The revenge of the fifth thing

[stillsostrange]

I forgot, there was a fifth thing yesterday. "The Tenderness of Jackals" finally got name-checked in a review of Lovecraft Unbound; Martin Andersson of Dead Reckonings calls it "poignant yet horrific". It is, after all, the touching story of a ghoul, his boy, and the ghosts of Fritz Haarman's murders.

And now one for the crowd: What should I be for Halloween? It needs to be doable for not more than $200, easily transported in checked luggage, and not so elaborate that it's a pain in the ass to wear around a con. Any ideas? (For those of you who've never met me, Velma from Scooby Doo is the sort of thing I can do with minimal effort, but I want something a little fancier this year.)

How about the King in Yellow. Bag of theatrical paint, one set of yellow robes, and off you go. Plus, it'll match your tatoo ;)

Mmmmm, ghouls...

There's always any of the women of the Venture Brothers, in honor of the new season starting. (If you like VB.)

Triana Orpheus is a cheaper and manageable one, or her raver-friend who pops up sometimes, or Doctor Girlfriend in the Jackie O outfit. *g*
