This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Kim Hollis: Sunday is Halloween. Do you have any costume suggestions?

Josh Spiegel: I'm not a big Halloween person, so off the top of my head, I would love to see a group of people attempt to re-enact the various shots from Inception where - spoiler alert for the three of you who haven't seen the film or heard about it - Leonardo DiCaprio and company are floating in slow-motion while the van they're in plummets into a river. I have no idea who could pull it off, or how, but someone out there must have something up his or her sleeve, right?

Tim Briody: Either the Chilean miners or the Rent is Too Damn High guy, provided you've got the facial hair for it.

Brett Beach: I never had any fond memories of Halloween as a child which kept me from ever wanting to take part in it as an adult. That said, back in 2004 I tied for first at my office party by going as a member of Devo (they actually have a Devo kit with cheap plastic flowerpot and yellow haz-mat suit) and two years ago, I finally ventured out on Halloween night for the first time, dressed as Waldo (my girlfriend at the time went not as Wanda, but one of the Waldo almost-but-not-quite lookalikes.) It was a night of much fun and good drinking. So either of those would be good and timeless. This year, Jodi and I are taking Finn out in a bumblebee outfit for his first taste of the insanity.





Bruce Hall: I will never be able to top my Sophomore year in college, when I dressed as James T Kirk, and my ex wife and her best friend went with the Uhura outfit and the beehive haircuts. We had a Shatner wig, phasers, tricorders, and stayed in character for 48 hours straight.

I even had a death scene. Rumor has it people on campus still talk about it.

First star to the right, straight on till morning. my work here is done.

Kim Hollis: The "duh" answer here is Ramona Flowers, of course. Who wouldn't want to be her? I also think some of the new Toy Story characters would be fun - Lotso, Mr. Pricklepants, Ken.

David Mumpower: There are so many options for these things, but the best answer fell in our laps overnight. Get a date, walk into the party, shove her in the closet and have her start screaming. Then, pretend to sniff anything you can get your hands on and wait until the person dressed up as a cop says, "That's enough, Mr. Sheen. I'm going to have to read you your rights." Alternately, put your arm in a sling and go as Tony Romo. Is it retro yet to jump on someone's couch and claim that you're stomping the Xenu out of their furniture?
