Game of Thrones 2016 Halloween Compendium

Screen Shot 2016-11-01 at 9.00.29 AM

Greetings Wallbies, and welcome to the “Unofficial, Yet Better Than Your Average” Game of Thrones Halloween Compendium.

A Man has sorted through your submissions and scoured the corners of the web to find some of the best, weird and exotic GoT costumes of the season for your post-Halloween viewing pleasure. All pics have been non-traditionally categorized (somewhat) in a feeble attempt to enhance the overall experience.

So, whether you are relaxing in your favorite chair at the house or nursing a Halloween hangover at work, click on if you dare. For the night is dark, and full of terrors…

Finally, in the “I’m Not Quite Sure What I’m Looking At” category, we have Jon, Ygritte, whatever is next to Ygritte, a pinecone dragon egg, etc. There’s so much going on here that I don’t know where to start.

I’m not sure how to follow that one, so I won’t. If any of you feel moved to analyze it and dissect what is happening here, be my guest.

Thank you all for checking out the Game of Thrones costume roundup for 2016. If you were omitted, it was not intentional. What was your favorite? Speak up and thank you all again for supporting the Wall. And may there always be peace in your realm. -Oz

  1. Hi Oz, thanks for posting these. The little Jon Snow and Ghost is darling. Some stuff made me LOL, including your comments. And, oh my, look at those carved pumpkins. Very talented folks out there.
    Unfortunately now you have to go back in your cocoon until it is safe to come out again. Good seeing ya!

  2. Those are some awesome carving skills out there!!!

    Kudos to all of the people that sent their pics. Many of those costumes were on point!! Glad to see people having fun and spreading their love for GoT!! 🙂

  3. So great!

    I love the muddy-bloody Jon Snow! I think that’s my favorite, most awesome shot of him in the series as he stands there after Wun Wun dies.

  4. Pretty much all of these costumes made me smile. Several made me grin ear-to-ear. Lots of talented and dedicated folks out there!

    Thanks for putting this all together, Oz!

  5. Great job, one and all!

    If this is a preview of the cosplay we’ll see at CoT… It’s gonna be fantastic!

  6. @Oz,

    Re: Not sure what you’re looking at category;

    I got an answer from Reddit, thanks to u/ Crossstitchkhaleesi

    “Honestly, while they´re all good/cute/funny, the by far best pic for me is this one:
    https://watchersonthewall.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/CwHraePWcAE0a_W-768×632.jpg
    Because of the sheer clusterfuck of weirdness going on there!
    I mean, here you have Jon Snow, who apparently has forsaken the Old Gods to join a fundie evangelical sect and is now proselytizing on street corners, then Ygritte´s derpy sister (or the visual embodiement of all the super-elaborate described grass in GRRM´s books, I´m undecided on that) … and last but not least a hunchback Dany with a unibrow in Princess Peach´s stolen dress, offering you a pine cone while grinning like a windowless-candy-van driver!
    I want to live with people like that 24/7!”

  7. Great job putting this together, lots of fun to look at My favs are the ones with Dany and baby in a dragon costume!

    Miss your posts, Oz, hope to see some more of them – it will be a long off season without them!

  8. Ok. Now I KNOW I’m too old. I didn’t get the Maisie/Sophie costume until I showed it to my 24-year-old, who said, “Not Girl Scouts, Mom! Pot Brownies!” 😉 Clever.

  9. Those girl scouts didn’t really pull off the GoT outfit, but they sure did a hell of a job with the make-up!!!

  10. The first costume with the little kid with those perfect curls and the white Pomeranian was the best costume of the year for me. The brooding stare into the camera..that kid has seen some stuff, man.
