Halloween Costume Ideas
TV, comic books, humor, movies, science fiction, superheroes October 17th, 2008Here 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.

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.

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”
