    What do you mean if?

    This year I am going as Ash Ketchum, my wife is going as Umbreon.

    Last year I was Pikachu and she was Ash, the year before I was Pikachu and she was Misty.

    I own a local game shop and we stand out front a hand out candy.

    Darth Vader. Every year, since I own the helmet and my wife made me an approximation of the cloak. It’s got a long way to go before it looks accurate, but the helmet and saber do the heavy lifting.

    Of course, last time I took one of my kids trick or treating, I was entirely blind between the dark lenses and my breath fogging them up. I could sometimes see streetlights enough to aim myself approximately down the sidewalk.

    I do not recommend.

    I had this idea yesterday.

    get a harness, hang myself on a tree branch by the road,. wear makeup to look like a Halloween decoration, don’t move.

    wait for passersbys to walk next to me thinking I’m just a decoration, scare the shite out of them while I yeet candy at them.

      You can do it in a chair just fine if you want.

      Just stuff your clothes with straw so you look like a scare crow and don’t move until they approach you.

      A neighbor used to do this to us in the 80s and it was always terrifying/hilarious.

    I don’t know. I have a costume for the Spanish Inquisition, but I need ideas since the party theme is elements.
