Look at these from DragonCon!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Here are some Halloween costume ideas! All of these costumes appeared at DragonCon 2010.\u00a0 Some of these are incredibly elaborate, while others are fairly simple and could be made by you at home with a little time and effort.\u00a0 There were hundreds (if not thousands) of different costumes at DragonCon. These just happen to represent some of my favorites.\u00a0 To see all of my DragonCon photos from 2010, visit my Flickr page<\/a>. If you have a favorite costume that I left out, be sure to mention it in the comments.<\/p>\n
