Since Halloween is coming up, can anyone give me some ideas for a costume for Duke? We need something simple and easy and you have to be able to roll around in it! Thanks!!!

We're in the same boat you are, no idea what to do for Halloween. We spent 3 hours in the costume store today getting the kids set and couldn't find something he liked(as bad as the kids). Good luck

Well, I don't have a classy costume idea for a male wheelchair user, but I thought for a female wheelchair user that a mermaid costume would be cool. You can be sexier than all the walking ladies ;) I doubt I am going to dress up, but if I get lured into going to a party, that's my plan.

We can't think of anything either...a train (using the wheels) a race car, a jack in the box is about all I can come up with...

For a male quad, how about a tuxedo? Then people will see him for what he really is -- a hot guy with some cool wheels.

was thinking bout this mysel,maybe i could break out my electric chair and go as stephen hawking, although spiderman in a wheelchair would be kinda funny

I've always wanted to dress up as a crash test dummy.

My brother came up with the idea to make the chair look like a electric chair and me go as a sexy executioner.

Spidy in a chair, lol. Misjudged how far that next building was

Last year my sister was a race car driver. She bought the costume and then decorated her chair with reflectors, ribbons and painted a handicap sign for the back. I thought that was a good idea.

news reporter!! really easy to make ...all you need: card board, packing tape, glue gun, wallpaper

my wife thought of one for me. she thought it would be funny if she dressed up as a nurse and giving me a sponge bath. she was going to make a tub that would cover my upper body and somehow make bubbles and throw a sponge in the tub, lol.

Hey that's inventive!

this year instead of re-using my news reporter desk..i was thinking of a game show contestant! like on jeopardy or....the price is right - the contestant at showcase showdown (i heart that show)...AND if you want to make it a couples thing...if u have an upright frd they can be the game show host..ie alex trebek or bob barker/drew carey..and if ur frds a wheeler..they can be another contestant!

take a shower and get cleaned up. you can go as a knuckle head.

I thought of that too the other day......however, I also like the idea of a crash test dummy

i thought about the electric chair also, but instead am going as a shopping cart, my friends are fitting the shopping cart frame around my chair, then put some party essentials on my lap & off i go.

bonus points if i actually go shopping in my cart on the way to a party.

i haven't snagged any pics yet though

just some pics from saturday nite,my costumes not the best but it was last minute purchase off ebay

so i look drunk cause i was, but the costumes went over well, best part is chicks love shopping & i was there to help them with that

Great pics everyone!

tmcph, you make one very handsome shopping cart! LOL
I gotta know... did you have that one wobbly wheel?

I'll get a pic of Duke up as soon as I can...he went as a crash test dummy!

Now that is very clever.

Hi, we had a Circus of Horrors themed Halloween party. I went as a careless Lion tamer.

LOL those are great chairman

A little late but... Steve went as a clown and had a great time Trick or Treating with the kids. His injury was 6 years ago and this is the first Halloween he was able to spent with his daughter. I think the shoes made the costume. As you see I was the nun whom likes to clown around!

I did a Ghoulie thing this year. My wife has made for me a ritual robe and cloak and I used the cloak, an African hat and a rubber mask. It worked! Had loads of fun scaring the kiddlings as they came begging.
