    My Nephews: A Halloween Journey

    My nephews and a I are huge fans of Halloween. And, much to my delight, they are just as geeky as I am, sans the bitterness that comes with the likes of watching STAR WARS prequels.

    Still.

    The first time my eldest nephew was old enough to ask for a particular costume – when he was 5 – he let us know the character he wanted to be… And with the help of aluminum foil, blue sweatshirt/pants, and the helmet and belt from a kiddie SWAT costume (and an insignia I printed out and taped on), we had COBRA COMMANDER:

    Six years ago, my eldest nephew (now 10) was joined by his younger brother, all of 3, who was clearly accelerated in his geeky development by his older brother. How do I know this? For their Halloween costumes, they wanted to go as a themed pair. What did they go as? INDIANA JONES and SHORT ROUND…

    Having seen the re-release of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK on the big screen, my eldest nephew decided he wanted to repeat a costume the next year, and spent it as Indiana Jones (albeit with a newer, larger costume – it had been two years, after all). My youngest nephew, then 5, wanted to be the character that most lodged in his psyche over that year – Tintin… with his dog Snowy in tow…

    Last year, my oldest nephew chose to go as Steve from MINECRAFT, and my youngest nephew selected Raphael, of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles…

    And that brings us to this year, as my oldest nephew was keen on GRAVITY FALLS’ own Dipper Pines, and my youngest nephew wanted to go as John Belushi’s Wild Bill Kelso from Steven Spielberg’s 1941…

    FULL DISCLOSURE: I may have had much the same sort of geeky Halloween behavior as a child…
