CKYKOK posted an album of the 2013 Halloween costumes he and his family made from the movie, “Up.”
They made Carl, Russell, a construction worker, Charles, Kevin the peacock, and even a baby Kevin.
If anyone is interested, CKYKOK said all of the costumes are available for purchase. For more info, PM him through Imgur.
Halloween is but 44 days away, meaning you only have 7 weekends left to finish your costume. Haven’t even thought of an idea yet? Well, allow me to suggest Kerbals from The Kerbal Space Program!
Reddit user awallick has posted a great How-To for these Kerbal costumes that he and his friends created for Dragon Con this year, showing the ingenious process which includes paper macheing over gym balls to create the monstrous space helmets. Click here to see how the KSP costumes were created.
Looking forward to more great costume ideas in the run up to Halloween. Have one of your own? Let us know in the comments below.
Just over 3 weeks until Halloween (at the time of this posting) – do you know what your (or your kids’) Halloween costume will be?
In case you’re still in the “seeking Divine inspiration” phase, let me point you to this very divine Firefly costume set. MADE. WITH. DUCT. TAPE. I saw this post first on MyDisguises.com, but it looks like the conversation started over on FireflyFans.net. Toledo392 posted there, requesting votes for his entry into Duck Brand’s “Stuck at the Prom” contest. He wrote:
“In this contest, high school students from all over the country create prom outfits using duct tape. Ten finalists are selected from all of the entries, and online voting determines the winner. To demonstrate my devotion to Firefly, I created my duct tape ensemble inspired by Mal’s tux and Kaylee’s dress from Shindig. These outfits made it into the top ten.
I used over 20 rolls of duct tape, and had to overcome laws of physics (all those ruffles are heavy!) as well as wear the outfit in Phoenix summer temperatures exceeding 107 degrees.”
Very impressive, and indeed – very shiny.
STOP THE PRESSES!!!
A whole cartload of AWESOME was just unloaded over at Burdastyle. I have seen some AWFUL barbie costumes in my time, and to be fair, most of them are made my small children so I shouldn’t be so judgemental. But I am.
These are the things that Star Wars Barbie dreams are made of.
Burdastyle community member Morgan (lanternwaste33) has uploaded her stash of Padme Amidala and Princess Leia Barbie costumes.
The accuracy, detail and craftsmanship are certainly worth a look!
(Not to mention the pretty pretty dresses *fangirl squee*)
If you’ve got a chance you should also check out Morgan’s studio on Burdastyle She and her sister Allison have made some awesome people sized Star Wars Costumes too.
Kelly Szpunar at HunkyDory comes up with the best stuff. When this originally landed in my inbox I was thrilled,then disappointed as Halloween was over and geek crafts had been pretty well costumed…but after some discussion, it was decided that these amazing Doctor Who Costumes were too cool to hang onto until next year. The Doctor is so well done! And the take on the Dalek is too cool, I love that it is an “outfit” made to look Dalek-y and not a full Dalek suit made of carboard and spray painted tennis balls! And the super Doctor Who geek in me is thrilled that someone went as a TARDIS, since the TARDIS is supposed to be a living entity, after all.
It’s been really fun writing up awesome Halloween costumes this month! Here are my three favorites I’ve posted about…
Ruth Suehle‘s amazing Red Queen costume for Dragon*Con,
thestamppit‘s super-creepy Coraline “Other Mother” costume for Dragon*Con,
and Bonnie Burton‘s fantastic Jabba the Hutt costume patrolling the halls at LucasFilm!
