"it looked something like an elementary school rendition of a scene from The Lord of the Rings." Surely more like a scene from Macbeth. Why not do a bonsai version by ramming a few twigs in your BP? ...

Duct tape costumes are great! I’ve live in the North Shore for seven years now, and I have yet to make it to Salem for Halloween. We live just across the bridge in Beverly, so it’s easy enough to get there… just never felt like putting up with the crowds and crazies. :-)

“…it looked something like an elementary school rendition of a scene from The Lord of the Rings.”
That is such a beautiful word-image…I don’t know why, maybe because I first read LOTR in sixth grade.

This is the first year I went to Salem for Halloween. I’m afraid I didn’t see the trees at all, though I did glimpse that ghostbuster car someone mentioned – that was pretty cool. I think the most outrageous costume I saw was someone dressed up as a box of tampons! It was great just walking around seeing so many costumes (I was lame & didn’t dress up – if I go again I’ll definitely want to wear a costume).

Like Jannis already pointed out.
We need some proof of this piece of art of which you speak. My eyes crave to witness such magnificence. How could you not have taken pictures when you could clearly see that this was something the whole world needed to behold.
Aaargh the torment.
Although i must admit in your defense that the mental image i now have of this fabulous costume will keep a smile on my face for the rest of the evening. thank you

Hang on – he was dressed as a tree in the ladies room and NO ONE noticed???
It’s been far too long since I’ve been to a party that good :-)

“He spent the night moving from place to place in the bar, then just standing still. People would stand near him not knowing he wasn’t a tree.”
Wow… We had a guy just like that at a party in Seattle this year. I’m quite he sure he not only got into the ladies room but actually penetrated a bedroom (this was a house party, mind you). It took a good 30 minutes for the couple to realize there was a person standing in the corner. Quite an ingenius idea.
Dan, it takes 3-4 rolls of duct tape, actually: one per person. And I think I might get a group together and try this next year. :)
