Costume ideas for IPSC Halloween match
It's that time of year again - guns and zombies! We're going to have a giant haunted house we have to shoot out of for one of the stages, with a bunch of rooms with cobwebs and props all over the place. It should be a blast.
I need costume ideas though. Last year I did the lunatic doctor thing with a white coat and lots of blood stains. Zombies aren't a good idea, because we're supposed to shoot those... The only constraints on the costume is that I still have to wear all my IPSC gear, and of course nothing should interfere with my vision, while allowing me to wear my shooting glasses and ears. |

Dress up as a S.T.A.R.S. or Umbrella Corp memeber from Resident Evil?

Get some Halloween masks or costumes and put them on the targets instead of dressing up. Then enjoy.

LOL Slotback, the "zombies" for the shotgun portion are made with self-healing rubber. But all targets are dressed up. Hence why we shouldn't dress up as the "enemy"
Plus there are prizes for best costume, where as the best shooter only gets level 2 standings... I should also mention that my wife is also shooting in this match (on the same squad), and a couples theme might go well. Venom1956, your Resident Evil thing is interesting in light of the stage accident in Toronto a couple weeks ago that sent many zombies to hospital while making the latest movie. Imagine all these folks with intestines hanging out lying on hospital beds while there for only little bruises! |

An outfit of dark orange, with a very high stiff collar, and tell them you are an expended cartridge.

My wife's Idea, she's English. Edit: You could use the same suit and have your wife go a "Gun Moll" from the prohibition era.

If you could find his gun, you should go as Hell Boy. Target aquisition wouldnt be a problem with that firearm!

I'm thinking maybe I'd be a mummy wrapped up with that brown Halloween fabric they sell, and my wife could be that Egyptian girl the mummy got in trouble with on the original movie "The Mummy". Time is running out, and I need to start working on this ASAP! Why oh why is IPSC so hard this time of year ... |

Batman would be good but with about 100 shooters at this match, I fear it might be duplicated. Would it be really politically incorrect for me to go as "Black Dynamite"? I'm thinking big afro wig, lots of makeup, tight wide-collar shirt, and colorful wide-leg flared pants...

How about the Ghost of IPSC Past, with daisy dukes, striped knee-high sweat socks, Ernie Hill t-shirt, foam-front Colt ballcap, etc.?

Ha ha ausher very funny.
Anyway, I decided to go with egor20's idea about going as Napoleon Dynamite, but with a difference. I found a red Afro wig and a white tee-shirt. Only the shirt says: "Spank my money for 50 (25) cents" and there is a stuffed monkey with its bum sticking out that is stuck with Velcro on the shoulder. I may not win first prize for costume, but it should get some laughs from the RO and scorer! |
