Help picking out Halloween costume

[mindmaniac]

I don't know why I'm starting so early this year, but I'm stuck between picking Freddie Mercury who I doubt many people will catch on to who the heck I am, but it will be original. My second option is to be The Crow, which will be easy to pull off, but way overplayed over the years. If you guys have any other ideas let me know. Last year I was a Stargate member, and the year before that a Ghostbuster. The Ghostbuster costume won a bunch of prizes at the bars, but carrying around a 40 lb pack on your back all day and listening to that song gets tiring.

The Crow.

Anything but Freddie Mercury. Freddy Kruger would be a better choice.

I've just got a feeling that if I went out looking like Mercury no one would know who I'm supposed to be and just think I'm a porn star or something.

How old are you and how old will be folks be at the party? If you're wearing a moustache and have a similar hair-do, it might be reasonably identifiable.

I'm 23, and so will most of the people I'm with. There will also be a lot of college kids, but I would imagine they know who Queen is. The Crow is unmistakable though.

Yeah, if it was an older crowd, then it might be more plausible but there's nothing wrong with being a porn star either. Drunk girls + porn star = movies

Only problem with the crow is people who watched old school wrestling will thing you are Sting or whatever his name was.

Too many people do Crow for Halloween. Do Freddie, and link me you costume

You sir make an excellent point.

If I go through with it I'll send you the pics. I'd have to have a friend make me the yellow jacket and make some alterations to a pair of white pants. I went out and bought a human hair fake moustache last weekend and already have the adidas shoes.

Half and half?

I know, I thought this would be a landslide towards one or the other.

No, I meant half Freddie and half the Crow

That would be a first time those two were ever combined.

Freddie Mercury

Almost any costume > the crow

The crow is too cliched and overdone

 

[FoBoT]

if you are going to be a bird, be something cooler than a dumb old crow, like a flamingo or an eagle

 

[Gooberlx2]

Ugh, where's the option for neither?

Be a Viking....I don't see Vikings much.

Just added the option of neither, sorry didn't think about that.

I'm from WI so I don't see that happening.
