Halloween costume: based around this mask?

[Lord Camomile]

Apologies for another of these threads, though I suspect it may not be the last.

Got a Halloween party to go to and I was thinking of basing a costume around this mask I bought in Barcelona:

Trouble is, I'm no genius when it comes to clothes, so I thought I'd seek ideas and suggestions here. I thought perhaps some kind of 'fire demon' type thing, but what the hell clothes make a fire demon?! First thoughts were to get a waistcoat with some red in it, but I'm pretty sure that's just because I want an excuse to buy that waistcoat. Also, dressing up in such clothes seem the male equivilent of 'sexy witch' or 'zombie cheerleader' - just an excuse to make yourself look good with a vague Halloween theme.

Saying that, there may be this girl there that I like, so if we could work on some way of making me look good without it looking like I'm trying to look good, that'd be greeeeaaaaat

A meat suit.

 

[killer b]

some sort of satanic monk's cowl?

some sort of satanic monk's cowl?

yes...and a pitchfork...and a cloak....massive bit of red material and a broom stick with a pitch forky bit on top...sorted...oh yes, you'll get the girl in that little rig up.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

get a tux and a cloak and go as a phanto of the opera variant

This guy's clothes.

Dude, if I could get that outfit then sod the party, I'd wear that to work.

You seem to have forgotten trousers

get a tux and a cloak and go as a phanto of the opera variant

I did consider it, but I'm not really a huge fan of the Phantom. Plus, I'm much prettier

 

[Lord Camomile]

How it's gonna go down:

"Who are you supposed to be?"
"I am the Lord of hellfire, and I bring you *whip out and light Zippo* FIRE!"
"Take me, take me now"
"Alriiiiiiigggghhht"

Can't fail.








NB: "Zippo" is not a euphemism for my penis.

That mask looks a bit woody to me. Cover yourself in leaves and go as Bob the tree demon from Twin Peaks

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Looks very Demon Matador to me. If you've got the physique then a matador outfit plus scarlet cloak. There's something very sexy about a matador's garb. There's also that thing about skill and cruelty which fits the scariness element of Halloween.

It's actually leather, but I did have somewhat similar thoughts. It doesn't help that I keep thinking it's something a morris dancer would wear

Alas, I have the physique of a middle-aged 10 year old - no shoulders to speak of, and a little too soft round the middle. Interesting idea though, will give it some more thought...

Would work on me.

 

[emanymton]

Looks a bit harlequin like to me, which I think would be a pretty cool idea for a costume. Don't know where you would find one though.

Incidentally, I went looking for an image but couldn't find a decent one but as a piece of advice do not put the word harlequin in google image search it comes up with some rather disturbing images.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Well now what do you expect the very next thing I'm going to do is??

 

[emanymton]

If you really want to...

 

[Lord Camomile]

Woooooaaaaaah

Not what I was expecting The fuck is that??

 

[emanymton]

Look don't say you weren't warned.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I thought it was gonna be sexy! I don't wanna click through to the websites to find out more...

Fantastic!! That would work on me tbf - I once made a similar joke to a bloke at work when he became our fire marshall....he didn't know what I was talking about

 

[Lord Camomile]

he he, I really thought it was a bit cheesy, but maybe there's the charm. I can do that thing where you light it by clicking your fingers though, and I think I could do it on my jeans too (been a while since I played with a Zippo*).







*again, not a euhpemism.

 

[fen_boy]

 

[Lord Camomile]

Yup, that one did occur to me too...

You have just short of 3 weeks to get thee a 6 pack Get crunching mate I like Mrs M's idea.

For fire demon you'd need red jeans and shirt imo.

I thought harlequin too tbh and they can be very sexy! Nice muscley legs encased in tight trousers works for me tbf

 

[Lord Camomile]

Not exactly one for the muscley legs either... Also, don't like tight trousers, can't dance proper in 'em

I was thinking of having elements of red, but not going all out red everything; don't wanna look like a Jack White wannabe. Also thought I could burn areas of the clothing, for the singe marks.

I have a leather jacket that might work, but I think it kinda looks like I'm a teenager wearing his dad's jacket. I also have a long wool jacket, but the sleeves are a little short, kinda 80s

If I can't find something better, this is what I'll be reduced to:

alien ladybirds killing off our indigenous species?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Seriously, don't do it, it isn't pleasant.

I was thinking that type of shirt with red jeans but didn't know how to describe it apart from one of those loud shirts Kained would wear!
Not sure about the shoes

Be sure to die your beard black, wax and groom it into proper satanic slickness. Hair too for full effect
