What LOTR character would be your choice for a Halloween costume? - Page 3

Renille · 11-02-2001, 12:02 AM

My little brothers do that all the time! It's not that unusual... or else I leave in a house full of "freaks!"

emplynx · 11-03-2001, 03:00 PM

I think I would probably dress up as Strider or a Balrog (Wings or no?)

Varda · 11-03-2001, 08:39 PM

well halloween has come and gone... i wasnt able to find pointy ears at any stores and i was in a rush to get SOMETHING so i just got fairy wings and went as a fairy.... but i did buy a dress that would work for future years as an Arwen costume....

As for Strider - definitely NO wings!
As for the Balrog - you choose!

Sure. Everyone make fun of the new guy!

Renille · 11-04-2001, 11:40 PM

They're really not trying to scare you off...they're just making fun of the way it came out.

Strider with wings WOULD make a very...umm... original costume, though!

***Tessar*** · 11-05-2001, 12:41 AM

Strider: IM STRIDER MAN!!!

Frodo: no your bat man

strider: ?

frodo: well you have bat wings........

strider: AAAAAAAA!!!! CURSE YOU GANDALF!! I WAS JUST KIDDING WHEN I SAID I WISHED I COULD FLY!!!!

(Gandalf in hidden behind a bolder) Gandalf: :snigger: heheh now just weight till he gets so mad a says he wishes he were dead :heheh:

No no, don´t take it like that. I would have jumped on this line, no matter who posted it!

So. Strider with wings is actually a funny notion. We must rename him: Glider!

Is 14 too old to Dress up like Gandalf and get 100 pounds of candy from my neighbors???

I was Gandalf this year! I love my costume!

Renille · 11-06-2001, 12:00 AM

Of course not...now if you had been Batman...

Varda · 11-06-2001, 12:02 AM

the dress is blue and sort of country looking... i could wear one of those long sleaved lacy shirts underneith it and it would look sort of princessy.. and then i think i'd have my hair half up with little braids that meet in back and then form a ponytail... if you guys can visualize that... and then some kind of flowers or glitter or both.... and look for elf ears early! i know they exist somewhere but looking 2 hours before i planned to be dressed up and downtown was probably not the best plan.

arynetrek · 11-06-2001, 02:35 AM

you can find them at theater-makeup & costume shops, i've seen them at magic shops also. if you're going to do them, get liquid latex to blend the edges into your skin (makeup people will give you much better instructions than i can) & good-quality makeup - latex doesn't match anyone's skin tone, again for better blending.

hope this helps.

as for Strider with wings, i too would have laughed no matter who said that. but i just can't see him with bat wings - he'd have blackish feathered wings.

of course with tolkien's idea of black=evil dark=OK this would be, um, interesting...

Strdier could have had white wings, like swan wings. Or fitting in with his personality, he could have gray Canadian geese wings!

(Oh great...now my mental image consists of a Strider head topped with a goose body...)

Last year, I was Arwen...that didn't go over well. This year, my friend's little sister's friend was a hobbit...I don't know how that went. I won't see her til Monday....

Oliver Thornton · 12-18-2001, 12:13 AM

I know this is late but I would dress in a monk's hobit and be the watcher over other travelers.
