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

ringbearer · 10-15-2001, 09:38 PM

(question inspired by poll found here )

This poll had only "evil" characters, though!

If I still "dressed up" for Halloween...I guess I would be Gandalf.

I suppose a Nazgul simply because I already have the long black cape and hood.

I will say this is not trick or treat for me cause I am way to old for that. So, in my case, we will make it a party. I was going to chose Galadriel, but she didn't see any action like battle and stuff. Plus, I would have to go to the party with Celeborn, and I don't think I would like that. So I think that since I would want to be an elf, and there really was not alot of exciting women elves in the books, I would pick Legolas, so I could carry around a bow all night long. Then again i wouldn't mind dressing up like Glorfindel. He was cool looking.

Ghan-buri-Ghan........ "kill gorgun!!! Drive away bad dark with bright iron!!"

Varda · 10-15-2001, 11:54 PM

Since I would want to be an elf, I would be Arwen, cause she has dark hair, and I do as well. I know she doesnt have much of a role, but I think dressing up as an elf would be enough. If I had a second choice, I would say.... an Ent... I actually dressed up as a tree one year. I rented a costume from a store that had stuff used in plays. I went to someone's party and they gave me a little bean-stuffed tree frog as a prize.

Varda · 10-16-2001, 12:05 AM

or else I would be Varda, Lady of the Stars

Tsk tsk, Sister. Doesn´t matter. (BTW I am one year older than you...)

This Halloween is going to be full of good guys? Well, I better be a Balrog then, and get the loot. They are scary!

Now Kirinki54, how would you know this? You must have been looking at old threads that go way back at that other place. And shame on you for Trick or treating at your age.

My mom made me stop when I was 12.

No need to go snooping. I was there and my memory is just fine!

Wayfarer · 10-16-2001, 04:32 PM

Try an orc. Black skin all the way.

arynetrek · 10-16-2001, 10:05 PM

too old for trick-or-treating? that's awful... this is the first year in my life i won't be going! (OK, so the last 5 years some friends & i would go xmas caroling on halloween & use the phraes 'trick or treat!" as we ran down the streets...)

now, which character would i dress up as?

hmm, can't do Luthien or Earendil, no imitation-Silmaril costume jewelry...

Sauron? Frodo? it'd be hard to disguise a finger that shouldn't be there...

a Balrog? hmm... wings, or no wings...? :P

a Hobbit? *looks at feet* maybe with enough Rogaine...

Arwen? oh, but do i wear the white/grey outfit described in "Many Meetings" or a brown leather Xena dress?

Bombadil? now really, where on earth are you going to find yellow boots?

so, by far the easiest costume choice would be -

the Watcher in the Water! all you need is your very own portable pool of dark, murky water, some tentacles which can be hacked off (by drunken revelers?) & reattached, & you're ready to party!

Sakata · 10-16-2001, 10:41 PM

I use my Ren. Fair costum every year and dress up as Éowyn, it is really cool beacuse it is all made out of real leather, and I have a sowrd w/ sheath to top it off, though I am not allowed to take it to school

Werewolf · 10-17-2001, 11:58 PM

Sakata's evil conscince: go head, take the sword with ya to school, no ones going to see it

Sakata · 10-18-2001, 12:02 AM

Hey! how do you know whats going on in my head!...I havent been saying that all out loud have I?...no my precious, no he lies..peers cautiously at Werewolf...lies precious, all lies, he knows nothing, yes, nothing precious...mummbles to herself eyeing Werewolf cautiously...

***IronParrot*** · 10-19-2001, 08:55 PM

If someone tall goes as Legolas, I could go as Gimli.

Selwythe · 10-23-2001, 09:55 AM

Tree? Beat me, I ACTED as a tree

not that I minded.

I gotta dress as a Balrog, get a spiked tail, some nice little wings, and most importantly, a spiked whip which I'll crack all night and listen to the "Ow"s.

Yellow boots? LoL, the most popular TV character in this country wears yellow boots.

And talking about this country, we don't celebrate Halloween anyway so bleh.

If you're on a tight budget, arynetek, try GHan-buri-Ghan or one of the Wild Men (or Wild Women?). You'll only need some sheaves of real or imitation long grass, .

You'll need to put on some weight though

Bregalad · 10-23-2001, 10:20 PM

If you are on a really tight budget, go as Gollum! Gollum doesn't wear clothes, let alone jewelry. He just runs around naked and dirty!
