Hah! Frodo would dress up as a giant spider... very scary! Or as a Ringwraith "My alter-Ego."

Sam would be an oliphaunt. Or maybe a frying pan.

I think Denethor would dress up as the King of Gondor and Saruman would be Sauron's eye.

Boots The ole switcharoo

I think Gimli would go to the local costume store and by stilts and extra-extra large elf costume (to fit his pot belly.) Of course, he would never shave his beard. So I guess he would be a very comical looking elf for Halloween.

Poor Legolas can't make himself any shorter, so he'd be a really tall skinny dwarf with a tie on beard.

Pippin would go as a mushroom.

Merry as a leaf of pipeweed. Or as a smoke-ring.

Gollum would definitely be Santa. I don't know why, he just would be.

Aragorn would dress as a Jedi. Cuz Jedi's are cool.

Legolas would dress up as Chief from Halo. Shooting and all that.

Frodo would come as Donald Trump.

Gimli would be Mickey Mouse. ??

Pippin would forget about the party because he was drunk in anticipation.

Gothmog would come as himself, and win first in the scariest costume contest.

And finally: A Balrog would come, with wings on his back, and no one would be able to say if the wings were a part of him or his costume.

Eye

Gollum would wear a dark blonde wig, a glove on his right hand, and carry a blue lightsaber, and Frodo would part his mullet on the side, grow a beard, and likewise carry a blue lightsaber. Then the two of them would proceed to Mount Doom where they would battle to the death and Frodo would cut Gollum's appendages off and throw him into the lava. (Sauron would show up later in a raggedy black robe...)

Meanwhile, back in the Shire, Sam would wear a white porcelain mask and teach Rosie how to sing from underneath the bar...

None of that was really Halloween but I'm in parody mode today.

Legolas might dress up as a Nazgul, causing Frodo (who's dressed as Bilbo) to panic, running straight into Merry and Pippen (who are dressed up as a orc [think Horse-suit, but on each other shoulders]). Frodo, would back up slowly into Aragorn (who is dressed as Boromir (with arrows weilded unto the armor with tiny holes which squirt fake blood). Across the room, Sam (wearing a cage) watches in horror as Gimli (dressed up as Smaug) sneaks up on the poor hobbit.

Gandalf would go as Saruman or he would just go uncloaked (I really need to calm down with that!)
Sauron would go as Morgoth, his master and hero.
Aragorn would go as Haldir because he knows Arwen was cheating on him with him.
Arwen would go as Eowyn
Haldir would go as Aragorn because he wanted to get away from Arwen for a bit and that would become a problem because......
Eowyn would go as Arwen and go after Halidr because she thought it was actually Aragorn.
Théoden would go as himself tyring to get Arwen, who was actually his niece.
Pippin and Merry would go as each other because they don't want to act like anyone else.
Sam would go as Frodo because Frodo's is his hero and master.
Frodo would go as Sam because he can't get a girl and all the girls are after Sam. (that's not true but for now, let's think it is)
Legolas and Gimli would go as each other.
Faramir would go as Boromir.
Boromir would go as a Wight.
Denethor would go as the Human Torch.
Eomer would go as....... a tree!!! Just because he has no originality.
