath knew little about all Hallow's Eve and its typical customs and even less about Fright Night. She did know, however, some sort of costume was expected; so, as a Servant of the Light, she instead assumed the role of a Dark Angel (or at least her interpretation of one.) Her raven coloured wings were quite realistic and she wore a mask as if that would truly hide her identity to any who knew the diminutive elfess. Eless even crafted a special fragrance to reflect the occasion: seductively "dark" and containing quite a few night-blooming blossoms such as moonflowers, Japanese wisteria, tuberose, datura and the special roses from Danny's home.

The outfit (Skip the stockings, she's wearing the boots below instead): https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f0/23/be/f023be6e7c76ee7ad7878e4595dd1574.jpg

GREASE is the word!

Rachel arrived as the iconic 'Bad' Sandy, replete with red heels, black attire, and lit cigarette smoking from her fingertips.

Katan wasn't feeling very creative. His costume was a last minute thing he had found in Addie's trick or treat bag from last year.

After a bit of nudging from her sibling, the blue dragon descided to go as a Dracolich.

She looks ghostly, but is she a ghost or a living being pretending to be one?

Ebon decided that Fright Night would be a night to fly high....as the Rocketeer!

((actual costume by user Jeff aka Utinni619 at the League of Heroes group on tapatalk - mad props to him!))

He was a bit late, but he showed to support Fright Night.

Why did he do this to himself" The man dealt with the morbid, the grotesque, and sheer nightmare fuel on a day to day basis; so why in the hell was he showing up at carnival dedicated to exactly all that and more on his off time!" Food, drink, and merriment - that's why. Plus it helped that no matter how unnerving everything may have been (looking at you creepy ferry dude and shadow sprites) it was (mostly) safe. Sort of like hunter lite version, all the fizz and none of the calories.

Snazzing up in a striped black and white suit the man went the distance to take on that most grandiose skeletal figure. Of course it was a drop in the bucket to the sheer amount of body paint his Sally was adorned with to hide delectably pale and freckled skin with the hue of dead, stitched together flesh. Quite the pair the two made as they strolled through the festivities, taking in the sights and sounds while enjoying the myriad selection of treats and libations.

Trying his hand at the pumpkin carving, well, lets just say the man 'failed' at it:

Apart from that the man near had to drag Foxy away from making a little voodoo doll keepsake of himself as he wasn't one to tempt his fates with such. He hadn't lived this long as a hunter by being willy nilly with the dark arts! Then again he did spy one on display that looked disturbingly familiar:

Oh sure, it could have been one of Race rather than himself (they both had a certain....reputation....that proceeded them), but he opted not to risk it and bought this for his date instead (after making sure it had no hairs or such attached to it because paranoia.) All in all it was a rather enjoyable evening, even if he may have walked into a few of the 'tricks' that awaited patrons about the festival (no one had ever accused him of being over observant or having an abundance of sense.)
