Share your Halloween Stories - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (potential NSFW?)

With the football season in disarray we could use a bit of distraction and entertainment. Today let's share our Halloween stories and experiences (or costumes) - Good, Bad, or Ugly.
First, THE GOOD
Had always taken my daughter out to trick or treat prior to the Fall of 2005, when our neighborhood ceased to exist due to Hurricane Katrina. She was extremely intelligent and had been a bit traumatized by having observed the anguish of her entire extended family and all her friends losing their homes, schools and churches to the storm. As good a child as there was in the whole world, she was refusing to get out of bed in the mornings. Displaced to Baton Rouge. On Halloween Day a month after the storm, she was able to return to school there, although I had to actually go sit next to her during her first day like an emotional support animal.
I thought the area where we found living quarters would have a similar trick or treating environment for her, but I was wrong - it was pretty quiet and dead (not in a Halloweenish way). Then I remembered that the LSU Athletic department was hosting a trick or treat at the Maravich Arena so I took my little witch over there. LSU cheerleaders and athletes gave her candy and took time to chat and ask her how she was doing in her new school. I remember that we met Glen "Big Baby" Davis and how massive he looked standing next to my little girl, and also how kind to her they all were. Props to LSU and the cheerleaders and athletes that gave of their time that night.

Some gals dress like sluts for Halloween. 
That's all I got.

In college my (former) buddy dressed up as an ISIS terrorist.
That went over with the ladies like a fart in the wind. He thought he was being edgy

I met my wife on Frenchman 16 years ago. She was dressed as Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction and I was a Jedi. Two dorks coming together.

Maybe we will get to that story later in the thread, eh? Does this costume qualify as slutty? Was marketed as "Sexy Alice" (in Wonderland).

When I was 4-5 or so I was ecstatic all day about trick or treating, finally gets dark so me and the neighborhood group head out.
First house had a dark driveway I run up and smack head first into a pole, nearly knocking me out.
Went home crying with a knot the size of a boiled egg right between my eyes
true story

When we were teenagers in Ruston, My friends and I would steal the jack o' lanterns in Ruston and go to the interstate bridge and throw them onto the 18 wheeler freight hauler trailers and hear the "BOOM"...
untill the CB radio caught up with us and a driver held his pistol out of the window and fired in the air!! Scared us bad!!!

Had a frat buddy throw a costume together at the last minute and won a $500 bar tab...
He went as a "Blind Venetian".. Hung a set of stolen Venetian blinds from a dorm around his neck, had a PVC pipe for a cane and dark sunglasses.
Profit....

Second, and out of order perhaps, THE UGLY
For quite a few years after graduating, a group of us tailgated together for the football games. One year someone decided to host a Halloween costume party. One of the guys and his gorgeous girlfriend showed up dressed in doctor's scrubs, with prop stethoscopes, etc., and bloody baby dolls stuck on wire clothes hangers - as abortion doctors. I don't think I would have felt more uneasy if they had showed up as Nazi Dr. Mengele and Anne Frank.

Got drunk on Halloween night once after we walked the kids around the neighborhood for trick or treating about 22 years ago. I slept in the kids playhouse for a little while after the wife locked me out of the house. Woke up, the door was unlocked and everything was good again

First the good:
Back in college around 1990 a buddy and I dressed as Hans and Franz from SNL. We went to TG&Y and bought cheap gray sweat suits and pillow stuffing. We made muscles out to the stuffing and used duct tape to hold it in place. Spikes gelled hair and fingerless workout gloves finished the look.
We went to the Texas Club and we were a huge hit. I got more attention from women that night than ever before. We won second place in the costume contest and drank for free all night.
We hooked up with these two girls, one was pretty hot, the other…. Not so much. Let’s just say I got stuck with wingman duty.
We went back to their apartment immediately paired off, went to the bedrooms, and started making out. Things got hot and heavy pretty quick.
Now the bad (kinda). As clothes started coming off and I peeled off the tape and removed the fake muscles I could clearly see the disappointment wash over ol girls face. I mean, what did she expect?? The stuffing was clearly fake as shite!!!
I still got lucky, but I think she felt she’d been played.
Oh well, she was a fatty that got boned by a wingman. Such is life.

1987 - I went as a human billboard. White Levi's and white t-shirt on del playa in Santa Barbara. I asked people (women) to write on me. Eventually passed out, woke up and found a phone number on the inside of my pants and I was still wearing them.

I got paddled at school for arm wrestling at lunch on Halloween. I was dressed as Dracula.

Got an I.C.E. patch for the front of my 5yos police swat costume.
Going to a birthday/halloween party for a girl in my 3yo class. Both parents are teachers at a pretty liberal school.
Should be a riot

Oldest, daughter, was about 4 and dressed as supergirl and I as a crook she had captured.
I was dog tired and stressed from work, wife at home with baby.
We went around our small cul de sac area, and I knew I could tell her “Okay that’s it, we’re done”, but I felt the moment, took a deep breath, and said let’s go to the big neighborhood next door!
House after house, an hour or more later, we finished and went home and she was beaming with joy from such a good time. I will always remember what a sweet time that was and glad I stepped up.

5 years old. Teenager neighbor dressed up as a mummy with the stretchy skin tone bandages and the Frankenstein walk came outside and at me. It was a legit costume. Screamed bloody murder running home 2 houses away. Felt like I was running on quicksand and in slow motion. Got to my yard and hid in a bush trying to be as quiet as a mouse while being in a state of sheer terror.
Will never forget.

Third, reverse pivot to THE BAD
Or perhaps just bad parenting. My daughter was mentally far in advance of her chronologic age, but also matured early physically and was often mistaken for a teenager before she actually was one. One Halloween, when she was 12, she asked to shop for a costume of her choice. She very rarely asked for anything whatsoever, and had been such an exceptionally good young human that I agreed that would be her treat.
We went to a large supplier who provided not only seasonal Halloween costumes, but also clothing for films and tv shows. After searching extensively this is the costume she selected, because the picture on the package "looks just like me" - and it was very accurate reasoning, as by that age she looked almost exactly like this. (The girls in her seventh grade class had already discovered fishnet stockings and thigh highs, and one of her friends costumed in a similar "Sexy Sailor" outfit). She added a fancy black choker and fingerless lace gloves but ditched her high heels in favor of ballet slippers as easier to walk around in.
I agreed on the condition that I was to get half the candy, and she was showered with so much that I had a full year's supply of Reese's cups and Butterfingers. Was tempted to make her wear it again the next year.
