BC.com Does Halloween
October is an urgent month. Before the snow falls, you climb insatiably, trying to grope enough granite to quell your lust ‘til next season, and the first storms find you obsessively pursuing skiable stashes. Amidst these frantic forays, it’s easy to forget about coming up with a killer Halloween costume. Last year’s nudist-on-strike outfit was pretty clever, but that kind of slackage won’t fly twice.
So how do you come up with a cred-worthy costume without neglecting new snow or ditching out on the last desert camping trips? Easy—just use your gear. We came up with some costumes that’ll help get your idea-wheel reeling. WARNING: some of them appeal to the lowbrow crowd.

Cougar / Q-Tip
Glob on the makeup, glue on the ruby red fingernails, and grab the buttocks of any male under 30. This costume also doubles as ‘your mom’.
For the Q-Tip, blue base layers, a white beanie, and white booties are all you need. Don’t forget to swab your friends. Personal hygiene, people.

A.k.a: ‘bird-watcher.’ This is one of your more versatile costumes. Trade the binoculars for a fanny pack, and you’re instantly a computer engineer who hangs out at the zoo on weekends.

Flashing is usually a male profession. But we didn’t have any men’s trench coats. If you’re too prudent to go commando under your jacket, wear some running clothes beneath it.

The original Oompah Loompah is creepy enough, but this 6’4, mustachioed Oompah Loompah breeches a whole new realm of creepiness. Take it a step further by painting your face orange and getting a friend to dress up as a giant blueberry.

Chimney Sweep / Ozone-Hole Survivor
Chim-chiminy, chim-chiminy, chim chim cheree, when you’re with a sweep, you’re in glad company… Add soot-colored face powder and a cockney accent for the full effect. If you happen to be Halloweening on the rooftops of London, watch out—Dick Van Dyke might challenge you to a sweep-off.
As for the ozone-hole survivor—there’s always someone who can’t pass up the opportunity to make a political/social/environmental statement with his or her costume. You might as well be that person.
