I always do Halloween big at my house. Last year I did Hellboy and it was fantastic if I say so myself (See attached)
This year I've decided to do something I've always wanted to do. Cornelius. The 1971 version as played by Roddy McDowell in Escape from Planet of the Apes. I loved those movies, as bad as they were. I was upset when I wasn't able to make Pensacon the year Nova was there (even though she's 75 now).
I've searched out facial appliances, paint, hair and all the things I need to do it justice. It'll take me several weeks of work to get it all prepped.
My kids are mortified at my decision. They say my costume will be seen as racist. But I'm going with a crashed space ship motif, including wearing an astronaut suit. I can't see how that could be considered racist.
BUT I'm asking just to verify.
Am I going to end up on the news for the wrong reasons if I do this?

I don't see how it could be racist.
And you would be the last person I'd expect to give two fucks what the woke generation thinks.

Definitely not racist. They're still making those monkey movies. Go for it and make sure and post the pics.

AbsoFuckingLutely! That would be great.
I was going to go like this this year since I've grown the beard out but I'll be diving in St Lucia on Halloween so maybe I'll do it around Christmas.

The older generation will get it.
I'm not sure what the younger generation will say. (don't really care)
The first two Planet of the Apes were my favorite. (really the first)
If you do it right, it shoud be epic.

Everything is racist these days.

Doesn't the fact that you even asked the question speak volumes on where we are in society? In fact, I put it to you, Greg....Isn't this an indictment of our entire American society?
We've taken intent out of every equation when it comes to perceived racism. You want to do a Halloween theme based off a movie. The movie itself was made with no intent of being racist and you're doing this Halloween dealio with absolutely no intent of being racist. But, you actually have to ask the question of whether or not somebody might be "offended".

Do you think it would be offensive if I portrayed the dude portraying the dude?
I was going to go as Dan Akroyd in Trading Places when he played Lionel Joseph

Bingo.
Last year I had a neighbor complain about the “demonic†influences. Hellboy, graveyard with zombies and skeletons, ghost hologram.
On the opposite side I had some Boy Scouts selling popcorn last Saturday come by the house. One of them wanted to know what day I was going to do the yard this year because they wanted to tell their friends.

Be as close to this as I can get. I take it seriously enough that I've watched the movies and practiced the movements (shuffle walk, for instance).
