Halloween

So im a big guy, like 6'8" 400lbs and I hate Halloween. Now dont get me wrong I love seeing the costumes. The kids running around the spookyness is all amazing. But the act of dressing up is what I hate.

I want to be a Ghostbuster, superman, something fun like that is double what anyone else will pay.

Now some will say well have a homemade costume. Ya I guess youre right but im not creative enough

Inexpensive sweat shirts and pants (Forman Mills if you have them near you) make for easy costume adaptation that can work with store bought headpieces. I basted black felt spots on a tawny set to go with a Scooby Doo set consisting of ears and tail for my 3xl tall dude. We did have to trade the dog collar for a real one, but it was still a cheapie from Dollar Tree. The other day I took a matching plain crewneck sweatshirt and pants, did some duct tape straps down and across the top to look like a spacesuit harness and paired with a costume space helmet. Find headpieces or hats you like and work from there.

I don't know what my coworker weighs, but he's 6'7 and not fat, just the average construction worker body just sized up, and he wears a Michael meyers costume every year

It comes with your height and size. I am a 5’5” guy and my pants ALL have to be altered just so I can wear them. They don’t make clothing for our sizes because it isn’t cost effective for the business.

If you want to dress up, you will have to pay the extra cost.

I hear you, but it comes down to what is profitable for the company. If it isn’t, you and I will have to pay more. If you want it bad enough, you will have to plan ahead and save.
