I love love love Halloween. Thankfully, my job does too. After a 1 year hiatus we are celebrating again at work. So if we want, we can come to work in full costume. I particpate every year with full on special effects makeup
Anybody else going to dress up for work, if so what will you be dressing as?
Never a good idea, in my opinion. I'll never forget the year our company invited everyone to dress up for Halloween, and then the head of HR called the police on a guy who wore a gangster costume and carried a wooden cut-out of a gun with a cloth sign that said "bang" on the end. And that was before mass shootings were common.

For a couple of years, I worked in a call center that was very much into Halloween -- it was also, as such places go, probably the most progressive in which I've been employed.
This was in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area of Northeastern Pennsylvania --very traditionalsistic, but we had a substantial influx of people from the Poconos, and many of them had, in turn, moved out from New York and Northern New Jersey.
At any rate, the biggest surprise was one of our number who came as a nun, and he was an African-American Brooklynite.
Some twisted part of me would love to show up to work in full Nazgul garb (from the Lord of the Rings) - complete with the armor, the deadly gauntlets, and so forth. It would be more fun with 8 other people, however... heh...
As for my current job, fun is basically forbidden, so no dressing up there.
