Costume Help & Wallpaper

Ran out of time to have a post ready last night,

since my youngest broke his leg in his soccer game.

He is in a splint until we see the doc again next week, and then it'll be in a cast.

He was going to go as Dwight Schrute from The Office for Halloween,

but with a cast on, he is going to need a new costume.

I suggested Professor Xavier from X-Men, but he didn't seem keen on that idea.

Anyone else have an idea that incorporates a broken leg into the costume?

I didn't want to skip a day in the

Countdown to Halloween completely,

so here is a desktop wallpaper I made a few years ago.

The pics I used are Michael Myers from Halloween,

Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th

and Micki, Ryan and Jack from Friday the 13th: The Series.

I believe I made this using Scrapblog.com.

Ben Cooper Costumes

When I was little, my mom made our costumes.

I remember being a clown and also a hobo.

But as we got older, we wanted more "serious" costumes.

Big kid stuff. Ben Cooper costumes.

And I don't remember which ones I wore.

I seem to think there may have been a CHiPs costume, or a Duke cousin.

But I honestly can't remember.

So, anyway, here are some Ben Cooper costumes I think are cool,

weird, or just creepy. Enjoy!

Aquaman (thanks to The Aquaman Shrine)

Why does Aquaman have a mask? He never wore a mask.

Technically, this means your costume is wearing a costume.

Meta before meta was a thing, I guess...

Dukes of Hazzard costumes.

Now that I see these, I really hope I wasn't a Duke boy.

Creepy!

The Six-Million Dollar Man

His eye is on fire...

And why did the costumes always have pictures of the characters on the chests?

Mork from Mork & Mindy

Can't decide whether this is great or creepy.

No, it's creepy.

And why does the face on the shirt look less like Robin Williams

than the oddly serious-looking mask does?

Devil & Frankenstein's Monster

So the costumes got less scary and more unsettling as time went on, I guess?
'Cause these two pretty much rock.

Samantha from Bewitched

Did Ben Cooper think she was a heavily made-up, slutty, bedraggled ho?

And this time, TWO pictures of herself on her top!

Laverne from Laverne & Shirley

Guess she had a tough day bottle-capping, since her mascara is running.

And the costume is "dressed" in what might be the worst fake clothes for any horrible plastic costume ever.

Fonzie from Happy Days

Again, you would be wearing the Fonz wearing the Fonz.

I guess it was just cool at the time.

And hey, at least the nose on this costume gave you some breathing room!

Sleestak from Land of the Lost

Okay, they made it less creepy in one sense,

and more creepy in a totally different way.

Sheesh...

Clown

Seriously, why are clowns so damn creepy???

Do you all have a favorite Ben Cooper costume memory?
