A Twitter post from Katie Dippold @katiedippold with the text “Tbt to Halloween when I dressed as the babadook but my friend’s house had more of a grown ups drinking wine vibe.” The attached picture shows her dressed up in black clothes with a white face and intense black eye makeup. She is surrounded by two people not dressed up and drinking wine.

    To be fair, if you get invited to what is ostensibly a party on Halloween, then it’s expected that you should dress up unless it’s explicitly stated otherwise.

    This dude was right and everyone else was wrong.

      Also if you’re hosting a party just assume it’ll happen because people have multiple parties and/or going out to the club to get laid, they aren’t going to come drink wine and then go home and get into costume…

      In the US, sure, not so much anywhere else. Halloween is not at all as big in most of the world as it is in the US, so if you want people to dress up it has to be explicitly stated on the invite.

    Grown ups can drink wine in costume: source, I took my DnD group to a biergarten with great seasonal gluhwein. We wore costumes and played a quick (6 hour) one shot from about 5 to 11. Even got some spectators and well wishers I love biergartens when I’m feeling social.

    Why are all the captions being posted as spoilers? I get an error any time I try to remove them.

    The only movie that was so scary I legit had to stop it (only after a third, nothing really even happened yet).

    Only kind of related, but did you guys know that in the UK, they call dressing up in a costume like this “fancy dress”? Weird.
