I was there in full gear this past one, and my costume seemed to be getting TONS of attention. I figured I’d at least see one other ghosthead, but I didnt see any. (I was only there from 11am to 5pm, had to work). the best comments I got were from the locals calling me a “halloween hater” and “Ghost Pig” :lol: my costume isnt even that great, but everyone wanted pictures with me. I was hoping to see at least one of you guys… :vinzclortho: maybe next year ---

I was there, and as usual, I was dressed up in my “Ash” costume (from Evil Dead 1 & 2, and Army of Darkness). I love going downtown, it’s always a great time to be there for Halloween, especially since I live there. ---

I saw someone dressed as Ash in one of the graveyards. It was around 11am-12pm, oh and a pretty sweet beetlejuice. ---

Ive only been to Salem twice in my life, once with my folks in the summer about 15 years ago, and then with some friends a few years ago - we arrived at our hotel (in the next town over) the morning of halloween, got dressed in our costumes and headed out - my GB costume was quite popular, I must’ve posed for like 50 pictures… I’ll post some of them here tomorrow - my [nametag](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/gb1-name-tag-patch) had my last name as opposed to SPENGLER (who I most resemble), so next time Im getting a spengler nametag - that night we ran into the same people (3 guys and a girl) that go every year in there Ecto 1, but they didnt have packs, the main guy offered to buy mine, I think he wanted to make molds of it instead of building them from scratch - I did end up selling it on ebay a couple years ago, wish I’d kept it - I’m hoping to build another (lighter) one this year and go back on Halloween since it falls on a friday this year found one of the pics, this is the photoshopped version: [http://b6.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/01171/62/47/1171097426\_l.jpg](http://b6.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/01171/62/47/1171097426_l.jpg) I’ll post some better quality ones tomorrow… ---

i will be there (it would be really lazy of me if i didn’t since i live here). I’m not sure what i want to do for my costume. I don’t think I’m going to do Ash again, simply because i’ve been it for 3 years in a row and my girlfriend wants to do something with me. we might do ao [vampire](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/vampire) and vampress or batman and robin (they have a girl robin costume); we’re still figuring it out. if i can get a [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) started, i would love to have one for next year. ---

I may head down there. When does everyone walk around in costume though? During the day or only at night? Because I was considering heading down to boston to find a place to enter a costume contest. The competition in Salem itself is likely to be stiff. 🙂 ---

Because I was considering heading down to boston to find a place to enter a costume contest. The competition in Salem itself is likely to be stiff. 🙂 Its been a while since I went, 2004 maybe? I went with a girlfriend (at the time) twice and it was also early October… between the 7th or 14th. I was in costume (alot of very gory hollywood style makeup, that we use for medical simulations and training at work)… but I was also like the only one in costume aside from people working haunted houses and attractions. Got alot of photo ops with other tourists. At night there were a few other costumes but still not very many. Either way though it was a great time. I think the costume contest is either on the 31st or Nov. 2nd… alot of the main events run from the 30th - 2nd. The Official Salem, Ma.
