I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?

What Halloween plans do you have - for yourself or kids?   Anyone need suggestions/input on costume ideas - what to be or how to make it work? (Almost said "how to pull it off' but that would have been a major tactical error on this board!)

My 11 y.o. son wants to be Dr Who.  (To him that means the David Tennant incarnation).   Hooboy.  The shoes, the suit, the hair...OK.  Trip to the thrift store.  I can whomp up a passable sonic screwdriver.  Two big challenges: *the coat* (got to have the trenchcoat - right?) and the fact that half the recognition factor is the behaviour.  (The kid is shy and easily embarassed. Never mind that 80% of the people who see him will have no clue anyway.   Lookingup )  Finding the *right* coat, in his size (and for pennies)...oh man...why oh why couldn't he have wanted to be a cyberman? THAT I could do!

I'm actually a shy person too, one year I went to work as Monk, the obsessive/compulsive detective, most of this guy is in how he acts and talks, same with the good doctor so if you get close with costume the hard part for your son will be the character. He should start acting like the doctor in private until he's confident enough to be him around the house, then maybe try it out a little bit in public with his friends. Eventually he'll get enough confidence that he'll be able to slip into the character of Dr. Who whenever he wants. Also tell him it's Halloween, people are supposed to dress up and be other characters. People who are fans of the Doctor will get it, for those who don't he can tell them about the show and maybe they'll become fans too, that is if it ever comes back ton BBCAmerica.

Being a Cyberman is cheaper ?
Well, as a matter of fact it would be: a cyberman costume I could construct mainly out of 'found' materials - that's how we ended up with a dalek in the bathrooom.

Well, at least he doesn't want to be Rose ! TeddyR
Thanks for that!  No Roses here: my daughter wants to be Dr Who too.  She came up with it first, and was a bit miffed when her little brother asked if he could be.  So then I had the brilliant idea of  *two* Dr Who's (Drs Who?).  Since the little guy said he would not wear celery, he gets 'his' doctor and she is considering the Tom Baker version.  With jelly babies.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
