Happy Halloween, everyone! The time of year has come for jack-o-lanterns, trick-or-treating, and haunted houses. Start getting in the mood by making popcorn and peeking out from behind a blanket to watch Friday the 13th. Or maybe something lighter like Ghostbusters. Whatever floats your scary boat.

 

Of course, the big question on everyone’s mind is…what am I going to dress up as? Do I go for something relevant and clever? But wait, what about a group costume or a couple’s costume? If you’re among the wafflers, don’t panic – we’ve got you covered. Here are some awesome last-minute costume ideas:

 

1. Cowboy/Cowgirl

You own a plaid shirt? Boom, now you’re a cowboy. Just get your hands on a cowboy hat and boots and you’re ready to roll.

 

2. Steve Jobs

There’s a good chance you already have an iPhone. All you need is a black turtleneck, glasses, and all of sudden you’ve transformed into the genius we call Jobs.

 

3. Chip on Your Shoulder

This is exactly what it sounds like. Take a bag of Doritos or Lays and tape them to your shoulder. Congratulations, you have a chip on your shoulder. You’re ready for the party.

 

4. Tourist

Hat? Check. Fanny Pack? Check. Backpack? Check. Now throw some sunscreen on your face, hold a map upside down, and you’re a tourist.

 

5. Netflix and Chill

Get a red shirt. Write Netflix on it. Now hold a bag of ice and you’re Netflix and Chill. Plus people will think you’re a clever devil with this costume.

 

Did we reduce those panic levels? You’re welcome. We’d also like to know what you’re dressing up as this year. Comment below with your most creative costume idea by November 7th  at 12:00PM EST and 3 winners will be randomly selected to win a $50 Public Mobile credit. Try not to eat too much candy, and stay spooky!

There's no "talking" with moderators here. There's no call centre.

You need to send what's called a private message to them here and include your phone number and PIN.

Unfortunately, I am not a good lotto player.  Whenever I get really down, I go buy a couple of tickets.  Invariably, I don't win anything and get even more upset that I poured money down the drain.  I come to my senses that lottery tickets are a tax on the desperate.  Rinse and repeat when my short memory kicks in.

@Alan_K Have you announced the winners of the contest yet?


@Poogzley

He hasn't announced yet.  The winners are usually announced in a message posted to the same contest thread.

 

Don't worry, if you are a winner of any contest, you will know it easily, because they will tag you in the announcement and/or contact you for details if the prize involves delivery.  

For example, here was the announcement for winners of the Video Game Day contest.   Just make sure your e-mail notifications are turned on for forum replies and for private messages on your community account.

It might be a good way to scare kids, dress up as a calendar with their dentist appointment listed on it. Just take a standard desk blotter page for the month and mark it.

 

Alternatively, I did the 4th Doctor this year. Hat, long coat and a scarf that doesn't know when to end. The receptionist at my old job made me the scarf and I enjoy it immensely.

Eggplantman!  No one ever does that!

Stuff a purple sweatshirt with some cushions or pillow and wear a green cap.

 

Next year I'm going on a diet and losing so much weight that I'll stand sideways and become . . .
