As is tradition here at FH, this past Saturday, we had our annual Halloween gala and costume contest. Covid made this year's costume party a challenge, with rapid testing at the door, but social distancing was almost impossible to inforce. Masks were mandatory, except for when official portraits were taken for the contest. We did reduce the numbers, and sadly, spectators were not allowed at this years bash, but thanks to
FH, some of the best and most creative non-costumes are featured here.
Now.. no matter how many times we say coming as Adam, (minus the fig leaf) doesn't qualify as a costume, there were still plenty of Adams (and a couple of Eve's) in the crowd. In addition to more than a few Tiger Kings there were the usual large group of spandex wearing super hero's. There was also that familiar smell of newly purchased leather wafting thick in the air. Here are some of this year's highlights which the judges narrowed down to a barely costumed top ten.
Tool Man
If you missed on our previous costume Parades check them out here:
Ghoul
Although our Ghoul wore more clothing than almost any other contestant, his glorious ghouly glutes could not be ignored!
Ghostface
Freddy
Gladiator
Our gladiator was fierce, but lost points for not fully protecting his most precious assets from attack,
Officer Krupke
Our Officer Krupke was hot, but policemen, as hot as they may be, law enforcement costumes were not that popular this year....
A Lovely Leia
Star Wars costumes tent to go in waves. Some years, they're very popular, other years, there are none to be seen. This year, the craze was back in full with many Prince and Princess Lay-hims, Obi wan canblowmes, Hung Solos and SeeMeePepeO's. These three costumes rose to the top.
Darth Pants-Invader
Luke's in trouble...
Below: Our winner, Jon Snow! Although he was a bit more fit than his television counter part, this Game of Thrones hottie's fur won won over our panel of judges.

Everyone left with a gift bag, which include a kit to have party goers thinking about what not to wear next year!
