With the Guardians of the Galaxy just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about who you want to dress up for your frightful festivities. Two particularly creepy costumes are those with the masks for Rocket Raccoon and Groot.

I’d rather be the Raccoon since i like to talk to my buddies in complete sentences and a wide variety of words.
Rocket so should I be stretching Halloween over a weekend, I can use the mask to complete my Shirt Tales costume.
People seem more likely to have sex with Bradley Cooper and people in animal costumes, so Rocket Raccoon was a no-brainer.
If I had to choose from the two, I’d pick Groot because I think it would be a LOT of fun to only speak a single sentence the entire night. A real test of my acting abilities.
I would most likely wear Groot, because I’m a Lover not a Fighter. He looks so happy and peaceful. Then I can go out and do the live version of “The Giving Tree”!
Groot looks creepy as heck. The lower half of his face looks like the Baby from the Dinosaurs sitcom.
Good call, that makes him extra creepy.
“Not the mama Groot!”
Ladies are looking for Groot in the Streets and Rocket Raccon in the Sheets. My Vote goes to Rocket Raccon.
I’m 6’4″. Groot is by far the more natural choice.
I would have to say Rocket. I don’t tolerate masks, but could do him in makeup. Groot would be much more challenging.
Obviously I’m going to wear the Groot mask, so I voted for that.
Obviously my daughter will be going as Rocket Raccoon.
Of the two, Rocket is marginally less unsettling and scary so I have to vote that way. Both of them are making me worry there’s something hiding under my bed though.
Nope, just can’t do “furry.” Gotta go Groot.
Well, we don’t really do the Halloweens in Australia…. so…
OMFG!!! Rocket Raccoon!!!! OMFG SO CUUUUTTTEEEEE!
I’m a taller guy so I would choose Groot. A raccoon over 6 feet tall would be really terrifying.
Both. Remember that garbage man muppet that carried Oscar the Grouch’s trash can while Oscar still interacted with others around them? It’d be something like that. Why? Because I’m far too tall to be an accurate Rocket, but I’d rather be Rocket than Groot, so I’d rather make an overly complicated costume/puppet than just be a very large female Rocket.
