It's almost Halloween, you guys. Costume parties, candy corn, and good times are gonna be all over the place before the work week is over. Maybe this is the year you finally stop being the Popeye to your spouse's Olive Oyl costume. Maybe you're tired of being a sexy nurse/politician/ocelot/what-have-you. We figured we'd step in and give you a hand. Here's a list of possible costumes for you to blow the lid off of whichever local costume party you plan on attending. The list is full of suggestions of Denton Halloween-specific costumes and how you can put them together. Got an idea for something we didn't cover? Let us know in the comments!

Couple's Costume Idea: Roscoe and Clementine

If you're a dude, dress up like the titular character from the Midlake tune, "Roscoe." Wear the appropriate garb for someone born in 1891 and look really productive - whatever that means. Ladies, accompany your dude as Sarah Jaffe's Clementine from her song of the same name. Look very delicate, change your mind a lot, and float in the air if you have acquired that skill at some point in your life.

Frenchy Famous Vans

Head to SCRAP or Hobby Lobby, grab a bright orange shirt and blue paint. Craft an excellent message on your shirt touting the local news, events or a message to a friend. Mow people's lawns even if they ask you not to. Also, walk by people, kiss them on the lips and say, "Now you're Frenchy famous."

Local Young Farmers

Buy some old Levi's and carry around a bunch of eggs. Talk a lot about the way things used to be and just be overly nice to everyone. Leave the party early because it's already 9:00pm and you've been awake since the damned sun came up.

Someone Really Into Film Photography

This isn't too far off from the Local Farmers, but different enough to warrant another costume. Buy some raw denim, a Stetson hat, and a nice Filson flannel (this is an expensive costume, y'all). Swing by Denton Camera Exchange (compliment Armand on his hat while you're there) and purchase an old Polaroid Land camera SX-70 (something that isn't too heavy and you can carry with you) and some film. Take photos of people looking directly into your camera making very serious faces.

Flat Earth Guy

Y'all know that flat earth guy that lives off of Panhandle St. Get some sort of large, flat disc that you can hoist up with suspenders and have it float around your waist. Paint it blue and green and walk around yelling whatever conspiracy theory comes to mind. Have a level on hand to "prove your point" whenever anyone attempts to prove you wrong. Extra points if you decorate your car, too.

The Chairy Orchard

Get a green jumpsuit and glue hundreds of small chairs all over yourself. Put a couple of teddy bears on there for good measure.

John Williams (owner of East Side and Oak St. Drafthouse)

Grab a beer, a bottle of whiskey, and a stack of shot glasses. Wear an Oak Street Draft House shirt or sweatshirt, cargo shorts and flip flops. Offer a shot to anyone that you make friends with over the course of the evening. Just kinda be all around awesome.

Denton Lifer

Complain about how much you miss Fry St. Fair, shave your head so you appear to be slightly balding and don your favorite Argo t-shirt.

A Barley and Board Waiter or Waitress

Just dress appropriately and place small plates of barley in front of people and act as if it is something that they may actually want to eat.

Carl Finch

Grab an accordion (you can find cheap children's accordions at toy stores), get a red bowler hat (Rose Costumes probably has this), and don some tinted shades. Do the polka all around your preferred party.
