Hey guys, I got invited to a ‘clue’ party and I have a hard time coming up with a character and appropriate murder weapon. Let me hear your suggestions…I don’t mind going in drag and I can’t be one of the official game characters Thanks ---

You could go as The Gimp, and the murder weapon could be the ball gag. 😉 ---

You could always go as one of the obscure characters from the old VCR board game _Clue II: Murder In Disguise_: Sgt. Gray: Split-personality security guard Weapon: Nightstick Madam Rose: Fortune teller Weapon: Crystall ball Monsieur Brunette: Frenchman Weapon: Sword Miss Peach: Southern waitress Weapon: Pepper mill ---

You could go as Mr. [Asian Last Name] and your weapon could be your hands (karate!) Then you not only could wear a spiffy [Asian-style suits](http://www.chinasprout.com/shop/apparel/men), but you also don’t have to drag a weapon around all night. I saw a guy at a wedding this weekend with a suit like that. He looked SHARP. He is a Philippino guy but my date (a tall, blonde white guy) and I decided he’d also look sharp in it. ---

I’m not sure about costume or name but a giant dildo would be a great weapon. ---

How about going as Maxwell Smart, with a shoe phone being your weapon of choice? ---

Dr Pinkenstein Outfit- rubber or surgical gloves, safety goggles, labcoat (uniform stores have them for about $20), really old calculator, or better yet a sliderule, really cheezy German accent. Weapon- 1920’s Style Death Ray ---

Murder in a color theme? Here’s your [look](http://www.robokopp.de/images/clockwork_orange/a_clockwork_orange_11.jpg). And if somebody spoils the punchline and guesses your color is _A Clockwork Orange_, you can bust their kneecaps and tell them “No, I’m the old ultraviolet.” ---

> [@Twin](#): > > You could always go as one of the obscure characters from the old VCR board game _Clue II: Murder In Disguise_: > > Sgt. Gray > Madam Rose > Monsieur Brunette > Miss Peach Two points: 1. They were actually in the FIRST Clue VCR game. 2. They were FIRST introduced in the board game Clue: Master Detective. (In fact, the board game borrows from the VCR game, or vice versa, at least one detail: that Sgt. Gray was colorblind.) ---

Oh, and to address the OP: why not go as one of the original characters from the movie (i.e. Wadsworth, Mrs. Ho, Yvette, the singing telegram girl, etc.)? ---

Thanks for all the suggestions…I found a great vinyl ‘evil’ nurse outfit at Hot Topic, all I need now a supersized syringe from a costume store and voila Kitty Kevorkian sees the light of day ---

Wear a normal suit with a noose tied around your neck, a fake dagger stuck in your back, and a bullet wound on your forehead or chest, and tell everyone you are Mr. Boddy.
