For Halloween 2021. Our dog, Buddy, was supposed to be a case of Elsinore beer, but he destroyed his costume and refused to wear it. I took a photo of him next to the broken box as a compromise.

Halloween 2020. We had to stay home due to the pandemic. I still wanted to celebrate my favorite holiday, but didn't feel like spending a lot of time/energy on a costume that I couldn't go out with and show off. This was the creative yet low-effort result.

2023 — Creepy barfly (haunted hotel theme).

2024 — Man-eating lion (creepy circus theme).

October 2019. We attended a Rocky Horror show on Halloween, wearing our costumes, and there was a photo booth.

The particular photo shown here is from Halloween 2011, but I used this as my go-to Halloween costume for multiple years. (The blue hair was my normal look at the time and not part of the costume.)

Halloween 2016. I had to work that night, but employees were allowed to wear costumes for the holiday. (The photo was taken in my bathroom at home.)

July 2011 — For the premier of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.

For Halloween 2018. (The dress was a lighter shade of silver in person.)

October 2018. This photo was taken at a work-sponsored Halloween party at the local bowling alley. It was later featured in our company newsletter in a collage of other co-worker costumes. (The photo shown here is actually a picture of the printed collage, hence why the image is a bit grainy.) Next to me is my soon-to-be-datemate, Curtis, dressed up as The Dude from The Big Lebowski.

October 2012, for a Halloween party at our house. Featuring my roommates, Beth and Jess, as Inspector Spacetime (Community) and a Weeping Angel (Doctor Who).

Halloween 2013. This wasn't even my main costume that year, but I saw the "consulting club" sign and just couldn't resist.

Halloween 2014. I had recently acquired a knock-off replica of Sherlock's coat, so I was excited to upgrade this particular cosplay.

October 2023, for the Halloween costume contest at work. Featuring some silly Photoshop work by our friend/coworker, Brian, from the imaging department. We did not win.
