Live Poll: New TV Series: New Halloween Costumes

'Now complete.

Certainly not in the States, lol. If you ever make it to here on Halloween, you'll know what I mean.

Originally, in Ireland, I think, and in the U.S. whenever it started here, scary was the intent, though, and I've known purists who only do scary costumes but scary costumes are certainly in the minority, among both children and probably especially adults, at least in the States. I'm pretty sure it's at least somewhat similar in a lot of other countries. Does India celebrate Halloween? If people dress up, do they do mainly scary costumes?

Suzy,

Halloween is not celebrated in India.

It can be pretty fun but it can also be a whole lot of effort and a mediocre time at parties where people aren't on their best behavior. As an adult, you're not missing much at all.  It was definitely more fun as a kid for all sorts of reasons, including the trick-or-treating. 

Yes, children also often wear non-scary costumes. Toddlers are often dressed up as pumpkins, very young children (3-7 or 8) tend to dress as Disney or traditional, fictional characters like princesses or cowboys, and then costumes become more diverse: yes, it's common to see kids, especially teenagers, dress as celebrities, and it's also common to see a lot of creative or funny costumes like hot dogs, lawsuits, the planet Saturn, etc. -- those are just a few I've seen. There are always several scary costumes, too, though. It's amazing how good some kids (and/or their parents) are at making costumes, because although kids often wear store-bought costumes, many make really sophisticated home-made ones. Oh, movie characters and superheroes are always popular: Darth Vader, Spiderman, Indiana Jones, and a lot of more contemporary superheroes from films. :)

I am sorry because I provided wrong information above.

Halloween is celebrated in India, but only at the metropolitan cities, not everywhere. Arranged by some night clubs.

Being Trump is def. frightening!

Last night on Weekend Update on SNL, Weinstein was called a "well-dressed skin tag".

I've seen a lot of Nixon masks and I expect to see a lot to Trumps this year.

Perhaps one of you could pull off a Melania Trump disguise?

Not if it means I have to hold hands with someone dressed up as Trump, lol. Even though it would be a friend, it might still give me the creeps. :) That would be funny, though. I wonder if masks of some of Trump's family, in addition to Trump, will come out this year.

I was planning on Titus, JJ, and a few others here but I don't even know of some of these so thank you so much! I'll add many, I'm sure, soon. 

That is creepy, indeed. Those poor kids innocently watching cartoons with no idea of what they're going to see -- that would have scared the begeezus out of me when I was a little kid. 

Yeah, it came right after Popeye, I'll never forget. Of course, I never had to watch the clip again, when it started, I'd just change the channel or leave the room, yet the first mask is printed in my mind...and the ending, they thought it would be a relief but even the burning makes the whole thing a tad creepy.

Indeed.

I love the details we remember from childhood - like you remembering that is was Popeye that you were watching. :)

I always have a history with Popeye.

Seriously, they were airing some tough ads these days, many of them were about road accidents and they were pretty graphic, but my biggest trauma came from a Unicef ad, the images they put there were disturbing and depressing and the song was heart-breaking, it was saying "Save those children" in a way that made you really feel you were the only chance, I could never stand seeing children in pain and suffering. The simple mention of "Unicef" made me shudder. I guess I was too sensitive, even at the age of 8.

But I'll remember the first time I saw the ad, right after a Cosby Show episode, I just had fun and was about to go to sleep and then they put you the most possibly depressing ad in the world, I knew what I was watching was disturbing but my eyes were like glued on the screen for at least ten seconds before I went trembling in my bed. After Cosby Show, I immediately changed the channel but sometimes, I was so scared I closed my ears in my bed until I knew it was safe. 

They re-ran the ad the next year and my little brother (who was tougher than me) told me to change the channel, there was Popeye on TV. Wien I did, I saw a baby in the screen and I immediately knew what was going on, the image wasn't disturbing but I had quite a jump scare. The funny thing is that I never saw that ad again, only heard the song on the radio but it's stuck in my memory and I still have the images I saw that night after the Cosby Show. 

It's one of my most recurring dreams, I dream I hear that song again or I find the clip and try to avoid watching it, I know there'll come a day where I'll find that clip on Youtube, but I'll never have the guts to watch it. 

Yeah, I was the easily scared type :)

'Good one! 'Added. Thank you so much!

If you have any ideas for a brief description of her personality or related info., let me know and I'll add that too. Thanks again. 

Oh, good, you seem to really know these shows so if you like it, I'm thinking it's probably ok. The show's page says that the actor spells his name with ss but the character is with one s, but that could be wrong. What do you think -- keep it with one "s" or change it? Thanks, again, for your help. I still have some characters to add and some descriptions but it's getting there. 

Oh sh**, I totally f'd that. So sorry!

Let me know if you need any help with descriptions. :)

Oh my gosh, thank you so much for the offer because I am having a bit of a hard time with some of the descriptions. I also hope that they're all accurate because some I had to research and try to get a grasp of a character from sometimes ambiguous descriptions. So if you see anything out of sorts or have any ideas for some of the blank ones, that'd be great. Thanks, again, so much!

Would you happen to have any brief little blurbs for Liv (iZombie), Ruth (GLOW), Jane Doe (Blindspot), or Glenn (Superstore)? 

I mistakenly responded below instead of here. I added Slink already and might add Janet if I have room. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much! I changed the photo and added the blurbs. These descriptions are great - thorough and thoroughly funny, too!

I was trying to decide between two photos of Elliot and wanted to test cropping. I'm hoping that an image I submitted becomes available and I can use that one but, for now, I'm going with the first photo of Elliot. 

Thanks, again! I really appreciate it. 

Thank you, again! I incorporated your tips for Glenn and, if I have enough time, I will probably add the others. You've been so helpful! :)

This is a poll suggestion but, of course, you're welcome to use anything from the list if you'd like.
