Last Saturday I dressed up like Myers from Halloween II for Halloween. In our neighborhood, little did I know, about 5 houses did this also…had someone dressed as Myers giving out candy. All we did was put a huge 40x60 Halloween II poster outside and played the soundtrack from the movie with me wondering around. Not much really. I had people freaking out! I kept being referred to as the real Michael Myers and that made the costume worth while…big smile from under the mask. We kept running out of candy so my wife kept going to the store. I counted at least 350 to 400 trick or treaters; that BLOWS away the 20 to 30 we got back in Illinois.
I wore a Nightmare and put on a winter stocking hat to give the mask that Dick Warlock bushy hair wider look that he had back in 1981. I think it worked well. I wore the exact same coveralls and as close as I could get, boots. (That is another topic to be talked about soon…)
On with the pics.
I took at hallway shot and I noticed this looks like the Halloween 4 bookcover shot, minus the darker shading.
Great shots and great costume, the cap really does its’ job.
350-400 trick or treaters is a ton. That’s like back when I was a child type numbers. Likely 100-150 more as my area is surrounded by water and the roads are from the 1600’s-1920’s with a relatively busy one cutting off my section, so a lot of kids would have not been able to cross the road by their parents’ decree. I had around 150 this year and that was the best count since the 1990’s.
Great stuff brother!! The others in your hood probably all had cheesy Myers masks and dont have the love of the character that you (we) do. You no doubt took it to that next level that is not understood by the casual Halloween lovers. The contest was over before it began. You live this stuff, so your neighbors never stood a chance. Good job buddy!!!
