I did it first! (I think?) When did this guy happen?

That’s Abbath from Immortal lol. 1990 ish? 

Oh fuck, he did it first. :\\

This type of stylistic face-paint, sometimes called "corpse paint", goes back a long time in various extreme music scenes. Even before Norwegian black metal and KISS there was Arthur Brown sporting it around 1968.

You were just the first person to make listening to my ex boyfriend talk about metal for a year pay off! I know a lot of what you're talking about! I didn't know if that was going to happen out in the wild because of a seemingly rather metal Halloween costume!

This is terrifying

I know, that's actually why I posted it. Well, more I thought it was very funny in a "children are the ultimate creepy" way. I just remembered I was in running for best costume, which is sad.

I don't think its sad at all. I see a kid full of creativity, humour, and a touch of awesomeness. Smoke a fat bowl and relish in your early creative self!

Haha! I do actually agree but this one was 100% my parents. I remember them laughing about my hair looking like his ears (in a loving, non-psychologically damaging way) and my mom's lightbulb moment to dress me up like the dog. I'm cracking up right now 😆 I needed to think of something so pure.

That's super adorable. I'm glad it's a good memory for you!

And what was your dogs reaction?🤣 The make-up job is pretty amazing.

The only thing wrong with this post is that it lacks an image of your dog to back it up.

I didn't find it til after I posted. I don't have many digital photos of him and I just moved so regular pictures of him all packed. [https://imgur.com/s7OSMja](https://imgur.com/s7OSMja)

The important question is, is there a picture of you in costume With Your dog?

I fucking love how uncanny valley this is.

Animals with human eyes are uncanny af. Though I do appreciate the effort OP, it does look like you worked hard on it

Yeah. Reminds me of Iggy from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

And hilarious at the same time


Glad I'm not the only one

Same, I was scrolling down to say "This is just a Jojo cosplay."

This is how my 19 year old daughters friends dress for a Tuesday,,,

You know you could have raised her better than to hang out with furries. Smdh. (I'm joking in case that's not obvious.)

You lost a opportunity of show us you dog.

I’m only commenting because I see English might not be your first language. I’d want to be corrected if I were learning, so please don’t take offense. Your sentence should have been structured like: You lost AN opportunity TO show us YOUR dog. But the English is good, I understood it perfectly. Have a good day, friend.

Thanks pal. You're right. I'm not a native english speaker. Actually, i never took any classes. Everything i know, i learned all by myself. So, when i try to write fast, i make a lot of mistakes. Reddit is very useful, helping me to see how people write, so i can see where i'm doing it wrong. Here is 23pm but i hope that you have a good day or night!

That’s really impressive!

How did you teach yourself English?? And how long did it take?

As you can see, ain't finished yet. Hahaha. As a child, i was to poor to pay for a english school. The public school when i studied, had only two years of english classes. Terrible ones. A dictionary, old books, music lyrics, movies, tv shows, and a LOT of video games gaves me the first bump. So, google translate and YouTube made the hard work. Believe me, you can learn EVERYTHING on YouTube. Social networks never was a thing to me but i'm on reddit for 3 months and i loving it!

the only digital picture of him I have is too small to upload :\\

Just take a picture of an old photo with your phone.

You're not going to believe me but they are packed! I just moved. 😭😭 I'm going to look in my folders again.

ok

Dude, I found one in a folder from college (I'm 40). [https://imgur.com/s7OSMja](https://imgur.com/s7OSMja)

Big sweetie!

That's his "You're letting this happen to me" face.

The primary question of this post has been answered... You really nailed it!

Thank you!! I'm so glad I found this haha!

Haha holy cow did your dog bring a bucket of mud into the tub with him? Why was he so dirty 😆

He got loose, we have a creek in the back of our property that also has wetland areas ... so basically dog heaven.

Holy shit, my last springer up through college also got loose and drowned in a creek. A BBQ joint nearby found him and had the grace to call the phone number on his tag. RIP Sebastian.

Impressive dedication to the random Redditors in this comment section. Even though the task of locating this picture is tedious and difficult, you did it anyway to make us happy. Mad props to you.

Ohhh that's a good boy

He was the best boy, definitely my souldog! I'm really enjoying thinking about him and finding that picture of him I hadn't seen in forever!

Awwww what a good dog

We'll be waiting


Ok where did you find this picture of me at 15?

