Here I will present you with a small selection of pictures from Madison’s Halloween festivities. For more you can go check out our flickr page here and here.

Happy Halloween, Zombie Rights Enthusiasts!

Before we get to the pictures of individual costumes, it’s worth noting just how big the annual Halloween festivities are in Madison, so check out these crowd scenes:

Now for some costumes!

First up, check out this Big Daddy from Bioshock.

A nice homemade costume. Now, to continue the theme, perhaps you’d care to see something in more of a Splicer costume?

Nice glowing EVE hypo there; apparently they sell them online, which is both awesome and a little terrifying.

Speaking of terrifying, here’s a gypsy fortune-telling robot costume:

We weren’t the only ones making political statements at the party, however. Here you can see a cheerful Tea Partier with unfortunately severe dyslexia:

While here you can see someone who apparently supports minimal clothing and Tom Barrett in the Wisconsin gubernatorial contest:

I apologize if anyone feels queasy now.

Moving on, here’s a great Star Wars group outing:

I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out some pictures from the main stage, so here, feast your eyes on Ok Go as shot from a digital camera amongst a jostling crowd:

We snagged a bit of the confetti, which they used with almost reckless abandon during the Ok Go show.

It was pretty heavily attended, with the head of State Street where it meets the Capitol turned into a writhing knot of inebriation and partying.

Here you can see our lovely Capitol building with the concert going on in front.

Halloween isn’t just about Freakfest or State Street here, however. Even workplaces get in on it. The art director’s day job/employer held a series of costume contests, producing some noteworthy entries.

Here you have a great Bride of Frankenstein concept with a balloon stand-in for Frank.

Finally, here’s an awesome homemade lego dude costume:

That about sums it up for the ZRC’s Halloween in pictures. More pictures are of course available on the web as mentioned above, and videos coming soon; next weekend is up in the air, but in a few short weeks we will be at The Dark Carnival, and we hope you will be too.
