Halloween 2009!
Another Halloween has come and gone, and that means another successful Strange Adventures Halloween Party has come and gone. I finally found my camera cord, but I can’t find my photo editing software, so I had to leave all the red eyes in. But that’s Halloweeny, right?
Here is your Living Between Wednesdays team! L to R: Tiina, Johnathan, Me and Dave.
Ok, here’s the thing: I had spray painted some boots red, but they wouldn’t dry so I had to wear black ones. But besides that, and the fact that Bizarro isn’t a tubby pregnant woman, not bad, eh?
Tiina has her glasses on here, but most of the night she was cold bumping into stuff. Johnathan’s MODOK costume actually lit up which is awesome. Dave’s Hawkeye costume was great. I was hoping for one of the sleeveless versions of the costume, though, but I guess Dave didn’t want to show off his guns.
Here’s the winner of Best Male costume: KANG!
He looks pretty happy about it.
And here’s Best Female, everyone’s least favourite comic character, CATHY!
That’s just a well-executed good idea.
I unfortunately don’t have a good picture of the Best Overall winner, which was an amazing Dalek costume. BUT you can go to the Strange Adventures site to see lots of great pictures of all the costumes, including that one.
Here are some more of my favourite costumes:
ANT-MAN AND WASP! (again, better pictures on the Strange Adventures site)
GREEN/BLUE LANTERN!
IRON FIST!
LEGO MAN!
Get ready to have your mind blown…MA HUNKEL! THE ORIGINAL RED TORNADO!
CAPTAIN MARVEL AND MARY MARVEL (actually BLACK MARY)
PETER PARKER AND JIMMY OLSEN!
DRUNK TONY STARK!
There were so many awesome costumes, and again you should head over to the Strange Adventures site and check them all out. I love comic nerd Halloween parties because everyone goes all out.
Is Tiina wearing an Elasti-Girl costume? Good choice, if so.
YES! I was a lone Doom Patrol member. Maybe next year I’ll go as that crazy painting that comes to life or whatever.
I think it’s pretty clear from that photo that I have never used a bow and arrow in my life. I might as well be playing air guitar on it for all the good it’ll do me.
Additionally, never in my life did I think I’d go to a Halloween party with TWO drunk Iron Mans in attendance.
Two drunk Iron Mans happens all the time over on Earth 2.
And the Elasti-Girl costume was a cool choice. These all look good, actually, the Strange Adventures page pick shows off the cool Bizarro makeup better.
It’s true. The Bizarro make-up looks better without a flash.
Fun fact: I went out for Chinese food after the party with my face still covered in that make-up. Just Bizarro, Jimmy Olsen and the Mad Hatter eatin’ Chinese food.
Holy crap! I forgot to post a pic of the Mad Hatter!!!! I might have to do a second Halloween post.
One of those Drunk Iron Mans brought his own lampshade.
I’M JUST SAYIN’!
Chris Sims looks pretty awesome in that Iron Fist get up, that’s for sure.
I think that Halloween might be as close as nerds have to a holy day.
I wonder how we can use that to get days off work?
These…these costumes are magnificent! I have to admit that the Ma Hunkel one has stolen my heart.
