Empress Middleton/The Mossy Log
Some relish spending hours tediously hot gluing sequins onto a cardboard corset, some put on the same jersey every year and call it a day and some do not even partake at all. At The Mossy Log, we do not judge how you celebrate Halloween, but we have collaborated with both the psychology and theater departments to devise a personalized quiz to help with your costume plans!
Please note: We here at The Backdoor do not condone or assume any responsibility for windows fallen through, carpets vomited upon, hook ups that you regret in the morning, and most importantly, taking more than two pieces of candy.

Mostly A’s: Willie Nelson
My neurotic darling, Halloween is your time to let loose. Put your hair in braids, don a red bandana and ease your mind with a hit of some guitar chords… and maybe something else 😉
Mostly B’s: Sexy River Otter
You are reliable and like routine, so dive into your playful side like our new mascot with the time-honored tradition of stumbling (wriggling, swimming or whatever you otter do) down the streets of Sellwood.
Mostly C’s: Fairy
You are a social butterfly in your everyday life, but this Halloween is your time to put on some real wings. Pack on that body glitter, because there is no such thing as too much sparkle!
Mostly D’s: Sheet ghost
The idea of planning and executing a costume is more of a fright to you than any creepy animatronics your neighbor put up. You might need to stop by the Bins to pick up a sheet, but from there this costume will be smooth sailing. Step 1: Wash the damn sheet. Please. Step 2: Poke some holes for your eyes. Even you can handle that.
