With Halloween coming up in the next few weeks over in the Northern Hemisphere We've came up with an idea for a Competition.

We want you to post your Helloween Costumes for this year and we will then choose our favourite.

First Place will win:

* Revere Hard Cover
* Gene Simmons House of Horrors

Second Place will win:
*Marvel Zombies Hard Cover

I also may have some more stuff as well so we will Add more as we get closer to the closing date.

Closing will be 14th of November so you have a couple of weeks to get your pictures uploaded.

Good Luck!

I'll enter! I put this costume together so that I can have it in time for a Star Wars Costume party my friends through every year. Once I'm finished, I might submit for membership to the 501st.

Well, we're having our Halloween party tonight (getting ready right now, actually). I'm going to be Jigsaw, with my wife Steph, who is very petite, as the puppet Billy. Should be a good time. I'll try to get some pics.

Well, here we are. Of corse, Steph had to make me laugh right before the picture was taken... but she looks pretty creepy, personally.

Hello Guys.
(New here. The "Shape" man pointed me here from Grant Bonds Forum.)

I don't really do any dressing up myself, but I have kids. Me and my wife have always taken pride
in making our kids outfits for Halloween. So here are some of them.

This year my oldest son (Ben) wanted to go as a sniper (again) but also wanted to go as Darth Maul.
he couldn't decide which was better... so he picked both.

I give you.... Sniper "MAUL"
(Or as I like to call him... Ben ja "Maul")

Here is both my boys... his younger brother went as a sniper again as well.

Now for the past...
The boys have been going as snipers for quite a while.
Here are some pictures of their ghillies.
(You can read how we made them here: http://www.suspiciousmindscomic.com/the-kids-ghillie-suits/ )

My youngest in the first Ghillie we made. We handed it down to him and
made a new one when the oldest out grew it.

The boys together with the new ghillie. They are such "posers"! LOL!

The boys trying the Ghillies out in our field...

With the left over pieces we made... GHILLIE BEARS!!!!
Oh so cute... and oh so poltically incorrect! LOL!!!

A couple of years ago, my youngest wanted to be the
"White Spy" from Spy vs. Spy...

So here he is with his older brother in his ghillie...
Just like a good big brother, he is "covering" his little "Spy" Brother. Hahahaaha!!!

Better view here. I made some a fake stick of Dynomite for him to carry.

#1 Question asked? "What do people think? Kids dressed as snipers?"
- Depends. It's mostly very positive. Some people want their pictures made with them.
I have had guys ask all kinds of questions on how to make them. A couple of elder ladies
this year thanked the boys for dressing as "Soldiers". Military guys seem to really get a kick
out of them. Some times we get the "Better call child protective services quick!" look from
some moms. But over all its very good. My oldest even gave an oral report on how to build
Ghillies, and the history of Scottish Gamekeepers at school.

Hope you liked them.
(Oh... and nice to meet you guys!

)
