Well, the artist and Jack the Ripper would be too expensive for a Halloween costume. The Joker is going to be WAAAAYYY over-done this year. So I say go for Hook. True, he might not be scary - but neither is a lot of the crap people go as. (Like cats. FTW!) =P

Thanks for commenting

None of them, go as the killer from Scream :D

I hate that plastic air you breeth when you wear that thing.

I would say the mad artist would be the coolest. Absolute no to Joker, expect you want to be one among 20 and all going: Heheh haha. hoo. I argue between Artist and Hook.

Okay.^^ my faves too

nods. the mad artist btw is very very unique ^^

the mad artist could be done well and cheap.. artist smocks shouldn't be that expensive. As for the hand.. they make cheap rubber hands don't they?

They do? Thought it would be evry expensive

Also I would love to find chap ones, I like the idea

why not see if you can find a cloth dropcloth and mod that?

What about a vampire?

Every second goes as a vampire/vampiress....that is too normal...oit was a shocker some years ago...but now

Uhm... but you look like a vampire! ... uhm,....
What about a martian vampire? :P

Lol

I would prefer the mad artist or maybe Hook.

My faves too. Thanks for commenting^^

Hmmm.....I'd like to throw another character into the mix for you to consider....How about Mr. Hyde ?....The Jack the Ripper costume would work well for him,and you could even save it and alter it somehow if next year you decide to go as old Jack....thus,spending the money for the topper would be a good investment! If you have a nice,ornate walking stick in your collection,that would be the perfect accessory,as Mr. H had that habit of giving anyone who crossed him severe beatings. ^ ^;;;....The only thing is,how are you with make up effects? You would have to make yourself somewhat ugly for Mr.H....Bushy eyebrows,large snarly costume teeth,etc....To me,the best version of Mr. Hyde will always be the 1932 film with Frederic March...look him up! just a suggestion off the top of my head...I hope it helps!

Make sit even harder, I fear

anyway, I already got hairy handbacks :)

i went as a demon knight once, i had these two sword. which i built sheathes for and had some copper wire by stripping the cover off and wrapping it around teakwood veneer strips. then i took a cheap clear mask ground up some rubber on a sander forming a bunch of sawdust like rubber then took un-vulcanized rubber that is used for making rubber molds with and the sawdust rubber and built a mask of enlarged cheekbones and eyebrow ridges and the mouth and chin. then i cut the jaw off and reattached it with more latex rubber in layers using a hair dryer to cook it to near vulcanized. then i painted it all lime green and crimson red the made teeth out of hard white plastic and sewn it into the mask back then added a rubber film to the eys so that i could just put the mask on and the carefully seal the eyes to my cheeks underneath so it looked like my own face and was form fitting. i could talk with the jaw moving a little and could drink beer out of a long neck! the rest of the costume was just all black soft cheap fabrics and an old vampire cape i put on inside out with the red on the outside then a hood over the top and whallah; i was a demon knight that scared the hell out of people especially when we went out to a restaurant and ate dinner!

or you could do what a friend of mine did, he went as a flasher. he got an old cheap overcoat from a second hand store and then made a pair of leggings from checkered pants and then made a big cock out of some of that rubber i mentioned a couple of styrofoam balls in a sack like a plastic bag then painted everything bright pink and used some hairy wig stuff for the pubic hair then he would wear the pants over his own clothes and put on the strap on fake dildo then wihip open his coat when someone asked what he was...hehehee.

or get some of that molding stuff like i did with the demon mask and built your character with it and make a pirate costume like he wears. the pistol should be easy to make it only has to look like it works. and the cutlass has to only be a sheath and the handle. a second hand clothing store should give you all the stuff you need to build the costume then start sewing!

I just asked about these four costumes, mate......
Thanks anyway

Ol' Jack ( the repper )

great costum section.

Ok. Thanks for voting^^

np ^_^

I'd go for Hook.

Haha, me to somehow^^

You are very british indeed

Personally I'd go as "The Mad Artist," but that's me. I get the impression you're set on "The Joker," or "Captain Hook.

It is artist or hook. artist is just very complex, and time is running out

Go with the mad artist, everyone will be doing Joker this year.

guess so..I hope I get time..and anyway, artist or hook, the diea is not bad, and for next time I will have plenty of time to do it.

Yeah like everyone has already said, Joker will be so overdone.
I like the Hook idea, and by the sounds of it, it won't be too hard to make.
But Mad Artist is really awesome and unique, so if you can round up everything in the next 10 days, I'd go with that one.

Thanks for commenting. Like I said above, I will keep the idea anyway^^
