I am going with a group of people out for halloween and we all want to go as a group theme... what would be a good idea that is inexpensive?


As you can tell by my avatar, a couple years ago we went as smurfs. and the year before that we went in bubble wrap spacesuits from "Dude wheres my car?". Last year we all went as flintstones characters.

What else would be clever and funny?

Help!

I'm gonna be a Geico Caveman this year

Sorry for the threadjack...

How about Reno 911 characters?

A few ideas:

1. Go as streakers. You wouldn't really be streaking, you'd be acting. ;)
2. Go as drunks. Cost: cheap booze.
3. Go as The Verizon Network. Everyone keep their phones by their ears and follow some poor schlep around town. :D
4. Go as "Secret Service". Pick one person in your group to be the "VIP" and everyone else wear suits and sunglasses. Gang tackle some guy when he isn't expecting it and rush your "VIP" out the door. :r

LOL :r:r

Maybe go as a bunch of Sumo wrestlers.

Don't dress up. Maybe a few of you get some temporary tattoos or something, but that's it.

Then spend the entire night yelling, arguing, throwing sh!t at each other, crying, hugging and making up. Every now and then all huddle together and start whispering about the one person who didn't make it into the huddle. Then call for a "vote" and ostracize that person from the party.

When someone asks what you guys are there as, tell them "reality show contestants" and then challenge them to a fight.

Go as an intimidating mob. You get more candy that way.

I have always though this was good.

I am not posting the picture since some my find it offensive. Use caution.

Do you have any blue paint left over from your Smurf?

White T-shirts and blue or black jeans. Go as the "T-birds" from Grease. Leather jackets optional.

I originally wanted to do the tetris pieces but that will be too bulky.

I was thinking about getting a few people to wear shirts that said “global warming” … and then one person was going to dress up as Al Gore.

If there are 9 of you, you could do octamom and kids.

This one would require that at least one of you smoke a cigar. I agree that it isn't appropriate for all occasions, but it's damned funny.

I still like my Verizon Wireless Network idea. :tu

You could always go to the Salvation store, we found so many cheap things. My friends and I dressed up as Richard Simmons a few years back.

I think both the Secret Service and the Verizon network are great ideas, especially if you have a large group.

Few years ago my ex-wife and I went as Paris and Nicole.

I was thinking of going as a bald guy from connecticut this year...

Very funny costume I saw when in Key West a couple of years ago. Group of 6, three guys, three girls. Girls were all done up as pumpkins. It was fantasy fest, so they were done up in body paint, but you can do fabric if you are so inclined, with green hats, green shoes and orange tights/leggings. Guys were done up in the same way, but with white t-shirts that said "Peter, Peter" on them. I have a pic, but as it's NSFW, I won't post on open forum. I'll host it somewhere when I get home tonight and post a link.

So, that group costume can be seen here (http://yfrog.com/5dfanasyfest07044j)- as I said, it's NSFW.
