Halloween Dalai Lama

So Halloween is fast approaching and the big debate in Casa Study Abroad has been what to wear for this momentous occasion. Now I hear in the UK and Spain, Halloween isn't a big event. I'm told in Spain the big night is Carnival. However in Ireland, we are celebrating it.

Currently in Casa Study Abroad, we are half and half with having costumes planned. Because I like to figure out things with plenty of time, I still have no idea. Generally in the past minus some creative gradeschool years and one year in college where a few friends of mine all went as Julia Roberts characters, I have alternated between a witch or hippie. Not real original ideas. Now normally I wouldn't care about figuring out a costume until about Saturday but they feel the need here to have multiple Halloween events before Halloween which requires me to get on my game regarding a costume.

So this is the conversation I had with one of my roommates earlier who had just finished carving a pumpkin and baking the seeds. (I had never had baked pumpkin seeds before, they were pretty good.)

Her: Do you know yet what you are going to be?
Me: Nope. Any suggestions?
Her: You could dress in brown and find antlers and go as a moose.
Me: What?
Her: BULLWINKLE. Find a red scarf and brown clothes and an antler.
Me: Sounds more like Rudolph.
Her: Scrap the scarf.
Me: I could just wear a mask.
Her: This is true. That is easy.
Me: Ah but then I was Phantom one year, and the mask kept irritating me.
Her: You could be suicidal. They look just like everybody else. I swear I didn't make it up, it came from the Addams Family.
Me: .... I'm speechless. Was not expecting that.

Needless to say, just like how every year Linus is in search of the Great Pumpkin, I'm still in search of the great costume. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
