The winner of the first ever Wisconsin Sickness Halloween costume contest and the coveted t-shirt of doom is Becca Bates!

As a beautifully decaying toxic zombie she got the most likes on the Wisconsin Sickness facebook page.

Becca personally handcrafted her zombie look, so if anyone needs a makeup artist for an upcoming zombie flick, you know who to talk to!

There were more great costumes, including Vic Rattlehead with Jesus, Beetlejuice, Frank from Donnie Darko, a Halloween wedding complete with caskets, a crazy deformed redneck, and a couple hot girl cops that make me wish I was in cuffs.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a costume photo and made the first Wisconsin Sickness contest interesting!

If you still want a shirt you can contact me to buy one or wait hopelessly for the next time I can give one away.

So…because Halloween actually lands on a weekend this year and that is when most shows and parties will happen, it’s dumb to expect anyone to post a picture of them in their costume before then.

Post your costume pictures up as soon as possible, and voting (liking) will continue through the first week of November.

If no one enters the contest by posting a picture of them in their Halloween costume to the Wisconsin Sickness facebook page (which is the reason why I stopped running any kind of contest that required participation with my last website) then that just saves me the shipping and handling costs!

The Halloween costume contest details are right here.

There is a big Halloween show happening at the Logemann Community Center in Mequon (map) tomorrow night, Friday, October 23rd.

The lineup includes The Analyst, Apophis, Gabriel Hunter, Chapter Black, Micawber, Cain & Abel, This Ship Will Sink, Arsenal Of Blasphemy, and Lying Still.

The show starts at 6pm and costs $9 to get in – $7 if you come in costume.

Sounds crazy. Don’t miss it! And send some pictures or video over!

The Meadowbrook Haunted Cornfield in West Bend (map) is getting a lot of hype this year. This video is a slideshow tour of the cornfield maze.

Sleep Serapis Sleep will be playing a Halloween show at the Miramar Theater on Friday, October 30th.

The doors open at 5pm.

The cost to get in is $6 or $5 if you come in costume.

Also on the bill are:

Chrodh Mara

Renea

A Wretched Betrayal

A Night At The Chalet

Six dollars, six bands, six reasons to mosh.

Winning shit is cool.

You like to win shit?

I like to win shit.

Here is your only chance to win a Wisconsin Sickness t-shirt!

The Wisconsin Sickness Halloween Costume Contest works like this:

1. Become a fan on the Wisconsin Sickness facebook page.

2. Post a picture on the Wall of you in your Halloween costume.

3. The one with the most “likes” by Halloween night wins the shirt.

The winner will be informed later, because of course we all have our pagan rituals, sacrifices, and orgies to attend on All Hallow’s Eve. And yes, the winner will have to send me their address so I can stalk…um…send them their free shirt!

So put your costume on, get all gorified, become a fan on facebook, and lets show the world just how deviant and degenerate we can be here in Wisconsin!

Don’t forget to tell your friends, family, and dead neighbors (if their not dead it’s up to you to fix that) to drop in and give you their vote because, let’s face it, how can you really make it through the rest of your life without your own Wisconsin Sickness t-shirt?

This is detrimental to our survival as a species, to our very evolution and our place in the food chain.

Which reminds me – Facebook claims I would only last two weeks in the event of a zombie apocalypse, while Nikki Farce would survive a whole month. I think she just might be trading the zombies sexual favors for her life.

Well fuck you facebook. I might not have any of those feminine wiles, but I read the Zombie Survival Guide. Based on what I remember, that should give me at two and a half weeks motherfucker.

Win a t-shirt!
