I have a few hobby's, this is the other odd one ....

I've always been a big fan of horror movies and besides pipe smoking and some woodworking my other hobby (and side business) is Horror cosplay and Halloween costumes. I make hockey masks and costume items (props, clothing, etc.) to sell, as well as for my own stable of costumes.
I not only dress up for Halloween, but also for conventions, festivals and contests. I am working on trying to get some Halloween party and photo shoot work this coming month as I've stepped my costume game up exponentially from a year ago. I was asked this past week to appear in costume for a movie premiere locally and will be doing so again in a couple weeks for a major film festival in Denver, The Mile High Horror Film Festival.
With fall knocking at our door and Halloween approaching, I wanted to share one of my other passions (the one that has kept me from smoking a pipe for over a week now). I've always loved Halloween since I was a kid and as an adult I've been afforded the time, money and talent to put together some really great costumes I could have only dreamed about as a kid.

Pipe smoking. I know to us it isn't odd, but to the public pipe smoking and Halloween costumes are odd hobby's.

@derfargin, to plenty it is odd seeing a 29 year old man smoking a pipe and I get even more puzzled reactions when I show up at work with another hockey mask or Freddy Krueger sweater to ship to a customer. It is all worthwhile when October shows up and I get plenty of good reactions and some extra income.
@mso, I don't walk around town at random in them, nor do I drive in them either, at least not with the masks on. I went into 7/11 last year in one of them (sans mask) and got some odd looks (it was October, I was heading to a party, but it wasn't Halloween yet).
Appreciate the forum applause. The theme I am doing this year for Halloween is A Nightmare on Elm Street, can only wear one costume at a time. I will be wearing three costumes for the horror film festival but I am hoping to find other costume work this next month and also enter some costume contests.
