Geekanerd's Halloween Costume Bingo: 2008 Edition

Back by popular demand, a Geekanerd Halloween tradition...


Click on the above graphic to get a full 5x5 card. You'll be taken to our custom-made RANDOM BINGOTRON CARD GENERATOR, where you can generate as many cards as you want.

Now make yourself a good card, print it out, and play against your ghoulish pals at your local Halloween party or parade.

Forget how this works? FAQ after the jump!

Frequently Asked Questions:

How's this work again?
If you see someone wearing a costume on your card, cross out the space. First person to get a row wins.

What if my opponent lies and says he saw something when he didn't?
Both parties have to see the costume, unless you are both unfalteringly honest people.

What if I see a costume I need, but my opponent has it on his game card too, and I don't want him to get the space?
Take a cell phone pic, and show it to your opponent after the costume in question is long gone.

I don't have a cell phone camera.
Can't help you.

Why is Joker the free space? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of a free space?
If you go the whole night without seeing someone dressed as The Joker, your town is either impressively innovative and original or really out-of-it and lame.

What happens if I win?
The loser has to buy you an Incredible Hulk at a local tavern, and you have to drink it.

What if neither one of us ever gets a row?
You should have generated a better card, loser! Whoever has more spaces checked wins.

Why don't you have Sarah Palin/Joe The Plumber/The Olsen Twins/Sexy Nurse on here?!?
This is Geekanerd. We're only interested in geek iconography.

Does Sexy Batman count as Batman? Does a dog ninja count as a ninja? Does Sarah Palin Hermione count as Hermione? Does steampunk Spider-Man count as Spider-Man?
Yes, yes, hell yes, and omg yes. Any and all riffs are fair game (except a non-Nurse Joker doesn't count as a Nurse Joker, cause... It just doesn't).

Is this really an annual tradition?
Yessir. Here's last year's card. As a matter of fact I played last year against my famous girlfriend at the West Village Halloween parade and er, I can't remember who won.

What if neither one of us ever gets a row?
Then I have failed as a game-maker and whoever has the most spaces wins.

What if I don't see any of these costumes the whole night?
That's ridiculous. I'm sure you saw Batman. Little kids and dogs count, you know.
