Gim

It's Halloween, I'm in college, and I have $10 to spend on a costume. The solution? Buy duct tape and scissors.



P.S. - Ouch.

knitdan

So I take it this is just prep work, and you're actually going as

The Man Without A Face.

Feral

The pop art lady in the OP is amaze balls.

Gim

I went as The Man Who Couldn't Breathe Through His Pores Anymore.

This year, for the first time in six years, I actually teach on Halloween day. I will get to teach in costume!! I'm already teaching using my sonic screwdriver, but for one day I'll get to rock an entire Doctor outfit in front of the class.

Calica

Which one are you going as, @Richy?

KalTorak

My wife wants to go as Jesse Pinkman. I'm not sure who to accompany her as, since there are no asian males (or females, for that matter) in Breaking Bad.

Maybe Jane.

The 11th. I have a homemade red duck-tape bowtie and fez.

Quid

I have a pile of cardboard boxes.

I need to go to the craft store for a glue gun and from there I'm going to figure this out.

I been working my ass off for the first time in my life on my Halloween Costume: Macho Man Randy Savage.

Things are finally starting to come together, my last stumbling block is figuring out how to decorate the white tights I ordered.

I recommend you dress as a Rubic's cube.

If that's too hard, just pile them up, dig a hole down the middle, and dress as a pile of cardboard boxes. Bonus points if the pile is tall enough and the hole in the middle large enough that you can fold up inside and hide in a corner.

Well, they're mainly soda boxes and a couple pizza boxes so Rubic's cube is out.

Soda pop samurai is not yet.

Doing a quick-n-dirty Evil Dead Ash this year. I need to get my hands on some paint for my cardboard box chainsaw hand, but the rest of it is shaping up nicely.

Wear a lab coat and a spiked collar with a leash. That way she can be Jesse, and you can be her Science Bitch.

Get construction paper or spray paint and some wires.

Halloween is best holiday.

But I would like to address the prevalence of non-scary costumes on Halloween.

Why is the scary being sapped from Halloween?

Halloween is for scary costumes, not any costume.

Use one of the other freakin' 364 days of the year to dress up as a toaster or Spike Spiegle or whatever.

C'mon. What's Halloween about that?

I have declared Halloween the time for me to dress up as something I love that is totally obscure, so I have to explain my costume all night.

I might do a zombie some day, but ugh, so involved and messy!

Tomanta

I haven't done a costume in years and this year I just want to be lazy and will almost certainly just do Arthur Dent. If I can find my copy of Hitchhiker's, anyway.

Is this scary enough?


The paint's currently drying on my new hand. It's pretty swanky; I built in an interior handle and everything so it doesn't flop around. I still have to rig the blade so it's a little more stable, but if I've learned anything, it's that there's no problem enough cardboard and superglue can't fix.

Kyougu

Oh man, my Macho Man outfit is really coming together.

Last night I added the arm ribbons things and it really made the jacket. I'm just going to apply one more touch of paint and I'll post a picture of it.

I really went all out. Apart from the mandatory shades and hat I also got tights, wrestling boots and a toy WWE Championship belt (Which was a SS gift from these very forums!)

Needs more blood and rips in the shirt.

Also, way more chin.


EDIT: Can't you get a toy plastic chainsaw from a dollarstore or toys-r-us?

Bursar

I checked around and there was nothing less than $20, which was more than I'm willing to go for a detail on a last-minute homemade costume idea.

super agree ++

too many people trying to make halloween into mardi gras with stupid costumes.

be scary or stay home.

I got my PHD in Horribleness this year-



I was able to track down the exact make for the gloves and boots. The goggles are close, They have the right flip up part, but I need to make the vents round. Also dirty it some. The coat is pretty good though I think the neck could be a little tighter.


I was at a party last weekend where a girl did the comic book look like in the OP. Took me a minute to figure out what it was. It looks just as cool in person.

This was my costume last year, thanks to @tapeslinger



I will post this year's costumes once I get pictures... I went kind of all out on one of them this year... makeup less impressive, but the props... the fucking props.

tapeslinger

siiiiiiigh

*is seriously considering wearing YOUR costume from last year for work this year, @syndalis.*
*...or possibly deeb's because it would be hilarious to see everyone try to parse that...*

I am tired of being a makeup artist and never coming up with a good actual-makeup-wearing costume
I think the best thing I've ever come up with was Death, and that was because whoops forgot Halloween dress up day at work, guess I will just be "me, but with wig and giant ankh"

Slo

Way too long to make

Magnets hold the guns on, for easy storage.

Edit: You can't see em, but theres an N7 emblem and a Earth Alliance one glued right on there.

But, but... who is going to pour your face mask so you can do the mould?

I cant even imagine doing it to yourself.

tapeslinger

oh, no, that mold from yours that I still have because that sculpt took stupid long and I would never want to redo it if I didn't have to? I have perfected ways of creating a membrane about half the thickness of the one I applied on yours. Since I know the forms in the nose and lip area aren't useful, I'm going to just create the part of the membrane with the scars and fudge the rest with SkinTite and ThiVex.

I actually can't stand being a model for lifecasting, so I look for every opportunity to bypass it, but if I had to I could create a face form with plaster gauze bandages to get the shape I need, I guess.
