Damn, you're a dead ringer for my stepfather. Is it a requirement that men in Texas over a certain age grow a goatee? Luckily I don't recognize those two kids.

I'm not dressing up, so I guess I'll just go out as "the most dangerous terrorist threat to our nation" like I do every single day by just being a White male conservative. Ooh, scary!

We will be spending Halloween weekend RVing with our 4 and 2 year olds. Since the whole weekend will be very kiddo oriented, I’ll be going as Hagrid, and my wife will be going as Bellatrix LeStrange.

There's a thought. The Crazy Gun Dealer already has that shtick down though.

i tried a mustache a decade or more ago but the lt. dangle and jeff foxworthy jokes here were too much because @zhukov is a bully

i'd try it again now that i'm older but the kids have never seen me otherwise and i'm not sure the wife would like it. which are all good reasons to do it...

I’ve got too much tac gear in my truck. I’m thinking of making a blue UN helmet cover (with bullet holes) and going as a zombie. Might also be a good excuse to dust off the nods.

You deserved all the ridicule you got.

As time moves on, you're naturally growing into your role as grumpy old bastard so you go that going for you.

I'm making an Alien movie chest burster for a costume for my nieces Halloween night wedding, where everyone will be dressed up. I used and modified the head part of an old Alien model kit, adding detail for the "body" part on a piece of PVC pipe and cut some spare tin to make the chest mount for it that will be held on with elastic and velcro.

I've got young kids...No way I'm getting away with going as just Dad.

I typed apocalyptic steampunk cowboy into Bing AI image generator and it gave me this. I've got everything to pull it off...not sure I want to wear the vintage German gas mask though.

When I was a kid I saw a baseball cap at a prank shop that was essentially a penis head with a bill

After 9/11 I spent that Halloween in Manhattan dressed up like a sheik with a toy AK and that hat topping off my costume

I couldn’t buy myself a drink the entire night and everywhere I went people were stopping me to take pics with them

I wonder if I still have that costume in storage somewhere…

Years ago I bought a Detroit hat to go with shorts and a Hawaiian shirt for a Magnum costume, but I then realized that I hate Halloween parties and just stuck it in my closet. Every once in a while I see it and think maybe I will wear it one day, but quickly remember that I don't like Halloween parties.

I used to go as Darth Vader when I used to walk with my kids when they were little. They are too big for Darth Dad now.

As a man, who’s got little kids, and not afraid to let my hair down once in a while, and giving no fucks of what the “manly man” think of it, I went as fat Thor this year. My belly was made up of my covert Bloody Mary kit.

This was me a couple years ago. We walked around trick or treating with friend's son. I had a Bluetooth speaker in my pocket playing creepy moaning ghost sounds. Kids literally crossed the street as we approached and a couple kids cried when their parents brought them up to me. I'm 6'3" and had boots on, so I was probably pretty imposing. The only thing that went wrong was the black face mesh kept my breath inside and it was pretty cold that night, so the clear safety glasses that I mounted the LED "eyes" to kept fogging up.
