Thank you to all who entered in the Creepypasta Costume Contest (2015).
Here is a link where you can view the costumes. Thanks for entering and putting time into your costumes. We hope to see you next year with even more costumes.
So remember last year where we did that costume contest during October and a bunch of you guys put my costume to shame (and Jay's costume gave me erotic nightmares)? Yeah, let's do that again.
So a brief re-introduction. The Halloween costume contest is to showcase some of the more creative and artistic users by allowing them to submit their costumes/cosplays from their favorite horror/sci-fi movies, literature, t.v. shows. At the end of submissions, a select few will be announced winners and could have their submissions entered into the Nightmare Fuel section and gain bragging rights/renown.
Rules
Costumes from creepypasta-based characters (Like Jeff the Killer, Laughing Jack, Slenderman, and others) WILL be part of the contest this year. That being said, originality trumps recognition. If we have a dozen Jeff the Killer costumes, the chances of you winning are going to be very slim. So think outside the box.
Submissions must be your own. No looking up photos that you didn’t make and submitting them. I’m not going to ask for proof or authenticity or anything like that, just putting you all to an honor code.
No store-bought costumes, you can buy items and make-up to accentuate your design; just not a store-bought costume that requires zero effort.
No sabotaging or removing other people’s submissions from the submission page. (That one should be fairly obvious.)
Time Frame
Let's set down a schedule so we can keep everything organized. We will start accepting submissions October 18th, 2015 and we will close the submissions November 1st, 2015. Depending on how many submissions we have, the judges could be done in a few days or a week.
Onto the judges: we will need to elect some people to select five or ten costumes and from there we can possible do a poll or leave it up to the judges.
I’m making this post early so you all have time to plan. Feel free to comment below if you have some suggestions, want to nominate a judge (Closed.), or just have some unanswered questions. Best of luck to you all.
Rather than make a second page for entries, we will be using this forum post as a means for submitting your entries. The period for submissions will begin Oct. 18th and will close Nov. 1st. Note that any submissions before or after those dates will be removed and disqualified.
To enter:
Simply attach one to three photos of your costume in a comment below. (Do not add more than three photos as it will clutter up up the page.)
List the costume character/give a brief explanation if it is original.
You can comment on other people's costumes, but do not put your costume picture in a reply on another user's post. Each submission should be separate from other users so as to easily identify (and if need be, remove submissions that violate the rules set above)

Do you have to be an administrator or a Creepypasta patron to judge?
All required for you to be a judge is to be active on the site.
Now I have 2 more questions.
a. State the duration of active. Active can mean a broad range of times in wikia so I need you to be a little more specific.
b. Active in forums or on the wiki in general. Just as a reassurance.
Post Script: You do not have to read my rambling in the paragraphs below
You know what? I think I might do a job of a being a judge instead of a contestant because there is no point for me. I'd either muck up and be known as "that" user and even if I won or did well, I'd still be a nobody and to be honest I really don't want to brag about making a costume and the troubles outweigh the good IMAO.
To be frank, I'd go through the trouble and work myself up to an administartor (couldn't really find anything more difficult, but that's beside the point) rather than dressing up. Nothing against those who join, just ranting my opinions on the matter.
Any ways, I'm rather curious why this announcement is going rather unnoticed.
I 0nce again lack the materials neccessary t0 c0nstruct a c0stume but I w0uld be happy t0 judge again this year. Always l0ve t0 see pe0ple's creative talents at w0rk with these things.
And f0r the l0ve 0f all that is g00d... Jay, please warn us this time... please...
Perhaps it w0uld be better if y0u didn't sp0il the surprise and tell us what y0u're g0ing t0 be. Remember, the p0int 0f this c0ntest is t0 w0w the judges, s0 save them the anticipati0n.

Maybe it would be wise to listen to this gentleman, folks.
I guess I'll have no chance in this contest; I'm being Squirrel Girl (Yes, she is a real superhero by Marvel, and yes, she did defeat Doctor Doom with her army of squirrels. If you don't believe me, look it up on Wikipedia.)
T-T I probebly wont win or anything, but I was just randomly looking around the wiki and I saw this. Considering the rules say I can use creepypasta, I'm going to submit my costume which I already have the parts for ^-^ Yay, Brvr costume is a go!

Besides the Tick, she is the best superhero ever.
Of all time.
Of course, their's always the question of HOW she defeated almost every villan in marval cannon ^-^

Forgiving the spelling errors, I will spill light on how a squirrel defeated supervillians left and right.
Maybe I'm stupid for not understanding the post, but does the costume have to be someone, like a creepypasta, anime character etc, or can it just be completely made up?
Also, it would be great if I can judge, although I'm still fairly new ;p
Well, I haven't been on in a while xD

It's basically up to you with how you want to proceed. Last year's winner was completely original. As for judging, we currently have a number of applicants who we are awaiting responses on. If they don't respond by Monday might, we can see. (However that'll mean you can't enter in the contest. (You can still participate, you just aren't eligible to win.)

I don't mind ^-^ but alright, that'll be great, thanks c:
Please, every0ne, d0n't ruin the fun by all dressing up as Jeff and Slenderman. If at all, maybe try t0 limit the number 0f entries 0n specific characters? We all have m0re fun when every0ne uses their creative talents the best they can f0r these.
I'm gonna say it one more time, so all further comments are clear...
As Empy said, a dozen Jeff costumes won't win. last year, an OC won it all, so try desperately to be completely original. Or, at least, use a lesser known character. Thanks guys.

