Anyone been a skydiver for halloween?

I was just think about how weird it would be to be at a Halloween party and see a dude with a jumpsuit, helmet, goggles, and fully rigged up ready to jump just walking around...might be good for next year after I finally buy a rig.

Hmm, I sure see a lot of costumes of the non-ghoul type; cavemen, fire fighters, cowboys, and princesses. Skydiver wouldn't be the worse choice of all, although I haven't used that costume yet.

Here's one I threw together with an old shirt and a couple of masks.

Amazing how you got 1 really pretty one and 3 ghouls

I get that a lot.



Waitress, I forgot to mention Hooters waitress as a great costume. Certainly not ghoulish, but always a favorite.

Ok, please forgive the ignorance, but is that really a Hooter's waitress, your daughter or Valinda (your wife)?

How embarrassing! Yes, that's me.

If going as a skydiver for halloween seems weird to another skydiver then no wonder most non-skydivers think we are nuts. Actually I went as a skydiver for halloween in 07 and everyone thought it was a cool getup. Of course I did not use my rig, I borrowed an old container and stuffed it with laundry. Huh, wasn't there a movie in the 70's that had a guy jump from an airplane, throw his pilot and all that came out was his laundry? Good thing I didn't drink to much that night since I went jumping the next day.

Some of that old gutter gear would make a cool little costume, old school and all. I'd stuff it with bubble wrap or wadded up newspapers for comfort. Even jumpers would probably get a kick out of that old stuff.

First rule of any costume is that you can drink while wearing it.

oddly enough, that was my ONLY issue at Elsinore

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

A freefly suit makes a nice clown suit. You just need a goofy hat and juggling balls to complete the outfit.

This is definitely one of those cultural difference things. You have to dress spooky over here.

YUP other wise they should change it to "Fancy Dress" night, not Halloween

How's yours doing?

For us it's more costumes and candy (or beer for the grownups), more of a secular holiday than Dawn of the Dead. But the ghoul angle still applies, just not a hard, fast rule.

I've seen more than one really sexy ghoul/vampire/undead costume, though.
