Halloween costumes

joseph brand

Just wondering if there are any places to get costumes and/or masks that are good quality and not junk, like in joke shops??

I seen a site in America that does a Beetlejuice mask and full costume for around $150. See below:

Here is another site with a good Hulk mask:

The first one does not ship outside the US yet!! Useless.

I always wanted a banana costume. They're ridiculous, great for the local!

My friend wants to dress up as a bowl of porridge. You could dress all in purple and be the colour purple for Halloween.

wouldn't mind a hannibal lecter one, but once you take the mask off you've really got nothing

There is a place in Swords that claims to be Europes bigest costume warehouse.

The best halloween costume has to be just a pair of y-fronts... nothing else..

when you are asked what you came as... your reply "i came as a premature ejaculation.... i just came in my pants"

The Hulk Infant costume is the scariest. Where did they find such a gruesome mask?

I think theres a place where you can hire costumes on the street behind the store shop beside st. stephens green shopping centre (between cafe moca and peters pub). Will have more details later in the week as i have go shopping for a costume too!

There is a good place behind central bank, I think, opposite comet records!

Don't know if it's still there, but they sold manky 70's clobber, one shirt looked like it was green and someone ralphed cornflakes all over it! It was fantastic for 70's nights. Lots of mustard cord coats and bell bottom pantaloons!

Terrific!!

not everyone can afford to rent.. or buy..

a mate of mine dressed up as a priest one year but made it more interesting, he bought a priest costume on the net, with a full size plastic boy attched to the front in compromising "talking into the mic" position.

needless to say, we all thought it was hilarious, but he didnt go down to well at his girlfriends fancy dress birthday party. the folks werent impressed!

Felt and dressmakers glue are your best bets. The best costumes are the ones that are made not the ones bought.

Temple bar is the mecca for halloween costumes. Try on the street Cafe Irie is on, lots of second hand clothes shops. Also on Drury street, if you can find them amongst the sex shops

Cover cardboard boxes with tinfoil, wear them on your body and go as a crazed robot from outer space. Put a bike light on your head for extra 'techno' effect.

Anyone have any more information on that place in Swords?
God if only I'd planned this weeks earlier there are millions of sites I could have bought from...6 to 8 weeks for shipping means I'd hardly have it for Christmas....
