If you dress as Joker for Halloween..you deserve a kick in the balls...

I think it's very funny that they totally have a few people from SHH in the lineup. All I have to say is this...

To all the people dressing as Joker from SHH and beyond, if you do it right and have the "look", bravo! If not, well...kudos anyway. If you can pull it off that's wonderful. I want to walk down the street on Halloween and see a Joker that scares the crap out of my kid just like the movie. Maybe even so spot on that it will unnerve my wife and my self as well.

If you're going to be the Joker, do it up right. I know alot of people on here have been working very hard on costumes, scars, make-up, etc. Keep up the good work, and let's show people that it's not just a costume, but a tribute. Go now clowns! Make us all proud!

Everyone and their mother will be the Joker this year. Wait a few years if you want to do it.

I agree completely.... even though I'm also dressing up as the joker for Halloween. I'm sure everyone has said that they planned on doing it since they first got glimpses of Mr. Ledger as the Joker but I actually have. I always get excited about Halloween and plan for it almost a year in advance, whether the idea is cool or not at the time. Last year I dressed as a Clockwork Orange droog and I think I was pretty spot on.

While I think its great that people are being the Joker in support of the movie and character, I think that some people look ridiculous. The makeup looks more Beetlejuice than Joker on some folks and the fit of some of the clothes (which is as important as color and pattern) is pretty bad. Not that any of my stuff (except for maybe the shirt which is in the process of being made) is screen accurate but the colors and fit are pretty good. It probably doesn't hurt either being 6' tall, having a slim/athletic build, and having naturally wavy long hair. Anyway, I still enjoy seeing the pickups on this board and wish people luck on Halloween.

I'm sure I probably sounded like a *****e but thats just my two cents. I guess I just wanted to rant because every time I'm asked what I'm gonna be for Halloween I get the old "Ha, you and everyone else".

Darn it, I didn't make the list!

I think it realy matter where you live, and how you plan to costume. If you live in a big city, then yes, theres going to be a TON of people dressing up as the Joker. I live in a small town, where people are afraid of black purses. So I don't think I'll have any probolem seeing a few kids dressed up, but I doubt mabey 1 or 2 adults will dress up (In general, overall.) . For the past 20 years I've only EVER seen mabey 10 people older than 15 years of age dress up. So I'm not realy confident that "EVRYONE and their MOTHER will be dressing up". Anyway around here.

I also beleive it matters how you do it, if you practice "being" the Joker in character before you go out for the festivites, or otherwise. I think you'll find a ton of people in Rubies costumes talking in their regular voices acting like idiots, while most of us more serious costumers will be in character most of the time, in nice custom outfits. Just my 2 cents.

Considering that everyone in my area has told me to be the Joker, I'm not too worried. I've been practicing my Joker voice around my friends since the movie came out, so if anyone else in my area does dress up as the Joker, my friends will know that I've been planning it longer.

The joker masks at K-mart have sold out.

I see Darkvengeance was over there, stickin' up for us.......he's fighting a losing battle with those idiots...

I plan to go to a costume party with some friends, and go for candy on Haloween, I don´t think a lot of people would dress up like the Joker, when I went to the theater the first day I was the only one dressed up like the Joker, I think people here are too shy or maybe I am too crazy, don´t know, I just have a lot of fun. Whatever the other people thinks is their problem.

man i dunno what i hate more... biased media or pointless blogs.

probably pointless blogs... because all it boils down to is the guy who wrote it was like 'damn, there are alot of people doing alot to be the joker for halloween and some of them arent even that good', which, is a pretty accurate observation and posted some pics.

BUT trying to play it off like every person is doing it to 'look cool' isn't accurate... or saying that because alot of people are doing it that its just a fad of some sorts.

i guess voting in '08 pres race is gonna be the biggest fad of all time?

come on, 40 year olds have been dressing up as every freakin star trek character down to a damn tribble for decades... BUT a buncha 20 somethings can't dress up as the joker for halloween one time of the year, right after the movie!

look at it this way... times were much darker when the movie Tron was popular:

^Amen brother.

I've been a Batman fan for 16 years. I read the comics. I've been following TDK since any BB sequel talk was released. I took place in most of the viral marketing. I spent an ungodly amount of money on Batman merch. I studied Heath's Joker with all you guys so much that it was creepy. I seen TDK 7 times.

And guess who I'm gonna be for Halloween?

The Joker.

You know why? Because I'm a fan. I'm a huge fan. And when "everyone" dresses up as Joker on Halloween, you'll see the difference between the true fans and fake ones. Do what you want. Because the guy who wrote that article is going to be sitting on his mom's couch alone watching Family Ties on Halloween.

I mean, come on, he think Electric Sixx's costume is bad? WTF? That's blasphemy.

 

[DarthVeach]

Then I guess we'll all be one big maniacal Clown Army and whoop a$$ on all these idiot nay-sayers!!

 

[Mrs.J]

yea i saw DV on there too!

But seriously what dumba** would write blogs about hating on people dressing as The Joker for Halloween? This dumb***** obviously doesnt have much to do--and how did he know that these people where dressing up unless he searched for it---probably to find ideas for his costume! MORON!

But seriously who gives a flying ***** about what anyone else thinks? I cant wait to dress up! I look forward to it!! and i dont care what anyone wants to say about!

 

[Caped Crusader]

Damn.. Emos have nothing better to do

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

I COMMENTED ON THIS!!!!

I saw this and I somewhat agree thats its trendy, but I defended all the Batman fanboys, if you look at it im on the bottom of the statements im there defending my fellow fanboys!!

 

[Caped Crusader]

I think the people who arent hardcore fans likes us will be crappy jokers

just my 2 cents

 

[ClownPrince79]

Holy Crap I'm #10 that was pretty bad but man have I come a looooong way!

HahahahHAhahaHahaHa!!!

 

[Hulk1968]

whoops. double post.
duh.

 

[Hulk1968]

What a ****ing *****ebag.
If I see this ****er on Halloween Night,
I've got a "magic trick" for him and his
whole posse'. It's just his ****ing opinion anyway, and
opinions are like *******s, everyone has one.
****ing ******ed prick *********r **********er.

Yeah, ******s like this really bring out the monster in me.
And I do have alot of anger issues, but this gets my blood boiling!!

I think you summed it up just perfectly.

Why is Electric Sixx on there? D:< There is absolutely nothing wrong with his costume.

Yeah, when I seen that pic of you on there I was like "WTH?". You have a great costume AND you have the best Joker makeup I've seen IMO.

That's what I thought. It just proves even more that this blog has no idea what it's talking about. I frequently visit 3 costuming boards and Electric Sixx was the 1st guy to do a screen accurate TDK Joker. And he's still one of the best.

HahahahHAhahaHahaHa!!!

you sure have come a long way. oh and i think i figured out what joker(s) you remind me of. a three way cross between classic jim aparo, marshall rogers, and of course the dark knight.

 

[Electric Sixx]

The joker is the most popular costume this year, and there's always the insecure ones who have to hate anything popular to feel cool and counterculture. I'm not losing any sleep over it, although I do wish he'd have picked some more recent pictures of us.

 

[Mrs.J]

yea that was probaby intentional---he chose the pictures you guys did doing test runs.
I think its ironic how he says you guys suck but the joker thread alone has the most views because people roam in and out getting ideas from the stuff you guys come up with and the pictures you post.


EDIT***

and BTW--clown prince and Electric Sixx you guys have one of the best costumes around!! The progess you guys have made and the effort is just amazing!!!
