Halloween Costume Ideas
Here are some Halloween costume ideas! All of these costumes could be made by you at home with a little time and effort. These pictures were taken by me at DragonCon over the past few years. Some of these pictures have been featured previously here at ONCE UPON A GEEK, but they merit being shown again for Halloween ideas.
A brilliantly funny take on “Iron Man”
Ladies… you can pretty much pick any sexy-looking thing out of your closet and just call it a costume. No guy is going to argue with you.
A few white cardboard boxes + scissors + tape + black marker = Genius Cardboard Stormtroopers!
Lego’s and patience are required to make “Lego Fett”
Red Bathing Suit/Underwear + Blue Wig = Sexy version of Thing 1 & 2 from “Cat in the Hat”
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Costumes!
Hancock Prisoner costume! Very clever!
Death from Sandman. Easy and subtle costume.
Be creative, just don’t expect to always roll a Natural 20.
Got a Pirate Flag? Then you’ve got a costume!
Axl Rose! Mimicking a celebrity can be fun!
Indiana Jones and friends. Fairly simple, but immediately recognizable.
Build yourself a Wii! Be your own plaything. 🙂
Duct Tape… check! You’re done!
1950s Zombie Family! Easy and the whole family can play along.
Life-sized Tetris!
The All-Spark from Transformers. Subtle, but smart.
Sometimes a costume is as easy as just wearing underwear; like this Droog from Clockwork Orange.
Pac-Man Fever!
Funny hats and lots of alcohol are all that’s required for Devo!
Trick or Treat!
Great costumes. Anything made from corrugated cardboard is awesome in my book.
the Duct Tape Girl actually went to a con dressed like that? that takes guts!
I can’t afford the amount of duct tape I’d need.
How I laughed at Iron Man – that was really clever.
And to Erika: I’ve got some half-chewed red duct tape that Zachary (my dog) nibbled on for a half hour. It’s yours if you take the pics 🙂
You gotta love scantily clad women. You’re a dirtier older man than me.
I am so glad Bill & Ted are still considered cool. Totally underrated.
These aren’t Halloween costumes, they’re from DragonCon in Atlanta…
Those are really cool. IRON MAN was cool, lego, wii, pacman, tetris was one of my favorite. Loved all of those sexy collections but not the “duct tape”
haha <3 the costumes!
that duct tape girl:
i think that removing the bottom part can do lot of pain…
good effort people! just stumbled upon this…i live in the UK
This really is terrific, my son loves star wars lego and nearly always annoying me about it – your site has solved many of my doubts. Time for lots more browsing!
These are super funny! The Hancock Prisoner costume cracks me up! I love the Pac Man costume. That is really cool. I have not seen that one before!
I love the costumes that the women are wearing, but those are barely costumes. Anyway, they keep getting better year after year. Axel Rocks!
Great collection of costumes! Need more superheroes though! Although Iron Man was very funny…
Loved the Hancock prisoner costume! What a creative idea! These are all great. Glad I found your site. Feel free to visit mine as well!
The guy wearing the AXL ROSE COSTUME…you can find his tattoos (temporary Axl Rose replica tattoos) here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/BamaSpyder
@erica -> nice knowing that 🙂 good for you! 🙂
So the default costume for females is “wear something slutty and call it a costume, nobody will argue”. Excellent.
@Ruby – That’s not the default, it’s just an option available.
Why the fuck is every girl in here like half naked? Seriously.
