Click to viewThe coolest holiday of them all is almost upon us , and we ’ve done our best to groom you . We ’ve made a handful of costumesuggestions . We asked your fellow readers tosharetheir get - ups with you . And today , we offer you one of our most valuable military service : what not to wear on the big day , should you choose to pay homage to a superhero or villain . Scorn , ridicule , embarrassment - all will fudge you if you follow our seven elementary rules of thumb . void dressing up as late character played by tragically straggle actors . call back when Brandon Lee dead died from an dreadful gas pedal mishap while filming 1994 ’s The Crow , and then everybody decided they had to dress up up as his fictitious character for Halloween ? It ’s like déjà vu all over again this year with the untimely death of pathetic Heath Ledger . Aye , we know we ’ll get a lot of flak for this one - but we challenge you to not be yet another imitator in a throng of Ledger - inspired Jokers .
For the dearest of god , do n’t get bare or semi - nude . The Hulk , Dr. Manhattan , Fat Cobra , The Silver Surfer , Witchblade , Red Sonja . Each seems like a good idea , what with the saving on the slump and those outfits not demand much expensive clothing . But save it for Comic - Con , will ya ? You ’re among civilian now . And you may as well be nude or semi - bare if you ’re wearing spandex . We ’re tattle to you , tummy - belly Spider - Man ! Unless you ’re playing one - half of the Ambiguously Gay duet - their garb a deadpanned parody of ill - fitting poly - blending and comic - record book machismo - it ’s good to keep your special piddling vacation package to yourself .
end to anything disco music . There are right smart too many ’ 70s - ish wrongdoer to name , so we ’ll single out just two : Dazzler and Hypno Huster . C’m on , do you really need to look like an duplicate from Xanadu ? extension : powerful accessory , logistical nightmare . They ’re gallant and dramatic . You ’ll also whack every person you walk by , Hawkman / girl . So if you desire to be sleep with as that loggerhead with no spacial awareness … on second thought , we ’d enjoy seeing you negotiate your way through a doorway . overturn !
Just because a costume sounds awesome in hypothesis , does n’t mean you wo n’t look like a douchebag wearing it . Haitian mysic Brother Voodoo looks like a badass , powerful in high spirits priest . Which is nerveless and everything - until someone criminate you of being antiblack . As for Preacher ’s Arseface ? Few possess the charisma to get away with portray an unsuccessfully self-destructive Kurt Cobain fan . The funny - looking MODOK , however , is all variety ofright . Stay clear of any wardrobe that an American Gladiator / wrestler could theoretically wear . We ’re talkin ’ Booster Gold , The Falcon , Power Man , and Vartox ( whoa there , Tom Selleck , no need to show off the bear chest ! ) . Granted , there can be a fine line of credit of distinction , but this will make a world of difference . We have faith in you .
