This year for Halloween, I am dressing as Thusla Doom from the first Conan movie. Last year, I dressed as CONAN from the Howard books. Both costumes are home-made. When I get around to it after October 31, I'll post pics. ......And YES......the THULSA DOOM staff is ALSO part of the costume, and I made it completely from scratch.

p.s. Got my first tat in June. It's FRAZETTA'S CONAN. It is a half sleeve. I am searching all the old Howard books for more illustrations on how to depict THOTH AMON for my next tat. I already know about the bust that has been released; I'm looking for something from the old works of literatur efrom Howard, NOT the comic-book stuff.

Sanjulian , Maroto , Frazetta , - in that order..........
I wouldn't look for any Thulsa Doom pic.s in any Conan books however , he was a sorceror in the Kull stories & I actually don't recall ever seeing any drawings depicting him - except maybe from the old Kull comics .

So PB, which one is you? 
Can we make this a Halloween costume thread? How many of us are dressing up for the occasion, and what are you going as?

I find that Halloween is a time the masks come off 
The Snowhawk Clan are traitorous dogs, who play AoC for epeen and leetboi status, and have lost all pretense of roleplay and adherence to lore...

Every year, I think I'll dress up for Halloween, and every year I never get around to making a costume. I suppose it would have been easy to make a reasonable facsimile of a Red Sonja bikini...but it would have been way too cold to wear it!

You could always do it in the summer, take some pictures and post them on the site in November

Or any other Hyborian character? I never have seen it. One of the old Savage Sword issues has a photo of Roy Thomas dressed as Conan and his girlfriend as Sonja. Scrawny little Roy, pretty funny.
I'd like to see some pics of you nuts dressed up. How about it?
I love Halloween, always have. My neighbor is on an anti-Halloween crusade. "It's a pagan holiday that glorifies the darkness and the evil inside ourselves!"
My response: "And that's a bad thing?"
What easier way to quash your fear of witches and demons and ghosts than to dress up as them? Makes sense to me. Plus, my other neighbor's hottie wife dresses every year as a French Maid or a Naughty Nurse. One year she was Vampirella.
And that's just a plain treat.

Never have, but I saw someone dressed as an (Arnie-style) Conan in the incredible Lewes Bonfire Night procession a couple of years ago. What an event!
I don't think with my beer gut I'd make a particularly good Conan. Taurus, maybe. It's a shame he meets a sticky end...

Hmmm I think my pale hide would be better suited as an Asgardian than a bronze-skinned Cimmerian. My reddish hair wouldn't help either hehe. But I have the muscular physique, so I'd go for the viking warrior-type. Maybe that'll be a good costume for next year!

No Conan for me, although I did dress up as another favorite macho pulp-hero, one Indiana Jones. Pics are forthcoming.

Here we go. I put up a crappy copy for two reasons. 1) I wear glasses, so it throws off the whole thing, and 2) My gf wouldn't appreciate being seen 'round these here parts. If anyone asks, I was going for a "dark and spooky" mood.

My wife dressed up as a Barbarian Babe, with a enormous plastic sword, oh yeah! She does fur and chain mail all right.
NO, you don't get to see the picture. Me, I did the Demon Lawyer thang. The glue on full front mask, horns and bumps, a long mass of gray hair down the back and over the shoulders, with a full dignified suit and tie. Scared the bejezus out of several children, got lots of compliments.
Strangly, the folks that know me said they didn't notice I was wearing any mask. They so funny.
