Maybe zipperface just like last year.
Here´s an example:

zipper_face-528x751.jpg

I really hate those zipper faces, WTF is that even supposed to be? someone taking off their skin? it just makes no sense to me, (no offense) I see these pics and they just look so stupid. (yes I know Im hating) :monkey1
 
lol, is not even a real costume. it is just a zipper glued to your face, I hate when people do that. at first when I saw it online I did think it looked cool, it was just a silly pic someone took. But then when it became a costume it reminded me of this article:
.
1. The Ironic Non-Costume:
You know these. A plain t-shirt that just says "COSTUME" on the front. A guy named Frank wearing a name tag that says "Raoul," placed on his normal outfit. A guy in his pajamas, claiming it's "me when I first wake up."
You'll find at least one at every Halloween party in existence. Why not? They're fun. Cheap. Easy to put on. You're able to technically say you put on a costume so you don't look like a killjoy. And when the night is over, there's no makeup to remove or complicated outfit to disassemble. People dressed as slutty Transformers know what I'm talking about.

Why it's a terrible idea ...
You're doing it for two reasons. First, you're legitimately trying to be witty and funny. The problem is that Halloween costumes are a terrible humor medium. Ninety-nine percent of "funny" costumes at best produce a forced courtesy laugh when you tell people what you're supposed to be. It's a joke that lasts about five seconds, but that you'll be wearing all night. And then will live on in however many Facebook albums you show up in. So you'll be explaining your joke costume, over and over again, for that same courtesy laugh, forever.
The second reason is that you just plain don't give a **** about dressing up, and you did the least amount of work possible just to say that you wore something to a costume party, just to get people off of your back. Because you're the kind of person who, above all, hates the idea of conforming to someone else's idea of fun.

To the rest of the partygoers who did show up in costume, that makes you a ********* because it now looks like you just showed up for the free booze and/or food. The party meant so little to you that you weren't even willing to put ten minutes worth of effort into humoring the host or other guests. You might as well have showed up with an empty cooler an hour early, loaded up what you could eat and drink, and went back home with the loot.
It would have been much funnier and appreciated if you had taken the time to build a giant middle finger costume and told everyone to go **** themselves the whole night. Which now that I think about it, I believe I now have my costume this year.

^ That whole article sucked.

And that is definitely a costume. A pretty cool one at that.

It's not just a zipper glued to your face. The concept is beyond easy to get, and is a very cool gory make up appliance.

okay.
What is the girl Dressed as? please, tell me?
 
Sure. But first, learn when and how to use capital letters. This is a message board, not AOL chat.

She's dressed as a human being who can zip her skin off. Simple as that. A nice gory addition to Halloween. It's a concept which is very simple, and clever. Not to mention, well executed, and visually striking.

You see, the best part about Halloween, is you can dress up as whatever the **** you want too. It doesn't need to make sense. It just needs to look interesting. Which that does.

And you attacking it shows you have no tact.

right........
 
It's exactly right. Why do you have to attack people's work?

you are absurd. I said I thought the idea was really cool the first time I saw it online. When I first saw this it was not as a costume but someone just uploaded the pic somewhere ( I don't remember where) and it did look cool. They also did one where they painted their face green, like if they were an alien.

But now when I see this as a Halloween costume it just became dumb to me. I am not attacking anyone here specifically I am just saying that I hate seeing these on Halloween because they are too minimal for a costume. I just don't think it is very good. If people were creative and added more to the costume like more zippers in their arms or something else then yeah it would be cool. adding more to it would be cool to see.

I seriously suggest you never come to the UK for Halloween, here no-one gets dressed up, at all. You don't want to see minimal, then don't come here.

We don't know that other 'zippers' weren't used in other places on the costume, we only have a portrait pic after all, not a whole body pic. I think it's awesome in a gross kind of way, but then that is the whole point so yay.

Last I heard Halloween was meant to be fun, good costumes, bad costumes, tacky costumes and kids costumes. they all make it, what it is.....fun.
As long as peeps are enjoying themselves who cares if their outfit is 'minimal'. Me thinks you are forgetting that and putting far too much emphasis on the costume being something extravagent.

:lecture When I was a kid me and my friends would always try our hardest at halloween but it always usually ended up being a crap night. No one would ever answer their door. :slap:lol

I was talking about my personal experience with the zipper costume, I saw it last year here in the sreets and the bars or parties, I also saw a lot of Lady gaga half-assed costumes and I even saw a baby costume,
I know people make all kinds of costumes, I just don't like the zipper one because at least here, all they do is get a zipper, glue it in the face and paint their mouth red, so when I see that from behind they look like they are not wearing any costume at all. Is kinda like when someone wears their pajamas as a "costume"

but yeah I know the rest of the world doesn't even celebrate. here we do a lot. For halloween I dress at least 2-3 different times each year, depending on the party I am going to. I don't use the same costume.
I like seeing costumes and I love seeing the creativity of people, I have seen some really funny and creative costumes. You also see a lot of crap really crappy costumes.

It's sad, but true.
Halloween night everyone sits in their houses with no lights on and not moving so if there are any trick or treaters they don't think anyone is in.
I haven't seen a trick or treater in many many years, they just don't do it anymore, at least not that I've experienced. I don't even remember ever going trick or treating myself, we just didn't do it.
Hi hicksy :wave

....and therein lies the fun.

It doesn't matter what 'costume' someone is wearing, geez they're not going cosplay at comic-con you know.
It's Halloween, a laugh and hopefully a few drinks at parties, not that I have experienced that on Halloween but I know it from my American friends that's what generally happens.

There will be peeps in their pajamas as you say, there will be others in Gi's or wearing plastic red horns with a devil onesy (I bet that's Dorkie's favourite ;)).
There's those who do treat it like comic-con and spend months making their costumes but it's not a creative competition and no ones costume is less valid. Although the thought of a Lady Gaga outfit scares the hell outta me :lol

Anyway, moving on. I'm looking forward to seeing more pics of peeps' costumes :rock