Although I can see the "best" Jeff costume begging to get an honourable mention. Even if it WAS good, I would have to think about it.

wow, how am I just now seeing this? Is it too late to enter? I want to see if I can actually win this year, instead of just People's Choice.
Submissions close the 1st of November. Best of luck, you did a great job last year, I hope you got another good one in mind for us.
I don't really have a favorite character but I have a Russian gas mask, a West German army uniform, and an American WWII helmet so I will dress up as a Nazi zombie lol

This thread went from goofy fun, to serious business in a matter of one post. Let's not let it completely derail, though.

It can go back to being fun as long as users don't try to steal other people's work. I don't think that's a very taxing request.

Well the mojority of people are going to be submitting their photos October 31st maybe make it end November 2nd to gove people one more day to upload their halloween photos. I'm personally not going to be submitting until Halloween cuz there is no point changing into my costume just to take a photo and then get out of it and I need to put some defog on my gas mask I actually have a bottle of it from SCUBA but toothpaste works well(although it makes a mess).

I think giving a day after Halloween to submit will work out. (As most users won't be dressing up after the 31st so they'll have an extra day to if they are planning on it.) Letting the contest run on too long will sap any interest so let's try to keep it in the Halloween season.

The fourth Horseman, Death if I'm not wrong. And seeing that costume, there will be no love at all.
The World Eater, Lord of Domination, and King of Suffering, the Harbringer of Fear. plus it's not like his submission is the only one that we can fully see anyway

My entry - I was Harley Quinn for my friends Halloween party :3 Based more or less off the Arkham City video game version, not so much the original, but mostly my own take on her :)
"Onto the judges: we will need to elect some people to select five or ten costumes and from there we can possible do a poll or leave it up to the judges."
5 bucks says I either get an everyones a winner prize or there will be less then 5 winners and I will not be one of them XD
Sorry guys, for some reason I haven't been receiving notifications from Creepypasta wiki. If the judging hasn't happened yet (based on above stuff, I don't think it has) then I'm back again.

You're good, Marble. Nothing has happened yet in terms of voting.

Saying nazi zombie is a whole lot easier then saying soviet/american/west germany zombie. Besides posting a picture of yourself with a swastika on you onto the internet is only asking for trouble. Im either a Nazi zombie from Dead Snow/Dead Snow Red vs Dead or from Black Ops zombies.

Off-topic: The Ebola pandemic has been contained since a lot of time already.
Ebola isn't even in the top 100 most dangerous diseases, and poses no species-wide threat, due to its small chance of evolving. The flu is FAR above it, as it evolves so fast at least one new strain is found a year, and we must always dish out new vaccines. Back on topic.
My vote as a judge goes to ShadowHawk5's makeshift Nazi zombie outfit, simply because of all the military memorabilia, and it looked, to me, the hardest to put together. If I had to choose a second favorite, though, it'd be a tough call. Perhaps the witch for the great photography used.
My vote goes to Pam1976 for her "white witch/vampire" costume. The setting she chose to pose in her costume for, its overall presentation, and don't forget how badass it looks = Definite vote from me.
My v0te g0es 0ut t0 BethRebel. I l0ve Harley Quinn, and she executed that costume perfectly. I'm 0bsessed with the ArkhamVerse, s0 I definitely g0tta give her the Xer0 v0te. *clap clap*
Let’s start all of this off by talking about the costumes. We had some good ones this year that I’ll address in chronological order (because I love milking the moment.)
ShawnCognitionCP did a great job with his costume, it really brought back the night terrors I had of man in spandex dancing to the Ghostbuster’s theme after seeing the viral video. Much like Princess Pete invaded my dreams last year, this costume will be haunting me this year.
The photography in Pam1976 was excellent and the setting really added some atmosphere to it all. The only downside is that I wish there more close-ups of her costume to add to the atmosphere and excellent photography.
Jygilzo’s Church Grim (Kirkegrim) costume really captured the image I had of that folklore and was researched nicely. I always think the folklore is synonymous with the dog, but the goat mask really captures the imagination.
I like the take BethRebel took on her Harley Quinn costume. You can tell a lot of time was put into the costume and the small accessories for it.
You can tell there was a lot of work put into ShadowHawk5’s costume. An American WWII helmet, Russian gas mask, and a German soldier’s uniform. The only thing missing (and I know it’d be hard to portray with that gear) was the zombie aspect of the costume.
Last, but not least, Crossjos’ Beetlejuice costume. I really wonder how much time was put into those costumes, looking at close-ups of the pictures uploaded, you see amazing details. You can tell that they really put time in on these costumes (complete with the “Handbook for the Recently Deceased” and the outfits), which is why they have my vote.
Congratulations to all those who put the time in this year for the Costume Contest.
Thank you all! Was out of town this weekend and am just seeing the announcement. How exciting!
My boyfriend and I worked on these for about a month, on weekends and after work in the evenings. We wanted to stay true to the original characters' looks and did our best to pay close attention to the details (i.e. streched-skin effect, the "Handbook," the brick wall and chalk door, and the outfits). Finding the house-dress was a quite a feat - especially one that would fit a man! (Thank you etsy.com.) Barbara's mask was made from a baseball cap, wire hangers and cardboard; Adam's mask was made from a bike helmet, papertowel rolls, and rubber glove stuffed with cotton balls. The frames were covered in posterboard for shape/depth, and then a few layers of papier machet covered the entirety. Acyrilc paints for color and shadowing, sharpie for the teeth details, ping pong balls and acrylics for the eye balls.
Thanks all for the votes. This officially makes Halloween 2015 the best yet!
Well done to the others as well. Appreciate those who take Halloween seriously, it's my favorite!
