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.


This thread is USELESS WITHOUT PICTURES... :P

lawyers are extremely well dressed pickpockets.........until they learn how to lie expertly and they become politicians



What's the difference between a rat, a lawyer and a politician?

There's some things a rat won't do!

Horrific. Is it a rubies? They're notorious for putting out bad, really poor quality officially licensed costumes.

Is this supposed to be how Conan officially looks in the movie?

This is an officially licensed Conan the Barbarian? product.

is that a latex torso?
Under the caverned pyramids great Set coils asleep;
Among the shadows of the tombs his dusky people creep.
I speak the Word from the hidden gulfs that never knew the sun
Send me a servant for my hate, oh scaled and shining One!

"Get those fierce, long locks of the Cimmerian warrior with our Conan the Barbarian Wig. Our Conan Costume Wig features long brown hair that falls from a center part and styled with loose curls. This men's curly wig is an accessory that will bring your Conan the Barbarian costume to the next level."
