Geekanerd's Halloween Costume Bingo

Hey, stop living in the past! We've got a brand new random card generator for 2008 with updated costumes!

Going to a big Halloween parade? I know I am. And I also know I can't enjoy things outside of a structured context. So, who's up for some Halloween Costume Bingo?

That image is just a taste! Two 5x5 printable game cards, after the jump....

Frequently Asked Questions:

How's this work again?
If you see a costume, 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 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.

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?
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.

Weekanerd NYC: Halloween Edition

Monday, October 29th
I could take or leave Tim Burton's mediocre Sleepy Hollow, but a free screening of the Stephen King / George Romero pulp masterpiece known as Creepshow? You had me at hello.

"When a strange meteor smashes into a ship en route to Illyria, the bodies pile up as fast as the romantic complications. Will true love prevail? Can a zombie be made to understand the affairs of the heart, without eating it?" Bwaha!

It just wouldn't be Halloween in New York City without pushing through thousands of sweaty costumed Yorkers to catch of glimpse of some other sweaty costumed Yorkers walking up Sixth Avenue. But the night only begins here, as Geekanerd heartily recommends you skip the official afterparty and head straight to:
This 2nd Annual event promises an all night open bar, burlesque performers, sword swallowers, fire eaters, graffiti writers, and musical performances by Everythus the Deadbeats, Everything Now! and the truly epic Bryan Scary.

  • Veg Out w. Some New Video Games
  • After work @ your apartment
You had to wake up and go to work after last night's revelries, so you probably don't feel like doing much tonight. A quick detour by your favorite video game shop will get you Guitar Hero 3 and/or Manhunt 2, both of which were released this week. So just sit back and shred some tunes or flesh, depending on the game.
