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.

  1. 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 🙂

  2. 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”

  3. 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!

  4. 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!

  5. So the default costume for females is “wear something slutty and call it a costume, nobody will argue”. Excellent.
