The Ghosts of Costumes Past - your pictures

The Ape in The Cape copy.JPG

After we ran a few pictures of ourselves in past Halloween costumes, some of you sent me your own pictures from Trick or Treat past. Keep them coming and I'll post another update towards the end of the week, but in the meantime, feast your eyes on the combined sartorial imagination of the YBNBY readership.

Picture 103.jpg

Let's kick off with one from Kate, who says she made the Viking Chick costume herself. Not sure where the horns came from - there's probably a mutilated steer somewhere on a road in the Adirondacks.

Next here's Greg and Shannon as Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone. "Oh my God, what's that smell?" "That's the smell of desire, my lady"


DiscoStu.jpg

Regular commenter and correspondent Bigus Dickus (and by regular, I mean he's supplying more material for us than some of our writers) send me this "DiscoStu" image. I'm not sure if this is a Halloween costume, or his regular Friday Night attire.

Anthony sent me an image that, no joke, has haunted my nightmares for the entire weekend. Something about the Groucho Dog and the tiny clown is giving me many sleepless nights.

Brooke says "1. My shirt says "Drinking for Two 2. I was not pregnant 3. I carried with an african american babydoll with me. Wrong on so many levels." Yes, so many many. Didn't we have a video of these two saying they wouldn't vote for Obama because he was Muslin?

All of the preceding images didn't quite prepare me for the next set, all of which came to me via "Sorcerer Mickey". I was tempted to use at least some of these in Caption Competitions, but....

This one's titled "Rebelution Gambler".

Mickey as a pretty mean Snake Plissken.


The Ape in The Cape.JPG

And finally, what must be my favorite image of them all - "The Ape In The Cape". It takes a certain kind of genius to combine "Planet of the Apes" with "Something Wicked This Way Comes". Thanks Mickey, these were great.

That monkey's an imposter!

I'm pretty sure that the Ape in the Cape has been misinterpreted. It is from the staging of a simian version of The Elephant Man.

"I...am...not...an...animal! Metaphorically speaking of course. Literally, yes, yes, I am an animal."
