This is my costume for this year. I tried it out tonight at a birthday party, and it had the desired effect (creeping people out).
Anyone know what it is, before I say it?

Either a Rorschach Ink Blot or a cow pooped on your face.
The invisible man?
One of you is definitely really close, but I’m pretty sure at least one person who reads this will know exactly who it is.
Rorschach
Rorschach is a superhero featured in the acclaimed 1986 DC Comics series Watchmen. (thanks wikipedia)
Yep, Kristi got it, although I’m sure Nathan would have once he saw it too.
Watchmen is a book released in the mid-80’s by Alan Moore (the guy who wrote the original V for Vendetta book before it) that takes a “darker” approach to the super-hero comics genre. They’re supposed to be making a movie out of this one too, but they’ve been saying that forever, so who knows if it will ever happen. If it eventually does, though, at least I will have been ahead of my time.
It was pretty fun though walking around in the costume, though. Some people were visibly surprised / scared when they first saw it, and more were just too creeped out to look at me in the face for too long, I think because they can’t make eye contact or read facial expressions. It was pretty fun. If I ever become a professional poker player, I’m definitely going to make this my trademark (instead of sunglasses, etc.)
These pictures don’t show this, but I think I refined it a bit after that first close-up one was taken, by adding a few more safety pins to get rid of the slack of the mask around the neck, so it fit my head a little better.
Cool. I think I should get a prize, cause I didn’t know about the comic book guy, I just recognized the ink blot. Do I get points for that?
I knew it was some dumb DC character.
Jacquie, if I were awarding prizes or points, I would give you some. What the heck, I’ll give you 200 points for coming up with that one.
Dan - did you like V for Vendetta?
The movie, never heard of the book before that.
Well, this time you may want to do yourself a favor and read the book first, because I’m sure the movie version of this one will probably totally suck compared to the book, as opposed to V, which I liked the movie adaptation of (not as much as the original book, but it was still good).
PS - I was pretty sure 99% of the people I saw wouldn’t recognize it, and I think it kind of added to the effect, because at this point when you see a recognizable scary costume, I think most people kind of filter it out already, whereas when people see one like this that they haven’t seen before it makes them stop and look more.
He scares me. Not as bad as the Question does from the DC Universe.
you should just dress up like alan moore. he just got married:
