Happy Halloween from WoW.com and Massively

Halloween is being celebrated in worlds beyond Azeroth and our own, too. All month long, our sister site Massively has been covering the numerous celebrations going on in the various ongoing MMOs, from Free Realms' Spooky Spectacular to Aion's Harvest Revel. If you're interested in any of those, head on over to Massively's Halloween roundup to check out their coverage, as well as a screenshot gallery of some holiday eye candy from those many games. Some of the events were quite cool, so I highly recommend taking a look. Guild Wars still has some pretty fantastic aesthetics.
As long as you're all here, I'm curious: Are you dressing up today? If so, what's your costume? If it's something WoW-related, we would love pictures! And are you taking anybody Trick or Treating, or will you be giving out candy? Personally, I'm dressing up as a chubby computer nerd (it's a classic) and handing out Dum Dums by the handful.

Why do we keep saying it ends Nov. 2nd? The in game calendar clearly says it ends tonight.

You're right it's the Day of the Dead that ends on the 2nd. Hallow's end is over at 12am tonight.

Yeah, it ends tonight.

"I'm dressing up as a chubby computer nerd"
Do you even need to dress up for that?
Har har. It was too easy, I'm sorry.

I'm going as a hunter from left for dead, here's pretty much what i looked like at last night's party (not me, but might as well be...we looked the same)

I'm going to be walking around campus in my Enigma, confusing people with my Personal Soundtrack Shirt from ThinkGeek. I love being a nerd. >=D

Rorschach all the way. Obscurity for the win.
Jeff Oct 31st 2009 1:47PM
Now that the movie's out, I don't know how obscure that's gonna be...
Reuben Oct 31st 2009 2:39PM
Yeah, I don't think you're going to have obscurity on your side. If this were two years ago, then sure.
Nazgûl Oct 31st 2009 2:44PM
Damn the movie. It worked last year, no one knew.
Morningbell Oct 31st 2009 6:35PM
I went as Rorschach to a party when he was still obscure!

trick or treat

I was really hoping you were right about Halloween ending on Nov 2nd, as my mage STILL needs the pumpkin hat (main and other 2 alts are finished). Extra time would be nice :(

Going around dressed as TF2 characters. Going around as a SPYCRAB, complete with cigarette/disguise book.
I was never really on your side.

With the economy, people have been moving out of my city to other cities with better job markets. The amount of kids each year seems to be going down. Just as an example, we had 3-4 hours of kids at the door trick or treating when we first moved in in 2006. Last year over an hour's time, only 10 trick or treaters showed up.

I'm gonna use my dinosaur costume again. So far it's been used for Bub from Bubble Bobble and Godzilla. Tonight, it'll be T-Rex from Dinosaur Comics. I'll probably just say "frig" a lot.

I'm dressing as a pirate queen. :)

I have two teenagers and a younger kid - I don't have time to dress up this year. :P
Last year I went as a quest giver, complete with yellow exclamation point. Only one person got it.
