I have three costumes. Sully for when I'm in Disney, Little Nicky for our friends' Adam Sandler group costume, and then my fiancee and I are doing flapper girl and art deco guy to hand out candy on Halloween
We had already bought 5 pumpkins before October 1st. None of them are even carvers so I'm afraid of what the end total will be.
I bought a big green pumpkin last year thinking it would make a cool jack o lantern but I quickly learned you can't carve just any pumpkin
It's one of those choose your own adventure things like Bandersnatch where New Day goes to Undertakers house and tries to steal his urn. It's pretty terrible and ridiculous.
My cousin asked if now is too early to think of costumes. I responded with "lol, no" especially her since she tends to make her own costumes. My best costumes have been thought of early enough that I can take my time acquiring the right pieces.
This is the guy I'm working on. It's huge, almost 7.5 ft tall. Some minor details still need to be done. Adding goopy string between the face and pumpkin in his hand so it looks like pumpkin guts from ripping the front off. Maybe some more plants coming out of his ribs, etc. Gotta attach the head so it's looking at you and not away. But it's coming out good! EDIT: Fans of HHN in Orlando will appreciate my little Easter egg. @Matt
...corn syrup... the same stuff they used for pig's blood in Carrie.. Haha yea just corn syrup and went heavy on red food coloring drops. Then I blew the syrup out through a straw to get the desired distribution.
Eh...not so great. I've had success using it on cloth before, even when exposed to the elements, but it's not sticking to the plastic. Back to the drawing board.
