Every Halloween when I was a kid, my mom would make me these awesome costumes from scratch. I'd simply tell her what I wanted to be, and she'd slay it every time: "Mom! I wanna be a shark!" "No problem there, Eric. How about working jaws that can crush a full keg?" "What about the car from Back To The Future?!" "Hitting 88mph should be no problem at all!" "I wanna be an amino acid!" "Looks like I'll only need one hand to complete this costume. I'll use the other one to build you a robot." I can assure you, if anything, I'm downplaying how it really went down. The amount of candy, fame and babes I got with these costumes was unfathomable.
Here's me as Egon from Ghostbusters, and a boxing champ. The Proton pack on my Ghostbusters costume was fully functional, but unfortunately my brother (Who was dressed as Winston) and I got carried away and ending up crossing the streams. That ended Halloween pretty quick for us that year... (Note: The robe on my boxing champ costume was also fully functional.)
As you can see by the amount of girls surrounding me in this picture, my Sonic the Hedgehog costume did not disappoint. I couldn't seem to find a picture of me running loops at subsonic speeds (probably too fast to catch on film) but let me assure you, it happened.
So what's in store for this year's amazing costume, you might ask? Is it a jet?! Is it Cuba?! Is it the wind from "The Happening"?! Or perhaps a ZOMBIE CYBORG SOLID GOLD SEAN CONNERY?!....
.....mmm nope. I'm just going to wear that elf costume again..
