Last ditch Halloween costumes
Posted by Dan October 30th, 2007 at 11:13am In Arrested Development Chuck Friday Night Lights Grey's Anatomy Heroes Pushing Daisies
Halloween’s tomorrow, as you know.
What am I doing to celebrate? Well, not much — thanks for asking. Probably just going to sit around at home, watch Pushing Daisies and wonder what would happen on the off-chance I got a trick-or-treater. If I do get a munchkin, chances are I’ll probably tell them to wait while I dig up the miniature jar of cherry preserves I’ve had for the better part of the ’00s.
If, however, you’re an ambitious mid-week partygoer, and you still haven’t come up with a costume idea, here are some ideas for you to try out.
For couples:
Ned and Chuck (Pushing Daisies):
He wears:
- Long sleeved tee/sweater
- Holds a pie.
She wears:
- A vibrantly colored sun dress.
Both wear:
- Gloves on one hand. You must hold hands all night with the gloved hand.
For the ladies:
Lucille Bluth:
- A martini glass
- Pearls
- Shawl affixed with a brooch.
Meredith Grey:
- Scrubs
- A scowl
For the gentlemen:
Nathan Petrelli:
- Fake beard
- Business suit
- Harness
- Some sort of crane on wheels so you can attach the harness and hover all night (you’ll need a patient friend to wheel you around and hand you drinks)
Chuck:
- White, button-down short-sleeved shirt
- Nametag
- Uncontrollable nervous energy
Eric Taylor (Friday Night Lights):
- Track jacket
- Stubble
- Arrange it so that most people remain oblivious to you at the party, except for two or three people who are obsessed with you.
Anybody else have any ideas? I wanted to go further with this but I’m sleepy.

The last one is my favorite. But you’ll also need a clipboard or small binder to carry in the back of your pants. Essential coach detail.

This weekend I saw around two or three people dressed like that Jermaine (glasses and sideburns dude — sorry, I don’t have HBO) from Flight of the Conchords.

[...] new episode of Reaper reminded Kyle of the new DVD package of Twin Peaks. Also, we suggested some last-minute TV-oriented Halloween costumes inspired by Pushing Daisies and Heroes. [...]

I’m actually thinking about doing Chuck from Pushing Daisies. I have a white full skirted dress with pomegrante colored polka dots, brown cardigan and I am going to wear a wide brimmed hat w/sunglasses.
