You guys are awesome!!  I also would have chosen JarJar, haha.  My husband, brother, son, nephew all hate JarJar!  I can't figure out why.....  I'm so glad to have found UMA. This is just the best!  Now I have to ask my husband how to use the "scanner", I didn't know we had one until last week when my sister asked if I had one.  Too cool, I have a lot more costume pics on old-timey pictures, not these new fangled digital memory chips.

Sounds like the same dynamic in our house!

Here is one of me from a few years ago:



It is a pretty easy makeup job that consists mostly of liquid latex, cotton balls and mud.

Nice Nick!

Hey--perhaps a separate thread, can you share a recipe for Mud, for us  Haunters?!

Thanks for the kind words. We just started the new party era 3 years ago, so that our grandson could experience the insanity that is a Halloween Party. The first couple years we had a mandatory "no gore" clause in the invite because we had small guests. But this year anything goes! Every kid is older, and wiser and has been subjected to my monster room, so they know what to expect. It will be pretty cool to get to raise the scary bar this year!  Back in the 80s & 90s, we had kid Halloween parties for our offspring and they sorta turned out ok   

Sounds like fun Charp!! Great pix BTW!!

OG, if yours are "sub-par" then mine are downright pathetic.

Ok Opera Ghost, since you posted Vader I figured I better counter that you darksider you:
I often dressed up as a Jedi for my store.  Best compliment I ever got was from a Mom who always brought her little girl to our store because we were so Halloween kid friendly.  She said I looked like I jumped off the screen.  We always had a great time giving out candy to the kids at our store.  We had the whole place decorated and I had loads of reenactor friends who dressed up and came out.  Spooky music was the norm and my wife always dressed up like the clown from Saw.  She scared the kids have to death.  I will search for photos but not even sure if we have any sadly.

COOLNESS Wolfie!! I love the wooded setting too.........MAN how I miss the woods. Down here we got nothing but swamps.

[Wolf Man]

Thanks, the wooded setting is my back yard.  I will have to someday tell the story of how we got this house.  It will fit right in with the UMA I am sure.

Nice Wolfie...and nice Robot/ Droid collection!!!!!!!!!!


Scatter...now I did not express my costumes as subpar, I'm just lookin for a Mud recipe for props.

All I can say is WOW!!!  These costume photos are so much fun!  The creativity is amazing and the photography is crisp and clear.  My gang needs to step up their game

Great costumes people! A nice jolt of Halloween in June.

May I quote you.......exactly?

"Awesome, Charp!  I have been getting some help setting up a Flickr account (thanks, Scatter) and I will be scanning some old Halloween pics and putting them in this thread.... My lousy costumes will make you feel better about yourself, promise.  You and I can 'round out' the spectrum with our sub-par creations, OK? Wink"

Never contradict the monkey.

Ok, Monkeyboy, this was not my quote!
