It's July and if that little Halloween countdown counter is accurate, we only have 101 days 'til Halloween.And like a good Hallowen Addict I believe it's never too late to start planning that ultimate costume now.
And if you're female and tired of the slutty-witch-nun-sexy-princess-nurse-thing how about mixing it up with a Zoey from Left 4 Dead costume?
As someone who only recently jumped on the next gen platform Xbox 360, I'm indulging in the myriad of horror games that the platform has collected in its 3 year existence.
As a fan of the Dawn of the Dead remake (AND original... so calm down, purists) I love me some good action horror and the game that delivers is certainly the simple and well crafted Left 4 Dead.
As all four characters are based on simple, yet iconic, archetypes they all lend themselves to excellent and simple costumes. In fact, you'll get lots of kudos if you can get a full party of four (3 men and 1 woman) to show up together.
The most difficult part of Zoey is getting the red sweatshirt right, but thank goodness someone with some craft experience has already done the work for you.For a cool $65 + shipping on Etsy you can get a pretty darn frame accurate rendition of Zoey's sweatshirt. Throw on a black ponytailed wig and grab a shotgun and/or some pistols and you're good to go.
Guys can dress up as any of the other dudes and then just kick in the door to the Halloween party of your choice. (C'mon, how cool would it be to have your girlfriend run up to the bar, grab a brown bottle of beer and yell "There's molotovs over here!" I just might marry that girl.)
Uh oh... IDEA!
LEFT 4 DEAD--- THE WEDDING!

Oh, thanks for reminding me that I need to kick husband off the xbox so I can play this game.
Great costume idea. At our party I always appreciate the clever slightly obscure ideas. This is perfect!
Cheers!
Speaking of only 101 days until Halloween, I'm putting together my list of participants in this year's Halloween countdown. Are you in? Let me know.
Frog Queen: Yes. Yes you should play this game.
John: Absolutely. I'm in.
I was already planning to do this. Thanks to this blog I can get the sweatshirt! Thanks! =)

Glad HalloweenAddict.com can help with your costume!
Send pics when you wear it out and I'll post 'em on the site.
What an awesome idea for a costume. Simple, yet sexy.
This was actually my first costume idea for Halloween this year, but sadly I decided against it purely because very few of my friends would get the reference.
I am considering buying the jacket just for the hell of it though...
thecadaver: Yeah you should do the costume only if you know there's a faction of people who will go "Oh cool!"
Otherwise you'll be answering this question all night: "Who are you supposed to be? An angry jogger?"
NO!!! They sold out. Do you know any other place to get it. I'm dead set on Zoey for Halloween!! lol epsecially since I just kicked some zombie butt tonight!
Zoey is my costume this year. Unfortunately the Esty jacket was sold out by the time i found it, but i found something close!!
I'm sorry, but I fail to see any kind of justification for charging $65 for a damn hoodie.
Amanda: This is America!
Supply and Demand!
Capitalism!
And... no one else (that I know of) is making them!
They could charge 2 million Ketchup Packets but it wouldn't matter if people think it's a good deal.
