What is your all-time favorite costume that you have worn?
It can be store bought or self-made and original or the idea of somebody else.
Multiple costumes are fine!
I'll start with one I wore about 5 years ago that I'm still very proud of:
A do you know what I am?
I put a bunch of random stuff on: A skull helmet, clown nose, crazy clothes, etc...
When people asked me what I was I replied "I'm a do you know what I am?"
It took most people several times to get the joke, which was my whole intention.
It would have to be the full Klingon costume I wore not only for Halloween but for a few other things. Even visited a children's hospital in it once with a group of Trek fans giving out toys. Those kids had a ball seeing me in it.
I have two that I can't decide between.
A Phantom of the Opera costume I made. For the most part it was pretty simple, ruffly shirt, black pants, half-mask, and floppy hat, but the nice part that caught everybody off guard was under the mask, I had done some elaborate and rather realistic looking deformed face makeup.
Another was Ash from Evil Dead, complete with chainsawhand.
My favourite costumes are not ones I have worn, but ones I have made for my kids.
They're all fun: Indiana Jones came together rather well and the pirate one was easy but effective, as was Peter Pan; but the Dalek I built (and re-built over three Halloweens) for my youngest was my hands-down favourite!
in 9TH grade I dressed up as a psychotic clown from the ER (mind you, this was before I found this site)
