Emily FinlayThe Ultimate Movie Based Halloween Costume
October 22nd 2007 10:19
Here in Australia, by some bizaree turn of events, children don't give a hoot about Halloween, but once they hit 16 everyone's clamouring to hold a Halloween party and dress up in costume. All over the country, guys are dressed as The Crow and girls are dressed as either Daisy Duke or The Crow. Now, personally, I'm not really one for costumes, but with the Halloween party season fast approaching, I've stopped and given a little thought to costume. My earlier plan involved going without a costume, and telling people I'm Jack Bauer. No one would oppose me, because no one messes with Jack Bauer. Ever. But today, I had a much, much better idea.
I was wearing a great big jacket as I walked through the rain to a job interview (the call to confirm whether I got the job or not is currently 90 minutes overdue, which doesn't bode well. Anyone in Adelaide reading this want to give me a casual job of some sort? No? Alright then). It felt like the kind of thing a noir-detective or an old-style gumshoe would be wearing. And suddenly, out of nowhere, the perfect costume idea hit me, and I was BLOWN AWAY by my own genius.
Here we see John Hartigan, from Sin City. He dresses simple, hes got a cool scar, he carries a piece, hes a cool guy. But much more importantly:
ANY GIRL DARING ENOUGH TO GO AS NANCY/JESSICA ALBA WILL BE ALL OVER YOU.
Stop. Stop and think about that for just a second. Can you...even begin to imagine the possibilities? What if Alba herself arrived at the party? This is my dream in life. So throw out your facepaint and go sustain a serious head injury, it'll be well worth it.
