im dressing up as shaun for halloween despite being a girl. i got me a white shirt with red on it, complete with red tie, a shaun name badge, and a cricket bat.

just wondered whether anyone else had similar sotd style halloween costume so i dont feel like the only geeking one!

Nice! You'll look fantastic.

I was going to get my boyfriend to dress up as Shaun for my sister's party. But now we can't go so I'm to be denied that pleasure. He would have looked ace as he looks a little like Simon Pegg anyway.

i'm gonna steal that idea

i also tried sticking a dart in the side of my head but it kept falling off and i just looked silly!

Yeah, darts are pretty heavy - I think it'd be totally acceptable in a costume situation to make it more cartoony. Like, make a cut-out dart out of cardboard - light enough to stick to your head with bobby pins and easily identifiable.

I don't know that I'll be dressing up Shaun for Halloween - it did however dress up as the world least Simon Pegg-like Shaun for the movie's opening day.



Terrible, I know. I was quite proud of the nametag though - and the tie. I hand painted the bastard to vaguely match Shaun's.

And I made my buddy Taylor an "I Got Wood" shirt.



I have an extra of those. So, probably not Shaun, but I think I could to a passable Noel (zombie or not) or Ed (zombie or not).

I'm still pondering.

I wish anyone here paid attention to the fact that it's halloween. Of course no-one does in Australia so sadly I have not been invited to any Halloween parties and have no reason to dress up. Otherwise my bf would make a great Shaun too!!



Cool outfit and cool T-shirt!!
Nice work!

Cheers

wow yr outfits very impressive! i had to download the image for the namebadge from shaun squad, it looks pretty cool tho.
i just look pretty unconvincing cuz im a girl, maybe i shoulda cone as mary, but i like carrying a bloody cricket bat round with me!

I considered dressing up as a giant jaffa cake, no one would have gotten the reference but it would have made a nice picture for the forum none the less. I'm now spending halloween locked up in the cinema for a horror movie carnage fest. anyone doing anything similar? This is at the odeon in Glasgow if anyone is interested.

Our pals are having a halloween party and Hubby's goin as Shaun and I'm going as a zombie (nothing new there then!) We downloaded the shaun badge and pocket off that site above but we got Shauns face too - I do adore Mr Pegg (and he's a fox) but there was something disturbing seeing his face on my husband - I felt so unloyal and almost like I was two timing my hubby! (I can imagine hubby wearing it at an "initmate" time for a joke - hmm - e's got a sick humour........HEY? Perhaps it would be good with Simon - wearing a mask of my hubby! haha - nah ...don't even go there girlie!)

I'm gonna dress up just as a general zombie masher. So, not specifically and SOTD characters, but bloodied clothes, facial scars and a crimson-stained 'blunt object'...

It'd be interesting to find out if there's a massive rise in people dressing up as zombies this year.

What? It would!

I'm sure there will be as "they" have been calling it the Year of the Zombie.

Just finished doing my Shaun name badge tor tonites party!!..havent got a criket bat so im gona make a cardboard one!..LOL

Should be fun..

Il try get some pics of it for yall to have a giggle!..

If you go to the North American website for the movie, there is a "download your SHAUN COSTUME" link. If you follow it, it brings you to an area with pdf images of Shaun's face, the red on Shaun's shirt (complete with pocket) and Shaun's name tag.

However, the home made stuff I have seen and read about in this thread sounds much neater.

(ps - how did you attach image?)

There should be an option to attach files in the reply screen. Under the post icons.

Strange - Not on mine there isn't! Only Enable emotions and signature! Bizzarre!

The ability to upload images to the spaced-out server is a little privilage for the moderators. To show an image here you will have to upload it to a host and then use the IMG tags to show it.

[EDIT]

Great photos by the way

WOW! You all look awsome

*and a wink to shark for looking extra peggy-licious!*

Well, call me a forward little hussy but ding dong!

Looking good there, Mr Shark.

Tried to do that , but it came up with :
Sorry, dynamic pages in the [IMG] tags are not allowed
(ignorant - what does that mean?)

I am very disappointed that I did not see any Shauns this Halloween. I go to a massive horror fest every year and was expecting to see at least one.

Blimy thanx girls..never knew i had it in me..

Usually means you have to put the "http://" before the "www." in the link to the photo.

That always works with me when I get that error.

Cool it worked - thanks!

That's brilliant..

*wants a cricket bat for Christmas*

I went around the streets of heald green on a skateboard with fake blood and zombie contact on lol

ditto!

very good shauns you guys.
i soo admire people who make an effort for their halloween costume, as i can never be bothered! ( maybe chuck on a hat or something but thats about it!.)

Me (I used to be Toot, dunno if anyone will remember me from before) and Gimp as zombies; our mate Stakebite as Shaun

LOL - looks like a great night! Fabby contacts - if not wiered eyes on the girl!

I saw a guy dressed as shaun in leeds on halloween it was awesome. because i went out as a zombie i got him to clobber me a few times with his cricket bat. i also bumped into papa lazarou and he gave me a peg...nice one

i was shaun this halloween, and was the best girl shaun anyone had seen is what my friends said. altho i have no photographic evidence of this, i did win a bottle of fake baileys as a prize for my outfit and iwa svery chuffed. i saw someone dressed up as mary too!

Thanks Nurseswhisperingverses.... you looked very scary, I must say.
Those contacts stung like a bitch, and a drunk man kept chatting me up saying I had the most amazing eyes ever, even though I explained about 4 billion times that they were pretend.

Brilliant - don't you just love the effects of perception under the influence! I was going to try contacts but having never worn them I bottled out. Good on ya - they looked fab!

Nice work everyone!
Some fab Shauns and some very scary looking zombies!!

Cheers

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I just decided to make myself that costume for our carnival(?) holidays.

I read that there were .pdf files of Shaun´s nametag and others on the off. homepage, but I cannot find the link there...

Does anyone still have these files?

Thanks for your help!

A quick Google of Shaun nametag pdf brings us to this thread at this here forum, leading to this PDF on someone else's site.

Is that anything like what you're looking for?

Yeah, pretty much, thanks!!

I already tried our friend google, but didn´t think that far to search for that pdf-file itself...

Ha! That's from me! Glad it's still of use!

Geez, you missed two whole years between posts. What brings you back now?

Shaun has made it to roflfrazzi
