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?

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.
