Eric's AP Language teacher was surprised that he would dress up as a villain.
But he was just a Disney cartoon bad guy, so that's different! Syndrome is from the movie The Incredibles. Syndrome is the only self-made "super hero" in the show. I would say this costume reflects that idea pretty well. Note the S is made from masking tape, and the white boots are, well, not exactly boots. But the hair? Nailed it! Eric was one of the few brave souls who dressed up for Halloween at school.
This is what happens when you have a friend (Andre) who complains that they never get trick-or-treaters at their house, and they buy candy every year, and Eric decides this is his last chance to score some of that candy. He calls the neighbor friend, (Drew) and says, just come over, I'll find you a costume so we can go trick-or-treat at Andres.
Drew may not initially have been excited, but once he heard some polka music, he really got into his character of a yodeler. And it paid off big time. These guys not only got large candy bars from the Stegners, they got sent next door to the Stegner's neighbors for a bunch more candy. Their pillowcases actually looked respectable after knocking on just two doors! That's the way to do Halloween your Senior year I guess.