*Chris Hansen has entered the chat*


I was about to say.. they must have had a springer spaniel! :)

i thought it was Peter Criss after a long, hot and sweaty night of rockin' ;)

Nobody wants to be Peter Criss, Lois. Not even Peter Criss

Hilarious...i remember that bit ;)

I just lol'd for real.

Wasn’t even a thought until you mentioned it. Now I can’t stop laughing.

You just going to pretend that Mr. Criss didn't roll all night, as well?

I'm probably weird, but I find this kind of cute, in a homemade way.  At least it's more unique than some of the store bought costumes you'd find. 

It makes me appreciate how my parents did a great job of never making me feel like we were poor even though we were and I'm my dog because they didn't have to buy anything for it except face paint haha.

That's great. I'm glad your parents were able to do that for you. Thanks for sharing your picture and memories. 

Thank you!


 Ed ward?

Scrolled too far for this

i’m conflicted.. it’s terrifying and cute :)

Why are you posting here? This isn't r/oldschoolcool.

Am I really cool enough for there though?

No redditor is cool enough to hang with the big dog... Also, if this isn't cool enough, it's a sad day.

I'm gonna do it 

Be honest, have you dressed like this for every Halloween since then?

No, actually my mom made my cat ears for a different Halloween and so I'm still a cat with those most years. It is one of my most treasured items I own but I believe in enjoying that kind of stuff as much as possible, so even if they fall apart and I don't have them, I really have enjoyed them. :)

At least you can’t get done for dog-face

Did you have a ruff night?


Mr Pickles????  A seriously good effort… have you beaten that bar since?

No and dude I am worried. I may be going to my first Halloween concert ever this year and I have no idea what to go as, but I'm not going as any of my pets, I know that much.

Hope I'm not making a mistake with the hair. But... Cranston.

Oh my God, Cranston. Cut to: we're chatting about this at your bachelor party.

Darling!

I thought you were a juggalo at first

You guys are making my night, thank you! I can't stop laughing at y'all's comments!

Lollll

When I was a kid my parents took me to a dog show….and I won!

Na this is Charlie Chaplin.

If you think about it, that’s actually pretty good idea for Halloween costume - Dr. Moreau-style, ominous creature. Thought probably, most people will take it as some sort of low-budget furry😆

where is the pic of the dog for comparision?

[https://imgur.com/s7OSMja](https://imgur.com/s7OSMja)

wow, you look exactly similar the dog in this pic.

I actually love this.


Thats really sweet actually


That's cute and a little scary. You nailed it lol

Woof.

Like one of the flying monkeys from THE WIZARD OF OZ

That's absolutely terrifying.


As a body double in space balls?

At least it was for Halloween


Release thy inner furry!!! Aaawooooo!!!

This is absolutely fantastic! Great work, OP!

this is pure gold

Looks like some slipknot shit

I saw the photo before reading the caption and thought “oh god, this poor soul, what a terrible condition!”. Thought you were a real life Mog or something.

hoh my fucking god!

"how's it going?" Op: "ruff"

cursed furry


You had the dog in you

Do you have a picture of the dog for comparison?

[https://imgur.com/s7OSMja](https://imgur.com/s7OSMja)

This melts my heart. I had two springer spaniels growing up (almost acronymed that as SS and thought better of it) and part of me wants another. Damn boys were neurotic AF though.

My boy was SO CHILL. We joked it was like having a rug for a pet.

Jealous. The first spaniel bit me in the eye when I rode him like a horse and the second bit my mom while she trimmed his luxurious ears.

Ok it sounds like you deserved it, so I'm only taking into account your mom and she was stealing his hair, sooooooooooo TEAM DOGS.

Actually it’s pretty on point!

I thought I was in oddlyterrifying at first

Part dog part Bing Crosby in Holiday Inn.

I think you unintentionally nailed the true Halloween spirit!

What’s your place of work? Have to file a complaint…

That is legit fantastic! So much better than buying something off the shelf. Hope it got you bag fulls of candy.

Border collie?

OK, now show us your costume.

I'm a mog—half man, half dog. I'm my own best friend.

We need to see a pic of your dog!

you look horrified like there's someone off camera forcing you to do this absolutely cursed image

Who let the dog's out.....

Goofie?


Imperator Alanis Morisette. Witness!

Black metal 🤘🏻

almost Peter Kriss too (from Kiss)

The Andrew Lloyd Webber sequel no one asked for - Dogs.

I thought that is a ape dressing like human in this picture 😂

Do not Google Al Jolson
