Try dressing up as Kouji Kabuto from the Mazinger Z and the MazinKaiser series! It would be, like, the awesomest!

Two years ago I did Vash the Stampede, though I was never able to get the hair to stick up or properly color it. Last year was dressing up in my fencing mask and jacket, grabbing my foil and going as a fencer because I had class and work that evening- bleh.
This year I'm doing Adol Chrstin. I have a tentative plan down: I'd need a red wig ($10 maybe), a red sweater and sweat pants, a set of shining silver armor like a breastplate and boots, and a sword of similar make (probably findable at a costume shop, looking at about $20-30 or so), then throw in a sturdy pair of leather gardening gloves and you're set. The hard part will finding a suitable breastplate set up and sword that is massive enough to fit the bill given how most prop swords are. If it works well enough though, I might be wearing it to a an anime convention in Chicago next May.

I was really thinking of going as someone like trevor belmont, But I don't exactly have tons of cash but i'm still aiming for a little horror-inspired which is why I originally chose castlevania. But I cant really find anything I need. I'm really not built like a vampire hunter, I have almost no-upper body muscle.
I am told i'm a pretty guy though.
Plus i'm stuck in a 50$ price range. I've got tons of wood and woodworking tools though, and plenty of leather and leather-working tools that i know how to use

Honestly, probably nothing but chill at home.
Last year I trick or treated in my old cousins' neighborhood because in 94 I had my best Halloween there, in 04 I trick or treated there with my girlfriend... it's sad I know but thats a long back story of why that neighborhood is so special to me.
03 I went to my cousins' and we enjoyed an old 80s Hong Kong flick on their brand new HUGE TV... it was kinda surreal. It was a great night.
This year, I'm doing nada. Just gonna chill. Play some games.

I'm going to be a Cardboard Tube Samurai. Not the exact Penny Arcade style (because I never actually saw the strip that featured the CTS), but essentially what I'm planning is to wear a gi and some sandals and strap a cardboard tube to my back to stand in for a katana.
It's certainly a change from my tired old "guy wearing a business suit" cliche that I've dug myself into (2003 had me dressed as Agent Smith, while 2004 played host to my very low-budget Hercule Poirot outfit, complete with drawn-on mustache).

I have many ideas, the best of which I think is Leonard Smalls from Raising Arizona.
For those of you who haven't seen it, he's the huge guy with the shotguns on the motorcycle. The only thing I probably won't be able to get is a motorcycle.

This sucks. I'm either too tall for the costume, or the costume fits me but it's in the 100-200 price range. That And i'm creatively bankrupt - So I I've got fifty bucks to spend and -NOTHING- To fucking spend it on.
So, I'm making a set of wooden claws and going as a guy with...wooden claws.

On the other end of the spectrum, I got two incredibly awesome costume pieces that I will cherish forever.
I got a stupid plastic pimp cane (fake glitter-filled jewel on a leopard-spotted cane) and a large Italian Chef mask for the low, low price of about 18 bucks. They don't really add up to any particular character, but it just fits my sense of humor. I was planning to buy a duck costume to wear underneath, but I was tired and went home. Maybe I'll get one, and just go to a party with all the aforementioned items on and wear a sign that says, "The Internet" on it.

I had to abruptly change my plans when I was unable to find a karate gi that would fit me (the one they had at Goodwill was probably meant for a ten-year-old). So as an alternative, I have elected to go as an Old Western Gambler.
The outfit is as follows: Old, pale blue long-sleeved button down shirt, plus slacks and black shoes, plus a fancy vest and bowtie. To cement the "gambler" part, I will carry with me a deck of cards and some semi-authentic (read: of dubious origin) casino chips. I better learn how to be a good blackjack dealer, in case somebody wants to play some. Perhaps I could get out my bag of Hoyle-brand poker chips too, so we can keep "score".
And the best part is, I get to wear the outfit to work.

I was thinking about doing Ash from the Evil Dead films or Torgo from Manos: Hands of Fate, but I'm too lazy to make an outfit, and there isn't much of a trick or treat scene in my neighborhood. So I'm just gonna eat candy and watch gory horror film's.

Hm... Tarma or Strider
Tarma would be easy because there's this army surplus store in my town that I can get all of the stuff. All I need is a pair of aviators, a backpack, some pouches, a yellow vest, some baggy cargo pants, and some boots. Luckily, I already have most of that stuff!!
For the pistol, if I don't buy a prop one or a toy pistol, I might just buy an airsoft gun cuz it's weighted properly and I need to train my gun motions (damn you Ocelot).

Remember to always hold the gun directly in front of your crotch! As for me, I don't intend to act as anything or anyone.
