Halloween 3 at El Paso Bar, Old Street 29/10/05

October 29th, 2005 | Category: Halloween 3 2005

The sweaty dungeon below El Paso housed the third and possibly greatest party so far. Over 200 people turned up, ramming both floors to the limit of what was safe and reasonable.

Costume highlights included Teen Wolf who stuck fake wolf hair to his beard with super glue, a famous grand chess master dressed as a cheerleader, Bride of Chuckie who came dressed as Chuckie and two Ghostbusters who could blow ping pong balls from their proton packs. Special mention should go to The Riddler who had to endure being called The Joker all evening.

The panel of judges announced Teen Wolf as the winner of best costume but unfortunately he had run off home to his mum after it emerged that he had got accidentally drunk. The trophy was presented to him some days later.

Halloween 3 2005 Best Costume: Teen Wolf

October 29th, 2005 | Category: Halloween 3 2005

The third instalment of Halloween London brought us to the sweaty dungeon of El Paso on Old Street. This was arguably one of the best when it came to the quality of some of the home made costumes on offer. Although the Ghostbusters and Chuckie costumes were darn good the unofficial straw poll amongst the revellers picked out Tom West’s simulation of Teen Wolf to be the best.

Tom spent a good deal of effort and very little money on his costume which are qualities of a true champion. The yellow basketball kit was purchased from a Mad House and he wore a pair of his mums thick brown tights over his legs which must have been bloomin hot.

The fake hair was stuck on all over shortly before arriving at El Paso which proved to be hilarious. On sticking a rather large clump to his stubbly face he noticed the instructions said “DO NOT STICK TO BODY HAIR”. The only conclusion was to get hideously drunk so that it wouldn’t hurt too much when the hair finally came off.

On closer inspection it may look more like Terry Waite than Teen Wolf but you can make your own mind up by looking at the video below.

Did Tom get it right?
