These Ghetto Transformers costumes are made using cardboard boxes, paint and probably some paper mache.
It’s all fun and games until it starts to rain. Soggy cardboard might be the least intimidating material ever. You can’t even give someone a paper cut with that shit. These costumes might work as a Halloween costume on a dry night, but for fighting Decepticons? I’ll stick with brute metal.
The days following Halloween are always a lot of fun. Not only do we get to munch on mountains of leftover candy, but we get to see photos of everyone’s awesome finished costume ideas. This Big Head Self-Portrait Papercraft costume is one of the neatest I’ve seen yet.
Eric Testroete got a little cocky. I mean this guy’s head was huge. He created a papercraft model of himself so he could show off his gigantic ego. The finished product makes his real head look massive and pixel-licious.
Ok, so this costume WOULD have been awesome had we heard about it, say, a week and a half ago, but alas, Halloween has come and gone and now we’ll have to wait another full-year before we can dress up in this Low Resolution costume, and possibly make up for our awful Borat costume we’ve worn for the second Halloween in a row. Well, I guess we could really dress in a costume any day of the year if we wanted, we’d just risk being arrested for disturbing the peace.
This clever costumer used pixelized face paint and a blockish collared shirt to make themselves appear as a low resolution image. I would have added the Pixel necklace for even extra effect. Pure genius.
Halloween doesn’t have to be all about getting the shit scared out of you. Craftster user SonicsInk posted this awesome Mother-Son Family Guy costume, perfect for a comedy-filled Halloween.
And remember, there is always the potential for some scariness. Stewie has been trying to kill his mother for years now. Victory will be his! I love the little details, such as the Brian doll humping Lois’s leg.
What might be the coolest damn costume ever, this Comic Book Character costume turns your skin into a pointillist canvas, perfect for those who prefer their significant others in 2D.
I can always use a little Lois Lane action in my life. Amirite, huh huh?
Silly Balloon Boy, tricks are for kids. Oh… wait.
The Balloon Boy Halloween Costume kit includes everything you need to start your own media frenzy, minus a seven-year-old boy. You’ll have to get your hands on one of them yourself.
Still having a tough time picking out your Halloween costume? This Mona Lisa costume will probably work for both men and woman since the Mona Lisa itself is of ambiguous sex to begin with.
Simply create your own mock Mona Lisa design and cut a face hole in your design. Designer Alexa Westerfield provides more in-depth instructions on her site as well as other “masterpiece” ideas.
What do you dress the future trash men of America as for Halloween? Well, of course, you dress them as garbage trucks. Wait… what?! Wouldn’t a garbage man costume make more sense? I guess there isn’t a real standard costume for a trash man.
What kid wouldn’t jump at the chance to dress as a garbage truck? Maybe you can dump the contents of some of your five-day-old trash bags to give them that authentic rotting smell. It’s all in good fun.
Scarface would have been all over this Cocaine Scale, which makes the device resemble an iPhone. Take off the mobile-esque case and poof, snort away into your own magical world of speed. A scale is essential for dealers who like to measure their sale out to the exact milligram.
While in its case, the scale looks like your average iPhone, just about the same size, with all of the apps and even a home button. But would a cop know the difference? That’s a paraphernalia charge right there.
