Spookiest Halloween costume?

Which of these acts—all in town this week—would help you scare up the most candy?

Puscifer

Instead of vampire gear, you wear: Shaved head, dark sunglasses, cowboy hat. Avoid direct eye contact.

Instead of "trick or treat" you say: "V is for Vagina." If you're feeling polite, opt for the remixed version, "V is for Viagra."

Instead of Snickers, you'll get: The snacks Maynard James Keenan promised last time at the Pearl and never delivered.

Slipknot

Instead of vampire gear, you wear: Disturbingly clown-like mask, jumpsuit. Have eight friends dress exactly the same.

Instead of "trick or treat" you say: "People = shit."
